Amos 5

1Dinggin ninyo ang salitang ito na aking itinataghoy sa inyo, Oh sangbahayan ni Israel. 2Ang dalaga ng Israel ay nabuwal; siya'y hindi na magbabangon pa, siya'y nahagis sa kaniyang lupain; walang magbangon sa kaniya. 3Sapagka't ganito ang sabi ng Panginoong Dios: Ang bayan na lalabas na isang libo, maiiwang isang daan, at ang lalabas na isang daan ay maiiwang sangpu, sa sangbahayan ni Israel. 4Sapagka't ganito ang sabi ng Panginoon sa sangbahayan ni Israel; Hanapin ninyo ako, at kayo'y mangabubuhay; 5Nguni't huwag ninyong hanapin ang Beth-el, ni magsipasok man sa Gilgal, at huwag kayong magsidaan sa Beer-seba: sapagka't walang pagsala ang Gilgal ay papasok sa pagkabihag, at ang Beth-el ay mauuwi sa wala. 6Inyong hanapin ang Panginoon, at kayo'y mangabubuhay; baka siya'y sumigalbong parang apoy sa sangbahayan ni Jose, at supukin yaon, at sa Beth-el ay walang makapapatay niyaon: 7Kayong nagpapaging ajenjo sa kahatulan, at nagwawaksi ng katuwiran sa lupa. 8Inyong hanapin ang lumikha ng mga Pleyades at ng Orion, at ang lilim ng kamatayan ay pinapaging umaga, pinapagdilim ang araw sa pamamagitan ng gabi; yaong tumatawag sa tubig sa dagat, at nagbubugso ng mga yaon sa ibabaw ng lupa (Panginoon ang siya niyang pangalan); 9Yaong nagdadala ng biglang kabuwalan sa malakas, na anopa't ang pagkasira ay dumarating sa katibayan. 10Kanilang kinapopootan ang nananaway sa pintuang-bayan, at kanilang kinasusuklaman ang nagsasalita ng matuwid. 11Palibhasa nga't inyong niyayapakan ang dukha, at inyong hinihingan siya ng trigo: kayo'y nangagtayo ng mga bahay na batong tinabas, nguni't hindi ninyo tatahanan; kayo'y nangagtanim ng mga maligayang ubasan, nguni't hindi kayo magsisiinom ng alak niyaon. 12Sapagka't talastas ko kung gaano karami ang inyong mga pagsalangsang, at kung gaano kalaki ang inyong mga kasalanan: kayong nagsisidalamhati sa ganap, na kinukunan ninyo ng suhol, at inyong inililigaw sa kanilang matuwid ang mapagkailangan sa pintuang-bayan. 13Kaya't siya na mabait ay tatahimik sa panahong yaon; sapagka't masamang panahon. 14Magsihanap kayo ng kabutihan, at huwag kasamaan, upang kayo'y mangabuhay; at sa gayo'y ang Panginoon, ang Dios ng mga hukbo, ay sasa inyo, gaya ng inyong sinasabi. 15Inyong kapootan ang masama, at ibigin ang mabuti, at kayo'y mangagtatatag ng kahatulan sa pintuang-bayan: marahil ang Panginoon, ang Dios ng mga hukbo ay magiging mapagbiyaya sa nalabi sa Jose. 16Kaya't ganito ang sabi ng Panginoon, ng Dios ng mga hukbo, ng Panginoon: Panaghoy ay sa lahat na daan; at sila'y mangagsasabi sa lahat na lansangan, Sa aba! sa aba! at kanilang tatawagin ang mangbubukid sa pananambitan, at ang lahat na bihasa sa pananaghoy sa pagtaghoy. 17At sa lahat ng ubasan ay magkakaroon ng panaghoy; sapagka't ako'y daraan sa gitna mo, sabi ng Panginoon. 18Sa aba ninyo na nangagnanasa ng kaarawan ng Panginoon! bakit ninyo ninanasa ang kaarawan ng Panginoon? kadiliman nga, at hindi kaliwanagan. 19Gaya ng kung ang tao ay tumatakas sa leon, at isang oso ang sumasalubong sa kaniya; o pumapasok sa bahay at ikinakapit ang kaniyang kamay sa pinid, at isang ahas ang tumutuka sa kaniya. 20Hindi baga magiging kadiliman ang kaarawan ng Panginoon, at hindi kaliwanagan? na totoong madilim, at walang ningning? 21Aking kinapopootan, aking hinahamak ang inyong mga kapistahan, at hindi ako malulugod sa inyong mga takdang kapulungan. 22Oo, bagaman inyong ihandog sa akin ang inyong mga handog na susunugin at mga handog na harina, hindi ko tatanggapin; ni akin mang kalulugdan ang mga handog tungkol sa kapayapaan na inyong mga matabang hayop. 23Ihiwalay mo sa akin ang ingay ng iyong mga awit; sapagka't hindi ko didinggin ang tinig ng iyong mga biola. 24Kundi bumugso ang katarungan na parang tubig, at ang katuwiran na parang malakas na agos. 25Nagdala baga kayo sa akin ng mga hain, at ng mga handog sa ilang na apat na pung taon, Oh sangbahayan ni Israel? 26Oo, inyong pinasan ang tabernakulo ng inyong hari at ang dambana ng inyong mga larawan, ang bituin ng inyong dios, na inyong ginawa para sa inyong sarili. 27Kaya't kayo'y aking papapasukin sa pagkabihag sa dako roon ng Damasco, sabi ng Panginoon, na ang pangala'y Dios ng mga hukbo.

