Amos 4

1 You [wealthy women] of Samaria [have grown fat like] [MET] the fat cows of the Bashan [region]. You oppress poor people and you cause needy people to suffer. And you say to your husbands, “Bring us [more wine] to drink!”

Dinggin ninyo ang salitang ito, Oh mga baka ng Basan, na nangasa bundok ng Samaria, na nagsisipighati sa mga dukha, na nagsisigipit sa mga mapagkailangan, na nangagsasabi sa kanilang mga panginoon, Dalhin ninyo rito, at ating inumin.

2 But Yahweh [our] God has said this: “Because I am holy, I solemnly promise this: It will [soon] be the time when you all will be taken [to another country]; [your enemies will take you away as though they are] using sharp hooks [DOU] [to grab you].

Ang Panginoong Dios ay sumumpa sa pamamagitan ng kaniyang kabanalan, na, narito, ang mga kaarawan ay darating sa inyo, na kanilang huhulihin kayo ng mga taga ng bingwit, at ang nalabi sa inyo ay ng mga pamingwit.

3 [Your enemies] will drag you out through breaks/holes [in your city walls], and they will throw you outside the city. [That will surely happen because I], Yahweh, have said it!

At kayo'y magsisilabas sa mga sira, na bawa't isa'y tuloytuloy; at kayo'y mangagpapakatapon sa Harmon, sabi ng Panginoon.

4 Go to Bethel and Gilgal [towns where many people worship me] and sin more and more [SAR]! [I say that not because I want you to do it], [but because it is what you have always been doing]! Offer sacrifices on the morning [after you arrive], [and bring me] (a tithe/one tenth) of your crops the next day.

Magsiparoon kayo sa Beth-el, at magsisalangsang kayo; sa Gilgal, at paramihin ninyo ang pagsalangsang; at inyong dalhin ang inyong mga hain tuwing umaga, at ang inyong mga ikasangpung bahagi tuwing tatlong araw;

5 Bring offerings of bread to thank me, and [other] offerings that are not required/commanded, and boast about [these offerings that you bring], because that is what you like to do, [but you do it to impress others, not to please me]. [That is certainly true, because I], Yahweh, have said it.

At kayo'y mangaghandog ng hain ng pasasalamat na may lebadura, at kayo'y mangaghayag ng kusang mga handog at inyong itanyag; sapagka't ito'y nakalulugod sa inyo, Oh ninyong mga anak ni Israel, sabi ng Panginoong Dios.

6 I [am the one who] caused there to be no food in any of your cities and towns [DOU], but you rejected me in spite of that.

At binigyan ko naman kayo ng kalinisan ng mga ngipin sa lahat ninyong mga bayan, at kakulangan ng tinapay sa lahat ninyong mga dako; gayon ma'y hindi kayo nanganumbalik sa akin, sabi ng Panginoon.

7 When it was still three months before [the time of] harvesting [crops], [at the time when your crops needed rain the most], I prevented rain from falling. [Sometimes] I allowed rain to fall on some towns and prevented it from falling on other towns. Rain fell on some fields, but it did not fall on other fields, with the result that [the soil in] those fields [where it did not rain] dried up.

At akin namang pinigil ang ulan sa inyo, nang tatlong buwan na lamang at pagaani na; at aking pinaulan sa isang bayan, at hindi ko pinaulan sa kabilang bayan: isang bahagi ay inulanan, at ang bahagi na hindi inulanan ay natuyo.

8 People would stagger from one town to another town to find water, but they could not even get enough water to drink, but in spite of that, you have not returned to me. [That is certainly true because I], Yahweh, have said it!

Sa gayo'y dalawa o tatlong bayan ay nagsigala sa isang bayan upang magsiinom ng tubig, at hindi nangapawi ang uhaw: gayon ma'y hindi kayo nanganumbalik sa akin, sabi ng Panginoon.

9 I caused your grain fields to dry up; I caused your gardens and vineyards to be struck/destroyed by (blight/hot winds) and mildew. [I sent] locusts to eat [the leaves on] your fig trees and olive trees, but in spite of that, you rejected me. [That is certainly true because I], Yahweh, have said it!

Aking sinalot kayo ng pagkalanta at ng amag: ang karamihan ng inyong mga halaman, at ng inyong mga ubasan, at ng inyong mga igusan, at ng inyong mga olibohan ay nilipol ng tipaklong: gayon ma'y hindi kayo nanganumbalik sa akin, sabi ng Panginoon.

10 I caused you to experience (plagues/severe sicknesses) like the plagues [that I sent to the people] of Egypt. I caused [many of] your young men to die in battles. I allowed [your enemies] to capture your horses. [Many of your soldiers were killed, ] and I caused your camps to be filled with the smell/stink of their [decaying] corpses. But in spite of that, you rejected me. [That is certainly true, because] I, Yahweh, have said it!

Aking pinarating sa gitna ninyo ang salot na gaya ng sa Egipto: ang inyong mga binata ay pinatay ko ng tabak, at dinala ko ang inyong mga kabayo; at aking pinaalingasaw ang baho ng inyong kampamento hanggang sa inyong mga butas ng ilong; gayon ma'y hindi kayo nanganumbalik sa akin, sabi ng Panginoon.

11 I got rid of many of you, like I got rid of [the people in] Sodom and Gomorrah. [Those of] you who [did not die] were like [SIM] a burning stick that was snatched from a fire [so that it would not burn completely]. But in spite of that, you rejected me. [That is certainly true, because I], Yahweh, have said it!

Aking ibinuwal ang iba sa inyo, gaya nang ibuwal ng Dios ang Sodoma at Gomorra, at kayo'y naging gaya ng dupong na naagaw sa apoy: gayon ma'y hindi kayo nanganumbalik sa akin, sabi ng Panginoon.

12 So [now], you [people of] Israel, I am going to punish you. Prepare to stand in front of me, your God, [when I judge you]!

Kaya't ganito ang gagawin ko sa iyo, Oh Israel; at yamang aking gagawin ito sa iyo, humanda kang salubungin mo ang iyong Dios, Oh Israel.

13 I created the mountains, and [I] created winds. I reveal to humans what I am thinking. I [sometimes] cause the daylight to become dark [like the night]. I [rule over everything]; I [even] walk on the highest mountains on the earth! I am the Commander of the armies of angels!”

Sapagka't, narito, siyang nagaanyo ng mga bundok, at lumilikha ng hangin, at nagpapahayag sa tao kung ano ang kaniyang pagiisip; na nagpapadilim ng umaga, at yumayapak sa mga mataas na dako ng lupa, ang Panginoon, ang Dios ng mga hukbo ay siya niyang pangalan.
