Amos 5

Henoinareo izao teny izao, izay entiko milaza anareo, dia hira fahalahelovana, ry taranak'Isiraely;

Hear ye this word which I take up against you, even a lamentation, O house of Israel.

Lavo Isiraely virijina ka tsy hahatsangana intsony; Nazera tamin'ny taniny izy, ka tsy misy mangana azy.

The virgin of Israel is fallen; she shall no more rise: she is forsaken upon her land; there is none to raise her up.

Fa izao no lazain'i Jehovah Tompo: Izay tanàna namoaka arivo, dia, indreo, zato monja no sisa: ary izay namoaka zato, dia, indreo, folo monja no sisa ho an'ny taranak'Isiraely.

For thus saith the Lord GOD; The city that went out by a thousand shall leave an hundred, and that which went forth by an hundred shall leave ten, to the house of Israel.

Fa izao no lazain'i Jehovah amin'ny taranak'Isiraely; Tadiavo Aho, dia ho velona ianareo;

For thus saith the LORD unto the house of Israel, Seek ye me, and ye shall live:

Fa aza mitady an'i Betela, na mankany Gilgala, ary aza mandroso ho any Beri-sheba; Fa ho babo tokoa Gilgala, ary Betela dia ho tonga tsinontsinona.

But seek not Beth–el, nor enter into Gilgal, and pass not to Beer–sheba: for Gilgal shall surely go into captivity, and Beth–el shall come to nought.

Mitadiava an'i Jehovah, dia ho velona ianareo; Fandrao hilatsaka toy ny afo mandevona amin'ny taranak'i Josefa Izy, ary Betela tsy hanana izay hahafaty ny afo,

Seek the LORD, and ye shall live; lest he break out like fire in the house of Joseph, and devour it, and there be none to quench it in Beth–el.

Dia ianareo izay mamadika ny rariny ho zava-mahafaty ary mampiongana ny fahamarinana ho eo amin'ny tany.

Ye who turn judgment to wormwood, and leave off righteousness in the earth,

Ilay nanao an'Ikotokelimiadilaona sy ny Telonohorefy, ary mampody ny aloky ny fahafatesana ho maraina sy manamaizina ny andro ho alina, dia ilay miantso ny rano ao an-dranomasina ka mandatsaka azy amin'ny tany: Jehovah no anarany,

Seek him that maketh the seven stars and Orion, and turneth the shadow of death into the morning, and maketh the day dark with night: that calleth for the waters of the sea, and poureth them out upon the face of the earth: The LORD is his name:

Dia Ilay mampitselatra fandravana hamely ny mahery, ka dia mihatra amin'ny tanàna mimanda ny fandravana.

That strengtheneth the spoiled against the strong, so that the spoiled shall come against the fortress.

Halany eo am-bavahady izay mananatra,11 ary ataony ho fahavetavetana izay miteny ny marina.

They hate him that rebuketh in the gate, and they abhor him that speaketh uprightly.

Koa noho ny fanitsakitsahanareo ny mahantra sy ny nampandoavanareo vary azy, dia mba nanao trano vato voapaika ihany ianareo, nefa tsy hitoetra ao aminy; Namboly tanim-boaloboka mahafinaritra ihany ianareo, nefa tsy hisotro ny divay avy aminy.

Forasmuch therefore as your treading is upon the poor, and ye take from him burdens of wheat: ye have built houses of hewn stone, but ye shall not dwell in them; ye have planted pleasant vineyards, but ye shall not drink wine of them.

Fa fantatro fa be ny helokareo, ary fatratra ny fahotanareo: Mampahory ny marina sy mandray kolikoly ianareo ary mamadika ny malahelo eo am-bavahady.

For I know your manifold transgressions and your mighty sins: they afflict the just, they take a bribe, and they turn aside the poor in the gate from their right.

Koa izay manan-tsaina dia hangina amin'izao andro izao, fa andro mampahory izao.

Therefore the prudent shall keep silence in that time; for it is an evil time.

Ny tsara no tadiavo, fa aza ny ratsy, mba ho velona ianareo; Ka dia homba anareo Jehovah, Andriamanitry ny maro, araka izay efa nolazainareo.

