Panawagan sa Pagsisisi
5 Pakinggan ninyo ang salitang ito na aking itinataghoy sa inyo, O sambahayan ni Israel:
2 “Siya'y bumagsak na,
hindi na siya babangon pa, ang birhen ng Israel;
siya'y itinakuwil sa kanyang lupain,
walang magbangon sa kanya.”
3 Sapagkat ganito ang sabi ng Panginoong Diyos:
“Ang lunsod na lumabas na isang libo ay magkakaroon ng isandaang maiiwan,
at ang lumabas na isandaan ay magkakaroon ng sampung maiiwan,
sa sambahayan ni Israel.”
4 Sapagkat ganito ang sabi ng Panginoon sa sambahayan ni Israel,
“Hanapin ninyo ako, at kayo'y mabubuhay;
5 ngunit huwag ninyong hanapin ang Bethel,
at huwag pumasok sa Gilgal,
ni dumaan sa Beer-seba;
sapagkat ang Gilgal ay tiyak na patungo sa pagkabihag,
at ang Bethel ay mauuwi sa wala.
6 Inyong hanapin ang Panginoon, at kayo'y mabubuhay;
baka siya'y magsiklab na parang apoy sa sambahayan ni Jose,
at lalamunin nito ang Bethel, at walang makakapatay niyon.
7 O kayo na ginagawa ninyong mapait na kahoy ang katarungan,
at inihahagis sa lupa ang katuwiran!
8 Siya(A) na lumikha ng Pleyades at Orion,
at ang gabing malalim ay ginagawang umaga,
at pinadidilim ang araw upang maging gabi,
na tinatawag ang mga tubig ng dagat,
at ibinubuhos ang mga iyon sa ibabaw ng lupa
ang Panginoon ang kanyang pangalan;
9 siya ang nagdadala ng biglang pagkawasak laban sa malakas,
anupa't ang pagkawasak ay dumarating sa tanggulan.
10 Kanilang kinapopootan ang nananaway sa pintuan,
at kanilang kinasusuklaman ang nagsasalita ng katotohanan.
11 Kaya't yamang inyong niyayapakan ang dukha,
at pinagbubuwis ninyo siya ng trigo,
kayo'y nagtayo ng mga bahay na batong tinabas,
ngunit hindi ninyo iyon tatahanan;
kayo'y nagtanim ng magagandang ubasan,
ngunit hindi ninyo iinumin ang alak niyon.
12 Sapagkat alam ko kung gaano karami ang inyong mga pagsuway,
at kung gaano kalaki ang inyong mga kasalanan—
kayong nagpapahirap sa matuwid, kayo na kumukuha ng suhol,
at itinutulak sa isang tabi ng pintuan ang nangangailangan.
13 Kaya't siya na mabait ay tatahimik sa panahong iyon;
sapagkat iyon ay masamang panahon.
14 Hanapin ninyo ang mabuti at hindi ang masama,
upang kayo'y mabuhay;
at sa gayo'y ang Panginoon, ang Diyos ng mga hukbo, ay magiging kasama ninyo,
gaya ng inyong sinasabi.
15 Inyong kapootan ang masama,
at ibigin ang mabuti, at kayo'y magpairal ng katarungan sa pintuang-bayan.
Marahil ang Panginoon, ang Diyos ng mga hukbo,
ay magiging mapagpala sa mga nalabi sa Jose.
16 Kaya't ganito ang sabi ng Panginoon, ng Diyos ng mga hukbo, ang Panginoon:
“Magkakaroon ng panaghoy sa lahat ng mga liwasan,
at sila'y magsasabi sa lahat ng lansangan, ‘Kahabag-habag! Kahabag-habag!’
Kanilang tatawagin ang magbubukid upang magdalamhati,
at sa pagtangis ang mga bihasa sa panaghoy.
17 At sa lahat ng ubasan ay magkakaroon ng panaghoy;
sapagkat ako'y daraan sa gitna mo,” sabi ng Panginoon.
18 Kahabag-habag kayong nagnanais ng araw ng Panginoon!
Sa anong layunin ang araw ng Panginoon sa inyo?
