Amos 5
1 Hear ye this word which I take up for a lamentation over you, O house of Israel:
Janjiño o entañe honjoneko ho bekom-pandalàñe ama’ areoo, ry anjomba’ Israele:
2 The virgin of Israel is fallen, she shall no more rise; she is cast down upon her land, there is none to raise her up.
Nihotrake ty somondrara’ Israele; tsy hahafitroatse ka: mifitak’ an-tane’e eo avao, tsy eo ty mahaongak’ aze.
3 For thus saith the Lord GOD: The city that went forth a thousand shall have a hundred left, and that which went forth a hundred shall have ten left, of the house of Israel.
Fa hoe ty nafè’ Iehovà, Talè: Ty rova nampionjoñe ty arivo ro hengañe zato; naho ty nampionjoñe zato ro sisàñe folo, amy anjomba’ Israeley.
4 For thus saith the LORD unto the house of Israel: Seek ye Me, and live;
F’ie hoe ty nafè’ Iehovà amy anjomba’ Israeley: Paiavo iraho, soa t’ie ho veloñe;
5 But seek not Beth-el, nor enter into Gilgal, and pass not to Beer-sheba; for Gilgal shall surely go into captivity, and Beth-el shall come to nought.
Fa ko mipay i Betele, naho ko mb’e Gilgale mb’eo, vaho ko mitsake mb’e Beersèba amy te hasese mb’an-drohy añe t’i Gilgale, naho ho tanan-taolo t’i Betele.
6 Seek the LORD, and live — lest He break out like fire in the house of Joseph, and it devour, and there be none to quench it in Bethel —
Tsoeho t’Iehovà, soa te ho veloñe; tsy mone hisolebora’e hoe afo, ry anjomba’ Iosefe, hamorototo i Betele, ie tsy ama’e ty hahafikipek’aze.
7 Ye who turn judgment to wormwood, and cast righteousness to the ground;
O ry mamotetse ty zaka ho vahontsoy, vaho mametsake ty havantañañe an-tane,
8 Him that maketh the Pleiades and Orion, and bringeth on the shadow of death in the morning, and darkeneth the day into night; that calleth for the waters of the sea, and poureth them out upon the face of the earth; the LORD is His name;
Miandrà mb’amy Namboatse i vasiam-pito rey naho i Telo-miriritseiy; mb’amy mamalike ty fimoromoroñan-kavilasy ho maraiñey, mb’amy mampaièñe ty andro ho haleñey; mb’amy mpikanjy o ranon-driakeo hañiliña’e an-tarehe’ ty tane toiy: Iehovà ty tahina’e.
9 That causeth destruction to flash upon the strong, so that destruction cometh upon the fortress.
Ampibiloe’e amo maozatseo ty fandrotsahañe, vaho miambotrak’ amy rova fatratsey ty fandrebahañe.
10 They hate him that reproveth in the gate, and they abhor him that speaketh uprightly.
Heje’ iereo ty mpañendak’ an-dalambey eo, vaho falai’ iareo ty misaontsy an-kavañonañe.
11 Therefore, because ye trample upon the poor, and take from him exactions of wheat; ye have built houses of hewn stone, but ye shall not dwell in them, ye have planted pleasant vineyards, but ye shall not drink wine thereof.
Aa kanao lialià’ areo o rarakeo, naho angala’ areo fehen-ampemba, naho andranjia’ areo traño am-bato vinaky, toe tsy himoneña’areo; nambolèa’ areo tanem-bahe soa, f’ie tsy hinoman-divay.
12 For I know how manifold are your transgressions, and how mighty are your sins; ye that afflict the just, that take a ransom, and that turn aside the needy in the gate.
Toe apotako te maro o fandilara’ areoo naho jabajaba o ota-fali’ areo; helofa’ areo o vantañeoo, naho mangala-vokàñe, vaho ampiotahe’ areo an-dalambey eo o rarakeo.
13 Therefore the prudent doth keep silence in such a time; for it is an evil time.
Aa le hianjiñe avao o mahilalao amy andro zay amy te ho hekoheko i sa zay.