Seek good, and not evil, that ye may live: and so the LORD, the God of hosts, shall be with you, as ye have spoken.

Ankahalao ny ratsy, ka tiavo ny tsara, ary aoreno eo am-pitsarana ny rariny; Angamba Jehovah, Andriamanitry ny maro, hamindra fo amin'izay sisa amin'i Josefa.

Hate the evil, and love the good, and establish judgment in the gate: it may be that the LORD God of hosts will be gracious unto the remnant of Joseph.

Koa izao no lazain'i Jehovah Tompo, Andriamanitry ny maro: Eny an-kalalahana rehetra dia hisy fisaonana, ary eny an-dalambe rehetra dia hisy hanao hoe: Indrisy! Indrisy! Ary hiantso ny mpiasa tany hitomany izy, ary izay mahay hira fisaonana dia hantsoiny hanao.

Therefore the LORD, the God of hosts, the Lord, saith thus; Wailing shall be in all streets; and they shall say in all the highways, Alas! alas! and they shall call the husbandman to mourning, and such as are skilful of lamentation to wailing.

Ary any amin'ny tanim-boaloboka rehetra dia hisy fisaonana; Fa handeha hamaky eo aminao Aho, hoy Jehovah.

And in all vineyards shall be wailing: for I will pass through thee, saith the LORD.

Lozan'izay maniry ny andron'i Jehovah! Hataonareo inona moa ny andron'i Jehovah? Dia aizina, fa tsy fahazavana,

Woe unto you that desire the day of the LORD! to what end is it for you? the day of the LORD is darkness, and not light.

Tahaka ny olona mandositra ny liona ka sendra ny bera, ary rehefa tafiditra ao an-trano ka mitehin- tanana amin'ny rindrina, dia kekerin'ny menarana.

As if a man did flee from a lion, and a bear met him; or went into the house, and leaned his hand on the wall, and a serpent bit him.

Moa tsy aizina va ny andron'i Jehovah, fa tsy fahazavana? Tsy aizim-pito tsy misy mangirana akory va izany?

Shall not the day of the LORD be darkness, and not light? even very dark, and no brightness in it?

Halako, eny, laviko ny andro firavoravoanareo, ary tsy ho hanitra ankasitrahana amiko ny fivorianareo masina.

I hate, I despise your feast days, and I will not smell in your solemn assemblies.

Na dia ateranareo fanatitra dorana sy fanatitra hohanina aza Aho, dia tsy sitrako izany; Ny zanak'omby mifahy aterinareo ho fanati-pihavanana dia tsy hojereko akory.

Though ye offer me burnt offerings and your meat offerings, I will not accept them: neither will I regard the peace offerings of your fat beasts.

Atsaharo ny finaonaonan'ny hiranareo, fa maharenina Ahy; Fa tsy hihaino ny fanenon'ny lokanganareo Aho.

Take thou away from me the noise of thy songs; for I will not hear the melody of thy viols.

Ary aoka ny fitsarana hanalonalona toy ny rano, ary ny fahamarinana toy ny renirano tsy mety ritra.

But let judgment run down as waters, and righteousness as a mighty stream.

Moa efa nanatitra fanatitra hohanina sy fanatitra alatsa-drà ho Ahy tany an-efitra efa-polo taona va ianareo, ry taranak'i Isiraely?

Have ye offered unto me sacrifices and offerings in the wilderness forty years, O house of Israel?

Tsia, fa ny nitondra ny tabernakelin'ny mpanjakanareo sy ny fipetrahan'ny sampinareo ihany no nataonareo, dia ny kintan'ny andriamanitrareo, izay nataonareo ho anareo

But ye have borne the tabernacle of your Moloch and Chiun your images, the star of your god, which ye made to yourselves.

Ka dia ho entiko ho babo any ankoatr'i Damaskosy ianareo, hoy Jehovah, Andriamanitry ny maro no anarany.

Therefore will I cause you to go into captivity beyond Damascus, saith the LORD, whose name is The God of hosts.
