Amos 6
Ang Salita ng Dios (Tagalog Contemporary Bible)
Ang Kasamaan ng mga Pinuno ng Israel
6 Nakakaawa kayong mga pinuno ng Zion at Samaria na nagpapasarap sa buhay at walang pakialam. Itinuturing ninyo ang inyong mga sarili na mararangal na tao ng nangungunang bansa, at sa inyo lumalapit ang inyong mga mamamayan na nangangailangan. 2 Tingnan ninyo kung ano ang nangyari sa lungsod ng Calne, ang malaking lungsod ng Hamat, at ang lungsod ng Gat sa Filistia. Mas makapangyarihan ba kayo kaysa sa mga kahariang iyon? Mas malawak ba ang inyong lupain kaysa sa kanila?
3 Kawawa kayong nag-aakala na hindi darating sa inyo ang araw ng pagpaparusa. Dahil sa ginagawa ninyong kasamaan, lalo ninyong pinadadali ang araw na iyon na maghahari ang karahasan.
4 Kawawa kayong mga pahiga-higa lang sa inyong mga mamahaling kama[a] at nagpapakabusog sa masasarap na pagkaing karne ng batang tupa at ng pinatabang guya.
5 Kawawa kayong mga kumakatha ng mga awit habang tumutugtog ng alpa at mahilig tumugtog ng mga tugtugin katulad ni David.
6 Kawawa kayong malalakas uminom ng alak at gumagamit ng mamahaling pabango, pero hindi nagdadalamhati sa sasapiting pagbagsak ng inyong bansa.[b] 7 Kaya kayong mga pinuno ang unang bibihagin at matitigil na ang inyong mga pagpipista at pagwawalang-bahala.
Kinamumuhian ng Panginoon ang Pagmamataas ng Israel
8 Sumumpa ang Panginoong Dios, ang Dios na Makapangyarihan. Sinabi niya, “Kinamumuhian ko ang pagmamataas ng mga lahi ni Jacob, at kinasusuklaman ang matitibay na bahagi ng kanilang lungsod. Kaya ipapasakop ko sa kaaway ang kanilang lungsod at ang lahat ng naroroon.”
9 Kung may sampung tao na matitira sa isang bahay, lahat sila ay mamamatay. 10 Ang bangkay ng namatay ay kukunin ng kanyang kamag-anak upang sunugin. Tatanungin niya ang nagtatago[c] sa kaloob-looban ng bahay, “May kasama ka pa riyan?”[d] Kapag sumagot siya ng wala, sasabihin ng nagtanong, “Tumahimik ka na! Baka mabanggit mo pa ang pangalan ng Panginoon at maparusahan tayo.” 11 Ang totoo, kapag ang Panginoon na ang nag-uutos, mawawasak ang lahat ng bahay, malaki man o maliit.
12 Makakatakbo ba ang kabayo sa batuhan? Makakapag-araro ba ang baka roon? Siyempre hindi! Pero binaliktad ninyo ang katarungan para mapahamak ang tao, at ang katarungan ay ginawa ninyong masama. 13 Tuwang-tuwa kayo nang nasakop ninyo ang mga bayan ng Lo Debar at Karnaim, at sinasabi ninyo, “Natalo natin sila sa pamamagitan ng sarili nating kalakasan.” 14 Pero ito ang sagot ng Panginoong Dios na Makapangyarihan, “Kayong mga mamamayan ng Israel ay ipasasalakay ko sa isang bansa. Pahihirapan nila kayo at sasakupin ang inyong lugar mula Lebo Hamat hanggang sa lambak ng Araba.”

Amos 6
GOD’S WORD Translation
The Fall of Samaria
6 How horrible it will be for those who are at ease in Zion,
for those who feel secure on the mountain of Samaria,
and for the heads of the leading nations,
to whom the nation of Israel comes.
2 Go to Calneh and look.
Go from there to the great city of Hamath.
Then go to Gath, the city of the Philistines.
Are you better than these kingdoms?
Is their territory larger than yours?
3 How horrible it will be for those who think that a day of disaster is far away.
They bring the reign of violence closer.
4 How horrible it will be for those who sleep on ivory beds.
They sprawl out on their couches
and eat lambs from their flocks and calves from their stalls.
5 How horrible it will be for those who make up songs as they strum a harp.
Like David, they write all kinds of songs for themselves.
6 How horrible it will be for those who drink wine by the jugful.
They rub the finest oils all over themselves
and are not sorry for the ruin ⌞of the descendants⌟ of Joseph.
7 That is why they will now be the first to go into exile.
The celebrating of those sprawled around the banquet table will stop.
8 The Almighty Lord has sworn an oath on himself.
The Lord God of Armies declares:
I am disgusted with Jacob’s pride,
and I hate his palaces.
So I will hand over the city and everything in it.
9 If ten people are left in one house, they will die.
10 If a relative or a mortician
comes to take the dead bodies out of the house
and asks someone who is inside the house,
“Is there anyone else with you?”
that person will answer, “No.”
“Hush,” he will add. “We shouldn’t mention the name of the Lord!”
11 The Lord is going to give the command
to level big houses and flatten little houses.
12 Do horses run on rocks?
Does a farmer plow the sea with oxen?
Yet, you have turned justice into something deadly
and what is righteous into poison.
13 How horrible it will be for those who rejoice over Lo Debar
and who say, “We were strong enough to capture Karnaim by ourselves.”
14 I am going to lead a nation to attack you, nation of Israel,
declares the Lord God of the Armies of the Nations.
They will oppress you from the border of Hamath to the valley of Arabah.
Amos 6
New International Version
Woe to the Complacent
6 Woe to you(A) who are complacent(B) in Zion,
and to you who feel secure(C) on Mount Samaria,(D)
you notable men of the foremost nation,
to whom the people of Israel come!(E)
2 Go to Kalneh(F) and look at it;
go from there to great Hamath,(G)
and then go down to Gath(H) in Philistia.
Are they better off than(I) your two kingdoms?
Is their land larger than yours?
3 You put off the day of disaster
and bring near a reign of terror.(J)
4 You lie on beds adorned with ivory
and lounge on your couches.(K)
You dine on choice lambs
and fattened calves.(L)
5 You strum away on your harps(M) like David
and improvise on musical instruments.(N)
6 You drink wine(O) by the bowlful
and use the finest lotions,
but you do not grieve(P) over the ruin of Joseph.(Q)
7 Therefore you will be among the first to go into exile;(R)
your feasting and lounging will end.(S)
The Lord Abhors the Pride of Israel
8 The Sovereign Lord has sworn by himself(T)—the Lord God Almighty declares:
“I abhor(U) the pride of Jacob(V)
and detest his fortresses;(W)
I will deliver up(X) the city
and everything in it.(Y)”
9 If ten(Z) people are left in one house, they too will die. 10 And if the relative who comes to carry the bodies out of the house to burn them[a](AA) asks anyone who might be hiding there, “Is anyone else with you?” and he says, “No,” then he will go on to say, “Hush!(AB) We must not mention the name of the Lord.”
11 For the Lord has given the command,
and he will smash(AC) the great house(AD) into pieces
and the small house into bits.(AE)
