Amos 5
1 Hear ye this word, which I take up concerning you for a lamentation. The house of Israel is fallen, and it shall rise no more.
Henoinareo izao teny izao, izay entiko milaza anareo, dia hira fahalahelovana, ry taranak’ Isiraely;
2 The virgin of Israel is cast down upon her land, there is none to raise her up.
Lavo Isiraely virijina ka tsy hahatsangana intsony; Nazera tamin’ ny taniny izy, ka tsy misy mangana azy.
3 For thus saith the Lord God: The city, out of which came forth a thousand, there shall be left in it a hundred: and out of which there came a hundred, there shall be left in it ten, in the house of Israel.
Fa izao no lazain’ i Jehovah Tompo: Izay tanàna namoaka arivo, dia, indreo, zato monja no sisa: ary izay namoaka zato, dia, indreo, folo monja no sisa ho an’ ny taranak’ Isiraely.
4 For thus saith the Lord to the house of Israel: Seek ye me, and you shall live.
Fa izao no lazain’ i Jehovah amin’ ny taranak’ Isiraely; Tadiavo Aho, dia ho velona ianareo;
5 But seek not Bethel, and go not into Galgal, neither shall you pass over to Bersabee: for Galgal shall go into captivity, and Bethel shall be unprofitable.
Fa aza mitady an’ i Betela, na mankany Gilgala, ary aza mandroso ho any Beri-sheba; Fa ho babo tokoa Gilgala, ary Betela dia ho tonga tsinontsinona.
6 Seek ye the Lord, and live: lest the house of Joseph be burnt with fire, and it shall devour, and there shall be none to quench Bethel.
Mitadiava an’ i Jehovah, dia ho velona ianareo; Fandrao hilatsaka toy ny afo mandevona amin’ ny taranak’ i Josefa Izy, ary Betela tsy hanana izay hahafaty ny afo,
7 You that turn judgment into wormwood, and forsake justice in the land,
Dia ianareo izay mamadika ny rariny ho zava-mahafaty ary mampiongana ny fahamarinana ho eo amin’ ny tany.
8 Seek him that maketh Arcturus, and Orion, and that turneth darkness into morning, and that changeth day into night: that calleth the waters of the sea, and poureth them out upon the face of the earth: The Lord is his name.
Ilay nanao an’ Ikotokelimiadilaona sy ny Telonohorefy, ary mampody ny aloky ny fahafatesana ho maraina sy manamaizina ny andro ho alina, dia ilay miantso ny rano ao an-dranomasina ka mandatsaka azy amin’ ny tany: Jehovah no anarany,
9 He that with a smile bringeth destruction upon the strong, and waste upon the mighty.
Dia Ilay mampitselatra fandravana hamely ny mahery, ka dia mihatra amin’ ny tanàna mimanda ny fandravana.
10 They have hated him that rebuketh in the gate: and have abhorred him that speaketh perfectly.
Halany eo am-bavahady izay mananatra, ary ataony ho fahavetavetana izay miteny ny marina.
11 Therefore because you robbed the poor, and took the choice prey from him: you shall build houses with square stone, and shall not dwell in them: you shall plant most delightful vineyards, and shall not drink the wine of them.
Koa noho ny fanitsakitsahanareo ny mahantra sy ny nampandoavanareo vary azy, dia mba nanao trano vato voapaika ihany ianareo, nefa tsy hitoetra ao aminy; Namboly tanim-boaloboka mahafinaritra ihany ianareo, nefa tsy hisotro ny divay avy aminy.
12 Because I know your manifold crimes, and your grievous sins: enemies of the just, taking bribes, and oppressing the poor in the gate.
Fa fantatro fa be ny helokareo, ary fatratra ny fahotanareo: Mampahory ny marina sy mandray kolikoly ianareo ary mamadika ny malahelo eo am-bavahady.
13 Therefore the prudent shall keep silence at that time, for it is an evil time.
Koa izay manan-tsaina dia hangina amin’ izao andro izao, fa andro mampahory izao.
