Amosa 4
1 Mihainoa izao teny izao, ianareo vantotr’ ombivavin’ i Basana, izay eny an-tendrombohitr’ i Samaria, dia ianareo izay mampahory ny mahantra sy manorotoro ny malahelo ary manao amin’ ny vadinareo hoe: Mitondrà hosotrointsika.
Listen to this word, you cows of Bashan, you who are in the mountain of Samaria, you who oppress the poor, you who crush the needy, you who say to your husbands, “Bring us drinks.”
2 Jehovah Tompo efa nianiana tamin’ ny fahamasinany hoe: Indro, ho avy aminareo ny andro hitarihany anareo amin’ ny farango sy izay sisa aminareo amin’ ny fintana.
The Lord Yahweh has sworn by his holiness, “Look, the days will come on you when they will take you away with hooks, the last of you with fishhooks.
3 Ary avy eo amin’ ny banga no hivoahanareo, samy amin’ izay hitsiny avy; Ary horoahina ho any Harmona ianareo, hoy Jehovah.
You will go out through the breaks in the city wall, each one of you going straight through it, and you will be thrown out toward Harmon —this is Yahweh's declaration.”
4 Mankanesa any Betela, ka manotà, ary any Gilgala, ka manotà fatratra; Ento isa-maraina ny fanatitrareo alatsa-drà ary isan-kateloana ny fahafolon-karenareo;
“Go to Bethel and sin, to Gilgal and multiply sin, bring your sacrifices every morning, your tithes every three days.
5 Mandoroa zavatra misy masirasira ho fanati-pisaorana, ary miantsoa fanati-tsitrapo, eny, ambarao izany! Satria ny toy izany no sitrakareo, ry Zanak’ Isiraely, hoy Jehovah Tompo.
Offer a thanksgiving sacrifice with bread; proclaim freewill offerings; announce them, for this pleases you, you people of Israel —this is the declaration of the Lord Yahweh.
6 Fa Izaho dia efa nanome anareo ny mahamavovava tao an-tanànanareo rehetra, sy ny tsi-fahampian-kanina tamin’ ny fonenanareo rehetra; Nefa tsy niverina tamiko ihany ianareo, hoy Jehovah.
I gave you cleanness of teeth in all your cities and lack of bread in all your places. Yet you have not returned to me —this is Yahweh's declaration.
7 Ary Izaho koa efa nampihantona ny orana tsy ho aminareo, raha mbola telo volana sisa tsy ho fararano, ka tamin’ ny tanàna iray no nampilatsahako orana, ary tamin’ ny tanàna iray kosa tsy mba nampilatsahako azy; Ny saha iray nilatsahan’ ny orana. Ary ny saha iray kosa tsy mba nilatsahany ka maina.
I also withheld rain from you when there were still three months to the harvest. I caused it to rain on one city, and caused it not to rain on another city. One piece of land was rained on, but the piece of land where it did not rain dried up.
8 Dia nivembena ny tanàna roa aman-telo nitady rano tany amin’ ny tanàna iray, kanjo tsy afa-ketaheta izy; Nefa tsy niverina tamiko ihany ianareo, hoy Jehovah.
Two or three cities staggered to another city to drink water, but were not satisfied. Yet you have not returned to me —this is Yahweh's declaration.
9 Efa nasiako tamin’ ny vary main’ ny rivotra sy maty fotsy ianareo; Ny habetsahan’ ny tanimbolinareo sy ny tanim-boalobokareo sy ny aviavinareo sy ny hazo olivanareo dia nohanin’ ny valala; Nefa tsy niverina tamiko ihany ianareo, hoy Jehovah.
I afflicted you with blight and mildew. The multitude of your gardens, your vineyards, your fig trees, and your olive trees— the locusts devoured them all. Yet you have not returned to me —this is Yahweh's declaration.
10 Efa naterako areti-mandringana tahaka ny any Egypta ianareo; Novonoiko sabatra ny zatovonareo sady nobaboina koa ny soavalinareo; Ary nampakariko ho eo am-bavoronareo ny hamaimboan’ ny tobinareo; Nefa tsy niverina tamiko ihany ianareo, hoy Jehovah.
I sent a plague on you as on Egypt. I killed your young men with the sword, carried away your horses, and made the stench of your camp come up to your nostrils. Yet you have not returned to me —this is Yahweh's declaration.
11 Efa nisy noravako teo aminareo tahaka ny nandravan’ Andriamanitra an’ i Sodoma sy Gomora, ka efa tahaka ny forohana nosarihana tamin’ ny afo ianareo; Nefa tsy niverina tamiko ihany ianareo, hoy Jehovah.
I overthrew cities among you, as when God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah. You were like a burning stick snatched out of the fire. Yet you have not returned to me —this is Yahweh's declaration.
12 Koa izao no hataoko aminao, sy Isiraely, satria hanao izany aminao Aho, dia miomàna hihaona amin’ Andriamanitrao, ry Isiraely ô.
Therefore I will do something terrible to you, Israel; and because I will do something terrible to you, prepare to meet your God, Israel!
13 Fa indro Ilay mamorona ny tendrombohitra sy manao na rivotra ary mampahafantatra ny olombelona izay heviny, dia Ilay mahatonga ny maraina ho aizina ary mandia ny fitoerana avo amin’ ny tany: Jehovah, Andriamanitry ny maro, no anarany.
For, look, he who forms the mountains also creates the wind, reveals his thoughts to mankind, makes the morning darkness, and treads on the high places of the earth. Yahweh, God of hosts, is his name.”
