Amos 3
1 Hear ye this word, which Yahweh hath spoken, concerning you, ye sons of Israel, —concerning the whole family which I brought up out of the land of Egypt saying: —
Henoy izao teny izao, izay lazain’ i Jehovah ny aminareo, ry Zanak’ Isiraely, dia ny amin’ io taranaka rehetra nentiko niakatra avy tany amin’ ny tany Egypta io:
2 Only you, have I acknowledged, of all the families of the ground, For this cause, will I visit upon you all your iniquities.
Hianareo ihany no fantatro tamin’ ny firenena rehetra ambonin’ ny tany, koa noho izany dia hovaliako ianareo noho ny helokareo rehetra.
3 Can two walk together, —except they meet?
Ho tafara-dalana va ny roa, raha tsy efa nifanaiky?
4 Will a lion roar in the forest, when, prey, he hath none? Will a young lion utter his voice out of his den, when he hath made no capture?
Mierona any an’ ala va ny liona, raha tsy mahita toha? Manerona ao an-davany va ny liona tanora, raha tsy mahazo zavatra?
5 Will a bird fall upon a net to the earth, when there is no, snare, for it? Will a net rise from the ground, when it hath, captured nothing?
Voan’ ny fandrika etỳ an-tany va ny vorona, raha tsy nisy tadivavarana? Mikatona va ny fandrika, raha tsy mahavoa zavatra?
6 Or a horn be blown in a city, and, a people, not tremble? Or calamity happen in a city, and, Yahweh, not have wrought with effect?
Tsofina va ao an-tanàna ny anjomara, ka tsy hatahotra ny vahoaka? Misy loza ao an-tanàna va, raha tsy Jehovah no nahatonga izany?
7 Surely My Lord Yahweh, will do, nothing, —except he have disclosed his secret unto his servants, the prophets!
Tsy manao na inona na inona tokoa Jehovah Tompo, raha tsy milaza ny heviny amin’ ny mpaminany mpanompony.
8 A lion, hath roared, Who will not fear? My Lord Yahweh, hath spoken, Who can forbear to prophesy?
Ny liona no mierona, ka iza no tsy hatahotra? Jehovah Tompo no miteny, ka iza no tsy haminany?
9 Announce it over the palaces in Ashdod, and over the palaces in the land of Egypt, —and say ye—Gather yourselves together upon the mountains of Samaria, and behold ye—the great disorders in the midst thereof, and the oppressed within her.
Ambarao ao an-tranoben’ i Asdoda sy ao an-tranobe any amin’ ny tany Egypta, ka ataovy hoe: Miangona any an-tendrombohitr’ i Samaria ianareo, ary jereo ny tabataba be ao aminy sy ny fampahoriana ao anatiny.
10 Therefore do they not know how to do right, Declareth Yahweh, who are treasuring up violence and spoil in their palaces.
Fa tsy mahalala hanao ny marina izy ireo, hoy Jehovah, dia ireo izay mitahiry fandozana sy roba ao an-tranobeny.
11 Therefore—Thus, saith My Lord, Yahweh, An adversary! Yea round about the land, —and he who shall bring down, from thee, thy strength, And spoiled shall be thy palaces.
Koa izao no lazain’ i Jehovah Tompo: He, misy fahavalo manodidina ny tany! Hazerany ho afaka aminao ny herinao, ary hobaboina ny tranobenao.
12 Thus, saith Yahweh, Just as a shepherd rescueth, out of the mouth of the lion, a couple of shankbones, or the tip of an ear, so, shall be rescued the sons of Israel, who are tarrying in Samaria, in the corner of the divan, and on the damask of the luxurious couch.
Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah: Toy ny famonjin’ ny mpiandry ondry ny tongotr’ ondry roa na ny sombin-tsofina eny am-bavan’ ny liona, dia toy izany no ho famonjy ny Zanak’ Isiraely, izay mipetraka ao Samaria, eo an-jorom-parafara sy eo amin’ ny lamba fandriandriana avy any Damaskosy.
13 Hear ye and bear witness, throughout the house of Jacob, —Commandeth My Lord, Yahweh, God of hosts:
Henoinareo, ka ambarao hamelezana ny taranak’ i Jakoba, hoy ny Tompo, Jehovah, Andriamanitry ny maro:
14 That, in the day I visit the transgressions of Israel upon him, then will I punish, concerning the altars of Bethel, So shall the horns of the altar, be broken off, and they shall fall to the ground;
Amin’ ny andro hamaliako ny Isiraely noho ny fahotana ao aminy no hamaliako ny alitara ao Betela dia hokapaina ny tandroky ny alitara ka hianjera amin’ ny tany.
15 And I will smite the winter house along with the summer house, —and the houses of ivory, shall be destroyed! and the great houses, shall disappear, Declareth Yahweh.
Hamely ny trano ririnina sy ny trano fahavaratra Aho; Ary ho rava ny trano ivory, sady ho fongana ny trano maro, hoy Jehovah.
