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 that are wealthy in Sion, and to you that have confidence in the mountain of Samaria: ye great men, heads of the people, that go in with state 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?
Pass ye over to Chalane, and see, and go from thence into Emath the great: and go down into Geth of the Philistines, and to all the best kingdoms of these: if their border be larger than your border.
3 Vi, ki zli dan polagate daleč stran in sedežu nasilja naredite, da pride blizu,
You that are separated unto the evil day: and that approach to 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 that sleep upon beds of ivory, and are wanton on your couches: that eat the lambs out of the flock, and the calves out of the midst of the herd;
5 ki monotono pojete na zvok lire in si izmišljate glasbene instrumente, podobno kakor David;
You that sing to the sound of the psaltery: they have thought themselves to have instruments of music like David;
6 ki pijete vino v skledicah in se mazilite z vodilnimi mazili. Toda niso užaloščeni zaradi Jožefove stiske.
That drink wine in bowls, and anoint themselves with the best ointments: and they are not concerned for the affliction of Joseph.
7 Zato bodo sedaj šli ujeti s prvimi, ki gredo ujeti in gostija tistih, ki so se iztegovali, bo odstranjena.
Wherefore now they shall go captive at the head of them that go into captivity: and the faction of the luxurious ones shall be taken away.
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 hath sworn by his own soul, saith the Lord the God of hosts: I detest the pride of Jacob, and I hate his houses, and I will deliver up the city with the inhabitants thereof.
9 In zgodilo se bo, če tam ostane deset ljudi v eni hiši, da bodo umrli.
And if there remain ten men in one house, they also shall 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 a man’s kinsman shall take him up, and shall burn him, that he may carry the bones out of the house; and he shall say to him that is in the inner rooms of the house: Is there yet any with thee? And he shall answer: There is an end. And he shall any to him: Hold thy peace, and mention not 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 hath commanded, and he will strike the greater house with breaches, and the lesser house with clefts.
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 run upon the rocks, or can any one plough with buffles? 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 that rejoice in a thing of nought: you that say: Have we not taken unto us horns by our own strength?
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.«
But behold, I will raise up a nation against you, O house of Israel, saith the Lord the God of hosts; and they shall destroy you from the entrance of Emath, even to the torrent of the desert.
