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!
Terrible things will happen to you people in Jerusalem who are not worried about anything, and also to you leaders who live on Samaria Hill who think that you are safe. [You think that] [IRO] you are the most important people [in the world], people to whom Israeli people [MTY] go [to get help].
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?
But go to Calneh [city] and see [what happened there]. Then go to [see] the great [city] Hamath [and see what happened there]. Then go down to Gath [city] in Philistia [and see what happened to their city walls]. Your land/country is certainly not [RHQ] larger or more powerful than their countries were, [but they were all destroyed].
3 Asi pay dagiti mangitantantan iti aldaw ti didigra ken mangpapaasideg iti trono ti kinaranggas.
You are trying to not think about a day when you will experience disasters, when [your enemies will come and] violently attack you.
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.
You lie on beds [decorated with expensive] ivory, and on [soft] couches. You eat [the tender meat of] lambs and fat calves.
5 Agkankantada iti minamaag a kanta iti tokar ti arpa; agim-imbentoda kadagiti instrumento a kas iti inaramid ni David.
You create/compose new songs and play them on your harps like [King] David did.
6 Agin-inomda iti arak kadagiti mallukong ken sapsapoanda dagiti bagbagida kadagiti kanginaan a lana, ngem saanda nga agladingit iti pannakadadael ni Jose.
You drink entire bowlfuls of wine and you put expensive oils/perfumes on your bodies, but you do not grieve about [your country of] Israel [MTY], which is about to be destroyed.
7 Isu a maitalawdan a kas balud a kadua dagiti umuna a maitalaw, ket sumardengton dagiti parambak dagiti agul-uldag.
Your feasting and lounging [on soft couches] will soon end, and you will be among the first ones to be forced [by your enemies] to go (into exile/to another country).
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.”
Yahweh the Lord has solemnly declared this: “I hate the people of Israel because they are very proud; I detest their fortresses. I will enable [their enemies] to capture their [capital] city and everything in it.”
9 Ket mapasamakto a no adda iti nabati a sangapulo a tao iti maysa a balay, mataydanto amin.
[When that happens, ] if there are ten people in one house, they will all 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.”
If a relative who (has the task of/is responsible for) burning their corpses comes to the house and inquires of anyone who is still hiding there, “Is there anyone here with you?”, and that person replies “No,” [the one who inquired] will say, “Be quiet! We must not mention the name of Yahweh, [lest he cause us also to be killed]!”
11 Ta kitaenyo, mangtedto ni Yahweh iti bilin, ket marumekto ti dakkel a balay kasta met ti bassit a balay.
[Terrible things like that will happen] because Yahweh has commanded that large houses [in Israel] must be smashed into pieces, and small houses must be smashed into tiny bits.
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.
Horses certainly do not [RHQ] run on big rocks, and certainly people do not [RHQ] plow the sea with oxen. But you have [done things that no one should do]: You have distorted what is fair/right and caused it to be considered like poison [MET]; you have changed what is right and consider it to be like things that are bitter.
13 Dakayo nga agragragsak gapu ta sinakopyo ti Lodebar, nga ibagbagayo, “Saankadi a pinarmekmi ti Karnaim babaen iti bukodmi a pigsa?”
You are proud because you have captured Lo-Debar [town], and you have said, “We captured Karnaim by our own power!”
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.”
But the Commander of the armies of angels declares, “I will cause another nation to attack you people [MTY] of Israel; they will (oppress you/cause you to suffer) all the way from Hamath Pass [in the northwest] to the Dead Sea [in the southeast].”
