6 katapi NEW STUDY BIBLE Passage Biblia Hebraica

6 1"Woe to those who are at ease in Zion,
and to those who feel secure on the mountain of Samaria,
the notable men of the first of the nations,
to whom the house of Israel come!
The destruction of Israel. Am.6.1-14הֹוי הַשַּׁאֲנַנִּים בְּצִיֹּון וְהַבֹּטְחִים בְּהַר שֹׁמְרֹון נְקֻבֵי רֵאשִׁית הַגֹּויִם וּבָאוּ לָהֶם בֵּית יִשְׂרָאֵל׃
2Pass over to Calneh, and see;
and thence go to Hamath the great;
then go down to Gath of the Philistines.
Are they better than these kingdoms?
Or is their territory greater than your territory,
 עִבְרוּ כַלְנֵה וּרְאוּ וּלְכוּ מִשָּׁם חֲמַת רַבָּה וּרְדוּ גַת־פְּלִשְׁתִּים הֲטֹובִים מִן־הַמַּמְלָכֹות הָאֵלֶּה אִם־רַב גְּבוּלָם מִגְּבֻלְכֶם׃
3O you who put far away the evil day,
and bring near the seat of violence?
 הַמְנַדִּים לְיֹום רָע וַתַּגִּישׁוּן שֶׁבֶת חָמָס׃
4"Woe to those who lie upon beds of ivory,
and stretch themselves upon their couches,
and eat lambs from the flock,
and calves from the midst of the stall;
 הַשֹּׁכְבִים עַל־מִטֹּות שֵׁן וּסְרֻחִים עַל־עַרְשֹׂותָם וְאֹכְלִים כָּרִים מִצֹּאן וַעֲגָלִים מִתֹּוךְ מַרְבֵּק׃
5who sing idle songs to the sound of the harp,
and like David invent for themselves instruments of music;
 הַפֹּרְטִים עַל־פִּי הַנָּבֶל כְּדָוִיד חָשְׁבוּ לָהֶם כְּלֵי־שִׁיר׃
6who drink wine in bowls,
and anoint themselves with the finest oils,
but are not grieved over the ruin of Joseph!
 הַשֹּׁתִים בְּמִזְרְקֵי יַיִן וְרֵאשִׁית שְׁמָנִים יִמְשָׁחוּ וְלֹא נֶחְלוּ עַל־שֵׁבֶר יֹוסֵף׃
7Therefore they shall now be the first of those to go into exile,
and the revelry of those who stretch themselves shall pass away."
 לָכֵן עַתָּה יִגְלוּ בְּרֹאשׁ גֹּלִים וְסָר מִרְזַח סְרוּחִים׃ ף
8The Yahweh GOD has sworn by himself
(says Yahweh, the God of hosts):
"I abhor the pride of Jacob,
and hate his strongholds;
and I will deliver up the city and all that is in it."
 נִשְׁבַּע אֲדֹנָי יְהוִה בְּנַפְשֹׁו נְאֻם־יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵי צְבָאֹות מְתָאֵב אָנֹכִי אֶת־גְּאֹון יַעֲקֹב וְאַרְמְנֹתָיו שָׂנֵאתִי וְהִסְגַּרְתִּי עִיר וּמְלֹאָהּ׃
9And if ten men remain in one house, they shall die. וְהָיָה אִם־יִוָּתְרוּ עֲשָׂרָה אֲנָשִׁים בְּבַיִת אֶחָד וָמֵתוּ׃
10And when a man's kinsman, he who burns him, shall take him up to bring the bones out of the house, and shall say to him who is in the innermost parts of the house, "Is there still any one with you?" he shall say, "No"; and he shall say, "Hush! We must not mention the name of Yahweh."  וּנְשָׂאֹו דֹּודֹו וּמְסָרְפֹו לְהֹוצִיא עֲצָמִים מִן־הַבַּיִת וְאָמַר לַאֲשֶׁר בְּיַרְכְּתֵי הַבַּיִת הַעֹוד עִמָּךְ וְאָמַר אָפֶס וְאָמַר הָס כִּי לֹא לְהַזְכִּיר בְּשֵׁם יְהוָה׃
11For behold, Yahweh commands,
and the great house shall be smitten into fragments,
and the little house into bits.
 כִּי־הִנֵּה יְהוָה מְצַוֶּה וְהִכָּה הַבַּיִת הַגָּדֹול רְסִיסִים וְהַבַּיִת הַקָּטֹן בְּקִעִים׃
12Do horses run upon rocks?
Does one plow the sea with oxen?
But you have turned justice into poison
and the fruit of righteousness into wormwood -
 הַיְרֻצוּן בַּסֶּלַע סוּסִים אִם־יַחֲרֹושׁ בַּבְּקָרִים כִּי־הֲפַכְתֶּם לְרֹאשׁ מִשְׁפָּט וּפְרִי צְדָקָה לְלַעֲנָה׃
13you who rejoice in Lo-debar,
who say, "Have we not by our own strength
taken Karnaim for ourselves?"
 הַשְּׂמֵחִים לְלֹא דָבָר הָאֹמְרִים הֲלֹוא בְחָזְקֵנוּ לָקַחְנוּ לָנוּ קַרְנָיִם׃
14"For behold, I will raise up against you a nation,
O house of Israel," says Yahweh, the God of hosts;
"and they shall oppress you from the entrance of Hamath
to the Brook of the Arabah."
 כִּי הִנְנִי מֵקִים עֲלֵיכֶם בֵּית יִשְׂרָאֵל נְאֻם־יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵי הַצְּבָאֹות גֹּוי וְלָחֲצוּ אֶתְכֶם מִלְּבֹוא חֲמָת עַד־נַחַל הָעֲרָבָה׃ ס

Notes: This page displays passages from the katapi NEW STUDY BIBLE.
The katapi NEW STUDY BIBLE is a very light revision of the RSV. The changes are: (1) In places where 'the LORD', 'O LORD' occurs in the RSV, (it represents the tetragrammaton - YHWH - which is in the hebrew text), I have used the name 'Yahweh'.
(2) I have removed the quotation marks and hyphens that were used in so many names in the RSV as an aid to correct pronunciation. This now brings it in line with all other English versions, and makes any word-search more accurate.
(3) I have changed all (I hope!) of the RSV archaic language sections to modern.

The katapi New Study Bible reference section displays links to parallel passages, and to direct quotations by New Testament authors to Old Testament passages. Quotations of OT passages by NT authors can in most cases be viewed within their context of the OT passage as a whole, with the quoted text displayed, against a subdued background.
