Amos 4
1 Listen to this word, you cows of Bashan, who are on the mountain of Samaria, who oppress the poor, who crush the needy, who tell their husbands, “Bring us drinks!”
Mihainoa izao teny izao, ianareo vantotr’ ombivavin’ i Basana, izay eny an-tendrombohitr’ i Samaria, dia ianareo izay mampahory ny mahantra sy manorotoro ny malahelo ary manao amin’ ny vadinareo hoe: Mitondrà hosotrointsika.
2 The Lord Yahweh has sworn by his holiness, “Behold, the days shall come on you that they will take you away with hooks, and the last of you with fish hooks.
Jehovah Tompo efa nianiana tamin’ ny fahamasinany hoe: Indro, ho avy aminareo ny andro hitarihany anareo amin’ ny farango sy izay sisa aminareo amin’ ny fintana.
3 You will go out at the breaks in the wall, everyone straight before her; and you will cast yourselves into Harmon,” says Yahweh.
Ary avy eo amin’ ny banga no hivoahanareo, samy amin’ izay hitsiny avy; Ary horoahina ho any Harmona ianareo, hoy Jehovah.
4 “Go to Bethel, and sin; to Gilgal, and sin more. Bring your sacrifices every morning, your tithes every three days,
Mankanesa any Betela, ka manotà, ary any Gilgala, ka manotà fatratra; Ento isa-maraina ny fanatitrareo alatsa-drà ary isan-kateloana ny fahafolon-karenareo;
5 offer a sacrifice of thanksgiving of that which is leavened, and proclaim free will offerings and brag about them; for this pleases you, you children of Israel,” says the Lord Yahweh.
Mandoroa zavatra misy masirasira ho fanati-pisaorana, ary miantsoa fanati-tsitrapo, eny, ambarao izany! Satria ny toy izany no sitrakareo, ry Zanak’ Isiraely, hoy Jehovah Tompo.
6 “I also have given you cleanness of teeth in all your cities, and lack of bread in every town; yet you haven’t returned to me,” says Yahweh.
Fa Izaho dia efa nanome anareo ny mahamavovava tao an-tanànanareo rehetra, sy ny tsi-fahampian-kanina tamin’ ny fonenanareo rehetra; Nefa tsy niverina tamiko ihany ianareo, hoy Jehovah.
7 “I also have withheld the rain from you, when there were yet three months to the harvest; and I caused it to rain on one city, and caused it not to rain on another city. One field was rained on, and the field where it didn’t rain withered.
Ary Izaho koa efa nampihantona ny orana tsy ho aminareo, raha mbola telo volana sisa tsy ho fararano, ka tamin’ ny tanàna iray no nampilatsahako orana, ary tamin’ ny tanàna iray kosa tsy mba nampilatsahako azy; Ny saha iray nilatsahan’ ny orana. Ary ny saha iray kosa tsy mba nilatsahany ka maina.
8 So two or three cities staggered to one city to drink water, and were not satisfied; yet you haven’t returned to me,” says Yahweh.
Dia nivembena ny tanàna roa aman-telo nitady rano tany amin’ ny tanàna iray, kanjo tsy afa-ketaheta izy; Nefa tsy niverina tamiko ihany ianareo, hoy Jehovah.
9 “I struck you with blight and mildew many times in your gardens and your vineyards, and the swarming locusts have devoured your fig trees and your olive trees; yet you haven’t returned to me,” says Yahweh.
Efa nasiako tamin’ ny vary main’ ny rivotra sy maty fotsy ianareo; Ny habetsahan’ ny tanimbolinareo sy ny tanim-boalobokareo sy ny aviavinareo sy ny hazo olivanareo dia nohanin’ ny valala; Nefa tsy niverina tamiko ihany ianareo, hoy Jehovah.
10 “I sent plagues among you like I did Egypt. I have slain your young men with the sword, and have carried away your horses. I filled your nostrils with the stench of your camp, yet you haven’t returned to me,” says Yahweh.
Efa naterako areti-mandringana tahaka ny any Egypta ianareo; Novonoiko sabatra ny zatovonareo sady nobaboina koa ny soavalinareo; Ary nampakariko ho eo am-bavoronareo ny hamaimboan’ ny tobinareo; Nefa tsy niverina tamiko ihany ianareo, hoy Jehovah.
11 “I have overthrown some of you, as when God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah, and you were like a burning stick plucked out of the fire; yet you haven’t returned to me,” says Yahweh.
Efa nisy noravako teo aminareo tahaka ny nandravan’ Andriamanitra an’ i Sodoma sy Gomora, ka efa tahaka ny forohana nosarihana tamin’ ny afo ianareo; Nefa tsy niverina tamiko ihany ianareo, hoy Jehovah.
12 “Therefore I will do this to you, Israel; because I will do this to you, prepare to meet your God, Israel.
Koa izao no hataoko aminao, sy Isiraely, satria hanao izany aminao Aho, dia miomàna hihaona amin’ Andriamanitrao, ry Isiraely ô.
13 For, behold, he who forms the mountains, creates the wind, declares to man what is his thought, who makes the morning darkness, and treads on the high places of the earth: Yahweh, the God of Armies, is his name.”
Fa indro Ilay mamorona ny tendrombohitra sy manao na rivotra ary mampahafantatra ny olombelona izay heviny, dia Ilay mahatonga ny maraina ho aizina ary mandia ny fitoerana avo amin’ ny tany: Jehovah, Andriamanitry ny maro, no anarany.
