Amós 6
1 Ai dos descançados em Sião, e dos seguros no monte de Samaria: que tem nome entre as primeiras das nações, e aos quais se foi a casa de 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 Passai a Calne, e vede; e dali ide à grande Hamath; e descei a Gath dos philisteus, se são melhores que estes reinos, ou maior o seu termo do que o vosso termo.
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 Vós que afastais o dia mau, e achegais o assento de violência.
You are trying to not think about a day when you will experience disasters, when [your enemies will come and] violently attack you.
4 Os que dormem em camas de marfim, e se estendem sobre os seus leitos, e comem os cordeiros do rebanho, e os bezerros do meio da manada:
You lie on beds [decorated with expensive] ivory, and on [soft] couches. You eat [the tender meat of] lambs and fat calves.
5 Que cantam ao som do alaúde, e inventam para si instrumentos músicos, assim como David:
You create/compose new songs and play them on your harps like [King] David did.
6 Que bebem vinho de taças, e se ungem com o mais excelente óleo: mas não se afligem pela quebra de José:
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 Portanto agora irão em cativeiro entre os primeiros dos que forem em cativeiro, e cessarão os festins dos estendidos.
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 Jurou o Senhor Jehovah pela sua alma (diz o Senhor Deus dos exércitos): Tenho em abominação a soberba de Jacob, e aborreço os seus palácios; e entregarei a cidade e a sua plenitude.
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 E acontecerá que, ficando de resto dez homens numa casa, morrerão.
[When that happens, ] if there are ten people in one house, they will all die.
10 E a alguém tomará o seu tio, ou o que o queima, para levar os ossos fora da casa; e dirá ao que estiver nos cantos da casa: Está ainda alguém contigo? E ele dirá: Nenhum. E dirá este: Cala-te, porque não convém fazer menção do nome do Senhor.
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 Porque, eis que o Senhor dá ordem, e ferirá a casa grande de quebraduras, e a casa pequena de fendas.
[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 Porventura correrão cavalos na rocha? arar-se-á nela com bois? porque haveis vós tornado o juízo em fel, e o fruto da justiça em alosna?
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 Vós que vos alegrais de nada, vós que dizeis: Não nos temos nós tornado poderosos por nossa força?
You are proud because you have captured Lo-Debar [town], and you have said, “We captured Karnaim by our own power!”
14 Porque, eis que eu levantarei sobre vós, ó casa de Israel, um povo, diz o Senhor Deus dos exércitos, e oprimir-vos-ão, desde a entrada de Hamath até ao ribeiro da planície.
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].”
