Amosa 6
1 Lozan’ ireo miadana ao Ziona sy ireo matokitoky foana ao an-tendrombohitr’ i Samaria, dia ireo malaza eo amin’ ny firenena malaza indrindra sady hatonin’ ny taranak’ Isiraely.
Woe to those that are free from care in Zion, and that are in safety on the mount of Samaria, who are named the chief of the nations, to whom the house of Israel come!
2 Mankanesa any Kalne ianareo, ka mijere, dia mandrosoa ihany ho any Hamata lehibe; Ary midìna ho any Gatan’ ny Filistina; Tsara noho ireo fanjakana ireo va izy? Sa lehibe noho ny tanin’ ireo va ny taninareo?
Pass ye over unto Calneh, and see; and go from there to Chamath-rabbah; then go down to Gath of the Philistines: whether they be better than these kingdoms? or whether their territory be greater than your territory?
3 Hianareo izay mihevitra ny andro mampahory ho mbola lavitra sy mampanakaiky ny seza fandozana,
[Ye] that deem far away the evil day, and cause the seat of violence to come near;
4 Dia ireo izay mandrimandry ao amin’ ny farafara ivoriny sy mitsilailay eo amin’ ny fandriandriany ary homana ny zanak’ ondry avy amin’ ny andian’ ny ondry sy ny zanak’ omby avy ao am-pahitra,
That lie upon beds of ivory, and are stretched out upon their couches, and eat lambs out of the flock, and calves out of the midst of the stall;
5 Dia ireo izay mivovo foana manaraka ny feon-dokanga ary mamorona zava-maneno toy ny nataon’ i Davida,
That chant to the sound of the psaltery, and like David's do they imagine their instrument of music to be;
6 Dia ireo izay misotro divay amin’ ny lovia famafazana sady mihosotra diloilo tsara Indrindra, nefa tsy onena ny fahasimban’ i Josefa.
That drink out of wine-bowls, and anoint themselves with the costliest of ointments; but who feel no pain for the wound of Joseph.
7 Koa amin’ izao dia ho voalohany amin’ izay hobaboina ireo, ary hatsahatro ny hobin’ izay mitsilailay foana.
Therefore now shall they go into exile at the head of exiles, and the noisy banquet of those that were stretched out shall pass away.
8 Jehovah Tompo dia efa nianiana tamin’ ny tenany, hoy Jehovah, Andriamanitry ny maro: Fahavetavetana eo anatrehako ny reharehan’ i Jakoba, ary halako ny tranobeny; Koa dia hatolotro ny tanàna mbamin’ izay rehetra ao anatiny.
The Lord Eternal hath sworn by his own existence, saith the Lord the God of hosts, I abhor the pride of Jacob, and his palaces do I hate: therefore will I surrender up [to the enemy] the city with all that filleth it.
9 Ary raha hisy folo lahy sisa ao an-trano iray, dia samy ho faty ireo.
And it shall come to pass, that if there remain ten men in one house, they shall die.
10 Ary ny havan’ izay maty, na izay handevina azy, dia hambeta azy ka hitondra ny faty hiala ao an-trano, dia hiteny amin’ izay ao anaty trano hoe: Mbola misy ihany va ato aminao? Ary raha hoy izy: Tapitra! Dia hovaliana hoe: Mangìna re! fa tsy tokony hotonenina ny anaran’ i Jehovah.
And should a man's uncle or relative carry him forth, to bring out the bones out of the house, and say unto him that is in the recesses of the house, Is there yet any one with thee? he will say, There is no one left. Then will he say, Be silent; for we may not make mention of the name of the Lord.
11 Fa, indro, Jehovah no mandidy, ka horavana ny trano lehibe, ary hotresatresahina ny trano madinika.
For, behold, the Lord commandeth, and he will smite the great house with breaches, and the little house with clefts.
12 Mihazakazaka eny amin’ ny sola-bato va ny soavaly. Misy olona mampihosy omby va eny, no efa navadikareo ho zava-mangidy ny rariny, ary ny vokatry ny fahamarinana ho zava-mahafaty?
Do horses ever run upon the rock? or will one plough there with oxen? that ye have turned justice into poison, and the fruit of righteousness into wormwood;
13 Dia ianareo izay mifaly amin’ ny zava-poana ka manao hoe: Moa tsy ny herinay va no ahazoanay tandroka ho anay?
Ye who rejoice for a thing of naught, who say, Have we not through our own strength procured ourselves horns?
14 Fa, indro, hanangana firenena hamely anareo Aho, ry taranak’ Isiraely, hoy Jehovah, Andriamanitry ny maro, dia hampahory anareo hatrany akaikin’ i Hamata izy ka hatramin’ ny lohasahan-driaka any amin’ ny tani-hay.
For, behold, I will raise up against you a nation, O house of Israel, saith the Lord the God of hosts, and they shall oppress you from the entrance of Chamath unto the brook of the wilderness.