Iyon ay kadiliman at hindi kaliwanagan,
19 gaya ng isang tao na tumakas sa leon,
at sinalubong siya ng oso,
o pumasok sa bahay at ikinapit ang kanyang kamay sa dingding,
at isang ahas ang tumuka sa kanya.
20 Hindi ba kadiliman ang araw ng Panginoon, at hindi kaliwanagan,
at kadiliman na walang ningning doon?
21 “Aking(B) kinapopootan, aking hinahamak ang inyong mga kapistahan,
at hindi ako malulugod sa inyong mga takdang pagtitipon.
22 Bagaman inyong inihahandog sa akin ang inyong mga handog na sinusunog at mga handog na butil,
hindi ko iyon tatanggapin;
ni akin mang pagmamasdan
ang mga handog pangkapayapaan ng inyong mga pinatabang hayop.
23 Ilayo mo sa akin ang ingay ng iyong mga awit;
hindi ako makikinig sa himig ng iyong mga alpa.
24 Kundi paagusin ninyo ang katarungan na parang tubig,
at ang katuwiran na parang batis na patuloy na umaagos.
25 “Nagdala(C) ba kayo sa akin ng mga alay, at mga handog sa ilang sa loob ng apatnapung taon, O sambahayan ni Israel?
26 Inyong dinala si Sakkuth na inyong hari, at si Kaiwan na inyong mga larawan, ang bituin ng inyong diyos, na inyong ginawa para sa inyong sarili.
27 Kaya't kayo'y aking dadalhin sa pagkabihag sa kabila ng Damasco,” sabi ng Panginoon, na ang pangalan ay Diyos ng mga hukbo.

Seek the Lord and Live
5 Hear this word that I (A)take up over you in lamentation, O house of Israel:
2 “Fallen, no more to rise,
is (B)the virgin Israel;
forsaken on her land,
with none to raise her up.”
3 For thus says the Lord God:
“The city that went out a thousand
shall have a hundred left,
and that which went out a hundred
shall have ten left
to the house of Israel.”
4 For thus says the Lord to the house of Israel:
(C)“Seek me and live;
5 but do not seek (D)Bethel,
and do not enter into (E)Gilgal
or cross over to (F)Beersheba;
for (G)Gilgal shall surely go into exile,
and (H)Bethel shall come to nothing.”
6 (I)Seek the Lord and live,
(J)lest he break out like fire in the house of Joseph,
and it devour, with none to quench it for (K)Bethel,
7 O (L)you who turn justice to wormwood[a]
and cast down righteousness to the earth!
8 He who made the (M)Pleiades and Orion,
and turns deep darkness into the morning
and (N)darkens the day into night,
who (O)calls for the waters of the sea
(P)and pours them out on the surface of the earth,
(Q)the Lord is his name;
9 (R)who makes destruction flash forth against the strong,
so that destruction comes upon the fortress.
10 (S)They hate him who reproves (T)in the gate,
and they (U)abhor him who speaks the truth.
11 Therefore because you (V)trample on[b] the poor
and you exact taxes of grain from him,
(W)you have built houses of hewn stone,
but you shall not dwell in them;
(X)you have planted pleasant vineyards,
but you shall not drink their wine.
12 For I know how many are your transgressions
and how great are your sins—
you who afflict the righteous, who (Y)take a bribe,
and (Z)turn aside the needy (AA)in the gate.
13 Therefore he who is prudent will (AB)keep silent in such a time,
(AC)for it is an evil time.
14 (AD)Seek good, and not evil,
that you may live;
and so the Lord, (AE)the God of hosts, will be with you,
as you have said.
15 (AF)Hate evil, and love good,
and establish justice (AG)in the gate;
(AH)it may be that the Lord, the God of hosts,
will be gracious to the remnant of Joseph.
16 Therefore thus says the Lord, (AI)the God of hosts, the Lord:
“In all the squares (AJ)there shall be wailing,
and in all the streets they shall say, ‘Alas! Alas!’
They shall call the farmers to mourning
and (AK)to wailing those who are skilled in lamentation,
17 and in all vineyards there shall be wailing,
for (AL)I will pass through your midst,”
says the Lord.
Let Justice Roll Down
18 Woe to you who desire (AM)the day of the Lord!
Why would you have the day of the Lord?
