Amosa 3
1 Mijanjiña ty nitsarà’ Iehovà ry ana’ Israeleo, ry hene foko nakareko an-tane’ i Mitsraimeo, ami’ty hoe:
Give ear to this word which the Lord has said against you, O children of Israel, against all the family which I took up out of the land of Egypt, saying,
2 Inahareo avao ty napotako amo kila foko ty tane toio; aa le fonga havaleko ama’ areo o hakeo’ areoo.
You only of all the families of the earth have I taken care of: for this reason I will send punishment on you for all your sins.
3 Mahay miharo lia hao ty roe naho tsy milahatse hey?
Is it possible for two to go walking together, if not by agreement?
4 Hitroñe añ’ala ao hao ty liona naho tsy aman-tsàtsa’e? Hañaolo boak’ an-dakato’e ao hao ty liona tora’e naho tsy nahatsepake?
Will a lion give his loud cry in the woodland when no food is there? will the voice of the young lion be sounding from his hole if he has taken nothing?
5 Mete hikoropok’ am-pandri-bo an-tane eo hao ty voroñe, naho tsy ama’e ty fitake? Hidraitse an-tane eo hao i bitsokey, ie tsy aman-ko tsepaheñe?
Is it possible for a bird to be taken in a net on the earth where no net has been put for him? will the net come up from the earth if it has taken nothing at all?
6 Naho tiofeñe an-drova ao i antsivay, tsy hangebahebake hao ondatio? Ie hizò hankàñe ty rova, tsy ho sata’ Iehovà hao?
If the horn is sounded in the town will the people not be full of fear? will evil come on a town if the Lord has not done it?
7 Toe tsy hanao ndra inoñ’inoñe t’Iehovà, Talè, naho tsy borahe’e amo mpitoro’e mpitokio heike o safiri’e mietakeo.
Certainly the Lord will do nothing without making clear his secret to his servants, the prophets.
8 Fa nitroñe i lionay, ia ty tsy ho hembañe? Fa nitsara t’Iehovà, Talè, ia ty tsy hitoky?
The cry of the lion is sounding; who will not have fear? The Lord God has said the word; is it possible for the prophet to keep quiet?
9 Tseizo amo anjomba’ i Asdodeo naho amo anjomba an-tane’ Mitsraime añeo ty hoe: mitontona am-bohi’ i Somerone eo, naho mahaisaha ty fifandraparapahañe añivo’e ao vaho o forekekeñe ama’e aoo.
Give out the news in the great houses of Assyria and in the land of Egypt, and say, Come together on the mountains of Samaria, and see what great outcries are there, and what cruel acts are done in it.
10 Fa tsy fohi’ iareo ty hanao ty hiti’e, hoe t’Iehovà, ie mañaja fikatramoañe, naho fampikamerañe añ’anjomba’ iareo ao.
For they have no knowledge of how to do what is right, says the Lord, who are storing up violent acts and destruction in their great houses.
11 Aa hoe t’Iehovà, Talè: Hiarikatohe’ ty rafelahy i taney naho harotsa’e o hafatrara’oo, vaho ho kopahe’e o anjomba’oo.
For this reason, says the Lord, an attacker will come, shutting in the land on every side; and your strength will come down and your great houses will be made waste.
12 Hoe t’i Iehovà: Manahake ty añakara’ ty mpiarake ami’ty montsilin-diona ty tombo’e roe ndra ty silan-tsofi’e, ty haneseañe o ana’ Israele mimoneñe e Someroneo, reketse ty indran-tihy ndra ty tombom-pandreañe.
These are the words of the Lord: As the keeper of sheep takes out of the mouth of the lion two legs or part of an ear; so will the children of Israel be made safe, who are resting in Samaria on seats of honour or on the silk cushions of a bed.
13 Mijanjiña, le asisio ty anjomba’ Iakobe, hoe t’Iehovà, Talè Andrianañahare’ i màroy;
Give ear now, and give witness against the family of Jacob, says the Lord God, the God of armies;
14 fa amy andro hañondrohako o fiolà’ Israeleoy, le ho valeako o kitreli’ i Beteleo, naho ho kitsifañe i tsifan-kitrely rey vaho hipok’ an-tane eo.
For in the day when I give Israel punishment for his sins, I will send punishment on the altars of Beth-el, and the horns of the altar will be cut off and come down to the earth.
15 Hatraoko lafa i anjomban’asaray naho i anjomban’asotriy, hikoromake ka o anjomba aman-tsifao; toe hirotsake o anjomba jabajabao, hoe t’Iehovà.
And I will send destruction on the winter house with the summer house; the ivory houses will be falling down and the great houses will come to an end, says the Lord.
