Amos 3
1 Hear this word that the LORD has spoken against you, O children of Israel, against the whole family that I brought up out of the land of Egypt:
Yaa saba Israaʼel, dubbii Waaqayyo isiniin mormuudhaan, maatii ani biyya Gibxii baasee fide hundaan mormuudhaan dubbate kana dhagaʼaa:
2 “Only you have I known from all the families of the earth; therefore I will punish you for all your iniquities.”
“Ani maatiiwwan lafa irra jiraatan hunda keessaa isin qofa filadheera; kanaafuu ani cubbuu keessan hundaaf isinan adaba.”
3 Can two walk together without agreeing where to go?
Yoo walii galan malee namoonni lama wajjin ni deemuu?
4 Does a lion roar in the forest when he has no prey? Does a young lion growl in his den if he has caught nothing?
Leenci tokko yoo waan adamsu hin argatin bosona keessaa ni aadaa? Inni yoo waa qabate malee holqa isaa keessaa ni aadaa?
5 Does a bird land in a snare where no bait has been set? Does a trap spring from the ground when it has nothing to catch?
Simbirri tokko lafa kiyyoon hin kaaʼaminitti kiyyoo keessa ni seentii? Kiyyoon tokko yoo wanni qabamu hin jirre akkasumatti lafaa ni utaalaa?
6 If a ram’s horn sounds in a city, do the people not tremble? If calamity comes to a city, has not the LORD caused it?
Yoo magaalaa keessatti malakanni afuufame, namoonni hin raafamanii? Balaan magaalaa tokkotti yoo dhufe, Waaqayyotu waan sana fide mitii?
7 Surely the Lord GOD does nothing without revealing His plan to His servants the prophets.
Dhugumaan Waaqayyo Gooftaan utuu tajaajiltoota isaa raajotatti hin mulʼisin waan tokko illee hin hojjetu.
8 The lion has roared— who will not fear? The Lord GOD has spoken— who will not prophesy?
Leenci aadeera; eenyutu hin sodaanne ree? Waaqayyo Gooftaan dubbateera; yoos eenyutu raajii hin dubbanne ree?
9 Proclaim to the citadels of Ashdod and to the citadels of Egypt: “Assemble on the mountains of Samaria; see the great unrest in the city and the acts of oppression in her midst.”
Daʼannoo Ashdoodiitii fi daʼannoo Gibxitti akkana jedhaa labsaa: “Tulluuwwan Samaariyaa irratti walitti qabamaa; jeequmsa guddaa ishee keessa jiruu fi cunqursaa uummata ishee keessa jiru ilaalaa.”
10 “For they know not how to do right,” declares the LORD. “They store up violence and destruction in their citadels.”
“Warri daʼannoo isaanii keessatti waan boojiʼamee fi waan saamame kuufatan akka itti waan qajeelaa hojjetan hin beekan” jedha Waaqayyo.
11 Therefore this is what the Lord GOD says: “An enemy will surround the land; he will pull down your strongholds and plunder your citadels.”
Kanaafuu Waaqayyo Gooftaan akkana jedha: “Diinni biyya keessan marsa; jabina keessan gad buusa; daʼannoowwan keessanis ni saama.”
12 This is what the LORD says: “As the shepherd snatches from the mouth of the lion two legs or a piece of an ear, so the Israelites dwelling in Samaria will be rescued having just the corner of a bed or the cushion of a couch.
Waaqayyo akkana jedha: “Akkuma tikseen tokko lafee miilla lamaanii yookaan fiixee gurraa qofa afaan leencaatii buusu sana, Israaʼeloonni Samaariyaa keessa, qarqara siree isaanii irra, Damaasqoo keessas siree isaanii dinkii irra taaʼan akkasuma ni baraaramu.”
13 Hear and testify against the house of Jacob, declares the Lord GOD, the God of Hosts.
“Waan kana dhagaʼaatii mana Yaaqoobitti dhugaa baʼaa” jedha Gooftaan, Waaqayyo Waaqni Waan Hunda Dandaʼu.
14 On the day I punish Israel for their transgressions, I will visit destruction on the altars of Bethel; the horns of the altar will be cut off, and they will fall to the ground.
“Guyyaa ani cubbuu isheetiif jedhee Israaʼelin adabutti, iddoowwan aarsaa Beetʼeel nan barbadeessa; gaanfawwan iddoo aarsaas caccabanii lafatti ni harcaʼu.
15 I will tear down the winter house along with the summer house; the houses of ivory will also perish, and the great houses will come to an end,”
Ani mana gannaatii fi mana bonaa nan diiga; manneen ilka arbaatiin miidhagfaman ni diigamu; manneen gurguddaanis ni balleeffamu” jedha Waaqayyo.
