Книга пророка Амоса 6
1 Люте уничижающым Сиона и уповающым на гору Самарийскую: оымаша начатки языков, и внидоша к ним дом Израилев.
How disastrous it will be for you who have an easy life in Zion, and you who feel secure living on Mount Samaria—you who are the most famous men in all of Israel to whom people come for help!
2 Мимоидите Халану вси и видите, и прейдите оттуду во Емаф великий и снидите оттуду в Геф иноплеменников, крепчайшыя от всех царств сих, аще болши суть пределы их предел ваших?
But go to Calneh, and see what took place there. Then go on to the great city of Hamath, and down to the Philistine city of Gath. Were they better kingdoms than yours? Did they have more territory than you?
3 Приходящии в день зол, приближающиися и прикасающиися субботам лживым,
You put out of your minds any thought of coming disaster, yet you are bringing closer the time when violence reigns.
4 спящии на одрех от костей слоновых и ласкосердствующии на постелех своих, ядущии козлища от паств и телцы млеком питаемы от среды стад:
How disastrous it will be for you people who lie on beds decorated with ivory and lounge on couches, eating lamb from your flocks and fattened calves from the stall.
5 плещущии ко гласу пищалей, аки стояща мнеша, а не яко бежаща:
You make up songs accompanied by the harp, thinking you're great composers like David.
6 пиющии процеженое вино и первыми вонями мажущиися, и не страдаху ничесоже в сокрушении Иосифове.
You drink wine by the bowlful, and anoint yourselves with the finest oils, but you do not grieve over the ruin of Joseph's descendants.
7 Сего ради ныне пленницы будут от начала сильных, и отимется ржание конско от Ефрема.
So you will be at the head of those led away into exile; the feasting and lazing around will be over.
8 Яко клятся Господь Собою, глаголет Господь Бог Сил: понеже гнушаюся аз всею укоризною Иакова и села его возненавидех, и отвергу град со всеми живущими в нем.
The Lord God has sworn an oath on his own life. This is what the Lord God of power declares: I detest Jacob's arrogance and I hate his fortresses; I will hand over this city and all in it to the enemy.
9 И будет, аще останутся десять мужей во единем дому, умрут, и останутся остаточнии:
If there are ten people in a house, they will die.
10 и возмут свои их, и понудятся изнести кости их из дому. И речет настоятелем дому: еще ли есть у тебе? И речет: несть еще. И речет: молчи, не именования ради имене Господня.
And when a relative comes to take away the bodies from the house, he will ask someone inside “Is there anyone else with you?” The person will reply, “No...” Then the other will say, “Quiet! Don't even mention the Lord's name.”
11 Понеже, се, Господь заповедает и побиет дом великий толчением и дом малый разседением.
Watch out! When the Lord gives the command, large houses will be reduced to rubble, and small houses smashed to pieces.
12 Аще поженут в камениях кони? И аще умолкнут в женстем полу? Яко обратисте на гнев суд, и плод правды на горесть,
Can horses gallop over rocks? Can oxen plow the sea? But you have turned justice into poison, and the fruit of doing good into bitterness!
13 веселящиися ни о единем слове блазе, глаголющии: не крепостию ли нашею имамы роги?
You joyfully celebrate your conquest of Lodebar, and say “Didn't we in our own strength capture Karnaim?”
14 Темже, се, Аз воздвигну на вы, доме Израилев, язык, глаголет Господь Бог Сил, и сокрушат вас еже не внити во Емаф и до водотечи западов.
Watch out, people of Israel! I am going to send an enemy nation to attack you, says the Lord God of power, and they will oppress you from the Pass of Hamath to the Arabah Valley.
