< Amos 7 >

1 This is what the Lord God let me see: and I saw that, when the growth of the late grass was starting, he made locusts; it was the late growth after the king's cutting was done.
Izao no nasehon’ i Jehovah Tompo tamiko: Indro, nanao ny valala tamin’ ny voalohan’ ny nitsimohan’ ny kolokolon’ ahitra Izy; ary, indro, kolokolon’ izay nojinjana ho an’ ny mpanjaka izany.
2 And it came about that after they had taken all the grass of the land, I said, O Lord God, have mercy: how will Jacob be able to keep his place? for he is small.
Ary nony efa laniny avokoa ny zava-maniry amin’ ny tany, dia hoy izaho: Jehovah Tompo, mifona aminao aho mamelà heloka! Hataon’ i Jakoba ahoana no fahajanona? Fa kely izy.
3 The Lord, changing his purpose about this, said, It will not be.
Nanenenan’ i Jehovah izany; Tsy hisy izany, hoy Jehovah.
4 This is what the Lord let me see: and I saw that the Lord God sent for a great fire to be the instrument of his punishment; and, after burning up the great deep, it was about to put an end to the Lord's heritage.
Izao no nasehon’ i Jehovah Tompo tamiko: Indro, Jehovah Tompo miantso hifandahatra hamely amin’ ny afo, ka nandevona ny lalina lehibe sy nila handany ny zara-lova izany.
5 Then said I, O Lord God, let there be an end: how will Jacob be able to keep his place? for he is small.
Dia hoy izaho: Jehovah Tompo, Mifona aminao aho, mitsahara! Hataon’ i Jakoba ahoana no fahajanona? Fa kely izy.
6 The Lord, changing his purpose about this, said, And this will not be.
Nanenenan’ i Jehovah izany; Tsy hisy izany, hoy Jehovah Tompo.
7 This is what he let me see: and I saw the Lord stationed by a wall made straight by a weighted line, and he had a weighted line in his hand.
Izao no nasehony ahy: Indro, ny Tompo nitsangana teo ambonin’ ny manda natao amin’ ny pilao, sady nisy pilao teny an-tànany.
8 And the Lord said to me, Amos, what do you see? And I said, A weighted line. Then the Lord said, See, I will let down a weighted line among my people Israel; never again will my eyes be shut to their sin:
Dia hoy Jehovah tamiko: Inona no hitanao, ry Amosa? Ary hoy izaho: Pilao. Dia hoy ny Tompo: Indro, hanisy pilao eo amin’ ny Isiraely oloko Aho, fa tsy handefitra aminy intsony;
9 And the high places of Isaac will be unpeopled, and the holy places of Israel will be made waste; and I will come up against the family of Jeroboam with the sword.
Dia ho foana ny fitoerana avon’ Isaka, ary ho rava ny fitoera-masin’ Isiraely; Ary hitsangana Aho ka hamely sabatra ny taranak’ i Jeroboama.
10 Then Amaziah, the priest of Beth-el, sent to Jeroboam, king of Israel, saying, Amos has made designs against you among the people of Israel: the land is troubled by his words.
Dia naniraka tany amin’ i Jeroboama, mpanjakan’ ny Isiraely, Amazia, ilay mpisorona tao Betela, nanao hoe: Amosa efa nanao tetika hikomy aminao teo amin’ ny taranak’ Isiraely, ary tsy zakan’ ny tany ny teniny rehetra,
11 For Amos has said, Jeroboam will be put to the sword, and Israel will certainly be taken away as a prisoner out of his land.
satria hoy Amosa: Ho fatin-tsabatra Jeroboama, ary hobaboina hiala amin’ ny taniny tokoa ny Isiraely.
12 And Amaziah said to Amos, O seer, go in flight into the land of Judah, and there get your living by working as a prophet:
Ary hoy Amazia tamin’ i Amosa: Ry mpahita! andeha mandositra mankany amin’ ny tanin’ ny Joda ianao, ka mihinàna hanina any, ary maminania any;
13 But be a prophet no longer at Beth-el: for it is the holy place of the king, and the king's house.
fa aza maminany eto Betela intsony; fa fitoera-masin’ ny mpanjaka sy tranom-panjakana ity.
14 Then Amos in answer said to Amaziah, I am no prophet, or one of the sons of the prophets; I am a herdman and one who takes care of sycamore-trees:
Dia namaly Amosa ka nanao tamin’ i Amazia hoe: Tsy mba mpaminany aho, na zanaka ny mpaminany; fa mpiandry ondry sy mpioty aviavy ihany aho,
15 And the Lord took me from the flock, and the Lord said to me, Go, be a prophet to my people Israel.
saingy nalain’ i Jehovah tany ampiandrasana ondry ka nataony hoe: Mandehana, ka maminania amin’ ny Isiraely oloko.
16 Now then, give ear to the word of the Lord: You say, Be no prophet to Israel, and say not a word against the people of Isaac.
Ka mba henoy ny tenin’ i Jehovah: Hianao manao hoe: Aza maminany ny hamelezana ny Isiraely, ary aza milaza ny hamelezana ny taranak’ Isaka;
17 So this is what the Lord has said: Your wife will be a loose woman in the town, and your sons and your daughters will be put to the sword, and your land will be cut up into parts by a line; and you yourself will come to your end in an unclean land, and Israel will certainly be taken away a prisoner out of his land.
Koa izao no lazain’ i Jehovah: Ny vadinao hijangajanga ao an-tanàna, ary ny zanakao-lahy sy ny zanakao-vavy ho lavon-tsabatra, Ary ny taninao hozaraina amin’ ny famolaina; Ary ny tenanao ho faty any amin’ ny tany maloto; Ary ny Isiraely hobaboina hiala amin’ ny taniny tokoa.
