Amos 6
New King James Version
Warnings to Zion and Samaria
6 Woe (A)to you who are at (B)ease in Zion,
And (C)trust in Mount Samaria,
Notable persons in the (D)chief nation,
To whom the house of Israel comes!
2 (E)Go over to (F)Calneh and see;
And from there go to (G)Hamath the great;
Then go down to Gath of the Philistines.
(H)Are you better than these kingdoms?
Or is their territory greater than your territory?
3 Woe to you who (I)put far off the day of (J)doom,
(K)Who cause (L)the seat of violence to come near;
4 Who lie on beds of ivory,
Stretch out on your couches,
Eat lambs from the flock
And calves from the midst of the stall;
5 (M)Who sing idly to the sound of stringed instruments,
And invent for yourselves (N)musical instruments (O)like David;
6 Who (P)drink wine from bowls,
And anoint yourselves with the best ointments,
(Q)But are not grieved for the affliction of Joseph.
7 Therefore they shall now go (R)captive as the first of the captives,
And those who recline at banquets shall be removed.
8 (S)The Lord God has sworn by Himself,
The Lord God of hosts says:
“I abhor (T)the pride of Jacob,
And hate his palaces;
Therefore I will deliver up the city
And all that is in it.”
9 Then it shall come to pass, that if ten men remain in one house, they shall die. 10 And when [a]a relative of the dead, with one who will burn the bodies, picks up the [b]bodies to take them out of the house, he will say to one inside the house, “Are there any more with you?”
Then someone will say, “None.”
And he will say, (U)“Hold your tongue! (V)For we dare not mention the name of the Lord.”
11 For behold, (W)the Lord gives a command:
(X)He will break the great house into bits,
And the little house into pieces.
12 Do horses run on rocks?
Does one plow there with oxen?
Yet (Y)you have turned justice into gall,
And the fruit of righteousness into wormwood,
13 You who rejoice over [c]Lo Debar,
Who say, “Have we not taken [d]Karnaim for ourselves
By our own strength?”
Amos 6
King James Version
6 Woe to them that are at ease in Zion, and trust in the mountain of Samaria, which are named chief of the nations, to whom the house of Israel came!
2 Pass ye unto Calneh, and see; and from thence go ye to Hamath the great: then go down to Gath of the Philistines: be they better than these kingdoms? or their border greater than your border?
3 Ye that put far away the evil day, and cause the seat of violence to come near;
4 That lie upon beds of ivory, and stretch themselves upon their couches, and eat the lambs out of the flock, and the calves out of the midst of the stall;
5 That chant to the sound of the viol, and invent to themselves instruments of musick, like David;
6 That drink wine in bowls, and anoint themselves with the chief ointments: but they are not grieved for the affliction of Joseph.
7 Therefore now shall they go captive with the first that go captive, and the banquet of them that stretched themselves shall be removed.
8 The Lord God hath sworn by himself, saith the Lord the God of hosts, I abhor the excellency of Jacob, and hate his palaces: therefore will I deliver up the city with all that is therein.
9 And it shall come to pass, if there remain ten men in one house, that they shall die.
10 And a man's uncle shall take him up, and he that burneth him, to bring out the bones out of the house, and shall say unto him that is by the sides of the house, Is there yet any with thee? and he shall say, No. Then shall he say, Hold thy tongue: for we may not make mention of the name of the Lord.
11 For, behold, the Lord commandeth, and he will smite the great house with breaches, and the little house with clefts.
12 Shall horses run upon the rock? will one plow there with oxen? for ye have turned judgment into gall, and the fruit of righteousness into hemlock:
13 Ye which rejoice in a thing of nought, which say, Have we not taken to us horns by our own strength?
14 But, behold, I will raise up against you a nation, O house of Israel, saith the Lord the God of hosts; and they shall afflict you from the entering in of Hemath unto the river of the wilderness.
Amós 6
Nueva Versión Internacional (Castilian)
6 ¡Ay de los que viven tranquilos en Sión
y de los que viven confiados en el monte de Samaria!
¡Ay de los notables de la nación más importante,
a quienes acude el pueblo de Israel!
2 Pasad a Calné y observadla;
id de allí a Jamat la grande,
bajad luego a Gat de los filisteos.
¿Acaso sois vosotros superiores a estos reinos,
o es más grande su territorio que el vuestro?
3 Vosotros creéis alejar el día de la desgracia,
pero estáis acercando el imperio de la violencia.
4 Vosotros que os acostáis en camas incrustadas de marfil
y os arrellanáis en divanes;
que coméis corderos selectos
y terneros engordados;
5 que, a la manera de David,
improvisáis canciones al son de la cítara
e inventáis instrumentos musicales;
6 que bebéis vino en tazones
y os perfumáis con las esencias más finas
sin afligiros por la ruina de José,
7 marcharéis a la cabeza de los desterrados,
y así terminará el banquete de los holgazanes.
8 El Señor omnipotente jura por sí mismo;
esto afirma el Señor Dios Todopoderoso:
«Yo detesto la arrogancia de Jacob;
yo aborrezco sus fortalezas;
por eso entregaré la ciudad al enemigo,
con todo lo que hay en ella».
9 Sucederá que, si en una casa quedan diez hombres con vida, todos morirán. 10 Y, cuando vengan a la casa para levantar los cadáveres y quemarlos, algún pariente le preguntará a otro que ande en la casa: «¿Queda alguien más contigo?» Y aquel le responderá: «No». Entonces le dirá: «¡Cállate! No vayamos a mencionar el nombre del Señor».
11 Mira, el Señor da la orden
de golpear la casa grande hasta hacerla añicos
y de hacer trizas la casa pequeña.
12 ¿Acaso galopan los caballos por las rocas
o se ara en estas con bueyes?
Pero vosotros habéis convertido el derecho en veneno,
y en amargura el fruto de la justicia.
13 Vosotros os regocijáis por la conquista de Lo Debar[a]
y agregáis: «¿No fue con nuestras propias fuerzas
como nos apoderamos de Carnayin?»[b]
14 «Por tanto, pueblo de Israel,
voy a levantar contra ti una nación
que te oprimirá desde Lebó Jamat[c]
hasta el torrente del Arabá»,
afirma el Señor, el Dios Todopoderoso.