14 Seek good, and not evil, that ye may live; and so the LORD, the God of hosts, will be with you, as ye say.
Paiao ty soa, fa tsy ty raty, soa te ho veloñe; vaho hañimba anahareo t’Iehovà Andrianañahare’ i màroy, ty amy saontsi’ areoy.
15 Hate the evil, and love the good, and establish justice in the gate; it may be that the LORD, the God of hosts, will be gracious unto the remnant of Joseph.
Hejeo ty raty naho kokò ty soa, vaho añorizo zaka to an-dalambey eo; hera hanolots’arofo amo sehanga’ Iosefeo t’Iehovà Andrianañahare.
16 Therefore thus saith the LORD, the God of hosts, the Lord: Lamentation shall be in all the broad places, and they shall say in all the streets: 'Alas! alas!' and they shall call the husbandman to mourning, and proclaim lamentation to such as are skilful of wailing.
Aa le hoe t’Iehovà, Talè Andrianañahare’ i màroy: Fangololoihañe ty ho amo lalan-drovao, vaho ho koiheñe an-damoke ey ty hoe, Hankàñe! hankàñe! le hikoke o mpihareo, handala, naho o mahay mikoiakeo, hangoihoy.
17 And in all vineyards shall be lamentation; for I will pass through the midst of thee, saith the LORD.
Le firovetañe ty ho amo tanem-bahe iabio, amy te hiranga añivo’o ao iraho, hoe t’Iehovà.
18 Woe unto you that desire the day of the LORD! Wherefore would ye have the day of the LORD? It is darkness, and not light.
Hankàñe ama’ areo misalala ty andro’ Iehovà! Ho inoñ’ ama’ areo ty andro’ Iehovà? Ho fimoromoroñañe fa tsy hazavàñe.
19 As if a man did flee from a lion, and a bear met him; and went into the house and leaned his hand on the wall, and a serpent bit him.
Manahake t’indaty mibotatsak’ ami’ty liona te mone mizò amboa romotse; ndra mizilik’ añ’anjomba ao naho miato an-drindriñe eo ty fità’e vaho tsipohe’ ty fandrefeala.
20 Shall not the day of the LORD be darkness, and not light? Even very dark, and no brightness in it?
Tsy haieñe hao ty andro’ Iehovà fa tsy hazavàñe? Toe ho fimoromoroñañe fa tsy ho aman-kazavàñe ndra piti’e.
21 I hate, I despise your feasts, and I will take no delight in your solemn assemblies.
Hejeko, toe mampangorý ahy o sabadida’ areo miavakeo, tsy noko o fivorim-pamantaña’ areoo.
22 Yea, though ye offer me burnt-offerings and your meal-offerings, I will not accept them; neither will I regard the peace-offerings of your fat beasts.
Aa ndra t’ie mañenga soron-koroañe rekets’ enga-mahakama amako, tsy ho noko; vaho tsy ho haoñeko o engam-pilongoa’ areoo naho o vinondra’ areoo.
23 Take thou away from Me the noise of thy songs; and let Me not hear the melody of thy psalteries.
Asitaho amako ty fikoraha’ o saboo; le tsy ho tsanoñeko ty feo fititiha’ areo.
24 But let justice well up as waters, and righteousness as a mighty stream.
Te mone ampikararaho hoe rano ty hatò, naho hoe torahañe tsy-mai-drano ty havantañañe.
25 Did ye bring unto Me sacrifices and offerings in the wilderness forty years, O house of Israel?
Aa vaho nisoroñe naho nañenga-mahakama amako an-dratraratra añe hao nahareo tamy efa-polo taoñe zay, ry Anjomba’ Israele?
26 So shall ye take up Siccuth your king and Chiun your images, the star of your god, which ye made to yourselves.
Toe nibabè’ areo ty kibohom-panjàka’ areo, naho o samposampo’ areoo, i vasian-drahare nitsenè’ areoy.
27 Therefore will I cause you to go into captivity beyond Damascus, saith He, whose name is the LORD God of hosts.
Aa le haseseko an-drohy mb’ankalo’ i Damesèk’ añe, hoe t’Iehovà. I Andrianañahare’ i màroy ty tahina’ey.
