Amoos 6
1 Yaa warra yaaddoo malee Xiyoon keessa jiraattan, kanneen Tulluu Samaariyaa irra waan nagaadhaan jiraatan seetan, isaan namoota ulfaatoo saba durii, kanneen sabni Israaʼel gara isaanii dhufuuf wayyoo!
Sorrow to those who are resting in comfort in Zion, and to those who have no fear of danger in the mountain of Samaria, the noted men of the chief of the nations, to whom the people of Israel come!
2 Gara Kaalneetti darbaatii ilaalaa; achii kaʼaatii gara Hamaati guddichaa dhaqaa; ergasii immoo Gaati Filisxeem keessaatti gad buʼaa. Isaan mootummoota keessan lamaan caaluu? Biyyi isaanii biyya keessan caalaa balʼataa?
Go on to Calneh and see; and from there go to Hamath the great; then go down to Gath of the Philistines: are you better than these kingdoms? or is your land wider than theirs?
3 Isin guyyaa hamaa fageessitanii bulchiinsa jeequmsaa fiddu.
You who put far away the evil day, causing the rule of the violent to come near;
4 Isin siree ilka arbaatiin miidhagfame irra ciiftu; siree keessan dinkii irra boqottu. Isin xobbaallaa hoolaa filatamoo fi jabbii coccoomoo nyaattu.
Who are resting on beds of ivory, stretched out on soft seats, feasting on lambs from the flock and young oxen from the cattle-house;
5 Isin sagalee baganaatiin weedduu faayidaa hin qabne weeddiftu; akkuma Daawitis meeshaa muuziiqaa qaqqajeelfattu.
Making foolish songs to the sound of corded instruments, and designing for themselves instruments of music, like David;
6 Isin xoofoo keessaa daadhii wayinii dhugdu; dibata akka malee gaarii dibattu; garuu badiisa Yoosefiif hin gadditan.
Drinking wine in basins, rubbing themselves with the best oils; but they have no grief for the destruction of Joseph.
7 Kanaafuu isin warra jalqabatti boojiʼaman wajjin boojiʼamtanii fudhatamtu; burraaquu fi bashannanuun keessan ni hafa.
So now they will go away prisoners with the first of those who are made prisoners, and the loud cry of those who were stretched out will come to an end.
8 Waaqayyo Gooftaan ofii isaatiin kakateera; Waaqayyo Waaqni Waan Hunda Dandaʼu akkana jedha: “Ani of tuulummaa Yaaqoob nan balfa; daʼannoo isaas nan jibba; ani magaalattii fi waan ishee keessa jiru hunda dabarsee nan kenna.”
The Lord God has taken an oath by himself, says the Lord, the God of armies: the pride of Jacob is disgusting to me, and I have hate for his great houses: so I will give up the town with everything in it.
9 Namoonni kudhan yoo mana tokko keessatti hafan isaanis ni dhumu.
Then it will come about that if there are still ten men in a house, death will overtake them.
10 Yoo firri reeffa baasee gubu tokko mana sana keessaa baasuuf dhufee nama dhokatee achi jiru kamiin iyyuu, “Namni tokko iyyuu si wajjin jiraa?” jedhee gaafatee namichi sun, “Hin jiru” jedheen, inni “Calʼisi! Nu maqaa Waaqayyoo dhaʼuu hin qabnu” jedhaan.
And when a man's relation, even the one who is responsible for burning his body, lifting him up to take his bones out of the house, says to him who is in the inmost part of the house, Is there still anyone with you? and he says, No; then he will say, Keep quiet, for the name of the Lord may not be named.
11 Kunoo Waaqayyo ajaja kenneeraatii, manneen gurguddaan ni barbadaaʼu; manneen xixinnoonis ni caccabu.
For see, at the order of the Lord the great house will be full of cracks and the little house will be broken.
12 Fardeen kattaawwan irra ni fiiguu? Namni tokko qotiyyoodhaan achi ni qotaa? Isin garuu murtii qajeelaa gara summiitti, ija qajeelummaas gara hadhaatti geeddartaniirtu;
Is it possible for horses to go running on the rock? may the sea be ploughed with oxen? for the right to be turned by you into poison, and the fruit of righteousness into a bitter plant?
13 isin warra Lodebaar moʼachuutti gammaddanii, “Nu humna keenyaan Qaarnaayim qabanne mitii?” jettanii dha.
You whose joy is in a thing of no value, who say, Have we not taken for ourselves horns by the strength which is ours?
14 Waaqayyo Waaqni Waan Hunda Dandaʼu akkana jedhaatii; “Yaa mana Israaʼel, ani saba Leeboo Hamaatii jalqabee hamma sulula Arabbaatti karaa keessan hunda irratti isin cunqursu tokko isinittin kaasa.”
For see, I will send against you a nation, O Israel, says the Lord, the God of armies, ruling you cruelly from the way into Hamath as far as the stream of the Arabah.
