Amos 4
1 Listen to this word, you cows of Bashan, who are on the mountain of Samaria, who oppress the poor, who crush the needy, who tell their husbands, "Bring us something to drink."
Isin yaa saawwan Baashaan kanneen Tulluu Samaariyaa irra jirtan, yaa dubartoota, isin warri hiyyeeyyii fi rakkattoota cunqursitanii dhirsoota keessaniin, “Dhugaatii nuuf fidaa!” jettan dubbii kana dhagaʼaa.
2 The LORD has sworn by his holiness: "Look, the days shall come on you that they will take you away with hooks, and the last of you with fish hooks.
Waaqayyo Gooftaan akkana jedhee qulqullummaa isaatiin kakateera: “Yeroon isin itti hokkoodhaan, isin keessaa namni dhumaa immoo qabduu qurxummiitiin qabamu tokko dhugumaan ni dhufa.
3 You will go out at the breaks in the wall, everyone straight before her; and you will cast yourselves into Harmon," says the LORD.
Isin tokko tokkoon qajeeltanii qaawwa dallaatiin ni baatu; gara Harmoonittis ni darbatamtu” jedha Waaqayyo.
4 "Go to Bethel, and sin; to Gilgal, and sin more. Bring your sacrifices every morning, your tithes every three days,
“Beetʼeel dhaqaatii cubbuu hojjedhaa; Gilgaal dhaqaatii cubbuu baayʼee hojjedhaa. Ganama ganama aarsaa keessan dhiʼeessaa; waggaa sadii sadiitti immoo kennaa keessan harka kudhan keessaa harka tokko fidaa.
5 offer a sacrifice of thanksgiving of that which is leavened, and proclaim free will offerings and brag about them: for this pleases you, you children of Israel," says the LORD.
Buddeena raacitii qabu aarsaa galataa godhaatii gubaa; aarsaa fedhiidhaan kennitan labsaa; beeksisaas; yaa Israaʼeloota, wanni isin hojjechuu jaallattan kanaatii, ittiin boonaa” jedha Waaqayyo Gooftaan.
6 "I also have given you cleanness of teeth in all your cities, and lack of bread in every town; yet you haven't returned to me," says the LORD.
“Ani magaalaa hunda keessatti garaa duwwaa isiniif kenneera; magaalaa hunda keessattis buddeena isin dhabsiiseera; isin garuu gara kootti hin deebine” jedha Waaqayyo.
7 "I also have withheld the rain from you, when there were yet three months to the harvest; and I caused it to rain on one city, and caused it not to rain on another city. One place was rained on, and the piece where it did not rain withered.
“Ani yeroo midhaan haamamuuf jiʼi sadii hafutti bokkaa isin irraa nan kute. Ani magaalaa tokkotti bokkaa ergee kaan irraa immoo nan dhaabe. Lafti qonnaa tokko bokkaa argatee kaan garuu homaa dhabee goge.
8 So two or three cities staggered to one city to drink water, and were not satisfied: yet you haven't returned to me," says the LORD.
Uummanni bishaan barbaacha magaalaadhaa gara magaalaatti joore; garuu waan dhugaatiif isa gaʼu hin arganne; taʼus isin gara kootti hin deebine” jedha Waaqayyo.
9 "I struck you with blight and mildew many times in your gardens and your vineyards; and your fig trees and your olive trees have the swarming locust devoured: yet you haven't returned to me," says the LORD.
“Ani yeroo hedduu iddoo biqiltuutii fi wayinii keessan waagii fi awwaaroodhaan dhaʼeen balleesse. Hawwaannisni harbuu fi ejersa keessan barbadeesse; taʼus isin gara kootti hin deebine” jedha Waaqayyo.
10 "I sent plagues among you like I did Egypt. I have slain your young men with the sword, and have carried away your horses; and I filled your nostrils with the stench of your camp, yet you haven't returned to me," says the LORD.
“Ani akkuman biyya Gibxi godhe sana dhaʼicha isinitti nan erge. Ani fardeen isin boojitan wajjin dargaggoota keessan goraadeedhaan nan fixe. Ajaa qubata keessaniitiin funyaan keessan nan guute; isin garuu gara kootti hin deebine” jedha Waaqayyo.
11 "I have overthrown some of you, as when God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah, and you were like a burning stick plucked out of the fire; yet you haven't returned to me," says the LORD.
“Ani akkuman Sodoomii fi Gomoraa garagalche sana isin keessaa nama tokko tokko garagalcheera. Isin akkuma muka bobaʼu kan ibidda keessaa butamee ti; taʼus isin gara kootti hin deebine” jedha Waaqayyo.
12 "Therefore thus will I do to you, Israel; because I will do this to you, prepare to meet your God, Israel.
“Kanaafuu yaa Israaʼel, ani akkanan isin godha; sababii ani akkana isin godhuuf yaa Israaʼel Waaqa kee arguuf qophaaʼi.”
13 For, look, he who forms the mountains, and creates the wind, and declares to man what is his thought; who makes the morning darkness, and treads on the high places of the earth: The LORD, the God of hosts, is his name."
Inni tulluuwwan tolchee bubbee uumee yaada isaa namatti mulʼisu sun, inni barii dukkaneessee iddoowwan lafa ol kaʼoo irra ejjetu sun, maqaan isaa Waaqayyo, Waaqa Waan Hunda Dandaʼuu dha.
