A:imose 7

1 Na da esala ba: i amo ganodini Ouligisudafa Hina Gode ba: i. Isala: ili hina bagade ea gisi da noi dagoi amola gisi da bu heda: lebe amo esoga Hina Gode da danuba: wa: i bagadedafa hamonanebe ba: i.

Thus hath the Lord GOD shewed unto me; and, behold, he formed grasshoppers in the beginning of the shooting up of the latter growth; and, lo, [it was] the latter growth after the king’s mowings.

2 Na esala ba: i amo ganodini, na da danuba: mola: ya: i liligi huluane soge ganodini amo na dagoi ba: i. Amalalu, na da amane sia: i, “Ouligisudafa Hina Gode! Dia fi ilia hou gogolema: ne olofoma! Ilia da habodane esaloma: bela: ! Ilia da fonobahadi amola gasa hame!”

And it came to pass, [that] when they had made an end of eating the grass of the land, then I said, O Lord GOD, forgive, I beseech thee: by whom shall Jacob arise? for he [is] small.

3 Hina Gode da Ea asigi dawa: su afadenene, amane sia: i, “Dia esala ba: i amo da dafawane hame ba: mu.”

The LORD repented for this: It shall not be, saith the LORD.

4 Ouligisudafa Hina Gode da nama esala ba: su eno olelei. E da Ea fi dunu se dabe iasu ima: ne, lalu didilalu. Lalu da hano wayabo bagade osobo hagudu diala amo nei dagoi. Amalalu, lalu da osobo bagade amola amo nemusa: muni nenanu.

Thus hath the Lord GOD shewed unto me: and, behold, the Lord GOD called to contend by fire, and it devoured the great deep, and did eat up a part.

5 Amalalu, na amane sia: i, “Hame mabu! Ouligisudafa Hina Gode mae! Dia fi da habodane esaloma: bela: ? Ilia da fonobahadi amola gasa hame!”

Then said I, O Lord GOD, cease, I beseech thee: by whom shall Jacob arise? for he [is] small.

6 Hina Gode da bu Ea asigi dawa: su afadenene, amane sia: i, “Amo amola da hame ba: mu.”

The LORD repented for this: This also shall not be, saith the Lord GOD.

7 Ouligisudafa Hina Gode da nama esala ba: su eno olelei. Amo ganodini na da Hina Gode dobea gagui (amo da ogoma efe ilegesu amoga defei) amo dafulili lelebe ba: i. Ea lobo ganodini, ogoma efe ilegesu dialebe ba: i.

Thus he shewed me: and, behold, the Lord stood upon a wall [made] by a plumbline, with a plumbline in his hand.

8 E da nama amane adole ba: i, “A: imose! Di da adi ba: sala: ?” Na da bu adole i, “Na da ogoma efe ilegesu ba: sa!” Amalalu, E da nama amane sia: i, “Amoga Na da dima olelesa. Na fi dunu da dobea noga: le hame ilegele gagui defele esala. Na da ilima se dabe iasu ima: ne Na asigi dawa: su bu hame afadenemu.

And the LORD said unto me, Amos, what seest thou? And I said, A plumbline. Then said the Lord, Behold, I will set a plumbline in the midst of my people Israel: I will not again pass by them any more:

9 Aisage egaga fi ilia nodone sia: ne gadosu sogebi huluane da wadela: lesi dagoi ba: mu. Isala: ili soge hadigi sogebi huluane da wadela: lesi dagoi ba: mu. Na da hina bagade Yelouboua: me ea fi hina bagade hou huluane wadela: lesi dagomu.”

And the high places of Isaac shall be desolate, and the sanctuaries of Israel shall be laid waste; and I will rise against the house of Jeroboam with the sword.

10 A: masaia, Bedele gobele salasu dunu, da Yelouboua: me (Isala: ili hina bagade) ema sia: ne iasi amane, “A: imose da di wadela: ma: ne dunu huluane ilima hohonone sia: daha. Ea sia: da ninia soge fi huluane wadela: lesimu.

Then Amaziah the priest of Beth-el sent to Jeroboam king of Israel, saying, Amos hath conspired against thee in the midst of the house of Israel: the land is not able to bear all his words.

11 E da amane sia: daha, ‘Yelouboua: me da gegesu ganodini bogomu. Isala: ili fi dunu huluane da ilia sogega fadegale, ga soge amo ganodini mugululi asi dagoi ba: mu.’”

For thus Amos saith, Jeroboam shall die by the sword, and Israel shall surely be led away captive out of their own land.

12 Amalalu, A:masaia da A: imosema amane sia: i, “Balofede dunu! Ouiya: ma! Eno hame! Di Yuda sogega buhagili, amogai dia sia: olelema. Ilia fawane da dia sia: beba: le, bidi imunu da defea.

Also Amaziah said unto Amos, O thou seer, go, flee thee away into the land of Judah, and there eat bread, and prophesy there:

13 Be Bedele moilai guiguda: ba: la: lusu sia: bu mae sia: ma. Bai amo sogebi da Isala: ili hina bagade ea nodone sia: ne gadosu sogebi amola Isala: ili fi ilia Debolo sogebi.”

But prophesy not again any more at Beth-el: for it [is] the king’s chapel, and it [is] the king’s court.

14 A: imose da bu adole i, “Na da bidi lama: ne ba: la: lusu hou hame hamosa. Na da sibi ouligisu dunu amola figi ifa ouligisu dunu.

Then answered Amos, and said to Amaziah, I [was] no prophet, neither [was] I a prophet’s son; but I [was] an herdman, and a gatherer of sycomore fruit:

15 Be Hina Gode da na sibi ouligisu hawa: hamosu fisili, ea fi Isala: ili dunuma fa: no misunu hou olelema: ne sia: i.

And the LORD took me as I followed the flock, and the LORD said unto me, Go, prophesy unto my people Israel.

16 Amaiba: le, wali Hina Gode Ea sia: nabima! Di da nama na da ba: la: lusu fisili, Isala: ili dunuma dadousa gagabosu sia: bu mae hamoma: ne sia: sa.

Now therefore hear thou the word of the LORD: Thou sayest, Prophesy not against Israel, and drop not [thy word] against the house of Isaac.

17 Amaiba: le, A:masaia, Hina Gode da dima amane sia: sa, ‘Dia uda da di fisili, udigili moilai bai bagade ganodini ea da: i dunuma udigili bidi lamu. Amola dia mano huluane gegesu ganodini medole legei dagoi ba: mu. Dia soge da fifili, eno dunuma i dagoi ba: mu. Amola disu da Gode Ea hou hame lalegagui ga soge amo ganodini bogomu. Amola Isala: ili dunu da dafawane ilia sogega fadegale, eno sogega mugululi asi dagoi ba: mu.”

Therefore thus saith the LORD; Thy wife shall be an harlot in the city, and thy sons and thy daughters shall fall by the sword, and thy land shall be divided by line; and thou shalt die in a polluted land: and Israel shall surely go into captivity forth of his land.
