< Amosa 1 >

1 Ny tenin’ i Amosa, izay isan’ ny mpiandry ondry tao Tekoa, dia izay hitany ny amin’ ny Isiraely tamin’ ny andro nanjakan’ i Ozia, mpanjakan’ ny Joda, sy tamin’ ny andro nanjakan’ i Jeroboama, zanak’ i Joasy, mpanjakan’ ny Isiraely, roa taona talohan’ ny horohorontany.
The words of Amos, who was among the herdsmen of Tekoa; what he saw about Israel in the days of Uzziah, king of Judah, and in the days of Jeroboam, the son of Joash, king of Israel, two years before the earth-shock.
2 Ary hoy izy: Jehovah mierona ao Ziona ary mampikotroka any Jerosalema; Ny saha fiandrasana ondry dia mitomany ary maina ny tampon’ i Karmela.
And he said, The Lord will give a lion's cry from Zion, his voice will be sounding from Jerusalem; and the fields of the keepers of sheep will become dry, and the top of Carmel will be wasted away.
3 Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah: Noho ny fahotana telon’ i Damaskosy, eny, efatra aza, dia tsy havelako izy, satria kodia vy no nivelezany an’ i Gileada;
These are the words of the Lord: For three crimes of Damascus, and for four, I will not let its fate be changed; because they have been crushing Gilead with iron grain-crushing instruments.
4 Fa haterako afo ny tranon’ i Hazaela, ka handevona ny tranoben’ i Beni-hadada izany.
And I will send a fire into the house of Hazael, burning up the great houses of Ben-hadad.
5 Hotorotoroiko koa ny hidin’ i Damaskosy, ary hofoanako tsy hisy mponina ny lohasahan’ i Avena, ary Bet-edena tsy hisy hitana tehina fanapahana; Ary ny vahoakan’ i Syria dia ho lasan-ko babo any Kira, hoy Jehovah.
And I will have the locks of the door of Damascus broken, and him who is seated in power cut off from the valley of Aven, and him in whose hand is the rod from the house of Eden; and the people of Aram will go away as prisoners into Kir, says the Lord.
6 Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah: Noho ny fahotana telon’ i Gaza, eny, efatra aza, dia tsy havelako izy, satria lasany ho babo avika ny olona hatolony ho any Edoma;
These are the words of the Lord: For three crimes of Gaza, and for four, I will not let its fate be changed; because they took all the people away prisoners, to give them up to Edom.
7 Fa haterako afo ny mandan’ i Gaza, ka handevona ny tranobeny izany;
And I will send a fire on the wall of Gaza, burning up its great houses:
8 Ary hofoanako Asdoda tsy hisy mponina, ary Askelona tsy hisy hitana tehina fanapahana; Dia haveriko ny tanako hamely an’ i Ekrona, ka ho faty izay sisa amin’ ny Filistina, hoy Jehovah Tompo
Him who is seated in power I will have cut off from Ashdod, and him in whose hand is the rod from Ashkelon; and my hand will be turned against Ekron, and the rest of the Philistines will come to destruction, says the Lord God.
9 Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah: noho ny fahotana telon’ i Tyro, eny efatra aza, dia tsy havelako izy, satria natolony ho any Edoma ny babo rehetra, ary tsy notsarovany ny fanekem-pirahalahiana;
These are the words of the Lord: For three crimes of Tyre, and for four, I will not let its fate be changed; because they gave up all the people prisoners to Edom, without giving a thought to the brothers' agreement between them.
10 Fa haterako afo ny mandan’ i Tyro, ka handevona ny tranobeny izany
And I will send a fire on the wall of Tyre, burning up its great houses.
11 Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah: noho ny fahotana telon’ i Edoma, eny, efatra aza, dia tsy havelako izy, satria nanenjika ny rahalahiny tamin’ ny sabatra izy, ka nofoanany ny fiantrany, ny fahatezerany dia namiravira mandrakariva, ary ny fahavinirany notehiriziny lalandava;
These are the words of the Lord: For three crimes of Edom, and for four, I will not let its fate be changed; because his sword was turned against his brother, without pity, and his wrath was burning at all times, and he was angry for ever.
12 Fa haterako afo ao Temana, ka handevona ny tranoben’ i Bozra izany
And I will send a fire on Teman, burning up the great houses of Bozrah.
13 Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah: noho ny fahotana telon’ ny taranak’ i Amona, eny, efatra aza, dia tsy havelako izy, satria notatahany izay bevohoka tao Gileada, hanitarany ny fari-taniny;
These are the words of the Lord: For three crimes of the children of Ammon, and for four, I will not let its fate be changed; because in Gilead they had women with child cut open, so that they might make wider the limits of their land.
14 Fa hampirehitra afo ao amin’ ny mandan’ i Raba Aho, ka handevona ny tranobeny izany, sady hisy akora amin’ ny andro iadiana sy rivo-mahery amin’ ny andron’ ny tadio;
And I will make a fire in the wall of Rabbah, burning up its great houses, with loud cries in the days of war, with a storm in the day of the great wind:
15 Dia ho lasan-ko babo ny mpanjakany mbamin’ ireo mpanapaka rehetra ao aminy, hoy Jehovah.
And their king will be made prisoner, he and his captains together, says the Lord.
