Yahweh Speaks Against Israel
3 Hear this word which Yahweh has spoken against you, sons of Israel, against the entire [a](A)family which [b]He brought up from the land of Egypt, saying,
2 “(B)You only have I known among all the families of the earth;
Therefore I will [c](C)punish you for all your iniquities.”
3 Do two men walk together unless they have made an [d]appointment?
4 Does a (D)lion roar in the forest when it has no prey?
Does a young lion give forth its voice from its den unless it has captured something?
5 Does a bird fall into a trap on the ground when there is no [e]bait in it?
Does a trap spring up from the earth when it captures nothing at all?
6 If a (E)trumpet is blown in a city will not the people tremble?
If a (F)calamity happens in a city has not Yahweh done it?
7 [f]Surely Lord Yahweh does nothing
Unless He (G)reveals His secret counsel
To His slaves the prophets.
8 A (H)lion has roared! Who will not fear?
(I)Lord Yahweh has spoken! (J)Who can but prophesy?
9 Make it heard on the citadels in (K)Ashdod and on the citadels in the land of Egypt and say, “Gather yourselves on the (L)mountains of Samaria and see the great confusions within her and the (M)oppressions in her midst. 10 But they (N)do not know how to do what is right,” declares Yahweh, “these who (O)hoard up [g]violence and devastation in their citadels.”
11 Therefore, thus says Lord Yahweh,
“An (P)adversary, even one surrounding the land,
Will pull down your [h]strength from you,
And your (Q)citadels will be plundered.”
12 Thus says Yahweh,
“Just as the shepherd (R)delivers from the lion’s mouth a couple of legs or a piece of an ear,
So will the sons of Israel inhabiting Samaria be delivered—
With the (S)corner of a bed and the [i](T)cover of a couch!
13 Hear and (U)testify against the house of Jacob,”
Declares Lord Yahweh, the God of hosts.
14 “For on the day that I punish Israel’s transgressions,
I will also punish the altars of (V)Bethel;
The horns of the altar will be cut in pieces,
And they will fall to the ground.
15 I will also strike the [j](W)winter house together with the (X)summer house;
The houses of [k](Y)ivory will also perish,
And the (Z)great houses will come to an end,”
Declares Yahweh.

Ang Biblia (1978)
Ang pangangailangan ng paghula ng masama laban sa Israel.
3 Dinggin ninyo ang salitang ito na sinalita ng Panginoon laban sa inyo, Oh (A)mga anak ni Israel, laban sa buong angkan (B)na aking iniahon mula sa lupain ng Egipto, na sinasabi,
2 Kayo lamang ang aking (C)nakilala sa lahat ng angkan sa lupa: (D)kaya't aking dadalawin sa inyo ang lahat ninyong kasamaan.
3 Makalalakad baga ang dalawa na magkasama, liban na sila'y magkasundo?
4 Uungal baga ang leon sa gubat, kung wala siyang huli? sisigaw baga ang batang leon sa kaniyang yungib, kung wala siyang huling anoman?
5 Malalaglag baga ang ibon sa silo sa ibabaw ng lupa, ng walang silo sa kaniya? lulukso baga ang panghuli mula sa lupa, at walang nahuling anoman?
6 Tutunog baga ang pakakak sa bayan, at ang bayan ay hindi manginginig? (E)sasapit baga ang kasamaan sa bayan, at hindi ginawa ng Panginoon?
7 Tunay na ang Panginoong Dios ay walang gagawin, (F)kundi kaniyang ihahayag ang kaniyang lihim sa kaniyang mga lingkod na mga propeta.
8 Ang leon ay umungal, sinong di matatakot? Ang Panginoong Dios ay nagsalita; (G)sinong hindi manghuhula?
9 Ihayag ninyo sa mga palacio sa (H)Asdod, at sa mga palacio sa lupain ng Egipto, at inyong sabihin, Magpipisan kayo sa mga bundok ng (I)Samaria, at inyong masdan kung anong laking ingay ang nandoon, at kung anong pahirap ang nasa gitna niyaon.
10 Sapagka't hindi sila marunong magsigawa ng matuwid, sabi ng Panginoon, na nagiimbak ng pangdadahas at pagnanakaw sa kanilang mga palacio.
11 Kaya't ganito ang sabi ng Panginoong Dios: Kaaway ay paririto sa palibot ng lupain; at kaniyang ibabagsak ang lakas mo sa iyo, at ang iyong mga palacio ay sasamsaman.
12 Ganito ang sabi ng Panginoon: Kung paanong inaagaw ng pastor sa bibig ng leon ang dalawang hita, o ang isang putol ng tainga; gayon ililigtas ang mga anak ni Israel na nangauupo sa Samaria sa sulok ng hiligan, at sa mga sedang colchon ng higaang malaki.
13 Dinggin ninyo, at patotohanan ninyo laban sa sangbahayan ni Jacob, sabi ng Panginoong Dios, ng Dios ng mga hukbo.
14 Sapagka't sa araw na aking dadalawin ang mga pagsalangsang ng Israel sa kaniya, aking dadalawin din ang mga (J)dambana ng (K)Beth-el, at ang mga (L)sungay ng dambana ay mahihiwalay, at malalaglag sa lupa.
15 At aking sisirain (M)ang bahay na pangtagginaw na kasabay ng bahay na pangtaginit; at (N)ang mga bahay na garing ay mangawawala, at ang mga malaking bahay ay magkakawakas, sabi ng Panginoon.

Witnesses Summoned Against Israel
3 Hear this word, people of Israel, the word the Lord has spoken against you(A)—against the whole family I brought up out of Egypt:(B)
2 “You only have I chosen(C)
of all the families of the earth;
therefore I will punish(D) you
for all your sins.(E)”
3 Do two walk together
unless they have agreed to do so?
4 Does a lion roar(F) in the thicket
when it has no prey?(G)
Does it growl in its den
when it has caught nothing?
5 Does a bird swoop down to a trap on the ground
when no bait(H) is there?
Does a trap spring up from the ground
if it has not caught anything?
6 When a trumpet(I) sounds in a city,
do not the people tremble?
When disaster(J) comes to a city,
has not the Lord caused it?(K)
7 Surely the Sovereign Lord does nothing
without revealing his plan(L)
to his servants the prophets.(M)
8 The lion(N) has roared(O)—
who will not fear?
The Sovereign Lord has spoken—
who can but prophesy?(P)
9 Proclaim to the fortresses of Ashdod(Q)
and to the fortresses of Egypt:
“Assemble yourselves on the mountains of Samaria;(R)
see the great unrest within her
and the oppression among her people.”
10 “They do not know how to do right,(S)” declares the Lord,
“who store up in their fortresses(T)
what they have plundered(U) and looted.”
11 Therefore this is what the Sovereign Lord says:
“An enemy will overrun your land,
pull down your strongholds
and plunder your fortresses.(V)”
12 This is what the Lord says:
“As a shepherd rescues from the lion’s(W) mouth
only two leg bones or a piece of an ear,
so will the Israelites living in Samaria be rescued,
with only the head of a bed
and a piece of fabric[a] from a couch.[b](X)”
13 “Hear this and testify(Y) against the descendants of Jacob,” declares the Lord, the Lord God Almighty.
14 “On the day I punish(Z) Israel for her sins,
I will destroy the altars of Bethel;(AA)
the horns(AB) of the altar will be cut off
and fall to the ground.
15 I will tear down the winter house(AC)
along with the summer house;(AD)
the houses adorned with ivory(AE) will be destroyed
and the mansions(AF) will be demolished,(AG)”
declares the Lord.(AH)
