Amos 5
1 Hear this word that I take up as a lament over you, house of Israel.
Janjiño o entañe honjoneko ho bekom-pandalàñe ama’ areoo, ry anjomba’ Israele:
2 The virgin Israel has fallen; she will rise no more; she is forsaken on her land; there is no one to raise her up.
Nihotrake ty somondrara’ Israele; tsy hahafitroatse ka: mifitak’ an-tane’e eo avao, tsy eo ty mahaongak’ aze.
3 For this is what the Lord Yahweh says: “The city that went out with a thousand will have a hundred left, and the one that went out with a hundred will have ten left belonging to the house of Israel.”
Fa hoe ty nafè’ Iehovà, Talè: Ty rova nampionjoñe ty arivo ro hengañe zato; naho ty nampionjoñe zato ro sisàñe folo, amy anjomba’ Israeley.
4 For this is what Yahweh says to the house of Israel: “Seek me and live!
F’ie hoe ty nafè’ Iehovà amy anjomba’ Israeley: Paiavo iraho, soa t’ie ho veloñe;
5 Do not seek Bethel; nor enter Gilgal; do not journey to Beersheba. For Gilgal will surely go into captivity, and Bethel will become nothing.
Fa ko mipay i Betele, naho ko mb’e Gilgale mb’eo, vaho ko mitsake mb’e Beersèba amy te hasese mb’an-drohy añe t’i Gilgale, naho ho tanan-taolo t’i Betele.
6 Seek Yahweh and live, or he will break out like fire in the house of Joseph. It will devour, and there will be no one to quench it in Bethel.
Tsoeho t’Iehovà, soa te ho veloñe; tsy mone hisolebora’e hoe afo, ry anjomba’ Iosefe, hamorototo i Betele, ie tsy ama’e ty hahafikipek’aze.
7 Those people turn justice into a bitter thing and throw righteousness down to the ground!”
O ry mamotetse ty zaka ho vahontsoy, vaho mametsake ty havantañañe an-tane,
8 God made the Pleiades and Orion; he turns darkness into the morning; he makes the day dark with night and calls for the waters of the sea; he pours them out on the surface of the earth. Yahweh is his name!
Miandrà mb’amy Namboatse i vasiam-pito rey naho i Telo-miriritseiy; mb’amy mamalike ty fimoromoroñan-kavilasy ho maraiñey, mb’amy mampaièñe ty andro ho haleñey; mb’amy mpikanjy o ranon-driakeo hañiliña’e an-tarehe’ ty tane toiy: Iehovà ty tahina’e.
9 He brings sudden destruction on the strong so that destruction comes on the fortresses.
Ampibiloe’e amo maozatseo ty fandrotsahañe, vaho miambotrak’ amy rova fatratsey ty fandrebahañe.
10 They hate anyone who corrects them in the city gate, and they abhor anyone who speaks the truth.
Heje’ iereo ty mpañendak’ an-dalambey eo, vaho falai’ iareo ty misaontsy an-kavañonañe.
11 Because you trample down the poor and take portions of wheat from him— although you have built houses of worked stone, you will not live in them. You have delightful vineyards, but you will not drink their wine.
Aa kanao lialià’ areo o rarakeo, naho angala’ areo fehen-ampemba, naho andranjia’ areo traño am-bato vinaky, toe tsy himoneña’areo; nambolèa’ areo tanem-bahe soa, f’ie tsy hinoman-divay.
12 For I know how many are your offenses and how great are your sins— you who afflict the just, take bribes, and turn aside the needy in the city gate.
Toe apotako te maro o fandilara’ areoo naho jabajaba o ota-fali’ areo; helofa’ areo o vantañeoo, naho mangala-vokàñe, vaho ampiotahe’ areo an-dalambey eo o rarakeo.
13 Therefore any prudent person is silent at such a time, for it is an evil time.
Aa le hianjiñe avao o mahilalao amy andro zay amy te ho hekoheko i sa zay.
