< Amos 3 >

1 Hear this word that YHWH has spoken concerning you, O sons of Israel, concerning all the family that I brought up from the land of Egypt, saying,
Dakayo a tattao ti Israel, denggenyo daytoy a sao nga imbalikas ni Yahweh maibusor kadakayo, maibusor iti sibubukel a pamilia nga inruarko iti daga ti Egipto,
2 “Only you have I known of all families of the earth, Therefore I charge on you all your iniquities.”
dakayo laeng ti pinilik manipud kadagiti amin a pamilia iti daga. Isu a dusaenkayonto gapu iti amin a nagbasolanyo.
3 Do two walk together if they have not met?
Agkuyog kadi a magna ti dua a tao no saanda a nagtulag?
4 Does a lion roar in a forest and he has no prey? Does a young lion give out his voice from his habitation, If he has not caught?
Agngernger kadi ti leon idiay kabakiran no awan biktimana? Agngernger kadi ti urbon a leon idiay rukibna no awan nakemmegna?
5 Does a bird fall into a snare of the earth, And there is no trap for it? Does a snare go up from the ground, And it does not capture prey?
Matiliw kadi ti billit iti palab-og nga adda iti daga no awan iti appan a naikabil para iti daytoy? Agpangato kadi ti silo manipud iti daga no awan nasiloanna?
6 Is a horn blown in a city, And do people not tremble? Is there affliction in a city, And YHWH has not done [it]?
No aguni ti trumpeta iti maysa a siudad, saan kadi nga agtigerger dagiti tattao? Umay kadi ti didigra iti maysa a siudad no saan nga inyeg ni Yahweh daytoy?
7 For Lord YHWH does nothing, Except He has revealed His counsel to His servants the prophets.
Awan duadua a saan nga agtignay ni Yahweh nga Apo no saanna pay nga impakaammo ti panggepna kadagiti adipenna a profeta.
8 A lion has roared—who does not fear? Lord YHWH has spoken—who does not prophesy?
Nagngernger ti leon; siasino ti saan nga agbuteng? Nagsao ni Yahweh nga Apo; siasino ti saan a mangipadto?
9 “Sound to palaces in Ashdod, And to palaces in the land of Egypt, and say: Be gathered on mountains of Samaria, And see many troubles within her, And oppressed ones in her midst.
Iwaragawagyo daytoy kadagiti sarikedked idiay Asdod, ken kadagiti sarikedked idiay daga ti Egipto; ibagayo: “Aguummongkayo kadagiti banbantay ti Samaria ket kitaenyo ti dakkel a riribok nga adda kenkuana ken ti pannakaidadanes nga adda kenkuana.
10 And they have not known to act straightforwardly,” A declaration of YHWH, “Who are treasuring up violence and spoil in their palaces.”
Gapu ta saanda nga ammo ti agaramid iti nalinteg”—daytoy ti imbaga ni Yahweh—”Agur-urnongda iti kinaranggas ken pannakadadael kadagiti sarikedkedda.”
11 Therefore, thus said Lord YHWH: “An adversary—and surrounding the land, And he has brought down your strength from you, And your palaces have been spoiled.”
Isu a kastoy ti ibagbaga ni Yahweh nga Apo: “Palawlawanto ti kabusor ti daga. Rebbaenanto dagiti sarikedkedmo ken samsamannanto dagiti sarikedkedmo.”
12 Thus said YHWH: “As the shepherd delivers from the lion’s mouth Two legs, or a piece of an ear, So the sons of Israel are delivered, Who are sitting in Samaria on the corner of a bed, And in Damascus [on that of] a couch.
Kastoy ti kuna ni Yahweh: “Kas iti panangispal ti agpaspastor iti dua laeng a saka wenno maysa a lapayag manipud iti ngiwat iti leon kastanto met iti pannakaispal dagiti Israelita nga agnanaed iti Samaria, ket ti suli laeng iti sofa wenno maysa laeng a pidaso ti ap-ap ti kama ti maisalbarda.”
13 Hear and testify to the house of Jacob,” A declaration of Lord YHWH, God of Hosts.
Dumngegkayo ken agsaksikayo maibusor iti balay ni Jacob —kastoy ti impakaammo ti Apo a Yahweh, ti Dios a mannakabalin amin.
14 “For in the day of My charging the transgressions of Israel on him, I have laid a charge on the altars of Beth-El, And the horns of the altar have been cut off, And they have fallen to the earth.
“Ta iti aldaw a dusaek ti basbasol ti Israel, dusaekto met dagiti altar ti Betel. Maputedto dagiti sara ti altar ket matnagto dagitoy iti daga.
15 And I have struck the winter-house with the summer-house, And houses of ivory have perished, And many houses have been consumed,” A declaration of YHWH!
Dadaelekto ti balay a pagtataenganda iti panawen iti lam-ek ken ti balayda iti kalgaw. Madadaelto dagiti balay a marfil, ken mapukawto dagiti dadakkel a babbalay,” —daytoy ti imbaga ni Yahweh.
