Amos 3
1 Dakayo a tattao ti Israel, denggenyo daytoy a sao nga imbalikas ni Yahweh maibusor kadakayo, maibusor iti sibubukel a pamilia nga inruarko iti daga ti Egipto,
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,
2 dakayo laeng ti pinilik manipud kadagiti amin a pamilia iti daga. Isu a dusaenkayonto gapu iti amin a nagbasolanyo.
“Only you have I known of all families of the earth, Therefore I charge on you all your iniquities.”
3 Agkuyog kadi a magna ti dua a tao no saanda a nagtulag?
Do two walk together if they have not met?
4 Agngernger kadi ti leon idiay kabakiran no awan biktimana? Agngernger kadi ti urbon a leon idiay rukibna no awan nakemmegna?
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?
5 Matiliw kadi ti billit iti palab-og nga adda iti daga no awan iti appan a naikabil para iti daytoy? Agpangato kadi ti silo manipud iti daga no awan nasiloanna?
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?
6 No aguni ti trumpeta iti maysa a siudad, saan kadi nga agtigerger dagiti tattao? Umay kadi ti didigra iti maysa a siudad no saan nga inyeg ni Yahweh daytoy?
Is a horn blown in a city, And do people not tremble? Is there affliction in a city, And YHWH has not done [it]?
7 Awan duadua a saan nga agtignay ni Yahweh nga Apo no saanna pay nga impakaammo ti panggepna kadagiti adipenna a profeta.
For Lord YHWH does nothing, Except He has revealed His counsel to His servants the prophets.
8 Nagngernger ti leon; siasino ti saan nga agbuteng? Nagsao ni Yahweh nga Apo; siasino ti saan a mangipadto?
A lion has roared—who does not fear? Lord YHWH has spoken—who does not prophesy?
9 Iwaragawagyo daytoy kadagiti sarikedked idiay Asdod, ken kadagiti sarikedked idiay daga ti Egipto; ibagayo: “Aguummongkayo kadagiti banbantay ti Samaria ket kitaenyo ti dakkel a riribok nga adda kenkuana ken ti pannakaidadanes nga adda kenkuana.
“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.
10 Gapu ta saanda nga ammo ti agaramid iti nalinteg”—daytoy ti imbaga ni Yahweh—”Agur-urnongda iti kinaranggas ken pannakadadael kadagiti sarikedkedda.”
And they have not known to act straightforwardly,” A declaration of YHWH, “Who are treasuring up violence and spoil in their palaces.”
11 Isu a kastoy ti ibagbaga ni Yahweh nga Apo: “Palawlawanto ti kabusor ti daga. Rebbaenanto dagiti sarikedkedmo ken samsamannanto dagiti sarikedkedmo.”
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.”
12 Kastoy ti kuna ni Yahweh: “Kas iti panangispal ti agpaspastor iti dua laeng a saka wenno maysa a lapayag manipud iti ngiwat iti leon kastanto met iti pannakaispal dagiti Israelita nga agnanaed iti Samaria, ket ti suli laeng iti sofa wenno maysa laeng a pidaso ti ap-ap ti kama ti maisalbarda.”
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.
13 Dumngegkayo ken agsaksikayo maibusor iti balay ni Jacob —kastoy ti impakaammo ti Apo a Yahweh, ti Dios a mannakabalin amin.
Hear and testify to the house of Jacob,” A declaration of Lord YHWH, God of Hosts.
14 “Ta iti aldaw a dusaek ti basbasol ti Israel, dusaekto met dagiti altar ti Betel. Maputedto dagiti sara ti altar ket matnagto dagitoy iti daga.
“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.
15 Dadaelekto ti balay a pagtataenganda iti panawen iti lam-ek ken ti balayda iti kalgaw. Madadaelto dagiti balay a marfil, ken mapukawto dagiti dadakkel a babbalay,” —daytoy ti imbaga ni Yahweh.
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!
