Amos 6

¹Vay Siyon'u hiçe sayanların ve Samiriye Dağı'na güvenenlerin haline! Onlar ulusların ilk meyvelerini topladılar ve kendileri girdiler, ey İsrail evi!

²Hepiniz geçip görün, oradan Ematrabba'ya gidin ve oradan yabancıların Gat kentine inin; acaba bu krallıkların hepsinden daha güçlü olanlar onlar mıdır, yoksa onların sınırları sizin sınırlarınızdan daha mı geniştir?

³Ey kötü günü yakınlaştıranlar, sahte şabatlara yaklaşanlar ve onlara sarılanlar!

⁴Fildişi yataklarda uyuyanlar, döşeklerinde sefahat sürenler, sürülerden seçilmiş oğlakları ve sığır sürülerinin ortasından süt emen buzağıları yiyenler!

⁵Çalgıların sesine tempo tutanlar, bunları geçici değil, kalıcı şeyler sananlar!

⁶Süzülmüş şarap içenler, en seçkin yağlarla sürünenler, ama Yusuf'un yıkımına karşı hiçbir acı duymayanlar!

⁷Bu yüzden şimdi önderlerin başında sürgüne gidecekler ve Efrayim'den atların kişnemesi kesilecek.

⁸Çünkü Rab kendi üzerine ant içti: "Yakup'un tüm kibrinden iğreniyorum, onun topraklarından nefret ettim; kenti ve içindeki tüm yaşayanları ortadan kaldıracağım."

⁹Ve öyle olacak ki, bir evde on adam geriye kalsa bile, onlar da ölecekler.

¹⁰Geriye kalanlar olacak, yakınları onları alıp kemiklerini evden çıkarmak için çabalayacaklar; evin yöneticilerine, "Yanında hâlâ kimse var mı?" diye soracaklar.

¹¹O da, "Kalmadı" diyecek. Öbürü de, "Sus! Rab'bin adını anmamak için" diyecek.

¹²Çünkü işte, Rab buyuruyor; büyük evi yıkıntılarla, küçük evi ise çatlaklarla vuracak.

¹³Atlar kayalıklarda koşar mı? Kısrakların yanında sessiz kalırlar mı? Oysa siz adaleti gazaba, doğruluğun meyvesini acılığa dönüştürdünüz.

¹⁴Hiçbir değeri olmayan boş şeylerle sevinenler, "Kendi gücümüzle boynuzlar edinmedik mi?" diyenler!

¹⁵"Çünkü işte, ey İsrail evi, size karşı bir ulus ayaklandıracağım" diyor Orduların Rabbi, "Ve onlar sizi Emat'a girmekten alıkoyacak şekilde, batı deresine kadar sıkıştıracaklar."

¹ΟΥΑΙ τοῖς ἐξουθενοῦσι Σιὼν καὶ τοῖς πεποιθόσιν ἐπὶ τὸ ὄρος Σαμαρείας· ἀπετρύγησαν ἀρχὰς ἐθνῶν, καὶ εἰσῆλθον αὐτοί. οἶκος τοῦ ᾿Ισραήλ,

²διάβητε πάντες καὶ ἴδετε καὶ διέλθατε ἐκεῖθεν εἰς ᾿Εμαθραββὰ καὶ κατάβητε ἐκεῖθεν εἰς Γὲθ ἀλλοφύλων, τὰς κρατίστας ἐκ πασῶν τῶν βασιλειῶν τούτων, εἰ πλείονα τὰ ὅρια αὐτῶν ἐστι τῶν ὑμετέρων ὁρίων.

³οἱ ἐρχόμενοι εἰς ἡμέραν κακήν, οἱ ἐγγίζοντες καὶ ἐφαπτόμενοι σαββάτων ψευδῶν,

⁴οἱ καθεύδοντες ἐπὶ κλινῶν ἐλεφαντίνων καὶ κατασπαταλῶντες ἐπὶ ταῖς στρωμναῖς αὐτῶν καὶ ἔσθοντες ἐρίφους ἐκ ποιμνίων καὶ μοσχάρια ἐκ μέσου βουκολίων γαλαθηνά,

⁵οἱ ἐπικροτοῦντες πρὸς τὴν φωνὴν τῶν ὀργάνων, ὡς ἑστηκότα ἐλογίσαντο καὶ οὐχ ὡς φεύγοντα·

⁶οἱ πίνοντες τὸν διυλισμένον οἶνον καὶ τὰ πρῶτα μῦρα χριόμενοι καὶ οὐκ ἔπασχον οὐδὲν ἐπὶ τῇ συντριβῇ ᾿Ιωσήφ.

