Amos 3
1 Give ear to this word which the Lord has said against you, O children of Israel, against all the family which I took up out of the land of Egypt, saying,
Henoy izao teny izao, izay lazain’ i Jehovah ny aminareo, ry Zanak’ Isiraely, dia ny amin’ io taranaka rehetra nentiko niakatra avy tany amin’ ny tany Egypta io:
2 You only of all the families of the earth have I taken care of: for this reason I will send punishment on you for all your sins.
Hianareo ihany no fantatro tamin’ ny firenena rehetra ambonin’ ny tany, koa noho izany dia hovaliako ianareo noho ny helokareo rehetra.
3 Is it possible for two to go walking together, if not by agreement?
Ho tafara-dalana va ny roa, raha tsy efa nifanaiky?
4 Will a lion give his loud cry in the woodland when no food is there? will the voice of the young lion be sounding from his hole if he has taken nothing?
Mierona any an’ ala va ny liona, raha tsy mahita toha? Manerona ao an-davany va ny liona tanora, raha tsy mahazo zavatra?
5 Is it possible for a bird to be taken in a net on the earth where no net has been put for him? will the net come up from the earth if it has taken nothing at all?
Voan’ ny fandrika etỳ an-tany va ny vorona, raha tsy nisy tadivavarana? Mikatona va ny fandrika, raha tsy mahavoa zavatra?
6 If the horn is sounded in the town will the people not be full of fear? will evil come on a town if the Lord has not done it?
Tsofina va ao an-tanàna ny anjomara, ka tsy hatahotra ny vahoaka? Misy loza ao an-tanàna va, raha tsy Jehovah no nahatonga izany?
7 Certainly the Lord will do nothing without making clear his secret to his servants, the prophets.
Tsy manao na inona na inona tokoa Jehovah Tompo, raha tsy milaza ny heviny amin’ ny mpaminany mpanompony.
8 The cry of the lion is sounding; who will not have fear? The Lord God has said the word; is it possible for the prophet to keep quiet?
Ny liona no mierona, ka iza no tsy hatahotra? Jehovah Tompo no miteny, ka iza no tsy haminany?
9 Give out the news in the great houses of Assyria and in the land of Egypt, and say, Come together on the mountains of Samaria, and see what great outcries are there, and what cruel acts are done in it.
Ambarao ao an-tranoben’ i Asdoda sy ao an-tranobe any amin’ ny tany Egypta, ka ataovy hoe: Miangona any an-tendrombohitr’ i Samaria ianareo, ary jereo ny tabataba be ao aminy sy ny fampahoriana ao anatiny.
10 For they have no knowledge of how to do what is right, says the Lord, who are storing up violent acts and destruction in their great houses.
Fa tsy mahalala hanao ny marina izy ireo, hoy Jehovah, dia ireo izay mitahiry fandozana sy roba ao an-tranobeny.
11 For this reason, says the Lord, an attacker will come, shutting in the land on every side; and your strength will come down and your great houses will be made waste.
Koa izao no lazain’ i Jehovah Tompo: He, misy fahavalo manodidina ny tany! Hazerany ho afaka aminao ny herinao, ary hobaboina ny tranobenao.
12 These are the words of the Lord: As the keeper of sheep takes out of the mouth of the lion two legs or part of an ear; so will the children of Israel be made safe, who are resting in Samaria on seats of honour or on the silk cushions of a bed.
Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah: Toy ny famonjin’ ny mpiandry ondry ny tongotr’ ondry roa na ny sombin-tsofina eny am-bavan’ ny liona, dia toy izany no ho famonjy ny Zanak’ Isiraely, izay mipetraka ao Samaria, eo an-jorom-parafara sy eo amin’ ny lamba fandriandriana avy any Damaskosy.
13 Give ear now, and give witness against the family of Jacob, says the Lord God, the God of armies;
Henoinareo, ka ambarao hamelezana ny taranak’ i Jakoba, hoy ny Tompo, Jehovah, Andriamanitry ny maro:
14 For in the day when I give Israel punishment for his sins, I will send punishment on the altars of Beth-el, and the horns of the altar will be cut off and come down to the earth.
Amin’ ny andro hamaliako ny Isiraely noho ny fahotana ao aminy no hamaliako ny alitara ao Betela dia hokapaina ny tandroky ny alitara ka hianjera amin’ ny tany.
15 And I will send destruction on the winter house with the summer house; the ivory houses will be falling down and the great houses will come to an end, says the Lord.
Hamely ny trano ririnina sy ny trano fahavaratra Aho; Ary ho rava ny trano ivory, sady ho fongana ny trano maro, hoy Jehovah.
