< Amos 3 >

1 Hear this word that the LORD has spoken against you, O children of Israel, against the whole family which I brought up from the land of Egypt, saying,
Mijanjiña ty nitsarà’ Iehovà ry ana’ Israeleo, ry hene foko nakareko an-tane’ i Mitsraimeo, ami’ty hoe:
2 You only have I known of all the families of the earth: therefore I will punish you for all your iniquities.
Inahareo avao ty napotako amo kila foko ty tane toio; aa le fonga havaleko ama’ areo o hakeo’ areoo.
3 Can two walk together, except they be agreed?
Mahay miharo lia hao ty roe naho tsy milahatse hey?
4 Will a lion roar in the forest, when he has no prey? will a young lion cry out of his den, if he have taken nothing?
Hitroñe añ’ala ao hao ty liona naho tsy aman-tsàtsa’e? Hañaolo boak’ an-dakato’e ao hao ty liona tora’e naho tsy nahatsepake?
5 Can a bird fall in a snare upon the earth, where no animal trap is for him? shall one take up a snare from the earth, and have taken nothing at all?
Mete hikoropok’ am-pandri-bo an-tane eo hao ty voroñe, naho tsy ama’e ty fitake? Hidraitse an-tane eo hao i bitsokey, ie tsy aman-ko tsepaheñe?
6 Shall a trumpet be blown in the city, and the people not be afraid? shall there be evil in a city, and the LORD has not done it?
Naho tiofeñe an-drova ao i antsivay, tsy hangebahebake hao ondatio? Ie hizò hankàñe ty rova, tsy ho sata’ Iehovà hao?
7 Surely the Lord GOD will do nothing, but he reveals his secret unto his servants the prophets.
Toe tsy hanao ndra inoñ’inoñe t’Iehovà, Talè, naho tsy borahe’e amo mpitoro’e mpitokio heike o safiri’e mietakeo.
8 The lion has roared, who will not fear? the Lord GOD has spoken, who can but prophesy?
Fa nitroñe i lionay, ia ty tsy ho hembañe? Fa nitsara t’Iehovà, Talè, ia ty tsy hitoky?
9 Publish in the palaces at Ashdod, and in the palaces in the land of Egypt, and say, Assemble yourselves upon the mountains of Samaria, and behold the great tumults in the midst thereof, and the oppressed in the midst thereof.
Tseizo amo anjomba’ i Asdodeo naho amo anjomba an-tane’ Mitsraime añeo ty hoe: mitontona am-bohi’ i Somerone eo, naho mahaisaha ty fifandraparapahañe añivo’e ao vaho o forekekeñe ama’e aoo.
10 For they know not to do right, says the LORD, who store up violence and robbery in their palaces.
Fa tsy fohi’ iareo ty hanao ty hiti’e, hoe t’Iehovà, ie mañaja fikatramoañe, naho fampikamerañe añ’anjomba’ iareo ao.
11 Therefore thus says the Lord GOD; An adversary there shall be even round about the land; and he shall bring down your strength from you, and your palaces shall be spoiled.
Aa hoe t’Iehovà, Talè: Hiarikatohe’ ty rafelahy i taney naho harotsa’e o hafatrara’oo, vaho ho kopahe’e o anjomba’oo.
12 Thus says the LORD; As the shepherd takes out of the mouth of the lion two legs, or a piece of an ear; so shall the children of Israel be taken out that dwell in Samaria in the corner of a bed, and in Damascus in a couch.
Hoe t’i Iehovà: Manahake ty añakara’ ty mpiarake ami’ty montsilin-diona ty tombo’e roe ndra ty silan-tsofi’e, ty haneseañe o ana’ Israele mimoneñe e Someroneo, reketse ty indran-tihy ndra ty tombom-pandreañe.
13 Hear all of you, and testify in the house of Jacob, says the Lord GOD, the God of hosts,
Mijanjiña, le asisio ty anjomba’ Iakobe, hoe t’Iehovà, Talè Andrianañahare’ i màroy;
14 That in the day that I shall visit the transgressions of Israel upon him I will also visit the altars of Bethel: and the horns of the altar shall be cut off, and fall to the ground.
fa amy andro hañondrohako o fiolà’ Israeleoy, le ho valeako o kitreli’ i Beteleo, naho ho kitsifañe i tsifan-kitrely rey vaho hipok’ an-tane eo.
15 And I will strike the winter house with the summer house; and the houses of ivory shall perish, and the great houses shall have an end, says the LORD.
Hatraoko lafa i anjomban’asaray naho i anjomban’asotriy, hikoromake ka o anjomba aman-tsifao; toe hirotsake o anjomba jabajabao, hoe t’Iehovà.
