< 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.
Hear you this word, you heifers of the land of Basan that are in the mountain of Samaria, that oppress the poor, and trample on the needy, which say to their masters, Give us that we may drink.
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 swears by his holiness, that, behold, the days come upon you, when they shall take you with weapons, and fiery destroyers shall cast those with you into boiling caldrons.
3 Hipororoak’ amo heba’eo nahareo songa rakemba hifanoitoy mb’eo, vaho hahifike mb’e Karmone añe hoe t’Iehovà.
And you shall be brought forth naked in the presence of each other; and you shall be cast forth on the mountain Romman, says the Lord.
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;
You went into Bethel, and sinned, and you multiplied sin at Galgala; and you brought your meat-offerings in the morning, [and] your tithes every third day.
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.
And they read the law without, and called for public professions: proclaim aloud that the children of Israel have loved these things, says the Lord.
6 Fa nitolorako nife malio amo rova’ areo iabio, naho tsy fahampeañe mofo añ’anjomba’ areo, fe tsy nimpoly amako nahareo, hoe t’Iehovà.
And I will give you dullness of teeth in all your cities, and lack of bread in all your places: yet you returned not 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.
Also I withheld from you the rain three months before the harvest: and I will rain upon one city, and on another city I will not rain: one part shall be rained upon, and the part on which I shall not rain shall be dried up.
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.
And [the inhabitants of] two or three cities shall be gathered to one city to drink water, and they shall not be satisfied: yet you have not returned to me, says 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 you with parching, and with blight: you multiplied your gardens, your vineyards, and your fig-grounds, and the cankerworm devoured your olive yards: yet not [even] thus did you return to me, says 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 pestilence among you by the way of Egypt, and killed your young men with the sword, together with your horses that were taken captive; and in my wrath against you I set fire to your camps: yet not even thus did you return to me, says 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.
I overthrew you, as God overthrew Sodoma and Gomorrha, and you became as a brand plucked out of the fire: yet not even thus did you return to me, says 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 thus will I do to you, O Israel: nay because I will do thus to you, prepare to call on your God, O Israel.
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.
For, behold, I am he that strengthens the thunder, and creates the wind, and proclaims to men his Christ, forming the morning and the darkness, and mounting on the high places of the earth, The Lord God Almighty is his name.
