1Hear this word that the LORD hath spoken against you, O children of Israel, against the whole family which I brought up from the land of Egypt, saying,
1[Ny hamaliana ny Isiraely noho ny fahotany] 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:
2You only have I known of all the families of the earth: therefore I will punish you for all your iniquities.
2Hianareo ihany no fantatro tamin'ny firenena rehetra ambonin'ny tany, koa noho izany dia hovaliako ianareo noho ny helokareo rehetra.
3Can two walk together, except they be agreed?
3Ho tafara-dalana va ny roa, raha tsy efa nifanaiky?
4Will a lion roar in the forest, when he hath no prey? will a young lion cry out of his den, if he have taken nothing?
4Mierona any an'ala va ny liona, raha tsy mahita toha? Manerona ao an-davany va ny liona tanora, raha tsy mahazo zavatra?
5Can a bird fall in a snare upon the earth, where no gin is for him? shall one take up a snare from the earth, and have taken nothing at all?
5Voan'ny fandrika etỳ an-tany va ny vorona, raha tsy nisy tadivavarana? Mikatona va ny fandrika, raha tsy mahavoa zavatra?
6Shall a trumpet be blown in the city, and the people not be afraid? shall there be evil in a city, and the LORD hath not done it?
6Tsofina va ao an-tanàna ny anjomara, ka tsy hatahotra ny vahoaka? Misy loza ao an-tanàna va, raha tsy Jehovah no nahatonga izany?
7Surely the Lord GOD will do nothing, but he revealeth his secret unto his servants the prophets.
7Tsy manao na inona na inona tokoa Jehovah Tompo, raha tsy milaza ny heviny amin'ny mpaminany mpanompony.
8The lion hath roared, who will not fear? the Lord GOD hath spoken, who can but prophesy?
8Ny liona no mierona, ka iza no tsy hatahotra? Jehovah Tompo no miteny, ka iza no tsy haminany?
9Publish in the palaces at Ashdod, and in the palaces in the land of Egypt, and say, Assemble yourselves upon the mountains of Samaria, and behold the great tumults in the midst thereof, and the oppressed in the midst thereof.
9Ambarao 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. [Na: ny ampahorina]
10For they know not to do right, saith the LORD, who store up violence and robbery in their palaces.
10Fa tsy mahalala hanao ny marina izy ireo, hoy Jehovah, dia ireo izay mitahiry fandozana sy roba ao an-tranobeny.
11Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; An adversary there shall be even round about the land; and he shall bring down thy strength from thee, and thy palaces shall be spoiled.
11Koa izao no lazain'i Jehovah Tompo: He, misy fahavalo manodidina ny tany! Hazerany ho afaka aminao ny herinao, ary hobaboina ny tranobenao.
12Thus saith the LORD; As the shepherd taketh out of the mouth of the lion two legs, or a piece of an ear; so shall the children of Israel be taken out that dwell in Samaria in the corner of a bed, and in Damascus in a couch.
12Izao 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.
13Hear ye, and testify in the house of Jacob, saith the Lord GOD, the God of hosts,
13Henoinareo, ka ambarao hamelezana ny taranak'i Jakoba, hoy ny Tompo, Jehovah, Andriamanitry ny maro:
14That in the day that I shall visit the transgressions of Israel upon him I will also visit the altars of Bethel: and the horns of the altar shall be cut off, and fall to the ground.
14Amin'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.Hamely ny trano ririnina sy ny trano fahavaratra Aho; Ary ho rava ny trano ivory, sady ho fongana ny trano maro, hoy Jehovah.
15And I will smite the winter house with the summer house; and the houses of ivory shall perish, and the great houses shall have an end, saith the LORD.
15Hamely ny trano ririnina sy ny trano fahavaratra Aho; Ary ho rava ny trano ivory, sady ho fongana ny trano maro, hoy Jehovah.