14 Seek good and not evil, so that you may live. So Yahweh, the God of hosts, will really be with you, as you say he is.
Paiao ty soa, fa tsy ty raty, soa te ho veloñe; vaho hañimba anahareo t’Iehovà Andrianañahare’ i màroy, ty amy saontsi’ areoy.
15 Hate evil, love good, establish justice in the city gate. Perhaps Yahweh, the God of hosts, will be gracious to the remnant of Joseph.
Hejeo ty raty naho kokò ty soa, vaho añorizo zaka to an-dalambey eo; hera hanolots’arofo amo sehanga’ Iosefeo t’Iehovà Andrianañahare.
16 Therefore, this is what Yahweh says, the God of hosts, the Lord, “Wailing will be in all the squares, and they will say in all the streets, 'Woe! Woe!' They will call the farmers to mourning and the mourners to wail.
Aa le hoe t’Iehovà, Talè Andrianañahare’ i màroy: Fangololoihañe ty ho amo lalan-drovao, vaho ho koiheñe an-damoke ey ty hoe, Hankàñe! hankàñe! le hikoke o mpihareo, handala, naho o mahay mikoiakeo, hangoihoy.
17 In all vineyards there will be wailing, for I will pass through your midst,” says Yahweh.
Le firovetañe ty ho amo tanem-bahe iabio, amy te hiranga añivo’o ao iraho, hoe t’Iehovà.
18 Woe to you who desire the day of Yahweh! Why do you long for the day of Yahweh? It will be darkness and not light,
Hankàñe ama’ areo misalala ty andro’ Iehovà! Ho inoñ’ ama’ areo ty andro’ Iehovà? Ho fimoromoroñañe fa tsy hazavàñe.
19 as when a man flees from a lion and a bear meets him, or he goes in a house and puts his hand on the wall and a snake bites him.
Manahake t’indaty mibotatsak’ ami’ty liona te mone mizò amboa romotse; ndra mizilik’ añ’anjomba ao naho miato an-drindriñe eo ty fità’e vaho tsipohe’ ty fandrefeala.
20 Will not the day of Yahweh be darkness and not light? Gloom and no brightness?
Tsy haieñe hao ty andro’ Iehovà fa tsy hazavàñe? Toe ho fimoromoroñañe fa tsy ho aman-kazavàñe ndra piti’e.
21 “I hate, I despise your festivals, I take no delight in your solemn assemblies.
Hejeko, toe mampangorý ahy o sabadida’ areo miavakeo, tsy noko o fivorim-pamantaña’ areoo.
22 Even though you offer me your burnt offerings and grain offerings, I will not accept them, neither will I look at the fellowship offerings of your fattened animals.
Aa ndra t’ie mañenga soron-koroañe rekets’ enga-mahakama amako, tsy ho noko; vaho tsy ho haoñeko o engam-pilongoa’ areoo naho o vinondra’ areoo.
23 Remove from me the noise of your songs; I will not listen to the sound of your harps.
Asitaho amako ty fikoraha’ o saboo; le tsy ho tsanoñeko ty feo fititiha’ areo.
24 Instead, let justice flow like water, and righteousness like a constantly flowing stream.
Te mone ampikararaho hoe rano ty hatò, naho hoe torahañe tsy-mai-drano ty havantañañe.
25 Did you bring me sacrifices and offerings in the wilderness for forty years, house of Israel?
Aa vaho nisoroñe naho nañenga-mahakama amako an-dratraratra añe hao nahareo tamy efa-polo taoñe zay, ry Anjomba’ Israele?
26 You have lifted up the images of Sikkuth, your king, and Kaiwan, your star god, which you made for yourselves.
Toe nibabè’ areo ty kibohom-panjàka’ areo, naho o samposampo’ areoo, i vasian-drahare nitsenè’ areoy.
27 Therefore I will exile you beyond Damascus,” says Yahweh, whose name is the God of hosts.
Aa le haseseko an-drohy mb’ankalo’ i Damesèk’ añe, hoe t’Iehovà. I Andrianañahare’ i màroy ty tahina’ey.
