Amosa 8
1 Zao ty natoron’ Añahare Talè ahy; Ingo ty vakoa pea havokaran’ asara.
These things the Lord shewed to me: and behold a hook to draw down the 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: What seest thou, Amos? And I said: A hook to draw down fruit. And the Lord said to me: The end is 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 hinges of the temple shall screak in that day, saith the Lord God: many shall die: silence shall be cast in every place.
4 Janjiño izao ry mpigedrañe o rarakeo, ry mpañito o poi’e amy taneio,
Hear this, you that crush the poor, and make the needy 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 month be over, and we shall sell our wares: and the sabbath, and we shall open the corn: that we may lessen the measure, and increase the sicle, and may convey in deceitful balances,
6 Ho kaloen-tika drala o rarakeo naho hana roe o poi’eo, vaho haletan-tika reke-kafo’e i ampembay.
That we may possess the needy for money, and the poor for a pair of shoes, and may sell the refuse of the corn?
7 Fe nifanta ami’ty volonahe’ Iakobe t’Iehovà, Le lia’e tsy haliñoko o sata’ iareoo.
The Lord hath sworn against the pride of Jacob: surely I will never forget all 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 not the land tremble for this, and every one mourn that dwelleth therein: and rise up altogether as a river, and be cast out, and run down as 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, saith the Lord God, that the sun shall go down at midday, and I will make the earth dark in the day of light:
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 up sackcloth upon every back of yours, and baldness upon every head: and I will make it as the mourning of an only son, and the latter 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, saith the Lord, and I will send forth a famine into the land: not a famine of bread, nor a thirst of water, but of hearing the word of the Lord.
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 move from sea to sea, and from the north to the east: they shall go about seeking the word of the Lord, 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.
They that swear by the sin of Samaria, and say: Thy God, O Dan, liveth: and the way of Bersabee liveth: and they shall fall, and shall rise no more.
