A:imose 8
1 Ouligisudafa Hina Gode da nama eno esala ba: su olelei. Amo ganodini na da daba amo ifa fage amoga nabai dialebe ba: i.
Thus did the Lord Eternal show unto me: and, behold, there was a basket of summer fruit.
2 Hina Gode da nama amane adole ba: i, “A: imose! Di da adi ba: sala: ?” Na da bu adole i, “Na da ifa fage daba ganodini sali ba: sa.” Hina Gode da nama amane sia: i, “Na fi Isala: ili dunu da logo dibiga doaga: i dagoi. Na asigi dawa: su amo Na da ilima se dabe imunu amo Na da bu hame afadenemu.
And he said, What dost thou see, 'Amos? And I said, A basket of summer fruit. Then said the Lord unto me, The end is come for my people Israel: I will not farther indulge them any more.
3 Amo se dabe imunu esoga, hina bagade ea diasuga gesami hea: su da afadenene bu didigia: su bagade agoane nabimu. Bogoi da: i hodo da soge huluane ganodini bagohame dialebe ba: mu. Sia: huluane da hame nabimu. Ilia da ha: digi dagoi ba: mu.”
And the songs of the temple shall become a wailing on that day, saith the Lord Eternal: many shall be the dead bodies; in every place shall men throw them down, [saying, ] Be silent.
4 Dilia bagade gagui dunu amo da hame gagui amola fonobahadi dunu ilima hasalasisa! Na sia: nabima!
Hear this, O ye that are greedy to swallow the needy, and to ruin the poor of the land,
5 Dilia da dilia asigi dawa: su ganodini amane sia: sa, “Ninia ha: i manu ganodini amane sia: sa, ‘Ninia ha: i manu bidi lamusa: , Godema nodone sia: ne gadosu hadigi eso da hedolo dagomu da defea. Sa: bade eso da hedolowane dagomu da defea. Amasea, ninia da ha: i manu bidi lasea, muni bagade baligili lamu. Ninia da dioi defei ilegesu liligi amo ninia fi dunuma ogogoma: ne, ninisu da wadela: mu.
Saying, When will the new moon be gone, that we may sell provision? and the sabbath, that we may open the corn-warehouses, making the ephah small, and increasing the shekel, and cheating with deceitful balances?
6 Ninia da wadela: i widi amo muni bagadega bidi lamu dawa: Ninia da hame gagui dunu ba: sea, e da ea muni imunu muni hamedeiba: le hame iaha. E da emo salasu bidi lamu hame dawa: Amo dunu udigili hawa: hamomusa: gini, ninia da bidi lamu.
That we may buy the poor for silver, and the needy for a pair of shoes; and even sell the refuse of the corn?
7 Isala: ili Hina Gode da dafawane ilegele sia: i dagoi amane, “Na da ilia wadela: i hou hamedafa gogolemu.
Sworn hath the Lord by the excellency of Jacob, Surely I will not forget to eternity all their works.
8 Amaiba: le, osobo bagade da yagugumu. Dunu huluane da se nabimu. Na da soge huluane igugumu. Soge da Naile Hano defele, gado heda: le gudu sa: ili agoane hamomu.
Shall because of this the land not tremble, and mourn every one that dwelleth therein? and shall it not rise up like a stream wholly, and roll onward and sink again like the stream of Egypt?
9 Eso da misunu amoga, Na da esomogoa eso banenesimu amola esoga gasi agoane ba: mu. Na, Ouligisudafa Hina Gode, Na da sia: i dagoi.
And it shall come to pass on that day, saith the Lord Eternal, that I will cause the sun to set at noon, and I will bring darkness over the earth on a bright day;
10 Na da dilia hahawane lolo nabe amo sinidigili, bogoi ili dogosu eso defele hamomu. Dilia hahawane gesami hea: su Na da afadenene, bu se nabasu didigia: su hamomu. Dilia da dilia dialuma waga: mu amola wadela: i eboboi abula salimu. Dilia ada amola ame ilia mano afae fawane bogoiba: le didigia: sa, amo defele dilia da didigia: mu. Se nabasu da mae fisili, asili, dagosu eso da doaga: mu.
And I will change your feasts into mourning, and all your songs into lamentations; and I will bring upon all loins sackcloth, and upon every head baldness; and I will cause [the land] to mourn as one doth for an only son, and its end to be as a day of bitter [complaint].
11 Eso da doaga: mu amoga Na da ha: bagade dilia sogega iasimu. Dunu ilia da hanai ba: mu be agi moma: ne hame hanai. Dunu da hano hanai agoane ba: mu be hano moma: ne hame hanai agoane. Ilia da Gode Ea sia: nabima: ne hanaiwane ba: mu. Na, Ouligisudafa Hina Gode da sia: i dagoi.
Behold, days are coming, saith the Lord Eternal, when I will send a famine in the land, not a famine for bread, nor a thirst for water, but to hear the words of the Lord:
12 Dunu ilia da udigili lalumu. Ilia da Bogoi Hano Wayabo amo fisili, Medidela: inia Hano Wayabo amoga asili ilia da ga (north) asili gusudili amoga bu masunu. Ilia da soge huluane ganodini Gode Ea sia: hogoi helele, hame ba: mu.
And they will wander about from sea to sea, and from the north even to the east, they will roam about to seek the word of the Lord; but they shall not find it.
13 Amo esoga, hame oloi ayeligi amola a: fini da hano hame maiba: le, sidimu.
On that day shall the fair virgins and the young men faint for thirst;
14 Nowa da loboga hamoi ogogosu Samelia ‘gode’ liligi ilima nodone sia: ne gadosa, ilia da “Da: ne ‘gode’ ea dioba: le o Biasiba ‘gode’ ea dioba: le” amo dioba: le ilegele sia: sea, amo dunu ilia da dafane, bu eno hame wa: lesimu.”
Those that swear by the guilt of Samaria, and say, As thy god liveth, O Dan; and, As liveth the worshipped idol of Beer-sheba', —yea, they shall fall, and never rise up again.
