< Amos 6 >

1 Asi pay dagiti nanam-ay idiay Sion ken dagiti natalged iti katurturodan a pagilian ti Samaria, dagiti mabigbigbig a lallaki iti kangrunaan kadagiti nasion, a pagpatpatulongan ti balay ti Israel!
Woe to them that are at ease in Zion, and to them that are secure in the mountain of Samaria, the notable men of the chief of the nations, to whom the house of Israel come!
2 Ibagbaga dagiti mangidadaulo kadakayo, “Mapankayo idiay Calne ket kitaenyo; manipud sadiay, mapankayo idiay Hamath, ti dakkel a siudad; kalpasanna, sumalogkayo idiay Gat a lugar dagiti Filisteo. Nasaysayaat kadi dagidiay ngem ti dua a pagarianyo? Nalawlawa kadi ti beddengda ngem ti beddengyo?
Pass ye unto Calneh, and see; and from thence go ye to Hamath the great: then go down to Gath of the Philistines: be they better than these kingdoms? or is their border greater than your border?
3 Asi pay dagiti mangitantantan iti aldaw ti didigra ken mangpapaasideg iti trono ti kinaranggas.
Ye that put far away the evil day, and cause the seat of violence to come near;
4 Agid-iddada kadagiti kama a naaramid babaen iti marfil ken agul-uldagda kadagiti sofada. Sidsidaenda ti karne dagiti urbon a karnero manipud iti arban ken ti karne dagiti baka a nagappu iti kulungan.
that lie upon beds of ivory, and stretch themselves upon their couches, and eat the lambs out of the flock, and the calves out of the midst of the stall;
5 Agkankantada iti minamaag a kanta iti tokar ti arpa; agim-imbentoda kadagiti instrumento a kas iti inaramid ni David.
that sing idle songs to the sound of the viol; that devise for themselves instruments of music, like David;
6 Agin-inomda iti arak kadagiti mallukong ken sapsapoanda dagiti bagbagida kadagiti kanginaan a lana, ngem saanda nga agladingit iti pannakadadael ni Jose.
that drink wine in bowls, and anoint themselves with the chief ointments; but they are not grieved for the affliction of Joseph.
7 Isu a maitalawdan a kas balud a kadua dagiti umuna a maitalaw, ket sumardengton dagiti parambak dagiti agul-uldag.
Therefore now shall they go captive with the first that go captive, and the revelry of them that stretched themselves shall pass away.
8 Siak, nga Apo a ni Yahweh, ti nangisapata iti daytoy— daytoy ti imbaga ni Yahweh nga Apo, ti Dios a mannakabalin amin: “Kagurgurak ti kinapalangguad ni Jacob; kagurgurak dagiti sarikedkedna. Ngarud, iyawatkonto ti siudad ken amin nga adda iti daytoy.”
The Lord GOD hath sworn by himself, saith the LORD, the God of hosts; I abhor the excellency of Jacob, and hate his palaces: therefore will I deliver up the city with all that is therein.
9 Ket mapasamakto a no adda iti nabati a sangapulo a tao iti maysa a balay, mataydanto amin.
And it shall come to pass, if there remain ten men in one house, that they shall die.
10 No umay ti kabagian ti maysa tao a mangala kadagiti bangkayda— ti tao a mangpuor kadagiti bangkay kalpasan nga irruarna dagitoy manipud iti balay— no ibagana iti tao nga adda iti uneg ti balay, “Adda kadi kaduam?” Ket no ibaga dayta a tao, “Awan”, ket ibagananto, “Agulimekka, ta masapul a saanta nga ibalikas ti nagan ni Yahweh.”
And when a man’s uncle shall take him up, even he that burneth him, to bring out the bones out of the house, and shall say unto him that is in the innermost parts of the house, Is there yet any with thee? and he shall say, No; then shall he say, Hold thy peace; for we may not make mention of the name of the LORD.
11 Ta kitaenyo, mangtedto ni Yahweh iti bilin, ket marumekto ti dakkel a balay kasta met ti bassit a balay.
For, behold, the LORD commandeth, and the great house shall be smitten with breaches, and the little house with clefts.
12 Makataray kadi dagiti kabalio kadagiti kabatbatoan a deraas? Pagaradoen kadi iti maysa a tao ti baka sadiay? Ngem pinagbalinyo a sabidong ti hustisia ken pinagbalinyo a napait ti bunga ti kinalinteg.
Shall horses run upon the rock? will one plow [there] with oxen? that ye have turned judgment into gall, and the fruit of righteousness into wormwood:
13 Dakayo nga agragragsak gapu ta sinakopyo ti Lodebar, nga ibagbagayo, “Saankadi a pinarmekmi ti Karnaim babaen iti bukodmi a pigsa?”
ye which rejoice in a thing of nought, which say, Have we not taken to us horns by our own strength?
14 “Ngem kitaenyo, mangibangonakto iti maysa a nasion maibusor kadakayo, balay iti Israel”—daytoy ti imbaga ni Yahweh nga Apo, a Dios a mannakabalin-amin. “Parigatendakayonto manipud iti Lebo Hamat agingga iti waig ti Araba.”
For, behold, I will raise up against you a nation, O house of Israel, saith the LORD, the God of hosts; and they shall afflict you from the entering in of Hamath unto the brook of the Arabah.
