Amosa 5
1 Janjiño o entañe honjoneko ho bekom-pandalàñe ama’ areoo, ry anjomba’ Israele:
Hear this word that I am bearing to you, A lamentation, O house of Israel:
2 Nihotrake ty somondrara’ Israele; tsy hahafitroatse ka: mifitak’ an-tane’e eo avao, tsy eo ty mahaongak’ aze.
“Fallen, not to rise again, has the virgin of Israel, Left on her land—she has none [to] raise [her] up.”
3 Fa hoe ty nafè’ Iehovà, Talè: Ty rova nampionjoñe ty arivo ro hengañe zato; naho ty nampionjoñe zato ro sisàñe folo, amy anjomba’ Israeley.
For thus said Lord YHWH: “The city that is going out one thousand, Leaves one hundred, And that which is going out one hundred, Leaves ten to the house of Israel.”
4 F’ie hoe ty nafè’ Iehovà amy anjomba’ Israeley: Paiavo iraho, soa t’ie ho veloñe;
For thus said YHWH to the house of Israel: “Seek Me, and live,
5 Fa ko mipay i Betele, naho ko mb’e Gilgale mb’eo, vaho ko mitsake mb’e Beersèba amy te hasese mb’an-drohy añe t’i Gilgale, naho ho tanan-taolo t’i Betele.
And do not seek Beth-El, and do not enter Gilgal, And do not pass through Beer-Sheba, For Gilgal utterly removes, And Beth-El becomes vanity.
6 Tsoeho t’Iehovà, soa te ho veloñe; tsy mone hisolebora’e hoe afo, ry anjomba’ Iosefe, hamorototo i Betele, ie tsy ama’e ty hahafikipek’aze.
Seek YHWH, and live, Lest He prosper as fire [against] the house of Joseph, And it has consumed, And there is no quencher for Beth-El—
7 O ry mamotetse ty zaka ho vahontsoy, vaho mametsake ty havantañañe an-tane,
You who are turning judgment to wormwood, And have put down righteousness to the earth!”
8 Miandrà mb’amy Namboatse i vasiam-pito rey naho i Telo-miriritseiy; mb’amy mamalike ty fimoromoroñan-kavilasy ho maraiñey, mb’amy mampaièñe ty andro ho haleñey; mb’amy mpikanjy o ranon-driakeo hañiliña’e an-tarehe’ ty tane toiy: Iehovà ty tahina’e.
The Maker of the Pleiades and Orion, And He who is turning death-shade to the morning—And He has made day [as] dark [as] night—Who is calling to the waters of the sea, And pours them on the face of the earth, YHWH [is] His Name;
9 Ampibiloe’e amo maozatseo ty fandrotsahañe, vaho miambotrak’ amy rova fatratsey ty fandrebahañe.
Who is brightening up the spoiled against the strong, And the spoiled comes against a fortress.
10 Heje’ iereo ty mpañendak’ an-dalambey eo, vaho falai’ iareo ty misaontsy an-kavañonañe.
They have hated a reprover in the gate, And they detest a plain speaker.
11 Aa kanao lialià’ areo o rarakeo, naho angala’ areo fehen-ampemba, naho andranjia’ areo traño am-bato vinaky, toe tsy himoneña’areo; nambolèa’ areo tanem-bahe soa, f’ie tsy hinoman-divay.
Therefore, because of your trampling on the poor, And the tribute of grain you take from him, Houses of hewn work you have built, And you do not dwell in them, Desirable vineyards you have planted, And you do not drink their wine.
12 Toe apotako te maro o fandilara’ areoo naho jabajaba o ota-fali’ areo; helofa’ areo o vantañeoo, naho mangala-vokàñe, vaho ampiotahe’ areo an-dalambey eo o rarakeo.
For I have known—many [are] your transgressions, And mighty your sins, Adversaries of the righteous, taking ransoms, And you turned aside the needy in the gate.
13 Aa le hianjiñe avao o mahilalao amy andro zay amy te ho hekoheko i sa zay.
Therefore the wise is silent at that time, For it [is] an evil time.
