Amos 6
1 Teško bezbrižnima u Sionu i onima koji su bez straha u gori Samarijskoj, koji su na glasu izmeðu poglavica narodima, ka kojima dolazi dom Izrailjev.
Woe [to] those secure in Zion, And those confident on the mountain of Samaria, The marked of the chief of the nations, And the house of Israel has come to them.
2 Proðite u Halnu i vidite, i odande idite u veliki Emat, poslije siðite u Gat Filistejski; je li koje carstvo bolje od ovijeh? jesu li im meðe prostranije od vaših meða?
Pass over [to] Calneh and see, And go there [to] Hamath the great, And go down [to] Gath of the Philistines, Are [they] better than these kingdoms? [Is] their border greater than your border?
3 Teško vama koji mislite da je daleko zli dan, a primièete stolicu na kojoj je nasilje;
Who are putting away the day of evil, And you bring the seat of violence near,
4 Koji liježete na odrima od slonove kosti i pružate se na posteljama svojim, i jedete jaganjce iz stada i teoce ugojene;
Who are lying down on beds of ivory, And are spread out on their couches, And are eating lambs from the flock, And calves from the midst of the stall,
5 Koji pjevate uza psaltire, i izmišljate sprave muzièke kao David;
Who are taking part according to the stringed instrument, Like David they invented for themselves instruments of music;
6 Koji pijete vino velikim èašama, i mažete se skupocjenijem mirisima, a ne marite za polom Josifov.
Who are drinking with bowls of wine, And anoint themselves [with] chief perfumes, And have not been pained for the breach of Joseph.
7 Zato æe sada otiæi u ropstvo meðu prvima koji æe otiæi u ropstvo, i prestaæe radost onijeh koji se goste.
Therefore they now go at the head of the captives, And the mourning-feast of stretched-out ones is turned aside.
8 Zakle se Gospod Gospod sobom, govori Gospod Bog nad vojskama: ja se gadim na ponos Jakovljev i mrzim na dvorove njegove; zato æu predati grad i sve što je u njemu.
Lord YHWH has sworn by Himself, A declaration of YHWH, God of Hosts: “I am abominating the excellence of Jacob, And his high places I have hated, And I have delivered up the city and its fullness.”
9 I ako deset ljudi ostane u jednoj kuæi, umrijeæe.
And if there are left ten persons in one house, It has come to pass—that they have died.
10 I kad uzme koga stric mu ili koji æe ga spaliti da iznese kosti njegove iz kuæe, reæi æe onome koji bude u kutu u kuæi: ima li jošte ko kod tebe? A on æe reæi: nema nikoga. A on æe reæi: muèi; jer ne pominjaše imena Gospodnjega.
And his loved one has lifted him up, even his burner, To bring forth the bones from the house, And he said to him who [is] in the sides of the house, “Is there [any] yet with you?” And he said, “None,” Then he said, “Hush! We must not make mention of the Name of YHWH.”
11 Jer evo, Gospod zapovijeda i udariæe dom veliki da se razvali i mali dom da popuca.
For behold, YHWH is commanding, And He has struck the great house [with] breaches, And the little house [with] clefts.
12 Trèe li konji po stijeni i ore li se volovima? jer vi pretvoriste sud u žuè, i plod od pravde u pelen.
Do horses run on a rock? Does one plow [it] with oxen? For you have turned judgment to gall, And the fruit of righteousness to wormwood.
13 Vi se radujete onome što nije ništa, i govorite: nijesmo li svojom snagom dobili rogove?
O you who are rejoicing at nothing, Who are saying, “Have we not taken to ourselves horns by our strength?”
14 Jer, gle, ja æu podignuti na vas, dome Izrailjev, govori Gospod Bog nad vojskama, narod, koji æe vas pritijesniti od ulaska u Emat do potoka u pustinji.
“Surely, behold, I am raising a nation against you, O house of Israel,” A declaration of YHWH, God of Hosts, “And they have oppressed you from the coming in to Hamath, To the stream of the desert.”
