Amosa 6
1 Hankàñe ry mierañerañe e Tsione ao, naho o mipalitse ami’ty vohi’ i Someroneo, o roandriam-pifeheañe valoha’e iatoa’ ty anjomba’ Israeleo!
Woe to those who are at ease in Zion, and to those who are secure on the mountain of Samaria, the notable men of the chief of the nations, to whom the house of Israel come!
2 Mionjona mb’e Kalnè mb’eo le isao, akia henane zay mb’e Kamate jabajabay; vaho mizotsoa mb’e Gate nte-Pilistiy mb’eo. Ho soa te amy fifeheañe retiañe hao iereo? mandikoatse ty efe-tane’ areo hao ty a iareo?
Go to Calneh, and see. From there go to Hamath the great. Then go down to Gath of the Philistines. Are they better than these kingdoms? Is their border greater than your border?
3 Ry mampihànkañe i andron-kankàñey vaho mampitotoke i fiambesan-karotsahañey;
Alas for you who put far away the evil day, and cause the seat of violence to come near,
4 o mitsalalampatse am-pandreañe nihamineñe hafotia-nife naho mihitsy an-kidori’ iareo, vaho mikama anak’añondry boak’ amy lia-raikey naho sarake boak’ añivon-jolokeo;
who lie on beds of ivory, and stretch themselves on their couches, and eat the lambs out of the flock, and the calves out of the middle of the stall,
5 o mititike marovany arahem-peo vaho mamoroñe raham-pititihañe, manahake i Davideo;
who strum on the strings of a harp, who invent for themselves instruments of music, like David;
6 o minon-divay an-tsini-hara naho mihosotse menake soao, fe tsy iroveta’e ty hasotria’ Iosefe.
who drink wine in bowls, and anoint themselves with the best oils, but they are not grieved for the affliction of Joseph.
7 ie amy zao, hasese mb’an-drohy mb’eo ho mpiaolom-pirohy, vaho hafahañe añe ty sabadida’ o mpihity an-telo-antarao.
Therefore they will now go captive with the first who go captive. The feasting and lounging will end.
8 Fa nifanta amam-bata’e t’Iehovà, Talè; le hoe t’Iehovà Andrianañahare’ i màroy, Hejeko ty fiebotsebora’ Iakobe, naho mampangorý ahy o anjomba’eo: aa le hatoloko añe i rovay rekets’ o ama’e iabio.
“The Lord GOD has sworn by himself,” says the LORD, the God of Armies: “I abhor the pride of Jacob, and detest his fortresses. Therefore I will deliver up the city with all that is in it.
9 Ie henane zay, naho lahilahy folo ty sisa añ’anjomba raike, fonga hihomake.
It will happen that if ten men remain in one house, they will die.
10 Ho rambese’ i rahalahin-drae’e kiraikiraike iereo hañakara’e añ’anjomba’e ao hañoroa’e, le ty hoe ty hanoe’e amy añ’anjomba aoy, Mbe ama’e hao irehe? le ty hoe ty hatoi’ ty ao, Aiy! vaho hoe ka i raikey. Mianjiña, fa tsy volañeñe ty tahina’ Iehovà.
“When a man’s relative carries him, even he who burns him, to bring bodies out of the house, and asks him who is in the innermost parts of the house, ‘Is there yet any with you?’ And he says, ‘No;’ then he will say, ‘Hush! Indeed we must not mention the LORD’s name.’
11 Inao fa handily t’Iehovà te ho tseratseraheñe o anjombao vaho ho hotohotoeñe o kibohotseo.
“For, behold, the LORD commands, and the great house will be smashed to pieces, and the little house into bits.
12 Hilay ambatovato hao o soavalao? hitari-dasarý eo reketse katràka hao t’indaty? Mañino te nafote’ areo ho voreke ty havañonañe, vaho ho vahon-tsoy ty vokan-kavantañañe?
Do horses run on the rocky crags? Does one plough there with oxen? But you have turned justice into poison, and the fruit of righteousness into bitterness,
13 Ry mpirebek’ amo raha tsy vente’eo, manao ty hoe: Tsy ty haozara’ay avao hao ty nahavontititse tsifa?
you who rejoice in a thing of nothing, who say, ‘Haven’t we taken for ourselves horns by our own strength?’
14 Inao arè, ry anjomba’ Israeleo te hatroako haname anahareo ty fifeheañe, hoe t’Iehovà Andrianañahare’ i màroy, le ho silofe’ iereo boak’ am-piziliha’ i Kamate eo pak’ an-tsaka’ Arabà añe.
For, behold, I will raise up against you a nation, house of Israel,” says the LORD, the God of Armies; “and they will afflict you from the entrance of Hamath to the brook of the Arabah.”