14 Paiao ty soa, fa tsy ty raty, soa te ho veloñe; vaho hañimba anahareo t’Iehovà Andrianañahare’ i màroy, ty amy saontsi’ areoy.
Seek good, and not evil, that you may live, and it is so; YHWH, God of Hosts, [is] with you, as you said.
15 Hejeo ty raty naho kokò ty soa, vaho añorizo zaka to an-dalambey eo; hera hanolots’arofo amo sehanga’ Iosefeo t’Iehovà Andrianañahare.
Hate evil, and love good, And set up judgment in the gate, It may be YHWH, God of Hosts, pities the remnant of Joseph.
16 Aa le hoe t’Iehovà, Talè Andrianañahare’ i màroy: Fangololoihañe ty ho amo lalan-drovao, vaho ho koiheñe an-damoke ey ty hoe, Hankàñe! hankàñe! le hikoke o mpihareo, handala, naho o mahay mikoiakeo, hangoihoy.
Therefore, thus said YHWH, God of Hosts, the Lord: “Lamentation is in all broad places, And in all out-places they say, Oh! Oh! And called the farmer to mourning, And the skillful of wailing to lamentation.
17 Le firovetañe ty ho amo tanem-bahe iabio, amy te hiranga añivo’o ao iraho, hoe t’Iehovà.
And in all vineyards [is] lamentation, For I pass into your midst,” said YHWH.
18 Hankàñe ama’ areo misalala ty andro’ Iehovà! Ho inoñ’ ama’ areo ty andro’ Iehovà? Ho fimoromoroñañe fa tsy hazavàñe.
Behold, you who are desiring the Day of YHWH, Why [is] this to you—the Day of YHWH? It is darkness, and not light,
19 Manahake t’indaty mibotatsak’ ami’ty liona te mone mizò amboa romotse; ndra mizilik’ añ’anjomba ao naho miato an-drindriñe eo ty fità’e vaho tsipohe’ ty fandrefeala.
As [when] one flees from the face of the lion, And the bear has met him, And he has come into the house, And has leaned his hand on the wall, And the serpent has bitten him.
20 Tsy haieñe hao ty andro’ Iehovà fa tsy hazavàñe? Toe ho fimoromoroñañe fa tsy ho aman-kazavàñe ndra piti’e.
Is not the Day of YHWH darkness and not light, Even thick darkness that has no brightness?
21 Hejeko, toe mampangorý ahy o sabadida’ areo miavakeo, tsy noko o fivorim-pamantaña’ areoo.
“I have hated—I have loathed your festivals, And I am not refreshed by your restraints.
22 Aa ndra t’ie mañenga soron-koroañe rekets’ enga-mahakama amako, tsy ho noko; vaho tsy ho haoñeko o engam-pilongoa’ areoo naho o vinondra’ areoo.
For though you cause burnt-offerings and your presents to ascend to Me, I am not pleased, And I do not behold the peace-offering of your fatlings.
23 Asitaho amako ty fikoraha’ o saboo; le tsy ho tsanoñeko ty feo fititiha’ areo.
Turn the noise of your songs aside from Me, Indeed, I do not hear the praise of your stringed instruments.
24 Te mone ampikararaho hoe rano ty hatò, naho hoe torahañe tsy-mai-drano ty havantañañe.
And judgment rolls on as waters, And righteousness as a perennial stream.
25 Aa vaho nisoroñe naho nañenga-mahakama amako an-dratraratra añe hao nahareo tamy efa-polo taoñe zay, ry Anjomba’ Israele?
Did you bring sacrifices and offerings near to Me, In a wilderness forty years, O house of Israel?
26 Toe nibabè’ areo ty kibohom-panjàka’ areo, naho o samposampo’ areoo, i vasian-drahare nitsenè’ areoy.
And you bore Succoth your king, and Chiun your images, The star of your god, that you made for yourselves.
27 Aa le haseseko an-drohy mb’ankalo’ i Damesèk’ añe, hoe t’Iehovà. I Andrianañahare’ i màroy ty tahina’ey.
And I removed you beyond Damascus,” said YHWH—God of Hosts [is] His Name.
