Amos 6
1 »Gorje tistim, ki so v udobju na Sionu in zaupajo v samarijsko goro, ki se imenujejo vodje narodov, h katerim je prihajala Izraelova hiša!
Woe to you who have been wealthy in Zion, and to you who have confidence in the mountain of Samaria: aristocrats, heads of the people, who advance with a retinue into the house of Israel.
2 Prečkajte v Kalne in poglejte in od tam pojdite v veliki Hamát. Potem pojdite dol v Gat Filistejcev. Mar so boljši kakor ta kraljestva? Je njihova meja večja kakor vaša meja?
Cross over to Calneh and see, and go from there into Hamath the great, and descend into Gath of the Philistines, and to the best kingdoms of these, if their limits are wider than your limits.
3 Vi, ki zli dan polagate daleč stran in sedežu nasilja naredite, da pride blizu,
You have been set aside for the day of disaster, and you approach the throne of iniquity.
4 ki ležite na posteljah iz slonovine in se iztegujete na svojih ležiščih in jeste jagnjeta iz tropa in teleta iz srede hleva,
You sleep on beds of ivory, and you are lustful on your couches. You devour lambs from the flock and calves from the midst of the herd.
5 ki monotono pojete na zvok lire in si izmišljate glasbene instrumente, podobno kakor David;
You sing to the sound of stringed instruments; they consider themselves to have the musical abilities of David.
6 ki pijete vino v skledicah in se mazilite z vodilnimi mazili. Toda niso užaloščeni zaradi Jožefove stiske.
You drink wine in bowls, and you anoint with the best ointments; and they suffer nothing over the grief of Joseph.
7 Zato bodo sedaj šli ujeti s prvimi, ki gredo ujeti in gostija tistih, ki so se iztegovali, bo odstranjena.
Because of this, now they will depart at the head of those who go into captivity; and the faction of the lustful will be removed.
8 Gospod Bog je prisegel pri samem sebi, « govori Gospod, Bog nad bojevniki, »preziram odličnost Jakoba in sovražim njegove palače, zato bom izročil mesto, z vsem, kar je v njem.
The Lord God has sworn by his own soul, the Lord God of hosts says: I detest the arrogance of Jacob, and I hate his houses, and I will hand over the city with its inhabitants.
9 In zgodilo se bo, če tam ostane deset ljudi v eni hiši, da bodo umrli.
For if there were ten men remaining in one house, even they will die.
10 In njegov stric ga bo vzdignil in tisti, ki ga sežiga, da odnese kosti iz hiše in rekel bo tistemu, ki je pri straneh hiše: › Je tam še kdo s teboj?‹ Ta pa bo rekel: ›Ne.‹ Potem bo rekel: ›Molči, kajti ne smemo omenjati Gospodovega imena.‹
And his closest relative will steal him away and will burn him, so that he may carry the bones out of the house. And he will say to him that is in the inner most rooms of the house, “Now is there any left that still belongs to you?” And he will answer, “It is finished.” And he will say to him, “Be silent and do not call to mind the name of the Lord.”
11 Kajti glej, Gospod zapoveduje in veliko hišo bo udaril z vrzelmi in majhno hišo z razpokami.
For behold, the Lord has commanded, and he will strike the greater house with catastrophes, and the lesser house with divisions.
12 Mar bodo konji tekli po skali? Ali bo tam kdo oral z voli? Kajti sodbo ste obrnili v žolč in sad pravičnosti v pikasti mišjak.
Can horses gallop across rocks, or is anyone able to plough with gazelles? For you have turned judgment into bitterness and the fruit of justice into wormwood.
13 Vi, ki se veselite v ničevi stvari, ki pravite: ›Mar nismo s svojo lastno močjo k sebi vzeli rogov?‹
You rejoice in emptiness. You say, “Have we not, by our own strength, taken horns for ourselves?”
14 Toda glejte, zoper vas bom dvignil narod, oh Izraelova hiša, « govori Gospod, Bog nad bojevniki, »in stiskali vas bodo od vstopanja v Hamát, do reke iz divjine.«
For behold, house of Israel, I will raise up a people over you, says the Lord God of hosts, and they will crush you from the entrance of Hamath all the way to the burning of the desert.
