Amos 7
1 This is what the Lord God showed me. I saw that he was preparing a swarm of locusts just when the spring crops began to grow. (Spring crops begin to grow right after the time when the king's hay is cut.)
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 so when the locusts finished eating every green plant in the fields, I pleaded with the Lord God, “Please forgive your people! How can the descendants of Jacob survive? They are so weak.”
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 So the Lord changed his mind. “It won't happen,” said the Lord.
Nanenenan’ i Jehovah izany; Tsy hisy izany, hoy Jehovah.
4 This is what the Lord God showed me. I saw that the Lord God was calling for a judgment of fire. The fire burned up the depths of the sea and destroyed the farmland.
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 I pleaded with the Lord God, “Please stop! How can the descendants of Jacob survive? They are so weak.”
Dia hoy izaho: Jehovah Tompo, Mifona aminao aho, mitsahara! Hataon’ i Jakoba ahoana no fahajanona? Fa kely izy.
6 So the Lord changed his mind. “This too won't happen,” said the Lord.
Nanenenan’ i Jehovah izany; Tsy hisy izany, hoy Jehovah Tompo.
7 This is what he showed me. I saw the Lord was standing beside a wall that had been built with a plumb line. He was holding a plumb 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 asked me, “Amos, what do you see?” I replied, “A plumb line.” And the Lord God said, “I am placing a plumb line in the midst of my people Israel. I won't ignore their sins anymore.
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 The high places of the descendents of Isaac will be torn down, and the holy places of Israel will be destroyed. Sword in hand, I will rise up against the house of Jeroboam.”
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, priest of Bethel, sent a message to Jeroboam, king of Israel, saying, “Amos is plotting against you among the people of Israel. What he's saying is unbearable!
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 he's saying Jeroboam will be killed by the sword, and the people will be taken away from their land into exile.”
satria hoy Amosa: Ho fatin-tsabatra Jeroboama, ary hobaboina hiala amin’ ny taniny tokoa ny Isiraely.
12 Amaziah said to Amos, “Go away prophet! Run away to the land of Judah. Go and prophesy there to earn your bread.
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 don't ever prophesy again at Bethel, for this is where the king worships, the national Temple.”
fa aza maminany eto Betela intsony; fa fitoera-masin’ ny mpanjaka sy tranom-panjakana ity.
14 But Amos replied, “I'm not a trained prophet, or the son of a prophet. I was just a shepherd, and also took care of fig 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 The Lord took me from following my flock, and the Lord told me, ‘Go, and give my message to my people of Israel.’”
saingy nalain’ i Jehovah tany ampiandrasana ondry ka nataony hoe: Mandehana, ka maminania amin’ ny Isiraely oloko.
16 So now hear what the Lord is telling you: You say, “Don't prophesy against Israel, and don't preach against the descendants 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 But this is what the Lord says: Your wife will become a prostitute in the city; your sons and daughters will be killed by the sword. Your land will be measured and divided up, and you yourself will die in a foreign land. The people of Israel will definitely be taken from the land and go into exile.
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.
