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.
Alas for the careless in Zion, and for them who put confidence in the mountain of Samaria, —the distinguished among the first group of nations, to whom came in the house of Israel.
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 ye over to Calneh, and see, and go on from thence to Hamath the great, —and go down to Gath of the Philistines, are they better than these kingdoms? or their boundary larger than your boundary?
3 Teško vama koji mislite da je daleko zli dan, a primièete stolicu na kojoj je nasilje;
Ye who are putting far away the day of calamity, —but bringing near the abode of violence:
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 on beds of ivory, and sprawling on their couch of pleasure, —and eating the well-fed of the flock, and the fatted calves out of the midst of the stalls:
5 Koji pjevate uza psaltire, i izmišljate sprave muzièke kao David;
Who are bawling at the bidding of the harp, —like David, have they invented for themselves instruments of song:
6 Koji pijete vino velikim èašama, i mažete se skupocjenijem mirisima, a ne marite za polom Josifov.
Who are quaffing bowls of wine, and, with the best of oils, anointing themselves, —and are not afflicted for the injury of Joseph: —
7 Zato æe sada otiæi u ropstvo meðu prvima koji æe otiæi u ropstvo, i prestaæe radost onijeh koji se goste.
Therefore, at once, shall they go into exile among the first of the exiles, —so shall be disturbed the revelry of sprawlers.
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.
Sworn hath the Lord, Yahweh, by his own life, Declareth Yahweh, God of hosts, abhorring am I, the grandeur of Jacob, and, his palaces, I hate, —therefore will I cast off the city and the fulness thereof.
9 I ako deset ljudi ostane u jednoj kuæi, umrijeæe.
And it shall come to pass, though there be left remaining ten men in one house, yet shall they die;
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 a man’s near of kin, even he who is about to burn the bones, shall carry him out of the house, when he shall say to him that is in the hinder parts of the house—Are there yet any with thee? and he shall say—No one. Then shall he say—Hush! for we must not invoke the name of Yahweh.
11 Jer evo, Gospod zapovijeda i udariæe dom veliki da se razvali i mali dom da popuca.
For lo! Yahweh, is giving command, and will smite the great house into ruins, —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.
Shall horses run upon crag? or will a man plough [there] with oxen? For ye have turned to poison the sentence of justice, and the fruit of righteousness, to wormwood:
13 Vi se radujete onome što nije ništa, i govorite: nijesmo li svojom snagom dobili rogove?
Who rejoice in a thing of nought, —who say, Have we not by our own strength, taken to ourselves horns?
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.
For behold me! raising up against you, O house of Israel, Declareth Yahweh, the God of hosts—a nation! And they shall crush you, from the entering in of Hamath, unto the torrent-bed of the waste plain.
