Amosa 5
1 Henoinareo izao teny izao, izay entiko milaza anareo, dia hira fahalahelovana, ry taranak’ Isiraely;
Heare ye this worde, which I lift vp vpon you, euen a lamentation of the house of Israel.
2 Lavo Isiraely virijina ka tsy hahatsangana intsony; Nazera tamin’ ny taniny izy, ka tsy misy mangana azy.
The virgine Israel is fallen, and shall no more rise: shee is left vpon her lande, and there is none to raise her vp.
3 Fa izao no lazain’ i Jehovah Tompo: Izay tanàna namoaka arivo, dia, indreo, zato monja no sisa: ary izay namoaka zato, dia, indreo, folo monja no sisa ho an’ ny taranak’ Isiraely.
For thus saith ye Lord God, The citie which went out by a thousand, shall leaue an hundreth: and that which went forth by an hundreth, shall leaue ten to the house of Israel.
4 Fa izao no lazain’ i Jehovah amin’ ny taranak’ Isiraely; Tadiavo Aho, dia ho velona ianareo;
For thus saith the Lord vnto the house of Israel, Seeke ye me, and ye shall liue.
5 Fa aza mitady an’ i Betela, na mankany Gilgala, ary aza mandroso ho any Beri-sheba; Fa ho babo tokoa Gilgala, ary Betela dia ho tonga tsinontsinona.
But seeke not Beth-el, nor enter into Gilgal, and go not to Beer-sheba: for Gilgal shall goe into captiuitie, and Beth-el shall come to nought.
6 Mitadiava an’ i Jehovah, dia ho velona ianareo; Fandrao hilatsaka toy ny afo mandevona amin’ ny taranak’ i Josefa Izy, ary Betela tsy hanana izay hahafaty ny afo,
Seeke the Lord, and yee shall liue, least he breake out like fire in the house of Ioseph and deuoure it, and there be none to quench it in Beth-el.
7 Dia ianareo izay mamadika ny rariny ho zava-mahafaty ary mampiongana ny fahamarinana ho eo amin’ ny tany.
They turne iudgement to wormewood, and leaue off righteousnes in the earth.
8 Ilay nanao an’ Ikotokelimiadilaona sy ny Telonohorefy, ary mampody ny aloky ny fahafatesana ho maraina sy manamaizina ny andro ho alina, dia ilay miantso ny rano ao an-dranomasina ka mandatsaka azy amin’ ny tany: Jehovah no anarany,
He maketh Pleiades, and Orion, and he turneth the shadowe of death into the morning, and he maketh the day darke as night: he calleth the waters of the sea, and powreth them out vpon the open earth: the Lord is his Name.
9 Dia Ilay mampitselatra fandravana hamely ny mahery, ka dia mihatra amin’ ny tanàna mimanda ny fandravana.
He strengtheneth the destroyer against the mightie: and the destroyer shall come against the fortresse.
10 Halany eo am-bavahady izay mananatra, ary ataony ho fahavetavetana izay miteny ny marina.
They haue hated him, that rebuked in the gate: and they abhorred him that speaketh vprightly.
11 Koa noho ny fanitsakitsahanareo ny mahantra sy ny nampandoavanareo vary azy, dia mba nanao trano vato voapaika ihany ianareo, nefa tsy hitoetra ao aminy; Namboly tanim-boaloboka mahafinaritra ihany ianareo, nefa tsy hisotro ny divay avy aminy.
Forasmuch then as your treading is vpon the poore, and yee take from him burdens of wheate, ye haue built houses of hewen stone, but ye shall not dwel in them: ye haue plated pleasant vineyards, but ye shall not drinke wine of them.
12 Fa fantatro fa be ny helokareo, ary fatratra ny fahotanareo: Mampahory ny marina sy mandray kolikoly ianareo ary mamadika ny malahelo eo am-bavahady.
For I know your manifold transgressions, and your mightie sinnes: they afflict the iust, they take rewards, and they oppresse the poore in ye gate.
13 Koa izay manan-tsaina dia hangina amin’ izao andro izao, fa andro mampahory izao.
Therefore the prudent shall keepe silence in that time, for it is an euill time.
14 Ny tsara no tadiavo, fa aza ny ratsy, mba ho velona ianareo; Ka dia homba anareo Jehovah, Andriamanitry ny maro, araka izay efa nolazainareo.
