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.

Thus the Lord GOD showed me; and, behold, He formed locusts in the beginning of the shooting up of the latter growth; and, lo, it was the latter growth after the king's mowings.

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 if it had come to pass, that when they had made an end of eating the grass of the land — so I said: O Lord GOD, forgive, I beseech Thee; how shall Jacob stand? for he is small.

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

The LORD repented concerning this; 'It shall not be', saith 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.

Thus the Lord GOD showed me; and, behold, the Lord GOD called to contend by fire; and it devoured the great deep, and would have eaten up the land.

5 Eka ne aywak niya, “Yaye Jehova Nyasaye Manyalo Gik Moko Duto, ngʼuonne jogi ma joka Jakobo. Ere kaka ginyalo tony, to ginok kama?”

Then said I: O Lord GOD, cease, I beseech Thee; how shall Jacob stand? for he is small.

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

The LORD repented concerning this; 'This also shall not be', saith 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.

Thus He showed me; and, behold, the Lord stood beside a wall made by a plumbline, with a plumbline in His hand.

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 unto me: 'Amos, what seest thou?' And I said: 'A plumbline.' Then said the Lord: Behold, I will set a plumbline in the midst of My people Israel; I will not again pardon them any 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 Isaac shall be desolate, and the sanctuaries of Israel shall be laid waste; and I will rise 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.

Then Amaziah the priest of Beth-el sent to Jeroboam king of Israel, saying: 'Amos hath conspired 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 Amos saith: Jeroboam shall die by the sword, and Israel shall surely be led away captive out of his land.'

12 Eka Amazia nowachone Amos niya, “Dhi kucha, jakoroni! Dhiyo e piny jo-Juda mondo ikor weche kuno eka iyudgo kaka dichiem.

Also Amaziah said unto Amos: 'O thou seer, go, flee thee away into the land of Judah, and there eat bread, 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 at Beth-el, for it is the king's sanctuary, and it is a royal house.'

14 Eka Amos nodwoko Amazia niya, “An ok an janabi, to bende ok an kata nyathi janabi. Anto an mana jakwath kendo jarit ngʼowu.

Then answered Amos, and said to Amaziah: 'I was no prophet, neither was I a prophet's son; but I was a herdman, and a dresser of sycamore-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 from following the flock, and the LORD said unto me: Go, prophesy unto 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.’

Now therefore hear thou the word of the LORD: Thou sayest: Prophesy not against Israel, and preach not against the house of Isaac;

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 be a harlot in the city, and thy sons and thy daughters shall fall by the sword, and thy land shall be divided by line; and thou thyself shalt die in an unclean land, and Israel shall surely be led away captive out of his land.'