1Listen to this word which I take up for a lamentation over you, O house of Israel. 2“The virgin of Israel has fallen; She shall rise no more. She is cast down on her land; there is no one to raise her up.” 3For thus says the Lord Yahweh: “The city that went out a thousand shall have a hundred left, and that which went out one hundred shall have ten left to the house of Israel.” 4For thus says Yahweh to the house of Israel: “Seek me, and you will live; 5but don’t seek Bethel, nor enter into Gilgal, and don’t pass to Beersheba: for Gilgal shall surely go into captivity, and Bethel shall come to nothing. 6Seek Yahweh, and you will live; lest he break out like fire in the house of Joseph, and it devour, and there be no one to quench it in Bethel. 7You who turn justice to wormwood, and cast down righteousness to the earth: 8seek him who made the Pleiades and Orion, and turns the shadow of death into the morning, and makes the day dark with night; who calls for the waters of the sea, and pours them out on the surface of the earth, Yahweh is his name, 9who brings sudden destruction on the strong, so that destruction comes on the fortress. 10They hate him who reproves in the gate, and they abhor him who speaks blamelessly. 11Therefore, because you trample on the poor, and take taxes from him of wheat: You have built houses of cut stone, but you will not dwell in them. You have planted pleasant vineyards, but you shall not drink their wine. 12For I know how many your offenses, and how great are your sins— you who afflict the just, who take a bribe, and who turn aside the needy in the courts. 13Therefore a prudent person keeps silent in such a time, for it is an evil time. 14Seek good, and not evil, that you may live; and so Yahweh, the God of Armies, will be with you, as you say. 15Hate evil, love good, and establish justice in the courts. It may be that Yahweh, the God of Armies, will be gracious to the remnant of Joseph.” 16Therefore thus says Yahweh, the God of Armies, the Lord: “Wailing will be in all the broad ways; and they will say in all the streets, ‘Alas! Alas!’ and they will call the farmer to mourning, and those who are skillful in lamentation to wailing. 17In all vineyards there will be wailing; for I will pass through your midst,” says Yahweh. 18“Woe to you who desire the day of Yahweh! Why do you long for the day of Yahweh? It is darkness, and not light. 19As if a man fled from a lion, and a bear met him; Or he went into the house and leaned his hand on the wall, and a snake bit him. 20Won’t the day of Yahweh be darkness, and not light? Even very dark, and no brightness in it? 21I hate, I despise your feasts, and I can’t stand your solemn assemblies. 22Yes, though you offer me your burnt offerings and meal offerings, I will not accept them; neither will I regard the peace offerings of your fat animals. 23Take away from me the noise of your songs! I will not listen to the music of your harps. 24But let justice roll on like rivers, and righteousness like a mighty stream. 25“Did you bring to me sacrifices and offerings in the wilderness forty years, house of Israel? 26You also carried the tent of your king and the shrine of your images, the star of your god, which you made for yourselves. 27Therefore will I cause you to go into captivity beyond Damascus,” says Yahweh, whose name is the God of Armies.

