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.
You [wealthy women] of Samaria [have grown fat like] [MET] the fat cows of the Bashan [region]. You oppress poor people and you cause needy people to suffer. And you say to your husbands, “Bring us [more wine] to 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.
But Yahweh [our] God has said this: “Because I am holy, I solemnly promise this: It will [soon] be the time when you all will be taken [to another country]; [your enemies will take you away as though they are] using sharp hooks [DOU] [to grab you].
3 Hipororoak’ amo heba’eo nahareo songa rakemba hifanoitoy mb’eo, vaho hahifike mb’e Karmone añe hoe t’Iehovà.
[Your enemies] will drag you out through breaks/holes [in your city walls], and they will throw you outside the city. [That will surely happen because I], Yahweh, have said it!
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 to Bethel and Gilgal [towns where many people worship me] and sin more and more [SAR]! [I say that not because I want you to do it], [but because it is what you have always been doing]! Offer sacrifices on the morning [after you arrive], [and bring me] (a tithe/one tenth) of your crops the next 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.
Bring offerings of bread to thank me, and [other] offerings that are not required/commanded, and boast about [these offerings that you bring], because that is what you like to do, [but you do it to impress others, not to please me]. [That is certainly true, because I], Yahweh, have said it.
6 Fa nitolorako nife malio amo rova’ areo iabio, naho tsy fahampeañe mofo añ’anjomba’ areo, fe tsy nimpoly amako nahareo, hoe t’Iehovà.
I [am the one who] caused there to be no food in any of your cities and towns [DOU], but you rejected me in spite of that.
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.
When it was still three months before [the time of] harvesting [crops], [at the time when your crops needed rain the most], I prevented rain from falling. [Sometimes] I allowed rain to fall on some towns and prevented it from falling on other towns. Rain fell on some fields, but it did not fall on other fields, with the result that [the soil in] those fields [where it did not rain] 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.
People would stagger from one town to another town to find water, but they could not even get enough water to drink, but in spite of that, you have not returned to me. [That is certainly true because I], Yahweh, have said it!
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 caused your grain fields to dry up; I caused your gardens and vineyards to be struck/destroyed by (blight/hot winds) and mildew. [I sent] locusts to eat [the leaves on] your fig trees and olive trees, but in spite of that, you rejected me. [That is certainly true because I], Yahweh, have said it!
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 caused you to experience (plagues/severe sicknesses) like the plagues [that I sent to the people] of Egypt. I caused [many of] your young men to die in battles. I allowed [your enemies] to capture your horses. [Many of your soldiers were killed, ] and I caused your camps to be filled with the smell/stink of their [decaying] corpses. But in spite of that, you rejected me. [That is certainly true, because] I, Yahweh, have said it!
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 got rid of many of you, like I got rid of [the people in] Sodom and Gomorrah. [Those of] you who [did not die] were like [SIM] a burning stick that was snatched from a fire [so that it would not burn completely]. But in spite of that, you rejected me. [That is certainly true, because I], Yahweh, have said it!
12 Toly ndra inao ty hanoeko ama’o ry Israele; kanao tsy mete tsy hanoeko, le mihentseña hifañaoñe aman’ Añahare’o ry Israele.
So [now], you [people of] Israel, I am going to punish you. Prepare to stand in front of me, your God, [when I judge you]!
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.
I created the mountains, and [I] created winds. I reveal to humans what I am thinking. I [sometimes] cause the daylight to become dark [like the night]. I [rule over everything]; I [even] walk on the highest mountains on the earth! I am the Commander of the armies of angels!”
