Amosa 4
1 Janjiño o tsara zao ry añombe’ i Basane ambohi’ i Sameroneo, ie forekeke’ areo o rarakeo, naho pirite’ areo o poi’eo, vaho manao amo roandriañeo ty hoe: Añendeso hinoman-tika.
Listen to this message, you well-fed cows of Bashan who live on Mount Samaria, who oppress the poor and crush the needy, and who order your husbands, “Bring us drinks!”
2 Fa nifanta ty amy hamasiña’ey t’Iehovà, Talè: Toe ho tsatok’ ama’ areo ty andro t’ie hasese mb’eo am-porengotse, ty sehanga’ areo am-bintañe.
The Lord God has sworn by his holiness: Watch out! For the time is coming when they will drag you away with hooks, each one of you will be like a fish on a hook.
3 Hipororoak’ amo heba’eo nahareo songa rakemba hifanoitoy mb’eo, vaho hahifike mb’e Karmone añe hoe t’Iehovà.
You will leave through breaches in the city walls, thrown out in the direction of Mount Hermon.
4 Mb’e Betele mb’atoy, le mandilara; mb’e Gilgale le ampitombò hakeo; banabanao o enga’ areoo te maraindray, ty faha-folo’e añ’andro fahatelo’e;
Why don't you go to Bethel and sin? Go to Gilgal and add to your sins even more? Offer your sacrifices in the morning, bring your tithes after three days.
5 naho añengao sorom-pandrengeañe milaro lalivay, le tseizo o banabanan-tsatrin-trokeo, vaho isengeo, fa izay ty tea’ areo, ry ana’Israeleo, hoe t’Iehovà, Talè.
Burn a thank offering of bread made with yeast, and announce what you're giving as freewill offerings so everyone will know. This is what you love to do! declares the Lord God.
6 Fa nitolorako nife malio amo rova’ areo iabio, naho tsy fahampeañe mofo añ’anjomba’ areo, fe tsy nimpoly amako nahareo, hoe t’Iehovà.
It was I who made sure you had nothing to eat in all your cities, and a lack of food wherever you lived, but still you wouldn't return to me, says the Lord.
7 Nampihakañeko ama’ areo ty orañe, te mbe volañe telo añe i fitatahañey, le nampahaviako orañe ty rova raike fa tsy nampahaviako ka ty rova raike; toetse raike ty nahazo orañe, niforejeje ka i tsy nahavia’ey.
It was I who kept the rain from falling when there was still three months before harvest. One city would have rain, while another would not. One field would have rain, another would dry up from lack of rain.
8 Aa le nitoha rano hinoma’e mb’ an-drova raike añe ty rova telo ndra roe, fa tsy nahaeneñe, mboe tsy nimpoly amako avao nahareo, hoe t’Iehovà.
People wandered from town to town looking for water, yet were still thirsty. But still you did not return to me, declares the Lord.
9 F’ie linafako an-tio-maike naho an-tromambo; le nabotse’ ty kijeja ty hamaroa’ o golobo’ areoo, naho o tanem-bahe’ areoo, vaho o voanio’ areoo; fe tsy nimpoly amako, hoe t’Iehovà.
I struck your many farms and vineyards with blight and mildew; locusts devoured your fig trees and olive trees. But still you did not return to me, declares the Lord.
10 Nahitriko ama’ areo ty angorosy manahake o tan-tane Mitsraime añeo, zinamako am-pibara o ajalahi’ areoo, naho tinavako o soavala’ areoo, nampionjoneko mb’am-piantsona’ areo ao ty fitrotròra’e; fe tsy nimpoly amako, hoe t’Iehovà.
I sent a plague on you like I did in Egypt. I killed your young men in battle; I took away your horses; I made you smell the stench of dead bodies in your camps. But still you did not return to me, declares the Lord.
11 Finongoko ty ila’e ama’ areo manahake ty namongoran’Añahare i Sedome naho i Amorà, ie nihoe foroha mirekake tsinoake amy afoy ao; fe mboe tsy nimpoly amako hoe t’Iehovà.
Some of you I destroyed as I destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah. You were like a burning stick pulled out of a fire. But still you did not return to me, declares the Lord.
12 Toly ndra inao ty hanoeko ama’o ry Israele; kanao tsy mete tsy hanoeko, le mihentseña hifañaoñe aman’ Añahare’o ry Israele.
Therefore, this is what I am going to do to you, Israel. Because I am going to do this, Israel, prepare to meet your God!
13 Inao, i mpitsene o vohitseo naho mpamboatse o tiokeoy, I mampiborake o vetsevetse’eo am’ondatioy. I mampiboake ty manjirik’andro ami’ty fimoromoroñe, I midraidraitse amo toets’ambone’ ty tane toioy; Iehovà Andrianañahare’ i màroy ty tahina’e.
Watch! The One who made the mountains, who created the winds, who reveals his thoughts to humankind, who turns the sunlight into darkness, who walks on the high places of the earth—the Lord God of power is his name!
