Amosa 8
1 Zao ty natoron’ Añahare Talè ahy; Ingo ty vakoa pea havokaran’ asara.
Thus the lord Jehovah showed me: And, behold, a basket of summer fruit.
2 Le hoe re, O Amose, ino o isa’oo? Le hoe iraho, Ty vakoam-boan’asara. Vaho hoe t’Iehovà amako, Fa tondrok’ am’ondatiko Israeleo ty figadoña’e; ie tsy hapoko ka.
And he said, Amos, what do thou see? And I said, A basket of summer fruit. Then Jehovah said to me, The end has come upon my people Israel. I will not again pass by them any more.
3 Ie amy andro zay handimbe o sabo añ’anjombao ty bekom-pandala, hoe t’Iehovà, Talè: ho pea lolo atoy naho aroa i taney; le havokovoko am-pianjiñañe añe iereo.
And the songs of the temple shall be wailings in that day, says the lord Jehovah. The dead bodies shall be many. In every place they shall cast them forth with silence.
4 Janjiño izao ry mpigedrañe o rarakeo, ry mpañito o poi’e amy taneio,
Hear this, O ye who would swallow up a needy man, and cause the poor of the land to fail,
5 ie manao ty hoe, naho añe i pea-bolañey le haletan-tika i ampembay; naho modo i andro Sabotsey le ho sokafen-tika o an-drihao, ho tomoreñe ty kapoake, naho honjoneñe i dralay, vaho hampivilañeñe am-pañahy o balantsio.
saying, When will the new moon be gone, that we may sell grain? And the sabbath, that we may set forth wheat, making the ephah small, and the shekel great, and dealing falsely with balances of deceit,
6 Ho kaloen-tika drala o rarakeo naho hana roe o poi’eo, vaho haletan-tika reke-kafo’e i ampembay.
that we may buy the poor for silver, and a needy man for a pair of shoes, and sell the refuse of the wheat?
7 Fe nifanta ami’ty volonahe’ Iakobe t’Iehovà, Le lia’e tsy haliñoko o sata’ iareoo.
Jehovah has sworn by the excellency of Jacob, Surely I will never forget any of their works.
8 Tsy hampiozoñozoñe i taney hao zay: hampandala o hene mpimoneñeo? hanganahana manahake i Sakay, hivalitaboake vaho hiketrake indraike manahake i saka’ i Mitsraimey.
Shall the land not tremble for this, and everyone mourn who dwells therein? Yea, it shall rise up wholly like the River, and it shall be troubled and sink again like the River of Egypt.
9 Ho tondrok’ amy andro zay, hoe t’Iehovà, Talè, te, hampitsoforeko an-tsipinde-mena i àndroy, vaho ho lombofako ieñe ty tane toy añ’andro mazava;
And it shall come to pass in that day, says the lord Jehovah, that I will cause the sun to go down at noon, and I will darken the earth in the clear day.
10 naho hafoteko ho fandalàñe o sabadida’ areoo naho ho firovetañe o sabo’ areoo; fonga hampisikineko gony ze tohake, naho ho peaheko ze hene añambone; le hampangololoiheko hoe t’ie ni-tañoloñoloñañe, vaho hafaitse ty androm-pigadoña’e.
And I will turn your feasts into mourning, and all your songs into lamentation. And I will bring sackcloth upon all loins, and baldness upon every head, and I will make it as the mourning for an only son, and the end thereof as a bitter day.
11 Ingo, ho tondroke ty andro, hoe t’Iehovà, Talè, te hiraheko an-tane atoy ty san-kerè, fa tsy ty hasaliko-mahakama, naho tsy ty hataliñieren-drano, fa ty fijanjiñañe o tsara’ Iehovào;
Behold, the days come, says the lord Jehovah, that I will send a famine in the land, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the words of Jehovah.
12 hirererere boak’ an-driake pak’ an-driak’ añe ondatio, naho boak’ avaratse vaho hianiñanañe, hibelobelo mb’etia mb’eroa hipay ty tsara’ Iehovà fa tsy ho isa’e.
And they shall wander from sea to sea, and from the north even to the east. They shall run to and fro to seek the word of Jehovah, and shall not find it.
13 Ho toirañen-keahea o somondrara maintelèñeo naho o ajalahio.
In that day the fair virgins and the young men shall faint for thirst.
14 Le o mifanta amy hakeo’ i Someroneio ami’ty hoe: Kanao veloñe ty ‘ndrahare’ i Dane; naho, Katao veloñe ty sata’ i Beèrsèbae; le hikorovoke, tsy hitroatse ka.
Those who swear by the sin of Samaria, and say, As thy god, O Dan, lives, and, As the way of Beersheba lives, they shall fall, and never rise up again.
