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 the Lord GOD showed me: behold, he formed locusts in the beginning of the shooting up of the latter growth; and behold, it was the latter growth after the king’s harvest.

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!”

When they finished eating the grass of the land, then I said, “Lord GOD, forgive, I beg you! How could Jacob stand? 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 relented concerning this. “It shall not be,” says 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 the Lord GOD showed me: behold, the Lord GOD called for judgement by fire; and it dried up the great deep, and would have devoured the land.

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 I said, “Lord GOD, stop, I beg you! How could Jacob stand? 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 relented concerning this. “This also shall not be,” says 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 showed me: behold, the Lord stood beside a wall made by a plumb line, with a plumb line 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.

The LORD said to me, “Amos, what do you see?” I said, “A plumb line.” Then the Lord said, “Behold, I will set a plumb line in the middle 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.”

The high places of Isaac will be desolate, the sanctuaries of Israel will 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 Bethel sent to Jeroboam king of Israel, saying, “Amos has conspired against you in the middle 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 Amos says, ‘Jeroboam will die by the sword, and Israel shall surely be led away captive out of his 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.

Amaziah also said to Amos, “You seer, go, flee 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 don’t prophesy again any more at Bethel; for it is the king’s sanctuary, and it is a royal house!”

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 Amos answered Amaziah, “I was no prophet, neither was I a prophet’s son, but I was a herdsman, and a farmer of sycamore figs;

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 from following the flock, and the LORD said to me, ‘Go, prophesy to 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 listen to the LORD’s word: ‘You say, Don’t prophesy against Israel, and don’t preach 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 the LORD says: ‘Your wife shall be a prostitute in the city, and your sons and your daughters shall fall by the sword, and your land shall be divided by line; and you yourself shall die in a land that is unclean, and Israel shall surely be led away captive out of his land.’”
