Amosa 2

1 Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah: Noho ny fahotana telon’ i Moaba, eny, efatra aza, dia tsy havelako izy, satria nodorany ho sokay ny taolan’ ny mpanjakan’ i Edoma;

Thus hath said the Lord, For three transgressions of Moab, and for four, will I not turn away their punishment; because he burnt the bones of the king of Edom into lime;

2 Fa hataoko afo ao Moaba, ka handevona ny tranoben’ i Kiriota izany; Ary Moaba ho faty amin’ ny tabataba sy amin’ ny akora ary ny fanenon’ ny anjomara;

And I will send a fire against Moab, which shall devour the palaces of Keriyoth: and Moab shall die in the tumult, in the shouting, amidst the sound of the cornet;

3 Ary hofoanako tsy hisy mpitsara ao aminy, ary hiaraka hovonoiko izy sy ireo mpanapaka rehetra ao aminy, hoy Jehovah.

And I will cut off the judges from her midst, and all her princes will I slay, with him, saith the Lord.

4 Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah: Noho ny fahotana telon’ i Joda, eny, efatra aza, dia tsy havelako izy, satria nataony tsinontsinona ny lalàn’ i Jehovah, ary ny didiny tsy notandremany, ary nampahadiso azy ny laingany, izay fanaon’ ny razany;

Thus hath said the Lord, For three transgressions of Judah, and for four, will I not turn away their punishment; because they have despised the law of the Lord, and did not keep his statutes, and their lying idols caused them to err, after which their fathers had walked;

5 Fa haterako afo ao Joda, ka handevona ny tranoben’ i Jerosalema izany.

And I will send out a fire against Judah, which shall devour the palaces of Jerusalem.

6 Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah: Noho ny fahotana telon’ Isiraely, eny, efatra aza, dia tsy havelako izy, satria namidiny volafotsy ny olona marina sy kapa iray lomisy ny malahelo,

Thus hath said the Lord, For three transgressions of Israel, and for four, will I not turn away their punishment; because they sold for silver the righteous, and the needy for a pair of shoes;

7 Ary mihanahana mitsiriritra ny vovo-tany eo an-dohan’ ny malahelo izy sady mamily ny alehan’ ny mpandefitra, ary olona mianaka dia samy mandry amin’ ny zazavavy iray ihany mba handoto ny anarako masìna;

That are eager after the dust of the earth on the head of the poor, and turn aside the way of the meek: and a man and his father will go in unto the same young woman, in order to profane my holy name.

8 Amin’ ny lamba azony tamin’ ny tsatòka izy no mitsilailay eny anilan’ ny alitara rehetra, ary misotro divay novidina tamin’ ny sazy ao an-tranon’ ireo andriamaniny izy.

And upon pledged garments they stretch themselves out by every altar, and the wine of the condemned do they drink in the house of their gods.

9 Nefa Izaho no nandringana ny Amorita teo anoloany, dia olona izay lava tsanganana toy ny hazo sedera sy natanjaka toy ny ôka; Eny, nosimbako ny voany teny ambony sy ny fatany tao ambany.

Yet have I destroyed the Emorite from before them, whose height was like the height of cedars, and who was strong as the oaks; but I destroyed his fruit from above, and his roots from beneath.

10 Ary Izaho no nitondra anareo niakatra avy tany amin’ ny tany Egypta sady nitari-dalana anareo efa-polo taona tany an-efitra, mba handovanareo ny tanin’ ny Amorita,

And it was I who have brought you up from the land of Egypt, and led you forty years through the wilderness, to take possession of the land of the Emorite.

11 Ary ny zanakalahinareo nisy natsangako ho mpaminany, ary ny zatovonareo ho Nazirita. Tsy izany va no izy, ry Zanak’ Isiraely? hoy Jehovah.

And I have raised up of your sons for prophets, and of your young men for nazarites: is it not even thus, O ye children of Israel? saith the Lord.

12 Kanjo nampisotroinareo divay ny Nazirita, ary ny mpaminany noraranareo hoe: Aza maminany.

But ye have given the nazarites wine to drink; and concerning the prophets have ye commanded, saying, Ye shall not prophesy.

13 Indro, Izaho no hitambesatra aminareo toy ny fitambesatry ny sariety feno amboara.

Behold, I press down [the ground] under you, as the wagon presseth [it] down that is full of sheaves.

14 Koa tsy ho afa-mandositra ny faingam-pandeha, ny mahery tsy hampiseho hery, ary ny lehilahy mahery tsy hahavonjy ny ainy;

And refuge shall vanish from the swift, and the strong shall not make use of his force, neither shall the mighty man escape with his life.

15 Izay mitana tsipìka tsy hahajanona, ary ny faingan-tongotra tsy hahavonjy tena, izay mitaingin-tsoavaly tsy hahavonjy ny ainy;

And he that handleth the bow shall not be able to stand; and he that is swift of foot shall not escape: neither shall he that rideth the horse escape with his life.

16 Ary na dia izay sahy ao amin’ ny mahery aza dia handositra mitanjaka amin’ izany andro izany, hoy Jehovah.

And he that is most courageous hearted among the mighty shall flee away naked on that day, saith the Lord.