1Hoort dit woord, dat Ik over ulieden ophef, een klaaglied, o huis Israels! 2De jonkvrouw Israels is gevallen, zij zal niet weder opstaan; zij is verlaten op haar land, er is niemand, die haar opricht. 3Want zo zegt de Heere HEERE: De stad, die uitgaat met duizend, zal honderd overhouden, en die uitgaat met honderd, zal tien overhouden, in het huis Israels. 4Want zo zegt de HEERE tot het huis Israels: Zoekt Mij, en leeft. 5Maar zoekt Beth-El niet, en komt niet te Gilgal, en gaat niet over naar Ber-Seba; want Gilgal zal voorzeker gevankelijk worden weggevoerd, en Beth-El zal worden tot niet. 6Zoekt den HEERE, en leeft; opdat Hij niet doorbreke in het huis van Jozef als een vuur, dat vertere, zodat er niemand zij, die het blusse in Beth-El; 7Die het recht in alsem verkeren, en de gerechtigheid ter aarde doen liggen. 8Die het Zevengesternte en den Orion maakt, en de doodsschaduw in den morgenstond verandert, en den dag als den nacht verduistert; Die de wateren der zee roept, en giet ze uit op den aardbodem, HEERE is Zijn Naam. 9Die Zich verkwikt door verwoesting over een sterke; zodat de verwoesting komt over een vesting. 10Zij haten in de poort dengene, die bestraft, en hebben een gruwel van dien, die oprechtelijk spreekt. 11Daarom, omdat gij den arme vertreedt en een last koren van hem neemt, zo hebt gij wel huizen gebouwd van gehouwen steen, maar gij zult daarin niet wonen; gij hebt gewenste wijngaarden geplant, maar gij zult derzelver wijn niet drinken. 12Want Ik weet, dat uw overtredingen menigvuldig, en uw zonden machtig vele zijn; zij benauwen den rechtvaardige, nemen zoengeld, en verstoten de nooddruftigen in de poort. 13Daarom zal de verstandige te dier tijd zwijgen, want het zal een boze tijd zijn. 14Zoekt het goede, en niet het boze, opdat gij leeft; en alzo zal de HEERE, de God der heirscharen, met ulieden zijn, gelijk als gij zegt. 15Haat het boze, en hebt lief het goede, en bestelt het recht in de poort, misschien zal de HEERE, de God der heirscharen, aan Jozefs overblijfsel genadig zijn. 16Daarom, zo zegt de HEERE, de God der heirscharen, de Heere: Op alle straten zal rouwklage zijn, en in alle wijken zullen zij zeggen: Och! och! en zullen den akkerman roepen tot treuren, en rouwklage zal zijn bij degenen, die verstand van kermen hebben. 17Ja, in alle wijngaarden zal rouwklage zijn; want Ik zal door het midden van u doorgaan; zegt de HEERE. 18Wee dien, die des HEEREN dag begeren! Waartoe toch zal ulieden de dag des HEEREN zijn? Hij zal duisternis wezen en geen licht. 19Als wanneer iemand vlood voor het aangezicht eens leeuws, en hem ontmoette een beer; of dat hij kwam in een huis, en leunde met zijn hand aan den wand, en hem beet een slang. 20Zal dan niet des HEEREN dag duisternis zijn, en geen licht? En donkerheid, zodat er geen glans aan zij? 21Ik haat, Ik versmaad uw feesten, en Ik mag uw verbods dagen niet rieken. 22Want ofschoon gij Mij brandofferen offert, mitsgaders uw spijsofferen, Ik heb er toch geen welgevallen aan; en het dankoffer van uw vette beesten mag Ik niet aanzien. 23Doe het getier uwer liederen van Mij weg; ook mag Ik uw luiten spel niet horen. 24Maar laat het oordeel zich daarhenen wenden als de wateren, en de gerechtigheid als een sterke beek. 25Hebt gij Mij veertig jaren in de woestijn slachtofferen en spijsoffer toegebracht, o huis Israels? 26Ja, gij droegt de tent van uw Melech, en den Kijun, uw beelden, de ster uws gods, dien gij uzelf hadt gemaakt. 27Daarom zal Ik ulieden gevankelijk wegvoeren, ver boven Damaskus henen, zegt de HEERE, Wiens Naam is God der heirscharen.
