< Amos 1 >

1 The words of Amos, who was among the herdsmen of Tekoa, which he saw concerning Israel in the days of Uzziah king of Judah and in the days of Jeroboam the son of Joash, king of Israel, two years before the earthquake.
Kun mulʼata Amoos inni tikseewwan Teqooʼaa keessaa tokko ture sun bara Uziyaan mootii Yihuudaa, Yerobiʼaam ilmi Yooʼaash immoo mootii Israaʼel turetti, utuu sochiin lafaa hin taʼin waggaa lama dura waaʼee Israaʼel argee dha.
2 He said: “The LORD will roar from Zion, and utter his voice from Jerusalem; and the pastures of the shepherds will mourn, and the top of Carmel will wither.”
Innis akkana jedhe: “Waaqayyo Xiyoon keessaa iyya; Yerusaalem keessaa sagalee dhageessisa; dirreen tiksoonni itti bobbaasan ni goga; fiixeen gaara Qarmeloosis ni coollaga.”
3 The LORD says: “For three transgressions of Damascus, yes, for four, I will not turn away its punishment, because they have threshed Gilead with threshing instruments of iron;
Waaqayyo akkana jedha: “Ani cubbuu Damaasqoo sadiif, afuriifis dheekkamsa koo duubatti hin deebisu. Sababii isaan meeshaa ittiin midhaan dhaʼan kan ilkaan sibiilaa qabuun Giliʼaadin tumaniif,
4 but I will send a fire into the house of Hazael, and it will devour the palaces of Ben Hadad.
ani ibidda daʼannoo Ben-Hadaad barbadeessu tokko, mana Hazaaʼeelitti nan erga.
5 I will break the bar of Damascus, and cut off the inhabitant from the valley of Aven, and him who holds the scepter from the house of Eden; and the people of Syria shall go into captivity to Kir,” says the LORD.
Ani karra Damaasqoo nan cabsa; mootii Sulula Aawwen keessa jiruu fi isa Beet Eden keessatti bokkuu qabatu nan balleessa. Uummanni Sooriyaa boojiʼamee Qiiritti ni geeffama” jedha Waaqayyo.
6 The LORD says: “For three transgressions of Gaza, yes, for four, I will not turn away its punishment, because they carried away captive the whole community, to deliver them up to Edom;
Waaqayyo akkana jedha: “Ani cubbuu Gaazaa sadiif, afuriifis dheekkamsa koo duubatti hin deebisu. Sababii isheen hawaasa hunda boojitee Edoomitti gurguratteef,
7 but I will send a fire on the wall of Gaza, and it will devour its palaces.
ani ibidda daʼannoo ishee barbadeessu tokko dallaa Gaazaatti nan erga.
8 I will cut off the inhabitant from Ashdod, and him who holds the scepter from Ashkelon; and I will turn my hand against Ekron; and the remnant of the Philistines will perish,” says the Lord GOD.
Ani mootii Ashdoodii fi isa Ashqaloon keessatti bokkuu qabatu sana nan balleessa. Ani hamma hambaan Filisxeemotaa duʼuutti harka koo Eqroonitti nan deebifadha” jedha Waaqayyo Gooftaan.
9 The LORD says: “For three transgressions of Tyre, yes, for four, I will not turn away its punishment; because they delivered up the whole community to Edom, and did not remember the brotherly covenant;
Waaqayyo akkana jedha: “Ani cubbuu Xiiroos sadiif, afuriifis dheekkamsa koo duubatti hin deebisu. Sababii isheen walii galtee obbolummaa cabsitee hawaasa boojiʼame guutuu Edoomitti gurguratteef
10 but I will send a fire on the wall of Tyre, and it will devour its palaces.”
ani ibidda daʼannoo ishee barbadeessu tokko dallaa Xiiroositti nan erga.”
11 The LORD says: “For three transgressions of Edom, yes, for four, I will not turn away its punishment, because he pursued his brother with the sword and cast off all pity, and his anger raged continually, and he kept his wrath forever;
Waaqayyo akkana jedha: “Ani cubbuu Edoom sadiif, afuriifis dheekkamsa koo duubatti hin deebisu. Sababii inni gara laafina hunda gatee obboleessa isaa goraadeedhaan ariʼeef, sababii aariin isaa ittuma fufee hoʼee dheekkamsi isaas utuu hin dhowwamin bobaʼeef,
12 but I will send a fire on Teman, and it will devour the palaces of Bozrah.”
ani ibidda daʼannoo Bozraa barbadeessu tokko Teemaanitti nan erga.”
13 The LORD says: “For three transgressions of the children of Ammon, yes, for four, I will not turn away its punishment, because they have ripped open the pregnant women of Gilead, that they may enlarge their border.
Waaqayyo akkana jedha: “Ani cubbuu Amoon sadiif, afuriifis dheekkamsa koo duubatti hin deebisu. Sababii inni daangaa isaa babalʼifachuuf jedhee dubartoota Giliʼaad kanneen ulfa qaban baqaqseef
14 But I will kindle a fire in the wall of Rabbah, and it will devour its palaces, with shouting in the day of battle, with a storm in the day of the whirlwind;
ani guyyaa lolaatti wacaan, guyyaa qilleensa hamaatti immoo bubbee jabaadhaan ibidda daʼannoo ishee barbadeessu tokko dallaa Rabbaatti nan erga.
15 and their king will go into captivity, he and his princes together,” says the LORD.
Mootiin ishee boojiʼamee innii fi qondaaltonni isaa wajjin ni boojiʼamu” jedha Waaqayyo.
