Amosa 7
1 Izao no nasehon’ i Jehovah Tompo tamiko: Indro, nanao ny valala tamin’ ny voalohan’ ny nitsimohan’ ny kolokolon’ ahitra Izy; ary, indro, kolokolon’ izay nojinjana ho an’ ny mpanjaka izany.
These things the Lord God has revealed to me. And behold, the locust was formed at the beginning of the germination during the latter rains, and behold, the latter rains came after the thundering of the king.
2 Ary nony efa laniny avokoa ny zava-maniry amin’ ny tany, dia hoy izaho: Jehovah Tompo, mifona aminao aho mamelà heloka! Hataon’ i Jakoba ahoana no fahajanona? Fa kely izy.
And it happened, when they had finally eaten all the grass in the land, that I said, “Lord God, be gracious, I beg you. Who will raise up Jacob, for he is little?”
3 Nanenenan’ i Jehovah izany; Tsy hisy izany, hoy Jehovah.
The Lord has been merciful about this. “It will not be,” said the Lord.
4 Izao no nasehon’ i Jehovah Tompo tamiko: Indro, Jehovah Tompo miantso hifandahatra hamely amin’ ny afo, ka nandevona ny lalina lehibe sy nila handany ny zara-lova izany.
These things the Lord God has revealed to me. And behold, the Lord God called for judgment unto fire, and it devoured the manifold abyss, and it consumed simultaneously in every direction.
5 Dia hoy izaho: Jehovah Tompo, Mifona aminao aho, mitsahara! Hataon’ i Jakoba ahoana no fahajanona? Fa kely izy.
And I said, “Lord God, cease, I beg you. Who will raise up Jacob, for he is little?”
6 Nanenenan’ i Jehovah izany; Tsy hisy izany, hoy Jehovah Tompo.
The Lord has been merciful about this. “And even this will not be,” said the Lord God.
7 Izao no nasehony ahy: Indro, ny Tompo nitsangana teo ambonin’ ny manda natao amin’ ny pilao, sady nisy pilao teny an-tànany.
These things the Lord revealed to me. And behold, the Lord was standing near a plastered wall, and in his hand was a mason’s trowel.
8 Dia hoy Jehovah tamiko: Inona no hitanao, ry Amosa? Ary hoy izaho: Pilao. Dia hoy ny Tompo: Indro, hanisy pilao eo amin’ ny Isiraely oloko Aho, fa tsy handefitra aminy intsony;
And the Lord said to me, “What do you see, Amos?” And I said, “A mason’s trowel.” And the Lord said, “Behold, I will place the trowel in the midst of my people Israel. I will no longer plaster over them.
9 Dia ho foana ny fitoerana avon’ Isaka, ary ho rava ny fitoera-masin’ Isiraely; Ary hitsangana Aho ka hamely sabatra ny taranak’ i Jeroboama.
And the heights of the idol will be demolished, and the sanctuaries of Israel will be desolate. And I will rise up against the house of Jeroboam with the sword.”
10 Dia naniraka tany amin’ i Jeroboama, mpanjakan’ ny Isiraely, Amazia, ilay mpisorona tao Betela, nanao hoe: Amosa efa nanao tetika hikomy aminao teo amin’ ny taranak’ Isiraely, ary tsy zakan’ ny tany ny teniny rehetra,
And Amaziah, the priest of Bethel, sent to Jeroboam king of Israel, saying: “Amos has rebelled against you in the midst of the house of Israel. The land is not able to withstand all his sermons.
11 satria hoy Amosa: Ho fatin-tsabatra Jeroboama, ary hobaboina hiala amin’ ny taniny tokoa ny Isiraely.
For Amos says this: ‘Jeroboam will die by the sword, and Israel will be taken captive out of their own land.’”
12 Ary hoy Amazia tamin’ i Amosa: Ry mpahita! andeha mandositra mankany amin’ ny tanin’ ny Joda ianao, ka mihinàna hanina any, ary maminania any;
And Amaziah said to Amos, “You, seer, go out and flee into the land of Judah, and eat bread there, and prophesy there.
13 fa aza maminany eto Betela intsony; fa fitoera-masin’ ny mpanjaka sy tranom-panjakana ity.
And in Bethel, do not prophesy any longer, because it is the king’s sanctuary, and it is the house of the kingdom.”
14 Dia namaly Amosa ka nanao tamin’ i Amazia hoe: Tsy mba mpaminany aho, na zanaka ny mpaminany; fa mpiandry ondry sy mpioty aviavy ihany aho,
And Amos responded, and he said to Amasias, “I am not a prophet, and I am not the son of a prophet, but I am a herdsman plucking from wild fig trees.
15 saingy nalain’ i Jehovah tany ampiandrasana ondry ka nataony hoe: Mandehana, ka maminania amin’ ny Isiraely oloko.
And the Lord took me, when I was following the flock, and the Lord said to me, ‘Go, prophesy to my people Israel.’”
16 Ka mba henoy ny tenin’ i Jehovah: Hianao manao hoe: Aza maminany ny hamelezana ny Isiraely, ary aza milaza ny hamelezana ny taranak’ Isaka;
And now, hear the word of the Lord: You say, “You will not prophesy about Israel, and you will not rain your words upon the house of the idol.”
17 Koa izao no lazain’ i Jehovah: Ny vadinao hijangajanga ao an-tanàna, ary ny zanakao-lahy sy ny zanakao-vavy ho lavon-tsabatra, Ary ny taninao hozaraina amin’ ny famolaina; Ary ny tenanao ho faty any amin’ ny tany maloto; Ary ny Isiraely hobaboina hiala amin’ ny taniny tokoa.
Because of that, the Lord says this: “Your wife will fornicate in the city, and your sons and your daughters will fall by the sword, and your soil will be measured with a string. And you will die on polluted land, and Israel will be taken into captivity out of their land.”
