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 shewed to me: and behold the locust was formed in the beginning of the shooting up of the latter rain, and lo, it was the latter rain after the king’s mowing.

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 came to pass, that when they had made an end of eating the grass of the land, I said: O Lord God, be merciful, I beseech thee: who shall raise up Jacob, for he is very little?

3 Omiyo chuny Jehova Nyasaye nolendo mowacho niya, “Gima kamano ok bi timore.”

The Lord had pity upon this: It shall 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 shewed to me: and behold the Lord called for judgment unto fire, and it devoured the great deep, and ate up a part at the same time.

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: O Lord God, cease, I beseech thee, who shall raise up Jacob, for he is a little one?

6 Omiyo chuny Jehova Nyasaye nolendo. Jehova Nyasaye Manyalo Gik Moko Duto nowacho niya, “Mae bende ok bi timore.”

The Lord had pity upon this. Yea this also shall 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 shewed to me: and behold the Lord was standing upon a plastered wall, and in his hand 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 seest thou, Amos? And I said: A mason’s trowel. And the Lord said: Behold, I will lay down the trowel in the midst of my people Israel. I will plaster them over no more.

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 high places of the idol shall be thrown down, and the sanctuaries of Israel shall be laid waste: 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 Amasias the priest of Bethel sent to Jeroboam king of Israel, saying: Amos hath rebelled against thee in the midst of the house of Israel: the land is not able to bear all his words.

11 Amos wacho niya, “‘Jeroboam ibiro nego gi ligangla kendo nyithind Israel ibiro dar e pinygi, mi tergi e twech e piny mabor.’”

For thus saith Amos: Jeroboam shall die by the sword, and Israel shall be carried away 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 Amasias said to Amos: Thou seer, go, flee away into the land of Juda: 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.”

But prophesy not again any more in Bethel: 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 answered and said to Amasias: I am not a prophet, nor am I the son of a prophet: but I am a herdsman plucking wild figs.

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 followed 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 thou the word of the Lord: Thou sayest, thou shalt not prophesy against Israel, and thou shalt not drop thy word 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!’”

Therefore thus saith the Lord: Thy wife shall play the harlot in the city, and thy sons and thy daughters shall fall by the sword, and thy land shall be measured by a line: and thou shalt die in a polluted land, and Israel shall go into captivity out of their land.
