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, one of the shepherds of Tekoa, which he prophesied concerning 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 quake. He said: —
2 Ary hoy izy: Jehovah mierona ao Ziona ary mampikotroka any Jerosalema; Ny saha fiandrasana ondry dia mitomany ary maina ny tampon’ i Karmela.
Jehovah will roar from Zion, And utter his voice from Jerusalem; The habitations of the shepherds shall mourn, And the top of Carmel shall wither.
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;
Thus saith Jehovah; For three transgressions of Damascus, And for four, will I not turn away its punishment; For they thrashed Gilead with thrashing-wains of iron.
4 Fa haterako afo ny tranon’ i Hazaela, ka handevona ny tranoben’ i Beni-hadada izany.
I will send a fire upon the house of Hazael, Which shall devour the palaces of Benhadad.
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.
I will also break the bar of Damascus, And I will destroy the inhabitant from the valley of Aven, And him that holdeth the sceptre from Beth-Eden, And the people of Syria shall be led captive to Kir: Jehovah hath said it.
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;
Thus saith Jehovah: For three transgressions of Gaza, And for four, I will not turn away its punishment; For they led captive all that fell into their hands, And delivered them up to Edom.
7 Fa haterako afo ny mandan’ i Gaza, ka handevona ny tranobeny izany;
But I will send a fire upon the wall of Gaza, Which shall devour her palaces.
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
And I will destroy the inhabitant from Ashdod, And him that holdeth the sceptre from Ashkelon; And I will turn my hand against Ekron, And the residue of the Philistines shall perish. The Lord, Jehovah, hath said it.
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;
Thus saith Jehovah: For three transgressions of Tyre, And for four, will I not turn away its punishment; Because they delivered up all their captives to Edom, And remembered not the brotherly covenant.
10 Fa haterako afo ny mandan’ i Tyro, ka handevona ny tranobeny izany
But I will send a fire on the wall of Tyre, Which shall devour her palaces.
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;
Thus saith Jehovah: For three transgressions of Edom, And for four, will I not turn away his punishment; For he pursued his brother with the sword, And cast off all pity, And his anger tore perpetually; Yea, he kept his wrath forever.
12 Fa haterako afo ao Temana, ka handevona ny tranoben’ i Bozra izany
But I will send a fire upon Teman. Which shall devour the palaces 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;
Thus saith Jehovah: For three transgressions of the children of Ammon, And for four, will I not turn away their punishment; For they ripped up the women with child of Gilead, That they might enlarge their border.
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;
But I will kindle a fire on the wall of Rabbah, Which shall devour her palaces, Amid the war-shout in the day of battle, In a whirlwind in the day of the storm.
15 Dia ho lasan-ko babo ny mpanjakany mbamin’ ireo mpanapaka rehetra ao aminy, hoy Jehovah.
Their king shall go into captivity, He and his princes together, saith Jehovah.
