< 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 this word, you cows of Bashan, Who [are] on the mountain of Samaria, Who are oppressing the poor, Who are bruising the needy, Who are saying to their lords: “Bring in, and we 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.
Lord YHWH has sworn by His holiness, “Behold, days are coming on you, And He has taken you away with hooks, And your posterity with fish-hooks.
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 [by] breaches you go forth, A woman before her, And you have cast down the high place,” A declaration of YHWH.
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.
“Enter Beth-El, and transgress, At Gilgal multiply transgression, And bring in your sacrifices every morning, Your tithes every third year.
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 burn a thank-offering with leaven as incense, And proclaim willing gifts, sound! For so you have loved, O sons of Israel,” A declaration of Lord YHWH.
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 also—I have given to you cleanness of teeth in all your cities, And lack of bread in all your places, And you have not turned back to Me,” A declaration of YHWH.
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.
“And I also—I have withheld from you the rain, While yet three months to harvest, And I have sent rain on one city, And on another city I do not send rain, One portion is rained on, And the portion on which it does not rain withers.
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 two or three cities have wandered, To the same city to drink water, And they are not satisfied, And you have not turned back to Me,” A declaration of YHWH.
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 have struck you with blasting and with mildew, The abundance of your gardens and of your vineyards, And of your figs, and of your olives, The palmer-worm eats, And you have not turned back to Me,” A declaration of YHWH.
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 have sent among you pestilence by the way of Egypt, I have slain your choice ones by sword, With your captive horses, And I cause the stink of your camps to come up—Even into your nostrils, And you have not turned back to Me,” A declaration of YHWH.
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 have overturned among you, Like the overturn by God of Sodom and Gomorrah, And you are as a brand delivered from a burning, And you have not turned back to Me,” A declaration of YHWH.
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 I do to you, O Israel, at last, Because this I do to you, Prepare to meet 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, the Former of mountains, and Creator of wind, And the Declarer to man what [is] His thought, He is making dawn obscurity, And is treading on high places of earth, YHWH, God of Hosts, [is] His Name!
