< Amos 6 >
1 Woe to those at ease in Zion and those secure on Mount Samaria, the distinguished ones of the foremost nation, to whom the house of Israel comes.
Lozan’ ireo miadana ao Ziona sy ireo matokitoky foana ao an-tendrombohitr’ i Samaria, dia ireo malaza eo amin’ ny firenena malaza indrindra sady hatonin’ ny taranak’ Isiraely.
2 Cross over to Calneh and see; go from there to the great Hamath; then go down to Gath of the Philistines. Are you better than these kingdoms? Is their territory larger than yours?
Mankanesa any Kalne ianareo, ka mijere, dia mandrosoa ihany ho any Hamata lehibe; Ary midìna ho any Gatan’ ny Filistina; Tsara noho ireo fanjakana ireo va izy? Sa lehibe noho ny tanin’ ireo va ny taninareo?
3 You dismiss the day of calamity and bring near a reign of violence.
Hianareo izay mihevitra ny andro mampahory ho mbola lavitra sy mampanakaiky ny seza fandozana,
4 You lie on beds inlaid with ivory, and lounge upon your couches. You dine on lambs from the flock and calves from the stall.
Dia ireo izay mandrimandry ao amin’ ny farafara ivoriny sy mitsilailay eo amin’ ny fandriandriany ary homana ny zanak’ ondry avy amin’ ny andian’ ny ondry sy ny zanak’ omby avy ao am-pahitra,
5 You improvise songs on the harp like David and invent your own musical instruments.
Dia ireo izay mivovo foana manaraka ny feon-dokanga ary mamorona zava-maneno toy ny nataon’ i Davida,
6 You drink wine by the bowlful and anoint yourselves with the finest oils, but you fail to grieve over the ruin of Joseph.
Dia ireo izay misotro divay amin’ ny lovia famafazana sady mihosotra diloilo tsara Indrindra, nefa tsy onena ny fahasimban’ i Josefa.
7 Therefore, you will now go into exile as the first of the captives, and your feasting and lounging will come to an end.
Koa amin’ izao dia ho voalohany amin’ izay hobaboina ireo, ary hatsahatro ny hobin’ izay mitsilailay foana.
8 The Lord GOD has sworn by Himself—the LORD, the God of Hosts, has declared: “I abhor Jacob’s pride and detest his citadels, so I will deliver up the city and everything in it.”
Jehovah Tompo dia efa nianiana tamin’ ny tenany, hoy Jehovah, Andriamanitry ny maro: Fahavetavetana eo anatrehako ny reharehan’ i Jakoba, ary halako ny tranobeny; Koa dia hatolotro ny tanàna mbamin’ izay rehetra ao anatiny.
9 And if there are ten men left in one house, they too will die.
Ary raha hisy folo lahy sisa ao an-trano iray, dia samy ho faty ireo.
10 And when the relative who is to burn the bodies picks them up to remove them from the house, he will call to one inside, “Is anyone else with you?” “None,” that person will answer. “Silence,” the relative will retort, “for the name of the LORD must not be invoked.”
Ary ny havan’ izay maty, na izay handevina azy, dia hambeta azy ka hitondra ny faty hiala ao an-trano, dia hiteny amin’ izay ao anaty trano hoe: Mbola misy ihany va ato aminao? Ary raha hoy izy: Tapitra! Dia hovaliana hoe: Mangìna re! fa tsy tokony hotonenina ny anaran’ i Jehovah.
11 For the LORD gives a command: “The great house will be smashed to pieces, and the small house to rubble.”
Fa, indro, Jehovah no mandidy, ka horavana ny trano lehibe, ary hotresatresahina ny trano madinika.
12 “Do horses gallop on the cliffs? Does one plow the sea with oxen? But you have turned justice into poison and the fruit of righteousness into wormwood—
Mihazakazaka eny amin’ ny sola-bato va ny soavaly. Misy olona mampihosy omby va eny, no efa navadikareo ho zava-mangidy ny rariny, ary ny vokatry ny fahamarinana ho zava-mahafaty?
13 you who rejoice in Lo-debar and say, ‘Did we not take Karnaim by our own strength?’
Dia ianareo izay mifaly amin’ ny zava-poana ka manao hoe: Moa tsy ny herinay va no ahazoanay tandroka ho anay?
14 For behold, I will raise up a nation against you, O house of Israel,” declares the LORD, the God of Hosts, “and they will oppress you from Lebo-hamath to the Brook of the Arabah.”
Fa, indro, hanangana firenena hamely anareo Aho, ry taranak’ Isiraely, hoy Jehovah, Andriamanitry ny maro, dia hampahory anareo hatrany akaikin’ i Hamata izy ka hatramin’ ny lohasahan-driaka any amin’ ny tani-hay.