(AN)It is darkness, and not light,
19 (AO)as if a man fled from a lion,
and a bear met him,
or went into the house and leaned his hand against the wall,
and a serpent bit him.
20 (AP)Is not the day of the Lord darkness, and not light,
and gloom with no brightness in it?
21 (AQ)“I hate, I despise your feasts,
and I take no delight in your solemn assemblies.
22 (AR)Even though you offer me your burnt offerings and grain offerings,
I will not accept them;
and the peace offerings of your fattened animals,
I will not look upon them.
23 Take away from me the noise of your songs;
to (AS)the melody of your harps I will not listen.
24 But let justice roll down like waters,
and righteousness like an ever-flowing stream.
25 (AT)“Did you bring to me sacrifices and offerings during the forty years in the wilderness, O house of Israel? 26 (AU)You (AV)shall take up Sikkuth your king, and Kiyyun your star-god—your images that you made for yourselves, 27 (AW)and I will send you into exile beyond Damascus,” says the Lord, whose name is (AX)the God of hosts.

A Lament for Israel
5 Hear this word which I (A)take up against you, a lamentation, O house of Israel:
2 The virgin of Israel has fallen;
She will rise no more.
She lies forsaken on her land;
There is no one to raise her up.
3 For thus says the Lord God:
“The city that goes out by a thousand
Shall have a hundred left,
And that which goes out by a hundred
Shall have ten left to the house of Israel.”
A Call to Repentance
4 For thus says the Lord to the house of Israel:
(B)“Seek Me (C)and live;
5 But do not seek (D)Bethel,
Nor enter Gilgal,
Nor pass over to (E)Beersheba;
For Gilgal shall surely go into captivity,
And (F)Bethel shall come to nothing.
6 (G)Seek the Lord and live,
Lest He break out like fire in the house of Joseph,
And devour it,
With no one to quench it in Bethel—
7 You who (H)turn justice to wormwood,
And lay righteousness to rest in the earth!”
8 He made the (I)Pleiades and Orion;
He turns the shadow of death into morning
(J)And makes the day dark as night;
He (K)calls for the waters of the sea
And pours them out on the face of the earth;
(L)The Lord is His name.
9 He [a]rains ruin upon the strong,
So that fury comes upon the fortress.
10 (M)They hate the one who rebukes in the gate,
And they (N)abhor the one who speaks uprightly.
11 (O)Therefore, because you [b]tread down the poor
And take grain [c]taxes from him,
Though (P)you have built houses of hewn stone,
Yet you shall not dwell in them;
You have planted [d]pleasant vineyards,
But you shall not drink wine from them.
12 For I (Q)know your manifold transgressions
And your mighty sins:
(R)Afflicting the just and taking bribes;
(S)Diverting the poor from justice at the gate.
13 Therefore (T)the prudent keep silent at that time,
For it is an evil time.
14 Seek good and not evil,
That you may live;
So the Lord God of hosts will be with you,
(U)As you have spoken.
15 (V)Hate evil, love good;
Establish justice in the gate.
(W)It may be that the Lord God of hosts
Will be gracious to the remnant of Joseph.
The Day of the Lord
16 Therefore the Lord God of hosts, the Lord, says this:
“There shall be wailing in all streets,
And they shall say in all the highways,
‘Alas! Alas!’
They shall call the farmer to mourning,
(X)And skillful lamenters to wailing.
17 In all vineyards there shall be wailing,
For (Y)I will pass through you,”
Says the Lord.
18 (Z)Woe to you who desire the day of the Lord!
For what good is (AA)the day of the Lord to you?
It will be darkness, and not light.
19 It will be (AB)as though a man fled from a lion,
And a bear met him!
Or as though he went into the house,
Leaned his hand on the wall,
And a serpent bit him!
20 Is not the day of the Lord darkness, and not light?
Is it not very dark, with no brightness in it?
21 “I(AC) hate, I despise your feast days,
And (AD)I do not savor your sacred assemblies.
22 (AE)Though you offer Me burnt offerings and your grain offerings,
I will not accept them,
Nor will I regard your fattened peace offerings.
23 Take away from Me the noise of your songs,
For I will not hear the melody of your stringed instruments.
24 (AF)But let justice run down like water,
And righteousness like a mighty stream.
