< Amos 1 >

1 Words of Amos—who has been among herdsmen of Tekoa—that he has seen concerning Israel, in the days of Uzziah king of Judah, and in the days of Jeroboam son of Joash king of Israel, two years before the shaking;
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 says, “YHWH roars from Zion, And gives forth His voice from Jerusalem, And pastures of the shepherds have mourned, And the top of Carmel has withered!”
Innis akkana jedhe: “Waaqayyo Xiyoon keessaa iyya; Yerusaalem keessaa sagalee dhageessisa; dirreen tiksoonni itti bobbaasan ni goga; fiixeen gaara Qarmeloosis ni coollaga.”
3 And thus said YHWH: “For three transgressions of Damascus, And for four, I do not reverse it, Because of their threshing Gilead with sharp-pointed irons,
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 And I have sent a fire against the house of Hazael, And it has consumed the palaces of Ben-Hadad.
ani ibidda daʼannoo Ben-Hadaad barbadeessu tokko, mana Hazaaʼeelitti nan erga.
5 And I have broken the bar of Damascus, And cut off the inhabitant from Bikat-Aven, And a holder of a scepter from Beth-Eden, And the people of Aram have been removed to Kir,” said YHWH.
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 said YHWH: “For three transgressions of Gaza, And for four, I do not reverse it, Because of their removing a complete captivity, To deliver up to Edom,
Waaqayyo akkana jedha: “Ani cubbuu Gaazaa sadiif, afuriifis dheekkamsa koo duubatti hin deebisu. Sababii isheen hawaasa hunda boojitee Edoomitti gurguratteef,
7 And I have sent a fire against the wall of Gaza, And it has consumed her palaces;
ani ibidda daʼannoo ishee barbadeessu tokko dallaa Gaazaatti nan erga.
8 And I have cut off the inhabitant from Ashdod, And a holder of a scepter from Ashkelon, And have turned back My hand against Ekron, And the remnant of the Philistines have perished,” said Lord YHWH.
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 said YHWH: “For three transgressions of Tyre, And for four, I do not reverse it, Because of their delivering up a complete captivity to Edom, And they did not remember 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 And I have sent a fire against the wall of Tyre, And it has consumed her palaces.”
ani ibidda daʼannoo ishee barbadeessu tokko dallaa Xiiroositti nan erga.”
11 Thus said YHWH: “For three transgressions of Edom, And for four, I do not reverse it, Because of his pursuing his brother with a sword, And he has destroyed his mercies, And his anger tears continuously, And his wrath—he has kept it forever,
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 And I have sent a fire against Teman, And it has consumed palaces of Bozrah.”
ani ibidda daʼannoo Bozraa barbadeessu tokko Teemaanitti nan erga.”
13 Thus said YHWH: “For three transgressions of the sons of Ammon, And for four, I do not reverse it, Because of their ripping up the pregnant ones of Gilead, To 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 And I have kindled a fire against the wall of Rabbah, And it has consumed her palaces, With a shout in a day of battle, With a whirlwind in a day of windstorm,
ani guyyaa lolaatti wacaan, guyyaa qilleensa hamaatti immoo bubbee jabaadhaan ibidda daʼannoo ishee barbadeessu tokko dallaa Rabbaatti nan erga.
15 And their king has gone in a removal, He and his heads together,” said YHWH!
Mootiin ishee boojiʼamee innii fi qondaaltonni isaa wajjin ni boojiʼamu” jedha Waaqayyo.
