< Amos 4 >

1 Denggenyo daytoy a sao, dakayo a baka iti Basan, dakayo nga adda iti bantay ti Samaria, dakayo a mangidaddadanes kadagiti marigrigat, dakayo a mangparparigat kadagiti agkasapulan, dakayo a mangibagbaga kadagiti assawayo a lalaki, “Iyegandakami ti mainum.”
Hear you this word, you heifers of the land of Basan that are in the mountain of Samaria, that oppress the poor, and trample on the needy, which say to their masters, Give us that we may drink.
2 Nagsapata ni Yahweh nga Apo babaen iti kinasantona: “Kitaenyo, dumtengto kadakayo dagiti aldaw nga alaendakayto babaen kadagiti kaw-it ken dagiti nabati kadakayo babaen kadagiti banniit.
The Lord swears by his holiness, that, behold, the days come upon you, when they shall take you with weapons, and fiery destroyers shall cast those with you into boiling caldrons.
3 Rumuarkayonto babaen kadagiti rengngat iti pader ti siudad, tunggal maysa kadakayo ket rumuarto kadagitoy ket maitappuakkayonto iti Harmon —daytoy ti imbaga ni Yahweh.”
And you shall be brought forth naked in the presence of each other; and you shall be cast forth on the mountain Romman, says the Lord.
4 “Mapankayo idiay Betel ket ipapasyo ti agbasol, mapankayo idiay Gilgal ket paadoenyo dagiti basbasolyo. Iyegyo dagiti datunyo iti tunggal agsapa, dagiti apagkapulloyo iti tunggal maikatlo nga aldaw.
You went into Bethel, and sinned, and you multiplied sin at Galgala; and you brought your meat-offerings in the morning, [and] your tithes every third day.
5 Mangidatagkayo iti tinapay a kas sagut a panagyaman; iparammagyo dagiti daton a nagtaud iti nakemyo; ipablaakyo dagitoy, gapu ta daytoy ti pagragsakanyo, dakayo a tattao ti Israel—daytoy ti imbaga ni Yahweh nga Apo.
And they read the law without, and called for public professions: proclaim aloud that the children of Israel have loved these things, says the Lord.
6 “Inyegko kadakayo ti panagbisin iti amin a siudadyo ken kinakurang ti tinapay iti amin a lugaryo. Ngem saankayo a nagsubli kaniak —daytoy ti imbaga ni Yahweh.”
And I will give you dullness of teeth in all your cities, and lack of bread in all your places: yet you returned not to me, says the Lord.
7 “Saanko pay a pinagtudo idi panawen nga adda pay iti tallo a bulan sakbay iti panagaapit. Pinagtudok iti maysa a siudad, ngem saanko a pinagtudo ti dadduma siudad. Maysa a paset iti daga ti natudoan, ngem ti paset ti daga a saan a natudoan ket nagtikag.
Also I withheld from you the rain three months before the harvest: and I will rain upon one city, and on another city I will not rain: one part shall be rained upon, and the part on which I shall not rain shall be dried up.
8 Nagakar akar ti dua wenno tallo a siudad iti sabali a siudad tapno uminum, ngem saanda a napnek. Ngem saankayo a nagsubli kaniak —daytoy ti imbaga ni Yahweh.”
And [the inhabitants of] two or three cities shall be gathered to one city to drink water, and they shall not be satisfied: yet you have not returned to me, says the Lord.
9 “Pinarigatkayo gapu iti panaglaylay ken buot. Inibus dagiti dudon ti amin a minuyonganyo, dagiti kaubasanyo, dagiti kayoyo nga igos ken dagiti kayoyo nga olibo. Ngem saankayo a nagsubli kaniak— daytoy ti imbaga ni Yahweh.”
I struck you with parching, and with blight: you multiplied your gardens, your vineyards, and your fig-grounds, and the cankerworm devoured your olive yards: yet not [even] thus did you return to me, says the Lord.
10 Nangiyegak iti didigra kadakayo a kas iti inaramidko idiay Egipto. Pinatayko dagiti agtutuboyo a lalaki babaen iti kampilan, intalawko dagiti kabalioyo, impaalingasawko ti buyok iti kampoyo ket dimanun kadagiti agungyo. Ngem saankayo a nagsubli kaniak— daytoy ti imbaga ni Yahweh.”
I sent pestilence among you by the way of Egypt, and killed your young men with the sword, together with your horses that were taken captive; and in my wrath against you I set fire to your camps: yet not even thus did you return to me, says the Lord.
11 “Pinarmekko dagiti siudadyo a kas idi pinarmek ti Dios ti Sodoma ken Gomora. Kayariganyo ti sumsumged a bislak a naikkat iti apoy. Ngem saankayo a nagsubli kaniak —daytoy ti imbaga ni Yahweh.”
I overthrew you, as God overthrew Sodoma and Gomorrha, and you became as a brand plucked out of the fire: yet not even thus did you return to me, says the Lord.
12 Ngarud, nakabutbuteng ti aramidekto kadakayo, tattao ti Israel; ken gapu ta nakabutbuteng ti aramidekto kadakayo, agsaganakayo a sumango iti Diosyo, tattao ti Israel!
Therefore thus will I do to you, O Israel: nay because I will do thus to you, prepare to call on your God, O Israel.
13 Kitaenyo, ti nangaramid kadagiti bantay isuna met lang ti nangparsua ti angin, ipakpakaammona ti kapanunotanna kadagiti tattao, pagbalbalinenna a sipnget ti aldaw ken agbadbadek kadagiti nangangato a disso iti daga.” Yahweh, Dios a mannakabalin amin ti naganna.
For, behold, I am he that strengthens the thunder, and creates the wind, and proclaims to men his Christ, forming the morning and the darkness, and mounting on the high places of the earth, The Lord God Almighty is his name.
