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!
Woe to those who are at ease in Zion, and to those who are secure on the mountain of Samaria, the notable men of the chief of the nations, to whom the house 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 to Calneh, and see. From there go to Hamath the great. Then go down to Gath of the Philistines. Are they better than these kingdoms? Is their border greater than your border?
3 Isin guyyaa hamaa fageessitanii bulchiinsa jeequmsaa fiddu.
Alas for you who put far away the evil day, and cause the seat of violence 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 lie on beds of ivory, and stretch themselves on their couches, and eat the lambs out of the flock, and the calves out of the middle of the stall,
5 Isin sagalee baganaatiin weedduu faayidaa hin qabne weeddiftu; akkuma Daawitis meeshaa muuziiqaa qaqqajeelfattu.
who strum on the strings of a harp, who invent for themselves instruments of music, like David;
6 Isin xoofoo keessaa daadhii wayinii dhugdu; dibata akka malee gaarii dibattu; garuu badiisa Yoosefiif hin gadditan.
who drink wine in bowls, and anoint themselves with the best oils, but they are not grieved for the affliction of Joseph.
7 Kanaafuu isin warra jalqabatti boojiʼaman wajjin boojiʼamtanii fudhatamtu; burraaquu fi bashannanuun keessan ni hafa.
Therefore they will now go captive with the first who go captive. The feasting and lounging will 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 sworn by himself,” says the LORD, the God of Armies: “I abhor the pride of Jacob, and detest his fortresses. Therefore I will deliver up the city with all that is in it.
9 Namoonni kudhan yoo mana tokko keessatti hafan isaanis ni dhumu.
It will happen that if ten men remain in one house, they will 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.
“When a man’s relative carries him, even he who burns him, to bring bodies out of the house, and asks him who is in the innermost parts of the house, ‘Is there yet any with you?’ And he says, ‘No;’ then he will say, ‘Hush! Indeed we must not mention the LORD’s name.’
11 Kunoo Waaqayyo ajaja kenneeraatii, manneen gurguddaan ni barbadaaʼu; manneen xixinnoonis ni caccabu.
“For, behold, the LORD commands, and the great house will be smashed to pieces, and the little house into bits.
12 Fardeen kattaawwan irra ni fiiguu? Namni tokko qotiyyoodhaan achi ni qotaa? Isin garuu murtii qajeelaa gara summiitti, ija qajeelummaas gara hadhaatti geeddartaniirtu;
Do horses run on the rocky crags? Does one plough there with oxen? But you have turned justice into poison, and the fruit of righteousness into bitterness,
13 isin warra Lodebaar moʼachuutti gammaddanii, “Nu humna keenyaan Qaarnaayim qabanne mitii?” jettanii dha.
you who rejoice in a thing of nothing, who say, ‘Haven’t we taken for ourselves horns by our own strength?’
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, I will raise up against you a nation, house of Israel,” says the LORD, the God of Armies; “and they will afflict you from the entrance of Hamath to the brook of the Arabah.”