Seeke good and not euil, that ye may liue: and the Lord God of hostes shalbe with you, as you haue spoken.
15 Ankahalao ny ratsy, ka tiavo ny tsara, ary aoreno eo am-pitsarana ny rariny; Angamba Jehovah, Andriamanitry ny maro, hamindra fo amin’ izay sisa amin’ i Josefa.
Hate the euil, and loue the good, and establish iudgement in the gate: it may bee that the Lord God of hostes will be mercifull vnto the remnant of Ioseph.
16 Koa izao no lazain’ i Jehovah Tompo, Andriamanitry ny maro: Eny an-kalalahana rehetra dia hisy fisaonana, ary eny an-dalambe rehetra dia hisy hanao hoe: Indrisy! Indrisy! Ary hiantso ny mpiasa tany hitomany izy, ary izay mahay hira fisaonana dia hantsoiny hanao.
Therfore the Lord God of hosts, the Lord saith thus, Mourning shalbe in all streetes: and they shall say in al the hie wayes, Alas, alas: and they shall call the husbandman to lamentation, and such as can mourne, to mourning.
17 Ary any amin’ ny tanim-boaloboka rehetra dia hisy fisaonana; Fa handeha hamaky eo aminao Aho, hoy Jehovah.
And in al the vines shalbe lamentation: for I wil passe through thee, saith the Lord.
18 Lozan’ izay maniry ny andron’ i Jehovah! Hataonareo inona moa ny andron’ i Jehovah? Dia aizina, fa tsy fahazavana,
Woe vnto you, that desire the day of the Lord: what haue you to do with it? the day of the Lord is darkenes and not light.
19 Tahaka ny olona mandositra ny liona ka sendra ny bera, ary rehefa tafiditra ao an-trano ka mitehin-tanana amin’ ny rindrina, dia kekerin’ ny menarana.
As if a man did flee from a lyon, and a beare met him: or went into the house, and leaned his hand on the wall, and a serpent bit him.
20 Moa tsy aizina va ny andron’ i Jehovah, fa tsy fahazavana? Tsy aizim-pito tsy misy mangirana akory va izany?
Shal not the day of the Lord be darkenes, and not light? euen darkenes and no light in it?
21 Halako, eny, laviko ny andro firavoravoanareo, ary tsy ho hanitra ankasitrahana amiko ny fivorianareo masìna.
I hate and abhorre your feast dayes, and I wil not smelll in your solemne assemblies.
22 Na dia ateranareo fanatitra dorana sy fanatitra hohanina aza Aho, dia tsy sitrako izany; Ny zanak’ omby mifahy aterinareo ho fanati-pihavanana dia tsy hojereko akory.
Though ye offer me burnt offrings and meat offrings, I wil not accept them: neither will I regard the peace offrings of your fat beasts.
23 Atsaharo ny finaonaonan’ ny hiranareo, fa maharenina Ahy; Fa tsy hihaino ny fanenon’ ny lokanganareo Aho.
Take thou away from me the multitude of thy songs (for I wil not heare the melodie of thy violes)
24 Ary aoka ny fitsarana hanalonalona toy ny rano, ary ny fahamarinana toy ny renirano tsy mety ritra.
And let iudgement runne downe as waters, and righteousnesse as a mightie riuer.
25 Moa efa nanatitra fanatitra hohanina sy fanatitra alatsa-drà ho Ahy tany an-efitra efa-polo taona va ianareo, ry taranak’ i Isiraely?
Haue ye offered vnto me sacrifices and offrings in the wildernesse fourtie yeeres, O house of Israel?
26 Tsia, fa ny nitondra ny tabernakelin’ ny mpanjakanareo sy ny fipetrahan’ ny sampinareo ihany no nataonareo, dia ny kintan’ ny andriamanitrareo, izay nataonareo ho anareo
But you haue borne Siccuth your King, and Chiun your images, and the starre of your gods, which ye made to your selues.
27 Ka dia ho entiko ho babo any ankoatr’ i Damaskosy ianareo, hoy Jehovah, Andriamanitry ny maro no anarany.
Therefore wil I cause you to goe into captiuitie beyond Damascus, saith the Lord, whose Name is the God of hostes.
