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,

Dengarlah firman ini, yang diucapkan TUHAN tentang kamu, hai orang Israel, tentang segenap kaum yang telah Kutuntun keluar dari tanah Mesir, bunyinya:

2 “Only you have I known of all families of the earth, Therefore I charge on you all your iniquities.”

"Hanya kamu yang Kukenal dari segala kaum di muka bumi, sebab itu Aku akan menghukum kamu karena segala kesalahanmu.

3 Do two walk together if they have not met?

Berjalankah dua orang bersama-sama, jika mereka belum berjanji?

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?

Mengaumkah seekor singa di hutan, apabila tidak mendapat mangsa? Bersuarakah singa muda dari sarangnya, jika belum menangkap apa-apa?

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?

Jatuhkah seekor burung ke dalam perangkap di tanah, apabila tidak ada jerat terhadapnya? Membingkaskah perangkap dari tanah, jika tidak ditangkapnya sesuatu?

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]?

Adakah sangkakala ditiup di suatu kota, dan orang-orang tidak gemetar? Adakah terjadi malapetaka di suatu kota, dan TUHAN tidak melakukannya?

7 For Lord YHWH does nothing, Except He has revealed His counsel to His servants the prophets.

Sungguh, Tuhan ALLAH tidak berbuat sesuatu tanpa menyatakan keputusan-Nya kepada hamba-hamba-Nya, para nabi.

8 A lion has roared—who does not fear? Lord YHWH has spoken—who does not prophesy?

Singa telah mengaum, siapakah yang tidak takut? Tuhan ALLAH telah berfirman, siapakah yang tidak bernubuat?"

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.

Siarkanlah di dalam puri di Asyur dan di dalam puri di tanah Mesir serta katakan: "Berkumpullah di gunung-gunung dekat Samaria dan pandanglah kekacauan besar yang ada di tengah-tengahnya dan pemerasan yang ada di kota itu."

10 And they have not known to act straightforwardly,” A declaration of YHWH, “Who are treasuring up violence and spoil in their palaces.”

"Mereka tidak tahu berbuat jujur," demikianlah firman TUHAN, "mereka itu yang menimbun kekerasan dan aniaya di dalam purinya."

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.”

Sebab itu beginilah firman Tuhan ALLAH: "Musuh akan ada di sekeliling negeri, kekuatanmu akan ditanggalkannya dari padamu, dan purimu akan dijarahi!"

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.

Beginilah firman TUHAN: "Seperti seorang gembala melepaskan dari mulut singa dua tulang betis atau potongan telinga, demikianlah orang Israel yang diam di Samaria akan dilepaskan seperti sebagian dari katil dan seperti sepenggal dari kaki balai-balai."

13 Hear and testify to the house of Jacob,” A declaration of Lord YHWH, God of Hosts.

"Dengarlah, dan peringatkanlah kaum keturunan Yakub," demikianlah firman Tuhan ALLAH, Allah semesta alam,

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.

"bahwa pada waktu Aku menghukum Israel karena perbuatan-perbuatannya yang jahat, Aku akan melakukan hukuman kepada mezbah-mezbah Betel, sehingga tanduk-tanduk mezbah itu dipatahkan dan jatuh ke tanah.

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!

Aku akan merobohkan balai musim dingin beserta balai musim panas; hancurlah rumah-rumah gading, dan habislah rumah-rumah gedang," demikianlah firman TUHAN.
