A:imose 3
1 Isala: ili dunu! Nabima! Dunu fi amo Ea Idibidi soge ganodini esalu amo lale guda: i. Goe sia: amo Hina Gode Ea dilia hou olelema: ne sia: i, amo nabima!
“You people of Israel, I brought all your ancestors out of Egypt; so listen to what I am saying about you.
2 Osobo bagade dunu fifilai huluane ganodini, Na da dilia fi amo fawane dawa: amola dili fawane ouligisa. Amaiba: le dilia wadela: i hou da bagadedafa ba: sa amola Na da dilima se dabe imunu amo yolesimu da hamedei. Bai eno fifilai dunu ilia ba: ma: ne.
From all the people-groups on the earth, I [chose and] took care of only you. That is the reason that I will punish you for the sins that you have committed.”
3 Ma dunu aduna da sogega ahoasea ela da sogebi amogai ela da gousa: mu amo hidadea hame ilegesala: ?
Two [people] certainly cannot [RHQ] walk together if they have not [already] agreed [about what place they will start walking from].
4 Be laione wa: me bagade ea da udigili hala halaia gegesabela: , ea ohe mae ba: le da? Abuliba: le da waha debe laione wa: me ea diasu ganodini, amomane ea ohe amo mima: bela: ?
A lion certainly does not [RHQ] roar in the bushes/forest if it has not killed another animal. It does not [RHQ] growl in its den if it is not eating [the flesh of an animal that it has caught].
5 Ma sio sani amo ganodini isu hame gasa: le legesea, sani ganodini diagoma da dasabela: ? Ma sani ganodini da dilisi amo da udigili fada: ne dabela: ?
No one can [RHQ] catch a bird if [he does] not [set] a trap for it. A trap does not spring shut unless some [animal] has not sprung the trap.
6 Gegesea dusu galamudi (dalabede) amo moilai bai bagade fi amo ganodini udigili dubi nabima: bela: ? Ma moilai bai bagade fi amogai ha: i o esoi doaga: sea da Hina Gode iaguda: iba: le fawane maha.
[Similarly, all] the people in a city certainly [RHQ] become afraid when [they hear someone] blowing a trumpet [to signal that enemies are attacking]. And when a city experiences disaster, Yahweh is the one who has caused it [RHQ].
7 Ouligisudafa Hina Gode Ea da liligi hamomusa: ilegesea, E da hidadea Ea hamomu liligi amo Ea hawa: hamosu dunu amo balofede dunu ilima olelesa.
And whatever Yahweh plans to do, he tells his prophets about it.
8 Be laione wa: me bagade ea hala halaia masea, nowa da hame beda: ma: bela: ? Amola Ouligisudafa Hina Gode Ea sia: sea da nowa da Ea sia: hame sisia: sala: ?
Everyone certainly becomes terrified [RHQ] when they hear a lion roar, and if Yahweh the Lord has given messages [to prophets like me], we certainly must [RHQ] proclaim those messages, [even if they cause people to become terrified].
9 Sia: goe Idibidi soge amola Asiedode soge hina bagade ilia diasulali amo ganodini dunu esalebe huluane ilima olelema, “Dilia huluane Samelia gafulu amodili gilisima. Bidi hamosu amola wadela: i hou ilia da amogawi hamonanebe amo ba: ma.
[I said this to the leaders of Samaria] (OR, [Yahweh said this to me]): Send this message to the leaders [MET] in Ashdod [city] and to Egypt: “Come to the hills of Samaria and see [the way that their (leaders/wealthy people)] are causing people in that city to be terrified, and [the way that they] are causing the people to suffer!”
10 Hina Gode da amane sia: sa, “Samelia dunu fi ilia da wadela: i hou bagade hamosu amola wamolasu hou amola gegesu hou. Ilia hou noga: idafa da afae agoane da hame hamosa, amola moloi dunu fi hame.
Yahweh says that the people there do not know how to do things that are right. Their homes are filled with [valuable things] that they have stolen or [taken] violently [from others].
11 Amaiba: le, ha lai dunu da ilia soge amo huluane sisiga: le dagole amola ilia gagoi amo mugulumu amola liligi huluane amo ganodini dialebe amo lidimu.”
So Yahweh [our] God says that [soon] their enemies will come and tear down their (defenses/high city walls) and take away those valuable things.
12 Hina Gode da amane sia: sa, “Laione wa: me bagade ea sibi afae fane nasea, amo ouligisu dunu da amo sibi ea emo aduna o ge afae fawane amo bu lidisa. Amaiba: le, amo defele, Samelia osobo dogone fi dunu wali da noga: le diaha, be fa: no bagahamedafa fawane ba: mu.
Yahweh has declared this: “When a lion attacks a sheep, [sometimes] a shepherd will be able to snatch from the lion’s mouth only two legs or an ear of the sheep. Similarly, [only] a few people from Samaria will escape, and [they will be able to rescue only] a part of a couch and a part of a bed.”
13 Nabima! Ya: igobe egaga fi ilima sisasu olelema!” Ouligisudafa Hina Gode Bagadedafa da amane sia: sa.
The Commander of the armies of angels said this: “Proclaim [this message] about the descendants [MTY] of Jacob:
14 “Isala: ili dunu da wadela: i hou bagade hamobeba: le, Na da ilima se dabe imunu. Amo esoga Na da Bedele oloda huluane wadela: lesimu. Oloda huluane ilia hegomai hono huluane da fadegale fasili, osoboga ha: digi dagoi ba: mu.
When I, Yahweh, punish [the people of] Israel because of the sins that they have committed, I will cause the altars at Bethel [town] to be destroyed; even the projections at the corners of the altars will be cut off and fall to the ground.
15 Na da anegagisu eso diasu amola dogolosu eso diasu amola wadela: lesimu. Diasu noga: le nenemene gagui amola ‘aifoli’ amoga nina: hamoi, amo huluane amola diasu bagade Na da mugululi dagomu.”
I will cause the houses [that they live in during] the (winter/rainy season) and those [in which they live during] the (summer/dry season) to be torn down. [Beautiful] big houses and houses [that are decorated] with ivory will be destroyed. [That will surely happen because I], Yahweh, have said it!”
