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 Jehovah has spoken against you, children of Israel, against the whole family which I brought up out of 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.
"You only have I chosen of all the families of the earth. Therefore I will punish you for all of your sins."
3 Agkuyog kadi a magna ti dua a tao no saanda a nagtulag?
Do two walk together, unless they have agreed?
4 Agngernger kadi ti leon idiay kabakiran no awan biktimana? Agngernger kadi ti urbon a leon idiay rukibna no awan nakemmegna?
Will a lion roar in the thicket, when he has no prey? Does a young lion cry out of his den, if he has caught nothing?
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?
Can a bird fall in a trap on the earth, where no snare is set for him? Does a snare spring up from the ground, when there is nothing to catch?
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?
Does the trumpet alarm sound in a city, without the people being afraid? Does disaster happen to a city, unless Jehovah has done it?
7 Awan duadua a saan nga agtignay ni Yahweh nga Apo no saanna pay nga impakaammo ti panggepna kadagiti adipenna a profeta.
Surely Jehovah will do nothing, unless he reveals his secret to his servants the prophets.
8 Nagngernger ti leon; siasino ti saan nga agbuteng? Nagsao ni Yahweh nga Apo; siasino ti saan a mangipadto?
The lion has roared. Who will not fear? Jehovah has spoken. Who can but 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.
Proclaim in the palaces at Ashdod, and in the palaces in the land of Egypt, and say, "Assemble yourselves on the mountain of Samaria, and see what unrest is in her, and what oppression is among them."
10 Gapu ta saanda nga ammo ti agaramid iti nalinteg”—daytoy ti imbaga ni Yahweh—”Agur-urnongda iti kinaranggas ken pannakadadael kadagiti sarikedkedda.”
"Indeed they do not know to do right," says Jehovah, "Who hoard plunder and loot 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 says Jehovah: "An adversary will surround the land; and he will pull down your strongholds, and your fortresses will be plundered."
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 says Jehovah: "As the shepherd rescues out of the mouth of the lion two legs, or a piece of an ear, so shall the children of Israel be rescued who sit in Samaria on the corner of a couch, and on the silken cushions of a bed."
13 Dumngegkayo ken agsaksikayo maibusor iti balay ni Jacob —kastoy ti impakaammo ti Apo a Yahweh, ti Dios a mannakabalin amin.
"Listen, and testify against the house of Jacob," says Jehovah, the 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 that I visit the transgressions of Israel on him, I will also visit the altars of Bethel; and the horns of the altar will be cut off, and fall to the ground.
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.
I will strike the winter house with the summer house; and the houses of ivory will perish, and the great houses will have an end," says Jehovah.
