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 hath the Lord Jehovah shewed me, and, lo, 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 saith, 'What art thou seeing, Amos?' and I say, 'A basket of summer-fruit.' And Jehovah saith unto me: 'The end hath come unto My people Israel, I do not add any more to pass over to it.

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 howled have songstresses of a palace in that day, An affirmation of the Lord Jehovah, Many [are] the carcases, into any place throw — hush!

4 Dilia bagade gagui dunu amo da hame gagui amola fonobahadi dunu ilima hasalasisa! Na sia: nabima!

Hear this, ye who are swallowing up the needy, To cause to cease 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 doth the new moon pass, And we sell ground corn? And the sabbath, and we open out pure corn? To make little the ephah, And to make great the shekel, And to use perversely balances of deceit.

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.

To purchase with money the poor, And the needy for a pair of sandals, Yea, the refuse of the pure corn we sell.

7 Isala: ili Hina Gode da dafawane ilegele sia: i dagoi amane, “Na da ilia wadela: i hou hamedafa gogolemu.

Sworn hath Jehovah by the excellency of Jacob: 'I forget not for ever any of 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.

For this doth not the land tremble, And mourned hath every dweller in it? And come up as a flood hath all of it. And it hath been cast out, and hath sunk, Like the flood 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 hath come to pass in that day, An affirmation of the Lord Jehovah, I have caused the sun to go in at noon, And caused darkness on the land in a day of light,

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 have turned your festivals to mourning, And all your songs to lamentation, And caused sackcloth to come up on all loins, And on every head — baldness, And made it as a mourning [of] an only one, And its latter end as a day of bitterness.

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.

Lo, days are coming, An affirmation of the Lord Jehovah, And I have sent a famine into the land, Not a famine of bread, nor a thirst of water But of hearing the words of Jehovah.

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 have wandered from sea unto sea, And from north even unto east, They go to and fro to seek the word of Jehovah, And they do not find.

13 Amo esoga, hame oloi ayeligi amola a: fini da hano hame maiba: le, sidimu.

In that day faint do the fair virgins, And the young men, with 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 swearing by the guilt of Samaria, And have said, Live doth thy god, O Dan, And, Live doth the way of Beer-Sheba, And they have fallen — and rise not again!'
