< Amos 7 >
1 Fweny mane Jehova Nyasaye Manyalo Gik Moko Duto okelona ema: Ne aneno rumbi mar det bonyo monywol e chakruok mar opon ka cham mar ruoth osekaa.
These things the Lord God has revealed to me. And behold, the locust was formed at the beginning of the germination during the latter rains, and behold, the latter rains came after the thundering of the king.
2 Kane bonyogo osechamo gimoro amora mangʼich e piny, ne aywak kawacho niya, “Yaye Jehova Nyasaye Manyalo Gik Moko Duto, ngʼwon-ne jogi ma joka Jakobo. Ere kaka ginyalo tony, to ginok kama?”
And it happened, when they had finally eaten all the grass in the land, that I said, “Lord God, be gracious, I beg you. Who will raise up Jacob, for he is little?”
3 Omiyo chuny Jehova Nyasaye nolendo mowacho niya, “Gima kamano ok bi timore.”
The Lord has been merciful about this. “It will not be,” said the Lord.
4 Fweny machielo mane Jehova Nyasaye Manyalo Gik Moko Duto okelona ema: Ne aneno kooro mach maduongʼ mondo owangʼ nam manie bwo piny, kendo otiek gik moko duto manie piny.
These things the Lord God has revealed to me. And behold, the Lord God called for judgment unto fire, and it devoured the manifold abyss, and it consumed simultaneously in every direction.
5 Eka ne aywak niya, “Yaye Jehova Nyasaye Manyalo Gik Moko Duto, ngʼuonne jogi ma joka Jakobo. Ere kaka ginyalo tony, to ginok kama?”
And I said, “Lord God, cease, I beg you. Who will raise up Jacob, for he is little?”
6 Omiyo chuny Jehova Nyasaye nolendo. Jehova Nyasaye Manyalo Gik Moko Duto nowacho niya, “Mae bende ok bi timore.”
The Lord has been merciful about this. “And even this will not be,” said the Lord God.
7 Fweny moro machielo mane okelona ema: Ne aneno Ruoth Nyasaye kochungʼ e kor ot kotingʼo tol mar rapim mipimogo kor ot e lwete mondo one ane ka kor ot oriere tir.
These things the Lord revealed to me. And behold, the Lord was standing near a plastered wall, and in his hand was a mason’s trowel.
8 Kendo Jehova Nyasaye nopenja niya, “Amos, en angʼo mineno?” Ne adwoke niya, “Aneno tol mar rapim mipimogo kor ot.” Eka Ruoth Nyasaye nowachona niya, “Apimo chuny joga Israel gi rapim kendo ok anachak awenegi.
And the Lord said to me, “What do you see, Amos?” And I said, “A mason’s trowel.” And the Lord said, “Behold, I will place the trowel in the midst of my people Israel. I will no longer plaster over them.
9 “Kuonde lemo duto mag joka Isaka ibiro kethi kendo kuonde maler duto mag Israel ibiro kethi; kendo anabi gi ligangla mondo aked gi dhood Jeroboam.”
And the heights of the idol will be demolished, and the sanctuaries of Israel will be desolate. And I will rise up against the house of Jeroboam with the sword.”
10 Eka Amazia jadolo mar Bethel nooro wach ne Jeroboam ma ruodh Israel niya, “Amos, koro piem kodi ei Israel, kendo wechene biro ketho piny.
And Amaziah, the priest of Bethel, sent to Jeroboam king of Israel, saying: “Amos has rebelled against you in the midst of the house of Israel. The land is not able to withstand all his sermons.
11 Amos wacho niya, “‘Jeroboam ibiro nego gi ligangla kendo nyithind Israel ibiro dar e pinygi, mi tergi e twech e piny mabor.’”
For Amos says this: ‘Jeroboam will die by the sword, and Israel will be taken captive out of their own land.’”
12 Eka Amazia nowachone Amos niya, “Dhi kucha, jakoroni! Dhiyo e piny jo-Juda mondo ikor weche kuno eka iyudgo kaka dichiem.
And Amaziah said to Amos, “You, seer, go out and flee into the land of Judah, and eat bread there, and prophesy there.
13 Kik ichak ikor wach moro amora e Bethel-ka nikech ma en kama ler mar lemo mar ruoth kod hekalu mar pinyruoth.”
And in Bethel, do not prophesy any longer, because it is the king’s sanctuary, and it is the house of the kingdom.”
14 Eka Amos nodwoko Amazia niya, “An ok an janabi, to bende ok an kata nyathi janabi. Anto an mana jakwath kendo jarit ngʼowu.
And Amos responded, and he said to Amasias, “I am not a prophet, and I am not the son of a prophet, but I am a herdsman plucking from wild fig trees.
15 To Jehova Nyasaye ema noluonga ka akwayo rombe, mine owachona ni, ‘Dhiyo mondo ikor wach ne joga Israel.’
And the Lord took me, when I was following the flock, and the Lord said to me, ‘Go, prophesy to my people Israel.’”
16 Kuom mano, koro winj wach Jehova Nyasaye. Iwacho niya, “‘Kik ikor wach kuom jo-Israel, kendo ni kik iwach weche manono kuom joka Isaka.’
And now, hear the word of the Lord: You say, “You will not prophesy about Israel, and you will not rain your words upon the house of the idol.”
17 “‘Kuom mano, koro winji gima Jehova Nyasaye wacho: “‘Kochakore sani to chiegi biro bedo jachode e dala mar Samaria, kendo yawuoti kod nyigi, to koro ibiro negi gi ligangla. Lopi ibiro kawo kendo pogi, in iwuon, to initho e piny moro nono mabor gi ka, kendo jo-Israel nodar, mi tergi e twech!’”
Because of that, the Lord says this: “Your wife will fornicate in the city, and your sons and your daughters will fall by the sword, and your soil will be measured with a string. And you will die on polluted land, and Israel will be taken into captivity out of their land.”