25 “Did(AG) you offer Me sacrifices and offerings
In the wilderness forty years, O house of Israel?
26 You also carried [e]Sikkuth[f] (AH)your king
And Chiun, your idols,
The star of your gods,
Which you made for yourselves.
27 Therefore I will send you into captivity (AI)beyond Damascus,”
Says the Lord, (AJ)whose name is the God of hosts.

Exhortación al arrepentimiento
5 Oíd esta palabra que yo pronuncio[a] como lamentación(A) sobre vosotros, casa de Israel.
2 Ha caído, no volverá a levantarse(B)
la virgen de Israel(C);
abandonada yace en su tierra,
no hay quien la levante(D).
3 Porque así dice el Señor Dios[b]:
La ciudad que sale con mil,
se quedará con cien(E);
y la que sale con cien,
se quedará con diez(F), en la casa de Israel.
4 Porque así dice el Señor a la casa de Israel:
Buscadme(G), y viviréis(H).
5 Pero no busquéis a Betel(I),
ni vayáis a Gilgal(J),
ni paséis a Beerseba(K);
porque ciertamente Gilgal será llevada cautiva,
y Betel caerá en desgracia[c].
6 Buscad al Señor y viviréis(L),
no sea que Él prorrumpa como fuego(M), oh casa[d] de José,
y consuma a Betel sin que haya quien lo apague;
7 consuma a los que convierten el juicio en ajenjo
y echan[e] por tierra la justicia(N).
8 El que hizo las Pléyades y el Orión(O),
cambia las densas tinieblas en aurora(P),
y hace oscurecer[f] el día en noche(Q);
el que llama a las aguas del mar,
y las derrama sobre la faz de la tierra(R):
el Señor es su nombre(S).
9 Él es quien desencadena destrucción sobre el fuerte(T),
y hace que la ruina venga sobre la fortaleza(U).
10 Ellos odian en la puerta[g](V) al que reprende,
y aborrecen al que habla con integridad(W).
11 Por tanto, ya que imponéis fuertes impuestos sobre el[h] pobre
y exigís de él tributo de grano,
las casas de piedra labrada que habéis edificado,
no las habitaréis(X);
habéis plantado viñas escogidas, pero no beberéis su vino(Y).
12 Pues yo sé que muchas son vuestras transgresiones y graves vuestros pecados:
oprimís al justo, aceptáis[i] soborno
y rechazáis[j] a los pobres en la puerta(Z).
13 Por tanto, el prudente se calla en ese tiempo(AA), pues es tiempo malo.
14 Buscad lo bueno y no lo malo, para que viváis;
y así sea con vosotros el Señor, Dios de los ejércitos,
tal como habéis dicho(AB).
15 Aborreced el mal, amad el bien(AC),
y estableced la justicia[k] en la puerta.
Tal vez el Señor, Dios de los ejércitos,
sea misericordioso(AD) con el remanente(AE) de José.
16 Por tanto, así dice el Señor, el Señor Dios de los ejércitos:
En todas las plazas hay llanto,
y en todas las calles dicen: ¡Ay! ¡Ay!(AF)
Llaman a duelo al labrador(AG),
y a lamentación a los que saben plañir(AH).
17 En todas las viñas habrá llanto(AI),
porque pasaré por en medio de ti —dice el Señor.
18 ¡Ay de los que ansían el día del Señor!
¿De qué os servirá el día del Señor(AJ)?
Será tinieblas, y no luz(AK);
19 como cuando uno huye de un león,
y se encuentra con un oso,
o va a casa, apoya la mano en la pared,
y lo muerde una culebra(AL).
20 ¿No será tinieblas el día del Señor, y no luz,
oscuridad, y no resplandor(AM)?
21 Aborrezco, desprecio vuestras fiestas(AN),
tampoco me agradan[l] vuestras asambleas solemnes(AO).
22 Aunque me ofrezcáis holocaustos y vuestras ofrendas de grano,
no los aceptaré;
ni miraré a las ofrendas de paz de vuestros animales cebados(AP).
23 Aparta de mí el ruido de tus cánticos,
pues no escucharé siquiera la música de tus arpas.
24 Pero corra[m] el juicio como las aguas
y la justicia como corriente inagotable(AQ).
