Amosa 8
1 Zao ty natoron’ Añahare Talè ahy; Ingo ty vakoa pea havokaran’ asara.
The Lord Jehovah showed me this vision: Behold a basket of ripe fruits!
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 seest thou? And I said, A basket of ripe fruits. Then said Jehovah to me, The destruction of my people Israel is ripe; I will not spare 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.
The songs of the palace shall be shrieks in that day, Saith the Lord Jehovah. There shall be many dead bodies in every place, And they shall be cast forth in silence.
4 Janjiño izao ry mpigedrañe o rarakeo, ry mpañito o poi’e amy taneio,
Hear this, ye that pant to oppress the needy, And to destroy the poor of the land.
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.
That say, When will the new moon be gone, that we may sell corn, And the Sabbath, that we may set forth wheat, Making the ephah small, and the shekel heavy, And falsifying the balances for 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 the needy 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 hath sworn by the glory of Jacob: Surely I will never forget any of their deeds.
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 shall not all that dwell therein mourn? Shall not all of it rise in waves like a river, And be swept from its place, and overflowed, as by 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;
It shall come to pass in that day, saith the Lord Jehovah, That I will cause the sun to go down at noon, And will darken the land 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.
I will turn your feasts into mourning, And all your songs into lamentation; I will bring sackcloth upon all loins, And baldness upon all heads. I will fill the land with mourning, as for an only son, And its end shall be as a day of bitter woe.
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 time cometh, saith the Lord Jehovah, That I will send a famine upon the land; Not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, But of hearing the word 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 men shall wander from sea to sea, And from the north even to the east shall they run to and fro, To seek an answer from Jehovah, and shall not find it.
13 Ho toirañen-keahea o somondrara maintelèñeo naho o ajalahio.
In that day shall the fair virgins, and the young men, 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.
Who swear by the sin of Samaria, And say, By the life of thy God, O Dan! And, By the worship of Beersheba! They shall fall, and shall rise no more!