14 Seek ye good, and not evil, that you may live: and the Lord the God of hosts will be with you, as you have said.
Ny tsara no tadiavo, fa aza ny ratsy, mba ho velona ianareo; Ka dia homba anareo Jehovah, Andriamanitry ny maro, araka izay efa nolazainareo.
15 Hate evil, and love good, and establish judgment in the gate: it may be the Lord the God of hosts may have mercy on the remnant of Joseph.
Ankahalao ny ratsy, ka tiavo ny tsara, ary aoreno eo am-pitsarana ny rariny; Angamba Jehovah, Andriamanitry ny maro, hamindra fo amin’ izay sisa amin’ i Josefa.
16 Therefore thus saith the Lord the God of hosts the sovereign Lord: In every street there shall be wailing: and in all places that are without, they shall say: Alas, alas! and they shall call the husbandman to mourning, and such as are skillful in lamentation to lament.
Koa izao no lazain’ i Jehovah Tompo, Andriamanitry ny maro: Eny an-kalalahana rehetra dia hisy fisaonana, ary eny an-dalambe rehetra dia hisy hanao hoe: Indrisy! Indrisy! Ary hiantso ny mpiasa tany hitomany izy, ary izay mahay hira fisaonana dia hantsoiny hanao.
17 And in all vineyards there shall be wailing: because I will pass through in the midst of thee, saith the Lord.
Ary any amin’ ny tanim-boaloboka rehetra dia hisy fisaonana; Fa handeha hamaky eo aminao Aho, hoy Jehovah.
18 Woe to them that desire the day of the Lord: to what end is it for you? the day of the Lord is darkness, and not light.
Lozan’ izay maniry ny andron’ i Jehovah! Hataonareo inona moa ny andron’ i Jehovah? Dia aizina, fa tsy fahazavana,
19 As if a man should flee from the face of a lion, and a bear should meet him: or enter into the house, and lean with his hand upon the wall, and a serpent should bite him.
Tahaka ny olona mandositra ny liona ka sendra ny bera, ary rehefa tafiditra ao an-trano ka mitehin-tanana amin’ ny rindrina, dia kekerin’ ny menarana.
20 Shall not the day of the Lord be darkness, and not light: and obscurity, and no brightness in it?
Moa tsy aizina va ny andron’ i Jehovah, fa tsy fahazavana? Tsy aizim-pito tsy misy mangirana akory va izany?
21 I hate, and have rejected your festivities: and I will not receive the odour of your assemblies.
Halako, eny, laviko ny andro firavoravoanareo, ary tsy ho hanitra ankasitrahana amiko ny fivorianareo masìna.
22 And if you offer me holocausts, and your gifts, I will not receive them: neither will I regard the vows of your fat beasts.
Na dia ateranareo fanatitra dorana sy fanatitra hohanina aza Aho, dia tsy sitrako izany; Ny zanak’ omby mifahy aterinareo ho fanati-pihavanana dia tsy hojereko akory.
23 Take away from me the tumult of thy songs: and I will not hear the canticles of thy harp.
Atsaharo ny finaonaonan’ ny hiranareo, fa maharenina Ahy; Fa tsy hihaino ny fanenon’ ny lokanganareo Aho.
24 But judgment shall be revealed as water, and justice as a mighty torrent.
Ary aoka ny fitsarana hanalonalona toy ny rano, ary ny fahamarinana toy ny renirano tsy mety ritra.
25 Did you offer victims and sacrifices to me in the desert for forty years, O house of Israel?
Moa efa nanatitra fanatitra hohanina sy fanatitra alatsa-drà ho Ahy tany an-efitra efa-polo taona va ianareo, ry taranak’ i Isiraely?
26 But you carried a tabernacle for your Moloch, and the image of your idols, the star of your god, which you made to yourselves.
Tsia, fa ny nitondra ny tabernakelin’ ny mpanjakanareo sy ny fipetrahan’ ny sampinareo ihany no nataonareo, dia ny kintan’ ny andriamanitrareo, izay nataonareo ho anareo
27 And I will cause you to go into captivity beyond Damascus, saith the Lord, the God of hosts is his name.
Ka dia ho entiko ho babo any ankoatr’ i Damaskosy ianareo, hoy Jehovah, Andriamanitry ny maro no anarany.