25 ¿Acaso me ofrecisteis sacrificios y ofrendas de cereal por cuarenta años en el desierto, oh casa de Israel[n](AR)? 26 Más bien, llevasteis a Sicut[o], vuestro rey, y a Quiyún[p], vuestros ídolos, la estrella de vuestros dioses que hicisteis para vosotros(AS). 27 Yo os haré, pues, deportar más allá de Damasco —dice el Señor, cuyo nombre es Dios de los ejércitos.

A Lament and Call to Repentance
5 Hear this word, Israel, this lament(A) I take up concerning you:
2 “Fallen is Virgin(B) Israel,
never to rise again,
deserted in her own land,
with no one to lift her up.(C)”
3 This is what the Sovereign Lord says to Israel:
“Your city that marches out a thousand strong
will have only a hundred left;
your town that marches out a hundred strong
will have only ten left.(D)”
4 This is what the Lord says to Israel:
“Seek(E) me and live;(F)
5 do not seek Bethel,
do not go to Gilgal,(G)
do not journey to Beersheba.(H)
For Gilgal will surely go into exile,
and Bethel will be reduced to nothing.[a](I)”
6 Seek(J) the Lord and live,(K)
or he will sweep through the tribes of Joseph like a fire;(L)
it will devour them,
and Bethel(M) will have no one to quench it.(N)
8 He who made the Pleiades and Orion,(R)
who turns midnight into dawn(S)
and darkens day into night,(T)
who calls for the waters of the sea
and pours them out over the face of the land—
the Lord is his name.(U)
9 With a blinding flash he destroys the stronghold
and brings the fortified city to ruin.(V)
10 There are those who hate the one who upholds justice in court(W)
and detest the one who tells the truth.(X)
11 You levy a straw tax on the poor(Y)
and impose a tax on their grain.
Therefore, though you have built stone mansions,(Z)
you will not live in them;(AA)
though you have planted lush vineyards,
you will not drink their wine.(AB)
12 For I know how many are your offenses
and how great your sins.(AC)
There are those who oppress the innocent and take bribes(AD)
and deprive the poor(AE) of justice in the courts.(AF)
13 Therefore the prudent keep quiet(AG) in such times,
for the times are evil.(AH)
14 Seek good, not evil,
that you may live.(AI)
Then the Lord God Almighty will be with you,
just as you say he is.
15 Hate evil,(AJ) love good;(AK)
maintain justice in the courts.(AL)
Perhaps(AM) the Lord God Almighty will have mercy(AN)
on the remnant(AO) of Joseph.
16 Therefore this is what the Lord, the Lord God Almighty, says:
“There will be wailing(AP) in all the streets(AQ)
and cries of anguish in every public square.
The farmers(AR) will be summoned to weep
and the mourners to wail.
17 There will be wailing(AS) in all the vineyards,
for I will pass through(AT) your midst,”
says the Lord.(AU)
The Day of the Lord
18 Woe to you who long
for the day of the Lord!(AV)
Why do you long for the day of the Lord?(AW)
That day will be darkness,(AX) not light.(AY)
19 It will be as though a man fled from a lion
only to meet a bear,(AZ)
as though he entered his house
and rested his hand on the wall
only to have a snake bite him.(BA)
20 Will not the day of the Lord be darkness,(BB) not light—
pitch-dark, without a ray of brightness?(BC)
21 “I hate,(BD) I despise your religious festivals;(BE)
your assemblies(BF) are a stench to me.
22 Even though you bring me burnt offerings(BG) and grain offerings,
I will not accept them.(BH)
Though you bring choice fellowship offerings,
I will have no regard for them.(BI)
23 Away with the noise of your songs!
I will not listen to the music of your harps.(BJ)
24 But let justice(BK) roll on like a river,
righteousness(BL) like a never-failing stream!(BM)
25 “Did you bring me sacrifices(BN) and offerings
forty years(BO) in the wilderness, people of Israel?
26 You have lifted up the shrine of your king,
the pedestal of your idols,(BP)
the star of your god[b]—
which you made for yourselves.
27 Therefore I will send you into exile(BQ) beyond Damascus,”
says the Lord, whose name is God Almighty.(BR)
