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 this word, O ye cows of Bashan, that are on the mount of Samaria, who oppress the poor, who crush the needy, who say to their lords, Bring, and let us 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.

Sworn hath the Lord Eternal by his holiness, that, lo, days are coming over you, when men will carry you away with hooks, and your posterity with fishhooks.

3 Hipororoak’ amo heba’eo nahareo songa rakemba hifanoitoy mb’eo, vaho hahifike mb’e Karmone añe hoe t’Iehovà.

And through breaches in the wall shall ye go out, every one through that before her: and ye shall cast off your proud greatness, saith 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;

Go then to Beth-el, and transgress; to Gilgal, [and] multiply transgression; and bring in the morning your sacrifices, after three days your tithes:

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 burn of leaven a sacrifice of thanksgiving, and proclaim and publish freewill-offerings; for so do you love [to do], O ye children of Israel, saith the Lord Eternal.

6 Fa nitolorako nife malio amo rova’ areo iabio, naho tsy fahampeañe mofo añ’anjomba’ areo, fe tsy nimpoly amako nahareo, hoe t’Iehovà.

But, I also had indeed given you cleanness of teeth in all your cities, and want of bread in all your places: and yet have ye not returned unto me, saith 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.

And I also had indeed withholden from you the rain, when it was yet three months to the harvest; and I caused it to rain upon one city, and upon another city I caused it not to rain; one piece of land was rained upon, and another piece whereupon it rained not became 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 two or three cities wandered unto one city, to drink water; but they were not satisfied: and yet have ye not returned unto me, saith 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 had smitten you with blasting and mildew; the multitude of your gardens and your vineyards and your fig-trees and your olive-trees did the caterpillar devour: and yet have ye not returned unto me, saith 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 had sent out against you the pestilence after the manner of Egypt; I slew your young men with the sword, together with your captive horses; and I had caused the stench of your camps to ascend even into your nostrils; and yet ye have not returned unto me, saith 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 had produced an overthrow among you, like the overthrow by God of Sodom and Gomorrah, and ye became like a fire-brand snatched out of the burning: and yet have ye not returned unto me, saith 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 unto thee, O Israel: because then I will do this unto thee, prepare to meet thy 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, lo, he that formeth the mountains, and createth the wind, and declareth unto man what is his thought, that maketh the morning-dawn [and] darkness, and treadeth upon the high places of the earth, — The Lord, the God of hosts, is his name.
