Amosa 8
1 Izao no nasehon’ i Jehovah Tompo tamiko; Indro, nisy harona feno voankazo masaka fahavaratra.
Thus the Lord GOD showed me: behold, a basket of summer fruit.
2 Ary hoy Izy: Inona no hitanao, ry Amosa? Dia hoy izaho: Harona feno voankazo masaka fahavaratra. Dia hoy Jehovah tamiko: Tonga amin’ ny Isiraely oloko ny farany; Tsy handefitra aminy intsony Aho.
He said, “Amos, what do you see?” I said, “A basket of summer fruit.” Then the LORD said to me, “The end has come on my people Israel. I will not again pass by them any more.
3 Ho tonga naonaona ny hira ao an-dapa amin’ izany andro izany, hoy Jehovah Tompo; Ho be ny faty, Hatraiza hatraiza no hanariany azy. Mangìna re!
The songs of the temple will be wailing in that day,” says the Lord GOD. “The dead bodies will be many. In every place they will throw them out with silence.
4 Mihanoa izao, ianareo izay mihanahana te-hitelina ny malahelo sy hahafongana ny mpandefitra amin’ ny tany
Hear this, you who desire to swallow up the needy, and cause the poor of the land to fail,
5 Ka manao hoe: Rahoviana no ho tapitra ny voaloham-bolana, hivarotantsika vary, sy ny Sabata, hanokafantsika ny lava-bary, ka hanakelezana ny efaha sy hanalehibiazana ny sekely, ary hanaovana mizana mandainga
saying, ‘When will the new moon be gone, that we may sell grain? And the Sabbath, that we may market wheat, making the efah small, and the shekel large, and dealing falsely with balances of deceit;
6 Mba hovidintsika volafotsy ny mahantra sy kiraro iray lomisy ny malahelo, ary hivarotantsika ny loha-kororoky ny vary?
that we may buy the poor for silver, and the needy for a pair of sandals, and sell the sweepings with the wheat?’”
7 Jehovah nianiana tamin’ ny Reharehan’ i Jakoba ka nanao hoe: Tsy hisy hobadinoiko mandrakizay ny asany na dia iray akory aza!
The LORD has sworn by the pride of Jacob, “Surely I will never forget any of their works.
8 Tsy hihorohoro noho izany va ny tany, sy hitomany ny mponina rehetra ao aminy? Eny, ny tany rehetra hihatondraka tahaka an’ i Neily sy hihena indray toy ny Neilin’ i Egypta.
Won’t the land tremble for this, and everyone mourn who dwells in it? Yes, it will rise up wholly like the River; and it will be stirred up and sink again, like the River of Egypt.
9 Ary amin izany andro izany, hoy Jehovah Tompo, dia halentiko mitataovovonana ny masoandro, ary hohamaiziniko antoandrobenanahary ny tany;
It will happen in that day,” says the Lord GOD, “that I will cause the sun to go down at noon, and I will darken the earth in the clear day.
10 Hampodiko ho fitomaniana ny andro firavoravoanareo, ary ho hira fahalahelovana ny hiranareo rehetra, hofeheziko lamba fisaonana ny valahana rehetra, sady hokakasako ny loha rehetra; Ary hataoko ho toy ny fisaonana zanakalahy tokana izany, Ka ny farany dia ho tahaka ny andro mangidy.
I will turn your feasts into mourning, and all your songs into lamentation; and I will make you wear sackcloth on all your bodies, and baldness on every head. I will make it like the mourning for an only son, and its end like a bitter day.
11 Indro, avy ny andro, hoy Jehovah Tompo, izay hanaterako mosary amin’ ny tany, tsy fanirian-kanina anefa, na hetahetan-drano, fa faniriana handre ny tenin’ i Jehovah;
Behold, the days come,” says the Lord GOD, “that I will send a famine in the land, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the LORD’s words.
12 Ary hivembena hatrany amin’ ny ranomasina ka hatrany amin’ ny ranomasina ny olona ary hatrany amin’ ny avaratra ka hatrany amin’ ny atsinanana, eny, hivezivezy hitady ny tenin’ i Jehovah izy, nefa tsy hahita.
They will wander from sea to sea, and from the north even to the east; they will run back and forth to seek the LORD’s word, and will not find it.
13 Amin’ izany andro izany dia ho jemby noho ny hetaheta ny virijina tsara tarehy sy ny zatovolahy,
In that day the beautiful virgins and the young men will faint for thirst.
14 Dia ireo izay mianiana amin’ ny fahotan’ i Samaria, ka manao hoe: velona koa ny andriamanitrao, ry Dana, ary raha velona koa ny fanaon’ i Beri-sheba; eny, ho lavo izy ka tsy hiarina intsony.
Those who swear by the sin of Samaria, and say, ‘As your god, Dan, lives,’ and, ‘As the way of Beersheba lives,’ they will fall, and never rise up again.”
