< 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: —
Mijanjiña ty nitsarà’ Iehovà ry ana’ Israeleo, ry hene foko nakareko an-tane’ i Mitsraimeo, ami’ty hoe:
2 Only you, have I acknowledged, of all the families of the ground, For this cause, will I visit upon you all your iniquities.
Inahareo avao ty napotako amo kila foko ty tane toio; aa le fonga havaleko ama’ areo o hakeo’ areoo.
3 Can two walk together, —except they meet?
Mahay miharo lia hao ty roe naho tsy milahatse hey?
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?
Hitroñe añ’ala ao hao ty liona naho tsy aman-tsàtsa’e? Hañaolo boak’ an-dakato’e ao hao ty liona tora’e naho tsy nahatsepake?
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?
Mete hikoropok’ am-pandri-bo an-tane eo hao ty voroñe, naho tsy ama’e ty fitake? Hidraitse an-tane eo hao i bitsokey, ie tsy aman-ko tsepaheñe?
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?
Naho tiofeñe an-drova ao i antsivay, tsy hangebahebake hao ondatio? Ie hizò hankàñe ty rova, tsy ho sata’ Iehovà hao?
7 Surely My Lord Yahweh, will do, nothing, —except he have disclosed his secret unto his servants, the prophets!
Toe tsy hanao ndra inoñ’inoñe t’Iehovà, Talè, naho tsy borahe’e amo mpitoro’e mpitokio heike o safiri’e mietakeo.
8 A lion, hath roared, Who will not fear? My Lord Yahweh, hath spoken, Who can forbear to prophesy?
Fa nitroñe i lionay, ia ty tsy ho hembañe? Fa nitsara t’Iehovà, Talè, ia ty tsy hitoky?
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.
Tseizo amo anjomba’ i Asdodeo naho amo anjomba an-tane’ Mitsraime añeo ty hoe: mitontona am-bohi’ i Somerone eo, naho mahaisaha ty fifandraparapahañe añivo’e ao vaho o forekekeñe ama’e aoo.
10 Therefore do they not know how to do right, Declareth Yahweh, who are treasuring up violence and spoil in their palaces.
Fa tsy fohi’ iareo ty hanao ty hiti’e, hoe t’Iehovà, ie mañaja fikatramoañe, naho fampikamerañe añ’anjomba’ iareo ao.
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.
Aa hoe t’Iehovà, Talè: Hiarikatohe’ ty rafelahy i taney naho harotsa’e o hafatrara’oo, vaho ho kopahe’e o anjomba’oo.
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.
Hoe t’i Iehovà: Manahake ty añakara’ ty mpiarake ami’ty montsilin-diona ty tombo’e roe ndra ty silan-tsofi’e, ty haneseañe o ana’ Israele mimoneñe e Someroneo, reketse ty indran-tihy ndra ty tombom-pandreañe.
13 Hear ye and bear witness, throughout the house of Jacob, —Commandeth My Lord, Yahweh, God of hosts:
Mijanjiña, le asisio ty anjomba’ Iakobe, hoe t’Iehovà, Talè Andrianañahare’ i màroy;
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;
fa amy andro hañondrohako o fiolà’ Israeleoy, le ho valeako o kitreli’ i Beteleo, naho ho kitsifañe i tsifan-kitrely rey vaho hipok’ an-tane eo.
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.
Hatraoko lafa i anjomban’asaray naho i anjomban’asotriy, hikoromake ka o anjomba aman-tsifao; toe hirotsake o anjomba jabajabao, hoe t’Iehovà.
