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 secure in Zion, And those confident in the mount of Samaria, The marked of the chief of the nations, And come to them have the house of Israel.
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?
Pass ye over [to] Calneh and see, And go thence [to] Hamath the great, And go down [to] Gath of the Philistines, Are [they] better than these kingdoms? Greater [is] their border than your border?
3 Приходящии в день зол, приближающиися и прикасающиися субботам лживым,
Who are putting away the day of evil, And ye bring nigh the seat of violence,
4 спящии на одрех от костей слоновых и ласкосердствующии на постелех своих, ядущии козлища от паств и телцы млеком питаемы от среды стад:
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 плещущии ко гласу пищалей, аки стояща мнеша, а не яко бежаща:
Who are taking part according to the psaltery, Like David they invented for themselves instruments of music;
6 пиющии процеженое вино и первыми вонями мажущиися, и не страдаху ничесоже в сокрушении Иосифове.
Who are drinking with bowls of wine, And [with] chief perfumes anoint [themselves], And have not been pained for the breach of Joseph.
7 Сего ради ныне пленницы будут от начала сильных, и отимется ржание конско от Ефрема.
Therefore now they remove at the head of the captives, And turned aside is the mourning-feast of stretched-out ones.
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.
Sworn hath the Lord Jehovah by Himself, An affirmation of Jehovah, God of Hosts: I am abominating the excellency of Jacob, And his high places I have hated, And I have delivered up the city and its fulness.
9 И будет, аще останутся десять мужей во единем дому, умрут, и останутся остаточнии:
And if there are left ten persons in one house, It hath come to pass — that they have died.
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 lifted him up hath his loved one, 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 yet with thee?' And he said, 'None,' then he said, 'Hush! Save to make mention of the name of Jehovah.'
11 Понеже, се, Господь заповедает и побиет дом великий толчением и дом малый разседением.
For lo, Jehovah is commanding, And He hath smitten the great house [with] breaches, And the little house [with] clefts.
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 a rock? Doth one plough [it] with oxen? For ye have turned to gall judgment, And the fruit of righteousness to wormwood.
13 веселящиися ни о единем слове блазе, глаголющии: не крепостию ли нашею имамы роги?
O ye who are rejoicing at nothing, Who are saying, 'Have we not by our strength taken to ourselves horns?'
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.
Surely, lo, I am raising against you a nation, O house of Israel, An affirmation of Jehovah, God of Hosts, And they have oppressed you from the coming in to Hamath, Unto the stream of the desert.
