¹Lozan'ireo miadana ao Ziona sy ireo matokitoky foana ao an-tendrombohitr'i Samaria, dia ireo malaza eo amin'ny firenena malaza indrindra sady hatonin'ny taranak'Isiraely.

¹Wo [to] those secure in Zion, And those confident in the mount of Samaria, The marked of the chief of the nations, And come to them have the house of Israel.

²Mankanesa any Kalne ianareo, ka mijere, dia mandrosoa ihany ho any Hamata lehibe; Ary midina ho any Gatan'ny Filistina; Tsara noho ireo fanjakana ireo va izy? Sa lehibe noho ny tanin'ireo va ny taninareo?

²Pass ye over [to] Calneh and see, And go thence [to] Hamath the great, And go down [to] Gath of the Philistines, Are [they] better than these kingdoms? Greater [is] their border than your border?

³Hianareo izay mihevitra ny andro mampahory ho mbola lavitra sy mampanakaiky ny seza fandozana,

³Who are putting away the day of evil, And ye bring nigh the seat of violence,

⁴Dia ireo izay mandrimandry ao amin'ny farafara ivoriny sy mitsilailay eo amin'ny fandriandriany ary homana ny zanak'ondry avy amin'ny andian'ny ondry sy ny zanak'omby avy ao am-pahitra,

⁴Who are lying down on beds of ivory, And are spread out on their couches, And are eating lambs from the flock, And calves from the midst of the stall,

⁵Dia ireo izay mivovo foana manaraka ny feon-dokanga ary mamorona zava-maneno toy ny nataon'i Davida,

⁵Who are taking part according to the psaltery, Like David they invented for themselves instruments of music;

⁶Dia ireo izay misotro divay amin'ny lovia famafazana sady mihosotra diloilo tsara Indrindra, nefa tsy onena ny fahasimban'i Josefa.

⁶Who are drinking with bowls of wine, And [with] chief perfumes anoint [themselves], And have not been pained for the breach of Joseph.

⁷Koa amin'izao dia ho voalohany amin'izay hobaboina ireo, ary hatsahatro ny hobin'izay mitsilailay foana.

⁷Therefore now they remove at the head of the captives, And turned aside is the mourning-feast of stretched-out ones.

⁸Jehovah Tompo dia efa nianiana tamin'ny tenany, hoy Jehovah, Andriamanitry ny maro: Fahavetavetana eo anatrehako ny reharehan'i Jakoba, ary halako ny tranobeny; Koa dia hatolotro ny tanàna mbamin'izay rehetra ao anatiny.

⁸Sworn hath the Lord Jehovah by Himself, An affirmation of Jehovah, God of Hosts: I am abominating the excellency of Jacob, And his high places I have hated, And I have delivered up the city and its fulness.

⁹Ary raha hisy folo lahy sisa ao an-trano iray, dia samy ho faty ireo.

⁹And if there are left ten persons in one house, It hath come to pass — that they have died.

¹⁰Ary ny havan'izay maty, na izay handevina azy, dia hambeta azy ka hitondra ny faty hiala ao an-trano, dia hiteny amin'izay ao anaty trano hoe: Mbola misy ihany va ato aminao? Ary raha hoy izy: Tapitra! Dia hovaliana hoe: Mangina re! fa tsy tokony hotonenina ny anaran'i Jehovah. [Heb. handoro]

¹⁰And lifted him up hath his loved one, even his burner, To bring forth the bones from the house, And he said to him who [is] in the sides of the house, `Is there yet with thee?` And he said, `None,` then he said, `Hush! Save to make mention of the name of Jehovah.`

¹¹Fa, indro, Jehovah no mandidy, ka horavana ny trano lehibe, ary hotresatresahina ny trano madinika.

¹¹For lo, Jehovah is commanding, And He hath smitten the great house [with] breaches, And the little house [with] clefts.

¹²Mihazakazaka eny amin'ny sola-bato va ny soavaly. Misy olona mampihosy omby va eny, no efa navadikareo ho zava-mangidy ny rariny, ary ny vokatry ny fahamarinana ho zava-mahafaty?

¹²Do horses run on a rock? Doth one plough [it] with oxen? For ye have turned to gall judgment, And the fruit of righteousness to wormwood.

¹³Dia ianareo izay mifaly amin'ny zava-poana ka manao hoe: Moa tsy ny herinay va no ahazoanay tandroka ho anay?Fa, indro, hanangana firenena hamely anareo Aho, ry taranak'Isiraely, hoy Jehovah, Andriamanitry ny maro, dia hampahory anareo hatrany akaikin'i Hamata izy ka hatramin'ny lohasahan-driaka any amin'ny tani-hay.

¹³O ye who are rejoicing at nothing, Who are saying, `Have we not by our strength taken to ourselves horns?`

¹⁴Fa, indro, hanangana firenena hamely anareo Aho, ry taranak'Isiraely, hoy Jehovah, Andriamanitry ny maro, dia hampahory anareo hatrany akaikin'i Hamata izy ka hatramin'ny lohasahan-driaka any amin'ny tani-hay.

¹⁴Surely, lo, I am raising against you a nation, O house of Israel, An affirmation of Jehovah, God of Hosts, And they have oppressed you from the coming in to Hamath, Unto the stream of the desert.
