< Amos 1 >

1 THE words of Amos, who was among the herdmen of Tekoa, which he saw concerning Israel in the days of Uzziah king of Judah, and in the days of Jeroboam the son of Joash king of Israel, two years before the earthquake.
Kun mulʼata Amoos inni tikseewwan Teqooʼaa keessaa tokko ture sun bara Uziyaan mootii Yihuudaa, Yerobiʼaam ilmi Yooʼaash immoo mootii Israaʼel turetti, utuu sochiin lafaa hin taʼin waggaa lama dura waaʼee Israaʼel argee dha.
2 And he said, The Lord will roar from Zion, and utter his voice from Jerusalem; and the habitations of the shepherds shall mourn, and the top of Carmel shall wither.
Innis akkana jedhe: “Waaqayyo Xiyoon keessaa iyya; Yerusaalem keessaa sagalee dhageessisa; dirreen tiksoonni itti bobbaasan ni goga; fiixeen gaara Qarmeloosis ni coollaga.”
3 Thus saith the Lord; For three transgressions of Damascus, and for four, I will not turn away the punishment thereof; because they have threshed Gilead with threshing instruments of iron:
Waaqayyo akkana jedha: “Ani cubbuu Damaasqoo sadiif, afuriifis dheekkamsa koo duubatti hin deebisu. Sababii isaan meeshaa ittiin midhaan dhaʼan kan ilkaan sibiilaa qabuun Giliʼaadin tumaniif,
4 But I will send a fire into the house of Hazael, which shall devour the palaces of Ben-hadad.
ani ibidda daʼannoo Ben-Hadaad barbadeessu tokko, mana Hazaaʼeelitti nan erga.
5 I will break also the bar of Damascus, and cut off the inhabitant from the plain of Aven, and him that holdeth the sceptre from the house of Eden: and the people of Syria shall go into captivity unto Kir, saith the Lord.
Ani karra Damaasqoo nan cabsa; mootii Sulula Aawwen keessa jiruu fi isa Beet Eden keessatti bokkuu qabatu nan balleessa. Uummanni Sooriyaa boojiʼamee Qiiritti ni geeffama” jedha Waaqayyo.
6 Thus saith the Lord; For three transgressions of Gaza, and for four, I will not turn away the punishment thereof; because they carried away captive the whole captivity, to deliver them up to Edom:
Waaqayyo akkana jedha: “Ani cubbuu Gaazaa sadiif, afuriifis dheekkamsa koo duubatti hin deebisu. Sababii isheen hawaasa hunda boojitee Edoomitti gurguratteef,
7 But I will send a fire on the wall of Gaza, which shall devour the palaces thereof:
ani ibidda daʼannoo ishee barbadeessu tokko dallaa Gaazaatti nan erga.
8 And I will cut off the inhabitant from Ashdod, and him that holdeth the sceptre from Ashkelon, and I will turn mine hand against Ekron: and the remnant of the Philistines shall perish, saith the Lord God.
Ani mootii Ashdoodii fi isa Ashqaloon keessatti bokkuu qabatu sana nan balleessa. Ani hamma hambaan Filisxeemotaa duʼuutti harka koo Eqroonitti nan deebifadha” jedha Waaqayyo Gooftaan.
9 Thus saith the Lord; For three transgressions of Tyrus, and for four, I will not turn away the punishment thereof; because they delivered up the whole captivity to Edom, and remembered not the brotherly covenant:
Waaqayyo akkana jedha: “Ani cubbuu Xiiroos sadiif, afuriifis dheekkamsa koo duubatti hin deebisu. Sababii isheen walii galtee obbolummaa cabsitee hawaasa boojiʼame guutuu Edoomitti gurguratteef
10 But I will send a fire on the wall of Tyrus, which shall devour the palaces thereof.
ani ibidda daʼannoo ishee barbadeessu tokko dallaa Xiiroositti nan erga.”
11 Thus saith the Lord; For three transgressions of Edom, and for four, I will not turn away the punishment thereof; because he did pursue his brother with the sword, and did cast off all pity, and his anger did tear perpetually, and he kept his wrath for ever:
Waaqayyo akkana jedha: “Ani cubbuu Edoom sadiif, afuriifis dheekkamsa koo duubatti hin deebisu. Sababii inni gara laafina hunda gatee obboleessa isaa goraadeedhaan ariʼeef, sababii aariin isaa ittuma fufee hoʼee dheekkamsi isaas utuu hin dhowwamin bobaʼeef,
12 But I will send a fire upon Teman, which shall devour the palaces of Bozrah.
ani ibidda daʼannoo Bozraa barbadeessu tokko Teemaanitti nan erga.”
13 Thus saith the Lord; For three transgressions of the children of Ammon, and for four, I will not turn away the punishment thereof; because they have ripped up the women with child of Gilead, that they might enlarge their border:
Waaqayyo akkana jedha: “Ani cubbuu Amoon sadiif, afuriifis dheekkamsa koo duubatti hin deebisu. Sababii inni daangaa isaa babalʼifachuuf jedhee dubartoota Giliʼaad kanneen ulfa qaban baqaqseef
14 But I will kindle a fire in the wall of Rabbah, and it shall devour the palaces thereof, with shouting in the day of battle, with a tempest in the day of the whirlwind:
ani guyyaa lolaatti wacaan, guyyaa qilleensa hamaatti immoo bubbee jabaadhaan ibidda daʼannoo ishee barbadeessu tokko dallaa Rabbaatti nan erga.
15 And their king shall go into captivity, he and his princes together, saith the Lord.
Mootiin ishee boojiʼamee innii fi qondaaltonni isaa wajjin ni boojiʼamu” jedha Waaqayyo.
