Amosa 5
1 Henoinareo izao teny izao, izay entiko milaza anareo, dia hira fahalahelovana, ry taranak’ Isiraely;
Hear you this word of the Lord, even a lamentation, which I take up against you. The house of Israel is fallen; it shall no more rise.
2 Lavo Isiraely virijina ka tsy hahatsangana intsony; Nazera tamin’ ny taniny izy, ka tsy misy mangana azy.
The virgin of Israel has fallen upon his land; there is none that shall raise her up.
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.
Therefore thus says the Lord God; The city out of which there went forth a thousand, [in it] there shall be left a hundred, and [in that] out of which there went forth a hundred, there shall be left ten to the house of Israel.
4 Fa izao no lazain’ i Jehovah amin’ ny taranak’ Isiraely; Tadiavo Aho, dia ho velona ianareo;
Therefore thus says the Lord to the house of Israel, Seek you me, and you shall live.
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 seek not Bethel, and go not into Galgala, and cross not over to the Well of the Oath: for Galgala shall surely go into captivity, and Bethel shall be as that which is not.
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,
Seek you the Lord, and you shall live; lest the house of Joseph blaze as fire, and it devour him, and there shall be none to quench it for the house of Israel.
7 Dia ianareo izay mamadika ny rariny ho zava-mahafaty ary mampiongana ny fahamarinana ho eo amin’ ny tany.
[It is he] that executes judgment in the height [above], and he has established justice on 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,
who makes all things, and changes [them], and turns darkness into the morning, and darkens the day into night: who calls for the water of the sea, and pours it out on the face of the earth: the Lord is his name:
9 Dia Ilay mampitselatra fandravana hamely ny mahery, ka dia mihatra amin’ ny tanàna mimanda ny fandravana.
who dispenses ruin to strength, and brings distress upon the fortress.
10 Halany eo am-bavahady izay mananatra, ary ataony ho fahavetavetana izay miteny ny marina.
They hated him that reproved in the gates, and abhorred holy speech.
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.
Therefore because they have struck the poor with their fists, and you have received of them choice gifts; you have built polished houses, but you shall not dwell in them; you have planted desirable vineyards, but you shall not drink the 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 many transgressions, and your sins are great, trampling on the just, taking bribes, and turning aside [the judgment of] the poor in the gates.
13 Koa izay manan-tsaina dia hangina amin’ izao andro izao, fa andro mampahory izao.
Therefore the prudent shall be silent at that time; for it is a time of evils.
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.
Seek good, and not evil, that you may live: and so the Lord God Almighty shall be with you, as you have said,
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.
We have hated evil, and loved good: and restore you judgment in the gates; that the Lord God Almighty may have mercy on the remnant of Joseph.
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.
Therefore thus says the Lord God Almighty; In all the streets [shall be] lamentations; and in all the ways shall it be said, Woe, woe! the husbandman shall be called to mourning and lamentation, and to them that are skilled in complaining.
17 Ary any amin’ ny tanim-boaloboka rehetra dia hisy fisaonana; Fa handeha hamaky eo aminao Aho, hoy Jehovah.
And [there shall be] lamentation in all the ways; because I will pass through the midst of you, says the Lord.
18 Lozan’ izay maniry ny andron’ i Jehovah! Hataonareo inona moa ny andron’ i Jehovah? Dia aizina, fa tsy fahazavana,
Woe to you that desire the day of the Lord! what is this day of the Lord to you? whereas it is darkness, 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 should flee from the face of a lion, and a bear should meet him; and he should spring into his house, and lean his hands upon the wall, and a serpent should bite him.
20 Moa tsy aizina va ny andron’ i Jehovah, fa tsy fahazavana? Tsy aizim-pito tsy misy mangirana akory va izany?
Is not the day of the Lord darkness, and not light? and is not this [day] gloom without brightness?
21 Halako, eny, laviko ny andro firavoravoanareo, ary tsy ho hanitra ankasitrahana amiko ny fivorianareo masìna.
I hate, I reject your feasts, and I will not smell [your] meat-offerings in your general 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.
Therefore if you should bring me your whole burnt sacrifices and meat-offerings, I will not accept [them]: neither will I have respect to your grand peace-offerings.
23 Atsaharo ny finaonaonan’ ny hiranareo, fa maharenina Ahy; Fa tsy hihaino ny fanenon’ ny lokanganareo Aho.
Remove from me the sound of your songs, and I will not hear the music of your instruments.
24 Ary aoka ny fitsarana hanalonalona toy ny rano, ary ny fahamarinana toy ny renirano tsy mety ritra.
But let judgment roll down as water, and righteousness as an impassable torrent.
25 Moa efa nanatitra fanatitra hohanina sy fanatitra alatsa-drà ho Ahy tany an-efitra efa-polo taona va ianareo, ry taranak’ i Isiraely?
Have you offered to me victims and sacrifices, O house of Israel, forty years in the wilderness?
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
Yes, you took up the tabernacle of Moloch, and the star of your god Raephan, the images of them which you made for yourselves.
27 Ka dia ho entiko ho babo any ankoatr’ i Damaskosy ianareo, hoy Jehovah, Andriamanitry ny maro no anarany.
And I will carry you away beyond Damascus, says the Lord, the Almighty God is his name.
