Книга пророка Амоса 6
1 Люте уничижающым Сиона и уповающым на гору Самарийскую: оымаша начатки языков, и внидоша к ним дом Израилев.
Woe to those who are at ease in Zion, and to those who are secure in the hill country of Samaria, the notable men of the best of the nations, to whom the house of Israel comes 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?
Your leaders say, “Go to Kalneh and look; from there go to Hamath, the great city; then go down to Gath of the Philistines. Are they better than your two kingdoms? Is their border larger than your border?”
3 Приходящии в день зол, приближающиися и прикасающиися субботам лживым,
Woe to those who put off the day of disaster and make the throne of violence come near.
4 спящии на одрех от костей слоновых и ласкосердствующии на постелех своих, ядущии козлища от паств и телцы млеком питаемы от среды стад:
They lie on beds of ivory and lounge on their couches. They eat lambs from the flock and calves from the stall.
5 плещущии ко гласу пищалей, аки стояща мнеша, а не яко бежаща:
They sing foolish songs to the music of the harp; they improvise on instruments as David did.
6 пиющии процеженое вино и первыми вонями мажущиися, и не страдаху ничесоже в сокрушении Иосифове.
They drink wine from bowls and anoint themselves with the finest oils, but they do not grieve over the ruin of Joseph.
7 Сего ради ныне пленницы будут от начала сильных, и отимется ржание конско от Ефрема.
So they will now go into exile with the first exiles, and the feasts of those who lounge about will pass away.
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.
“I, the Lord Yahweh, have sworn by myself —this is the declaration of the Lord Yahweh, the God of hosts, I detest the pride of Jacob; I hate his fortresses. Therefore I will deliver up the city with all that is in it.”
9 И будет, аще останутся десять мужей во единем дому, умрут, и останутся остаточнии:
It will come about that if there are ten men left in one house, they will all 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.
When a man's relative comes to take their bodies up—the one who is to cremate them after bringing the corpses out of the house—if he says to the person in the house, “Is there anyone with you?” What if that person says, “No.” Then he will say, “Be quiet, for we must not mention Yahweh's name.”
11 Понеже, се, Господь заповедает и побиет дом великий толчением и дом малый разседением.
For, look, Yahweh will give a command, and the big house will be smashed to pieces, and the little house to bits.
12 Аще поженут в камениях кони? И аще умолкнут в женстем полу? Яко обратисте на гнев суд, и плод правды на горесть,
Do horses run on the rocky cliffs? Does one plow there with oxen? Yet you have turned justice into poison and the fruit of righteousness into bitterness.
13 веселящиися ни о единем слове блазе, глаголющии: не крепостию ли нашею имамы роги?
You who rejoice over Lo Debar, who say, “Have we not taken Karnaim by our own strength?”
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.
“But look, I will raise up against you a nation, house of Israel—this is the declaration of the Lord Yahweh, the God of hosts. They will afflict you from Lebo Hamath to the brook of the Arabah.”
