Amoos 4

1 Isin yaa saawwan Baashaan kanneen Tulluu Samaariyaa irra jirtan, yaa dubartoota, isin warri hiyyeeyyii fi rakkattoota cunqursitanii dhirsoota keessaniin, “Dhugaatii nuuf fidaa!” jettan dubbii kana dhagaʼaa.

Hear this word, you cows of Bashan, that are in the mountain of Samaria, which oppress the poor, which crush the needy, which say to their masters, Bring, and let us drink.

2 Waaqayyo Gooftaan akkana jedhee qulqullummaa isaatiin kakateera: “Yeroon isin itti hokkoodhaan, isin keessaa namni dhumaa immoo qabduu qurxummiitiin qabamu tokko dhugumaan ni dhufa.

The Lord GOD has sworn by his holiness, that, see, the days shall come on you, that he will take you away with hooks, and your posterity with fishhooks.

3 Isin tokko tokkoon qajeeltanii qaawwa dallaatiin ni baatu; gara Harmoonittis ni darbatamtu” jedha Waaqayyo.

And you shall go out at the breaches, every cow at that which is before her; and you shall cast them into the palace, says the LORD.

4 “Beetʼeel dhaqaatii cubbuu hojjedhaa; Gilgaal dhaqaatii cubbuu baayʼee hojjedhaa. Ganama ganama aarsaa keessan dhiʼeessaa; waggaa sadii sadiitti immoo kennaa keessan harka kudhan keessaa harka tokko fidaa.

Come to Bethel, and transgress; at Gilgal multiply transgression; and bring your sacrifices every morning, and your tithes after three years:

5 Buddeena raacitii qabu aarsaa galataa godhaatii gubaa; aarsaa fedhiidhaan kennitan labsaa; beeksisaas; yaa Israaʼeloota, wanni isin hojjechuu jaallattan kanaatii, ittiin boonaa” jedha Waaqayyo Gooftaan.

And offer a sacrifice of thanksgiving with leaven, and proclaim and publish the free offerings: for this likes you, O you children of Israel, says the Lord GOD.

6 “Ani magaalaa hunda keessatti garaa duwwaa isiniif kenneera; magaalaa hunda keessattis buddeena isin dhabsiiseera; isin garuu gara kootti hin deebine” jedha Waaqayyo.

And I also have given you cleanness of teeth in all your cities, and want of bread in all your places: yet have you not returned to me, says the LORD.

7 “Ani yeroo midhaan haamamuuf jiʼi sadii hafutti bokkaa isin irraa nan kute. Ani magaalaa tokkotti bokkaa ergee kaan irraa immoo nan dhaabe. Lafti qonnaa tokko bokkaa argatee kaan garuu homaa dhabee goge.

And also I have withheld the rain from you, when there were yet three months to the harvest: and I caused it to rain on one city, and caused it not to rain on another city: one piece was rained on, and the piece whereupon it rained not withered.

8 Uummanni bishaan barbaacha magaalaadhaa gara magaalaatti joore; garuu waan dhugaatiif isa gaʼu hin arganne; taʼus isin gara kootti hin deebine” jedha Waaqayyo.

So two or three cities wandered to one city, to drink water; but they were not satisfied: yet have you not returned to me, says the LORD.

9 “Ani yeroo hedduu iddoo biqiltuutii fi wayinii keessan waagii fi awwaaroodhaan dhaʼeen balleesse. Hawwaannisni harbuu fi ejersa keessan barbadeesse; taʼus isin gara kootti hin deebine” jedha Waaqayyo.

I have smitten you with blasting and mildew: when your gardens and your vineyards and your fig trees and your olive trees increased, the palmerworm devoured them: yet have you not returned to me, says the LORD.

10 “Ani akkuman biyya Gibxi godhe sana dhaʼicha isinitti nan erge. Ani fardeen isin boojitan wajjin dargaggoota keessan goraadeedhaan nan fixe. Ajaa qubata keessaniitiin funyaan keessan nan guute; isin garuu gara kootti hin deebine” jedha Waaqayyo.

I have sent among you the pestilence after the manner of Egypt: your young men have I slain with the sword, and have taken away your horses; and I have made the stink of your camps to come up to your nostrils: yet have you not returned to me, says the LORD.

11 “Ani akkuman Sodoomii fi Gomoraa garagalche sana isin keessaa nama tokko tokko garagalcheera. Isin akkuma muka bobaʼu kan ibidda keessaa butamee ti; taʼus isin gara kootti hin deebine” jedha Waaqayyo.

I have overthrown some of you, as God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah, and you were as a firebrand plucked out of the burning: yet have you not returned to me, says the LORD.

12 “Kanaafuu yaa Israaʼel, ani akkanan isin godha; sababii ani akkana isin godhuuf yaa Israaʼel Waaqa kee arguuf qophaaʼi.”

Therefore thus will I do to you, O Israel: and because I will do this to you, prepare to meet your God, O Israel.

13 Inni tulluuwwan tolchee bubbee uumee yaada isaa namatti mulʼisu sun, inni barii dukkaneessee iddoowwan lafa ol kaʼoo irra ejjetu sun, maqaan isaa Waaqayyo, Waaqa Waan Hunda Dandaʼuu dha.

For, see, he that forms the mountains, and creates the wind, and declares to man what is his thought, that makes the morning darkness, and treads on the high places of the earth, The LORD, The God of hosts, is his name.
