Amos 3
1 Hear this word that the LORD hath spoken against you, O children of Israel, against the whole family which I brought up out of the land of Egypt, saying:
Yaa saba Israaʼel, dubbii Waaqayyo isiniin mormuudhaan, maatii ani biyya Gibxii baasee fide hundaan mormuudhaan dubbate kana dhagaʼaa:
2 You only have I known of all the families of the earth; therefore I will visit upon you all your iniquities.
“Ani maatiiwwan lafa irra jiraatan hunda keessaa isin qofa filadheera; kanaafuu ani cubbuu keessan hundaaf isinan adaba.”
3 Will two walk together, except they have agreed?
Yoo walii galan malee namoonni lama wajjin ni deemuu?
4 Will a lion roar in the forest, when he hath no prey? Will a young lion give forth his voice out of his den, if he have taken nothing?
Leenci tokko yoo waan adamsu hin argatin bosona keessaa ni aadaa? Inni yoo waa qabate malee holqa isaa keessaa ni aadaa?
5 Will a bird fall in a snare upon the earth, where there is no lure for it? Will a snare spring up from the ground, and have taken nothing at all?
Simbirri tokko lafa kiyyoon hin kaaʼaminitti kiyyoo keessa ni seentii? Kiyyoon tokko yoo wanni qabamu hin jirre akkasumatti lafaa ni utaalaa?
6 Shall the horn be blown in a city, and the people not tremble? Shall evil befall a city, and the LORD hath not done it?
Yoo magaalaa keessatti malakanni afuufame, namoonni hin raafamanii? Balaan magaalaa tokkotti yoo dhufe, Waaqayyotu waan sana fide mitii?
7 For the Lord GOD will do nothing, but He revealeth His counsel unto His servants the prophets.
Dhugumaan Waaqayyo Gooftaan utuu tajaajiltoota isaa raajotatti hin mulʼisin waan tokko illee hin hojjetu.
8 The lion hath roared, who will not fear? The Lord GOD hath spoken, who can but prophesy?
Leenci aadeera; eenyutu hin sodaanne ree? Waaqayyo Gooftaan dubbateera; yoos eenyutu raajii hin dubbanne ree?
9 Proclaim it upon the palaces at Ashdod, and upon the palaces in the land of Egypt, and say: 'Assemble yourselves upon the mountains of Samaria, and behold the great confusions therein, and the oppressions in the midst thereof.'
Daʼannoo Ashdoodiitii fi daʼannoo Gibxitti akkana jedhaa labsaa: “Tulluuwwan Samaariyaa irratti walitti qabamaa; jeequmsa guddaa ishee keessa jiruu fi cunqursaa uummata ishee keessa jiru ilaalaa.”
10 For they know not to do right, saith the LORD, who store up violence and robbery in their palaces.
“Warri daʼannoo isaanii keessatti waan boojiʼamee fi waan saamame kuufatan akka itti waan qajeelaa hojjetan hin beekan” jedha Waaqayyo.
11 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD: An adversary, even round about the land! And he shall bring down thy strength from thee, and thy palaces shall be spoiled.
Kanaafuu Waaqayyo Gooftaan akkana jedha: “Diinni biyya keessan marsa; jabina keessan gad buusa; daʼannoowwan keessanis ni saama.”
12 Thus saith the LORD: As the shepherd rescueth out of the mouth of the lion two legs, or a piece of an ear, so shall the children of Israel that dwell in Samaria escape with the corner of a couch, and the leg of a bed.
Waaqayyo akkana jedha: “Akkuma tikseen tokko lafee miilla lamaanii yookaan fiixee gurraa qofa afaan leencaatii buusu sana, Israaʼeloonni Samaariyaa keessa, qarqara siree isaanii irra, Damaasqoo keessas siree isaanii dinkii irra taaʼan akkasuma ni baraaramu.”
13 Hear ye, and testify against the house of Jacob, saith the Lord GOD, the God of hosts.
“Waan kana dhagaʼaatii mana Yaaqoobitti dhugaa baʼaa” jedha Gooftaan, Waaqayyo Waaqni Waan Hunda Dandaʼu.
14 For in the day that I shall visit the transgressions of Israel upon him, I will also punish the altars of Beth-el, and the horns of the altar shall be cut off, and fall to the ground.
“Guyyaa ani cubbuu isheetiif jedhee Israaʼelin adabutti, iddoowwan aarsaa Beetʼeel nan barbadeessa; gaanfawwan iddoo aarsaas caccabanii lafatti ni harcaʼu.
15 And I will smite the winter-house with the summer-house; and the houses of ivory shall perish, and the great houses shall have an end, saith the LORD.
Ani mana gannaatii fi mana bonaa nan diiga; manneen ilka arbaatiin miidhagfaman ni diigamu; manneen gurguddaanis ni balleeffamu” jedha Waaqayyo.