⁷διὰ τοῦτο νῦν ἀχμάλωτοι ἔσονται ἀπ᾿ ἀρχῆς δυναστῶν καὶ ἐξαρθήσεται χρεμετισμὸς ἵππων ἐξ ᾿Εφραίμ.

⁸ὅτι ὤμοσε Κύριος καθ᾿ ἑαυτοῦ· διότι βδελύσσομαι ἐγὼ πᾶσα τὴν ὕβριν ᾿Ιακὼβ καὶ τάς χώρας αὐτοῦ μεμίσηκα, καὶ ἐξαρῶ πόλιν σὺν πᾶσι τοῖς κατοικοῦσιν αὐτήν·

⁹καὶ ἔσται ἐὰν ὑπολειφθῶσι δέκα ἄνδρες ἐν οἰκίᾳ μιᾷ, καὶ ἀποθανοῦνται,

¹⁰καὶ ὑπολειφθήσονται οἱ κατάλοιποι, καὶ λήψονται οἱ οἰκεῖοι αὐτῶν καὶ παραβιῶνται τοῦ ἐξενέγκαι τὰ ὀστᾶ αὐτῶν ἐκ τοῦ οἴκου· καὶ ἐρεῖ τοῖς προεστηκόσι τῆς οἰκίας· εἰ ἔτι ὑπάρχει παρὰ σοί;

¹¹καὶ ἐρεῖ· οὐκέτι· καὶ ἐρεῖ· σίγα, ἕνεκα τοῦ μὴ ὀνομάσαι τὸ ὄνομα Κυρίου.

¹²διότι ἰδοὺ Κύριος ἐντέλλεται καὶ πατάξει τὸν οἶκον τὸν μέγαν θλάσμασι καὶ τὸν οἶκον τὸν μικρὸν ῥάγμασιν.

¹³εἰ διώξονται ἐν πέτραις ἵπποι; εἰ παρασιωπήσονται ἐν θηλείαις; ὅτι ἐξεστρέψατε εἰς θυμὸν κρίμα καὶ καρπὸν δικαιοσύνης εἰς πικρίαν,

¹⁴οἱ εὐφραινόμενοι ἐπ᾿ οὐδενὶ λόγῳ, οἱ λέγοντες· οὐκ ἐν τῇ ἰσχύϊ ἡμῶν ἔσχομεν κέρατα;

¹⁵διότι ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ ἐπεγερῶ ἐφ᾿ ὑμᾶς, οἶκος ᾿Ισραήλ, ἔθνος, λέγει Κύριος τῶν δυνάμεων, καὶ ἐκθλίψουσιν ὑμᾶς τοῦ μὴ εἰσελθεῖν εἰς ᾿Εμὰθ καὶ ὡς τοῦ χειμάρρου τῶν δυσμῶν.

¹Woe to them that set at nought Sion, and that trust in the mountain of Samaria: they have gathered [the harvest of] the heads of the nations, and they have gone in themselves.

²O house of Israel, pass by all [of you], and see; and pass by thence to Ematrabba; and thence descend to Geth of the Philistines, the chief of all these kingdoms, [see] if their coasts are greater than your coasts.

³Ye who are approaching the evil day, who are drawing near and adopting false sabbaths;

⁴who sleep upon beds of ivory, and live delicately on their couches, and eat kids out of the flocks, and sucking calves out of the midst of the stalls;

⁵who excel in the sound of musical instruments; they have regarded them as abiding, not as fleeting [pleasures];

⁶who drink strained wine, and anoint themselves with the best ointment; and have suffered nothing on occasion of the calamity of Joseph.

⁷Therefore now shall they depart into captivity from the dominion of princes, and the neighing of horses shall be cut off from Ephraim.

⁸For the Lord has sworn by himself, [saying], Because I abhor all the pride of Jacob, I do also hate his countries, and I will cut off [his] city with all who inhabit it.

⁹And it shall come to pass, if there be ten men left in one house, that they shall die.

¹⁰But a remnant shall be left behind, and their relations shall take them, and shall strenuously endeavor to carry forth their bones from the house: and one shall say to the heads of the house, Is there yet [any one] else with thee? And he shall say, No [one] else.

¹¹And [the other] shall say, Be silent, that thou name not the name of the Lord.

¹²For, behold, the Lord commands, and he will smite the great house with breaches, and the little house with rents.

¹³Will horses run upon rocks? will they refrain from neighing at mares? for ye have turned judgment into poison, and the fruit of righteousness into bitterness:

¹⁴ye who rejoice at vanity, who say, Have we not possessed horns by our own strength?

¹⁵For behold, O house of Israel, I will raise up against you a nation, saith the Lord of hosts; and they shall afflict you so that ye shall not enter into Aemath, and as it were [from] the river of the wilderness.
