< Amos 3 >
1 Hear this word that Jehovah has spoken against you, O sons of Israel, against the whole family which I brought up out of the land of Egypt, saying,
Dakayo a tattao ti Israel, denggenyo daytoy a sao nga imbalikas ni Yahweh maibusor kadakayo, maibusor iti sibubukel a pamilia nga inruarko iti daga ti Egipto,
2 You only I have known of all the families of the earth. Therefore I will visit upon you all your iniquities.
dakayo laeng ti pinilik manipud kadagiti amin a pamilia iti daga. Isu a dusaenkayonto gapu iti amin a nagbasolanyo.
3 Shall two walk together unless they have agreed?
Agkuyog kadi a magna ti dua a tao no saanda a nagtulag?
4 Will a lion roar in the forest, when he has no prey? Will a young lion cry out of his den, if he has taken nothing?
Agngernger kadi ti leon idiay kabakiran no awan biktimana? Agngernger kadi ti urbon a leon idiay rukibna no awan nakemmegna?
5 Can a bird fall in a snare upon the earth, where no net is set for him? Shall a snare spring up from the ground, and have taken nothing at all?
Matiliw kadi ti billit iti palab-og nga adda iti daga no awan iti appan a naikabil para iti daytoy? Agpangato kadi ti silo manipud iti daga no awan nasiloanna?
6 Shall the trumpet be blown in a city, and the people not be afraid? Shall evil befall a city, and Jehovah has not done it?
No aguni ti trumpeta iti maysa a siudad, saan kadi nga agtigerger dagiti tattao? Umay kadi ti didigra iti maysa a siudad no saan nga inyeg ni Yahweh daytoy?
7 Surely the lord Jehovah will do nothing unless he reveals his secret to his servants the prophets.
Awan duadua a saan nga agtignay ni Yahweh nga Apo no saanna pay nga impakaammo ti panggepna kadagiti adipenna a profeta.
8 The lion has roared, who will not fear? The lord Jehovah has spoken, who can but prophesy?
Nagngernger ti leon; siasino ti saan nga agbuteng? Nagsao ni Yahweh nga Apo; siasino ti saan a mangipadto?
9 Publish ye in the palaces at Ashdod, and in the palaces in the land of Egypt, and say, Assemble yourselves upon the mountains of Samaria, and behold what great tumults are in it, and what oppressions are in the midst of it.
Iwaragawagyo daytoy kadagiti sarikedked idiay Asdod, ken kadagiti sarikedked idiay daga ti Egipto; ibagayo: “Aguummongkayo kadagiti banbantay ti Samaria ket kitaenyo ti dakkel a riribok nga adda kenkuana ken ti pannakaidadanes nga adda kenkuana.
10 For they do not know to do right, says Jehovah, who store up violence and robbery in their palaces.
Gapu ta saanda nga ammo ti agaramid iti nalinteg”—daytoy ti imbaga ni Yahweh—”Agur-urnongda iti kinaranggas ken pannakadadael kadagiti sarikedkedda.”
11 Therefore thus says the lord Jehovah: An adversary shall be, even round about the land, and he shall bring down thy strength from thee, and thy palaces shall be plundered.
Isu a kastoy ti ibagbaga ni Yahweh nga Apo: “Palawlawanto ti kabusor ti daga. Rebbaenanto dagiti sarikedkedmo ken samsamannanto dagiti sarikedkedmo.”
12 Thus says Jehovah: As the shepherd rescues out of the mouth of the lion two legs, or a piece of an ear, so shall the sons of Israel be rescued who sit in Samaria in the corner of a couch, and on the silken cushions of a bed.
Kastoy ti kuna ni Yahweh: “Kas iti panangispal ti agpaspastor iti dua laeng a saka wenno maysa a lapayag manipud iti ngiwat iti leon kastanto met iti pannakaispal dagiti Israelita nga agnanaed iti Samaria, ket ti suli laeng iti sofa wenno maysa laeng a pidaso ti ap-ap ti kama ti maisalbarda.”
13 Hear ye, and testify against the house of Jacob, says the lord Jehovah, the God of hosts.
Dumngegkayo ken agsaksikayo maibusor iti balay ni Jacob —kastoy ti impakaammo ti Apo a Yahweh, ti Dios a mannakabalin amin.
14 For in the day that I shall visit the transgressions of Israel upon him, I will also visit the altars of Bethel, and the horns of the altar shall be cut off, and fall to the ground.
“Ta iti aldaw a dusaek ti basbasol ti Israel, dusaekto met dagiti altar ti Betel. Maputedto dagiti sara ti altar ket matnagto dagitoy iti daga.
15 And I will smite the winter house with the summer house, and the houses of ivory shall perish, and the great houses shall have an end, says Jehovah.
Dadaelekto ti balay a pagtataenganda iti panawen iti lam-ek ken ti balayda iti kalgaw. Madadaelto dagiti balay a marfil, ken mapukawto dagiti dadakkel a babbalay,” —daytoy ti imbaga ni Yahweh.
