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!
Alas for the careless in Zion, and for them who put confidence in the mountain of Samaria, —the distinguished among the first group of nations, to whom came in the house of Israel.
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?
Pass ye over to Calneh, and see, and go on from thence to Hamath the great, —and go down to Gath of the Philistines, are they better than these kingdoms? or their boundary larger than your boundary?
3 Isin guyyaa hamaa fageessitanii bulchiinsa jeequmsaa fiddu.
Ye who are putting far away the day of calamity, —but bringing near the abode of violence:
4 Isin siree ilka arbaatiin miidhagfame irra ciiftu; siree keessan dinkii irra boqottu. Isin xobbaallaa hoolaa filatamoo fi jabbii coccoomoo nyaattu.
Who are lying on beds of ivory, and sprawling on their couch of pleasure, —and eating the well-fed of the flock, and the fatted calves out of the midst of the stalls:
5 Isin sagalee baganaatiin weedduu faayidaa hin qabne weeddiftu; akkuma Daawitis meeshaa muuziiqaa qaqqajeelfattu.
Who are bawling at the bidding of the harp, —like David, have they invented for themselves instruments of song:
6 Isin xoofoo keessaa daadhii wayinii dhugdu; dibata akka malee gaarii dibattu; garuu badiisa Yoosefiif hin gadditan.
Who are quaffing bowls of wine, and, with the best of oils, anointing themselves, —and are not afflicted for the injury of Joseph: —
7 Kanaafuu isin warra jalqabatti boojiʼaman wajjin boojiʼamtanii fudhatamtu; burraaquu fi bashannanuun keessan ni hafa.
Therefore, at once, shall they go into exile among the first of the exiles, —so shall be disturbed the revelry of sprawlers.
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.”
Sworn hath the Lord, Yahweh, by his own life, Declareth Yahweh, God of hosts, abhorring am I, the grandeur of Jacob, and, his palaces, I hate, —therefore will I cast off the city and the fulness thereof.
9 Namoonni kudhan yoo mana tokko keessatti hafan isaanis ni dhumu.
And it shall come to pass, though there be left remaining ten men in one house, yet shall they die;
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 a man’s near of kin, even he who is about to burn the bones, shall carry him out of the house, when he shall say to him that is in the hinder parts of the house—Are there yet any with thee? and he shall say—No one. Then shall he say—Hush! for we must not invoke the name of Yahweh.
11 Kunoo Waaqayyo ajaja kenneeraatii, manneen gurguddaan ni barbadaaʼu; manneen xixinnoonis ni caccabu.
For lo! Yahweh, is giving command, and will smite the great house into ruins, —and the little house with clefts.
12 Fardeen kattaawwan irra ni fiiguu? Namni tokko qotiyyoodhaan achi ni qotaa? Isin garuu murtii qajeelaa gara summiitti, ija qajeelummaas gara hadhaatti geeddartaniirtu;
Shall horses run upon crag? or will a man plough [there] with oxen? For ye have turned to poison the sentence of justice, and the fruit of righteousness, to wormwood:
13 isin warra Lodebaar moʼachuutti gammaddanii, “Nu humna keenyaan Qaarnaayim qabanne mitii?” jettanii dha.
Who rejoice in a thing of nought, —who say, Have we not by our own strength, taken to ourselves horns?
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 behold me! raising up against you, O house of Israel, Declareth Yahweh, the God of hosts—a nation! And they shall crush you, from the entering in of Hamath, unto the torrent-bed of the waste plain.
