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 who are at ease in Zion, and to those who are secure on the mountain of Samaria, the notable men of the chief of the nations, to whom the house of Israel come!
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?
Go to Calneh, and see. From there go to Hamath the great. Then 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;
Alas for you who put far away the evil day, and cause the seat of violence to come near,
4 Koji liježete na odrima od slonove kosti i pružate se na posteljama svojim, i jedete jaganjce iz stada i teoce ugojene;
who lie on beds of ivory, and stretch themselves on their couches, and eat the lambs out of the flock, and the calves out of the middle of the stall,
5 Koji pjevate uza psaltire, i izmišljate sprave muzièke kao David;
who strum on the strings of a harp, who invent for themselves instruments of music, like David;
6 Koji pijete vino velikim èašama, i mažete se skupocjenijem mirisima, a ne marite za polom Josifov.
who drink wine in bowls, and anoint themselves with the best oils, but they are not grieved for the affliction 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 will now go captive with the first who go captive. The feasting and lounging will end.
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.
“The Lord GOD has sworn by himself,” says the LORD, the God of Armies: “I abhor the pride of Jacob, and detest his fortresses. Therefore I will deliver up the city with all that is in it.
9 I ako deset ljudi ostane u jednoj kuæi, umrijeæe.
It will happen that if ten men remain in one house, they will 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.
“When a man’s relative carries him, even he who burns him, to bring bodies out of the house, and asks him who is in the innermost parts of the house, ‘Is there yet any with you?’ And he says, ‘No;’ then he will say, ‘Hush! Indeed we must not mention the LORD’s name.’
11 Jer evo, Gospod zapovijeda i udariæe dom veliki da se razvali i mali dom da popuca.
“For, behold, the LORD commands, and the great house will be smashed to pieces, and the little house into bits.
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 the rocky crags? Does one plow there with oxen? But you have turned justice into poison, and the fruit of righteousness into bitterness,
13 Vi se radujete onome što nije ništa, i govorite: nijesmo li svojom snagom dobili rogove?
you who rejoice in a thing of nothing, who say, ‘Haven’t we taken for ourselves horns by our own 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.
For, behold, I will raise up against you a nation, house of Israel,” says the LORD, the God of Armies; “and they will afflict you from the entrance of Hamath to the brook of the Arabah.”
