Amoos 3
1 Yaa saba Israaʼel, dubbii Waaqayyo isiniin mormuudhaan, maatii ani biyya Gibxii baasee fide hundaan mormuudhaan dubbate kana dhagaʼaa:
Hear this word that Yahweh has spoken against you, people of Israel, against the whole family that I brought up out of the land of Egypt:
2 “Ani maatiiwwan lafa irra jiraatan hunda keessaa isin qofa filadheera; kanaafuu ani cubbuu keessan hundaaf isinan adaba.”
“I have chosen only you from all the families of the earth. Therefore I will punish you for all your sins.”
3 Yoo walii galan malee namoonni lama wajjin ni deemuu?
Will two walk together unless they have agreed?
4 Leenci tokko yoo waan adamsu hin argatin bosona keessaa ni aadaa? Inni yoo waa qabate malee holqa isaa keessaa ni aadaa?
Will a lion roar in the forest when he has no victim? Will a young lion growl from his den if he has caught nothing?
5 Simbirri tokko lafa kiyyoon hin kaaʼaminitti kiyyoo keessa ni seentii? Kiyyoon tokko yoo wanni qabamu hin jirre akkasumatti lafaa ni utaalaa?
Can a bird fall in a trap on the ground when no bait is set for him? Will a trap spring up from the ground when it has not caught anything?
6 Yoo magaalaa keessatti malakanni afuufame, namoonni hin raafamanii? Balaan magaalaa tokkotti yoo dhufe, Waaqayyotu waan sana fide mitii?
If a trumpet sounds in a city, will the people not tremble? If disaster overtakes a city, has Yahweh not sent it?
7 Dhugumaan Waaqayyo Gooftaan utuu tajaajiltoota isaa raajotatti hin mulʼisin waan tokko illee hin hojjetu.
Surely the Lord Yahweh will do nothing unless he reveals his plan to his servants the prophets.
8 Leenci aadeera; eenyutu hin sodaanne ree? Waaqayyo Gooftaan dubbateera; yoos eenyutu raajii hin dubbanne ree?
The lion has roared; who will not fear? The Lord Yahweh has spoken; who will not prophesy?
9 Daʼannoo Ashdoodiitii fi daʼannoo Gibxitti akkana jedhaa labsaa: “Tulluuwwan Samaariyaa irratti walitti qabamaa; jeequmsa guddaa ishee keessa jiruu fi cunqursaa uummata ishee keessa jiru ilaalaa.”
Proclaim this in the fortresses at Ashdod, and in the fortresses in the land of Egypt; say, “Assemble yourselves on the mountains of Samaria and see what great confusion is in her, and what oppression is in her.
10 “Warri daʼannoo isaanii keessatti waan boojiʼamee fi waan saamame kuufatan akka itti waan qajeelaa hojjetan hin beekan” jedha Waaqayyo.
For they do not know how to do right —this is Yahweh's declaration— They store up violence and destruction in their fortresses.”
11 Kanaafuu Waaqayyo Gooftaan akkana jedha: “Diinni biyya keessan marsa; jabina keessan gad buusa; daʼannoowwan keessanis ni saama.”
Therefore, this is what the Lord Yahweh says: “An enemy will surround the land, and pull down your strongholds and plunder your fortresses.”
12 Waaqayyo akkana jedha: “Akkuma tikseen tokko lafee miilla lamaanii yookaan fiixee gurraa qofa afaan leencaatii buusu sana, Israaʼeloonni Samaariyaa keessa, qarqara siree isaanii irra, Damaasqoo keessas siree isaanii dinkii irra taaʼan akkasuma ni baraaramu.”
This is what Yahweh says: “As the shepherd rescues out of the mouth of the lion two legs only, or a piece of an ear; so will the people of Israel who live in Samaria be rescued; they will be left with only the corner of a couch or a piece of a bed.”
13 “Waan kana dhagaʼaatii mana Yaaqoobitti dhugaa baʼaa” jedha Gooftaan, Waaqayyo Waaqni Waan Hunda Dandaʼu.
Hear and testify against the house of Jacob —this is the declaration of the Lord Yahweh, the God of hosts:
14 “Guyyaa ani cubbuu isheetiif jedhee Israaʼelin adabutti, iddoowwan aarsaa Beetʼeel nan barbadeessa; gaanfawwan iddoo aarsaas caccabanii lafatti ni harcaʼu.
“For in the day that I punish the sins of Israel, I will also punish the altars of Bethel. The horns of the altar will be cut off and fall to the ground.
15 Ani mana gannaatii fi mana bonaa nan diiga; manneen ilka arbaatiin miidhagfaman ni diigamu; manneen gurguddaanis ni balleeffamu” jedha Waaqayyo.
I will destroy the winter house with the summer house. The houses of ivory will perish, and the large houses will vanish, —this is Yahweh's declaration.”
