Amosa 5
1 Henoinareo izao teny izao, izay entiko milaza anareo, dia hira fahalahelovana, ry taranak’ Isiraely;
Hear this word that I am bearing to you, A lamentation, O house of Israel:
2 Lavo Isiraely virijina ka tsy hahatsangana intsony; Nazera tamin’ ny taniny izy, ka tsy misy mangana azy.
“Fallen, not to rise again, has the virgin of Israel, Left on her land—she has none [to] 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.
For thus said Lord YHWH: “The city that is going out one thousand, Leaves one hundred, And that which is going out one hundred, Leaves 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 said YHWH to the house of Israel: “Seek Me, and 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.
And do not seek Beth-El, and do not enter Gilgal, And do not pass through Beer-Sheba, For Gilgal utterly removes, And Beth-El becomes vanity.
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 YHWH, and live, Lest He prosper as fire [against] the house of Joseph, And it has consumed, And there is no quencher for Beth-El—
7 Dia ianareo izay mamadika ny rariny ho zava-mahafaty ary mampiongana ny fahamarinana ho eo amin’ ny tany.
You who are turning judgment to wormwood, And have put down righteousness to 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,
The Maker of the Pleiades and Orion, And He who is turning death-shade to the morning—And He has made day [as] dark [as] night—Who is calling to the waters of the sea, And pours them on the face of the earth, YHWH [is] His Name;
9 Dia Ilay mampitselatra fandravana hamely ny mahery, ka dia mihatra amin’ ny tanàna mimanda ny fandravana.
Who is brightening up the spoiled against the strong, And the spoiled comes against a fortress.
10 Halany eo am-bavahady izay mananatra, ary ataony ho fahavetavetana izay miteny ny marina.
They have hated a reprover in the gate, And they detest a plain speaker.
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 of your trampling on the poor, And the tribute of grain you take from him, Houses of hewn work you have built, And you do not dwell in them, Desirable vineyards you have planted, And you do not drink their wine.
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 have known—many [are] your transgressions, And mighty your sins, Adversaries of the righteous, taking ransoms, And you turned aside the needy in the gate.
13 Koa izay manan-tsaina dia hangina amin’ izao andro izao, fa andro mampahory izao.
Therefore the wise is silent at that time, For it [is] an evil 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.
Seek good, and not evil, that you may live, and it is so; YHWH, God of Hosts, [is] with you, as you 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.
Hate evil, and love good, And set up judgment in the gate, It may be YHWH, God of Hosts, pities 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 said YHWH, God of Hosts, the Lord: “Lamentation is in all broad places, And in all out-places they say, Oh! Oh! And called the farmer to mourning, And the skillful of wailing to lamentation.
17 Ary any amin’ ny tanim-boaloboka rehetra dia hisy fisaonana; Fa handeha hamaky eo aminao Aho, hoy Jehovah.
And in all vineyards [is] lamentation, For I pass into your midst,” said YHWH.
18 Lozan’ izay maniry ny andron’ i Jehovah! Hataonareo inona moa ny andron’ i Jehovah? Dia aizina, fa tsy fahazavana,
Behold, you who are desiring the Day of YHWH, Why [is] this to you—the Day of YHWH? 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 [when] one flees from the face of the lion, And the bear has met him, And he has come into the house, And has leaned his hand on the wall, And the serpent has bitten 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 YHWH darkness and not light, Even thick darkness that has no brightness?
21 Halako, eny, laviko ny andro firavoravoanareo, ary tsy ho hanitra ankasitrahana amiko ny fivorianareo masìna.
“I have hated—I have loathed your festivals, And I am not refreshed by your restraints.
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.
For though you cause burnt-offerings and your presents to ascend to Me, I am not pleased, And I do not behold the peace-offering of your fatlings.
23 Atsaharo ny finaonaonan’ ny hiranareo, fa maharenina Ahy; Fa tsy hihaino ny fanenon’ ny lokanganareo Aho.
Turn the noise of your songs aside from Me, Indeed, I do not hear the praise of your stringed instruments.
24 Ary aoka ny fitsarana hanalonalona toy ny rano, ary ny fahamarinana toy ny renirano tsy mety ritra.
And judgment rolls on as waters, And righteousness as a perennial stream.
25 Moa efa nanatitra fanatitra hohanina sy fanatitra alatsa-drà ho Ahy tany an-efitra efa-polo taona va ianareo, ry taranak’ i Isiraely?
Did you bring sacrifices and offerings near to Me, In a wilderness forty years, 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
And you bore Succoth your king, and Chiun your images, The star of your god, that 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 removed you beyond Damascus,” said YHWH—God of Hosts [is] His Name.
