Amos 3
1 Hear the word that the Lord hath spoken concerning you, O ye children of Israel: concerning the whole family that I brought up out of the land of Egypt, saying:
Henoy izao teny izao, izay lazain’ i Jehovah ny aminareo, ry Zanak’ Isiraely, dia ny amin’ io taranaka rehetra nentiko niakatra avy tany amin’ ny tany Egypta io:
2 You only have I known of all the families of the earth: therefore will I visit upon you all your iniquities.
Hianareo ihany no fantatro tamin’ ny firenena rehetra ambonin’ ny tany, koa noho izany dia hovaliako ianareo noho ny helokareo rehetra.
3 Shall two walk together except they be agreed?
Ho tafara-dalana va ny roa, raha tsy efa nifanaiky?
4 Will a lion roar in the forest, if he have no prey? will the lion’s whelp cry out of his den, if he have taken nothing?
Mierona any an’ ala va ny liona, raha tsy mahita toha? Manerona ao an-davany va ny liona tanora, raha tsy mahazo zavatra?
5 Will the bird fall into the snare upon the earth, if there be no fowler? Shall the snare be taken up from the earth, before it hath taken somewhat?
Voan’ ny fandrika etỳ an-tany va ny vorona, raha tsy nisy tadivavarana? Mikatona va ny fandrika, raha tsy mahavoa zavatra?
6 Shall the trumpet sound in a city, and the people not be afraid? Shall there be evil in a city, which the Lord hath not done?
Tsofina va ao an-tanàna ny anjomara, ka tsy hatahotra ny vahoaka? Misy loza ao an-tanàna va, raha tsy Jehovah no nahatonga izany?
7 For the Lord God doth nothing without revealing his secret to his servants the prophets.
Tsy manao na inona na inona tokoa Jehovah Tompo, raha tsy milaza ny heviny amin’ ny mpaminany mpanompony.
8 The lion shall roar, who will not fear? The Lord God hath spoken, who shall not prophesy?
Ny liona no mierona, ka iza no tsy hatahotra? Jehovah Tompo no miteny, ka iza no tsy haminany?
9 Publish it in the houses of Azotus, and in the houses of the land of Egypt, and say: Assemble yourselves upon the mountains of Samaria, and behold the many follies in the midst thereof, and them that suffer oppression in the inner rooms thereof.
Ambarao ao an-tranoben’ i Asdoda sy ao an-tranobe any amin’ ny tany Egypta, ka ataovy hoe: Miangona any an-tendrombohitr’ i Samaria ianareo, ary jereo ny tabataba be ao aminy sy ny fampahoriana ao anatiny.
10 And they have not known to do the right thing, saith the Lord, storing up iniquity, and robberies in their houses.
Fa tsy mahalala hanao ny marina izy ireo, hoy Jehovah, dia ireo izay mitahiry fandozana sy roba ao an-tranobeny.
11 Therefore thus saith the Lord God: The land shall be in tribulation, and shall be compassed about: and thy strength shall be taken away from thee, and thy houses shall be spoiled.
Koa izao no lazain’ i Jehovah Tompo: He, misy fahavalo manodidina ny tany! Hazerany ho afaka aminao ny herinao, ary hobaboina ny tranobenao.
12 Thus saith the Lord: As if a shepherd should get out of the lion’s mouth two legs, or the tip of the ear: so shall the children of Israel be taken out that dwell in Samaria, in a piece of a bed, and in the couch of Damascus.
Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah: Toy ny famonjin’ ny mpiandry ondry ny tongotr’ ondry roa na ny sombin-tsofina eny am-bavan’ ny liona, dia toy izany no ho famonjy ny Zanak’ Isiraely, izay mipetraka ao Samaria, eo an-jorom-parafara sy eo amin’ ny lamba fandriandriana avy any Damaskosy.
13 Hear ye, and testify in the house of Jacob, saith the Lord the God of hosts:
Henoinareo, ka ambarao hamelezana ny taranak’ i Jakoba, hoy ny Tompo, Jehovah, Andriamanitry ny maro:
14 That in the day when I shall begin to visit the transgressions of Israel, I will visit upon him, and upon the altars of Bethel: and the horns of the altars shall be cut off, and shall fall to the ground.
Amin’ ny andro hamaliako ny Isiraely noho ny fahotana ao aminy no hamaliako ny alitara ao Betela dia hokapaina ny tandroky ny alitara ka hianjera amin’ ny tany.
15 And I will strike the winter house with the summer house: and the houses of ivory shall perish, and many houses shall be destroyed, saith the Lord.
Hamely ny trano ririnina sy ny trano fahavaratra Aho; Ary ho rava ny trano ivory, sady ho fongana ny trano maro, hoy Jehovah.
