Amos 8
1 Fweny mane Jehova Nyasaye Manyalo Gik Moko Duto okelona ema: Ne aneno atonga mopongʼ gi olemo mochiek.
Here, My Lord, Yahweh, gave me to see, —and lo! there was a basket of summer fruit.
2 Eka Jehova Nyasaye nopenja niya, “Amos, ineno angʼo?” Ne adwoke niya, “Aneno atonga mopongʼ gi olemo mochiek.” Eka Jehova Nyasaye nowachona niya, “Mano e kaka joga Israel oseikore ni kum kendo ok anawegi ma ok akumogi.”
So then he said, What canst thou see, Amos? And I said, A basket of summer fruit. Then said Yahweh unto me, The end hath come unto my people Israel, I will not again any more forgive them;
3 Jehova Nyasaye Manyalo Gik Moko Duto wacho niya, “Chiengʼno wende ma iwero e hekalu nolokre mag ywak, ka ringre joma otho opie kuonde duto, kendo piny to olingʼ thi!”
but palace-songs, shall become howlings, in that day, Declareth My Lord, Yahweh, —Many shall be the dead bodies in every place—cast forth—[with a] hush!
4 Winjuru un joma sando jochan, kendo mosiko mana kamayo joma odhier puothegi,
Hear this, ye who pant after the needy, and to make an end of the oppressed of the land:
5 kuwacho niya, “Mad ndalo mag lemo mar dwe manyien rum piyo, mondo wayud thuolo mar uso cham.” Bende upenjoru niya, “Ndalo mag Sabato to biro rumo karangʼo mondo wagol chambwa warundi, eka wanyalo choro nengo malo, kendo tiyo gi rapim ma ok nikare, ma wawuondogo jongʼiewo!
Who say, When will the new moon, pass away, that we may sell corn? and the sabbath that we may open grain? who diminish the ephah, and increase the shekel, and who falsify by deceitful weights:
6 E kindeno wabiro uso cham maricho e nengo maber, bangʼe wabiro ngʼiewo joma odhier e nengo marom, gi nengo mingʼiewogo pat pat mondo gibed wasumbini magwa.”
Who buy—for silver—the poor, and the needy for a pair of shoes, —and that the refuse of the grain we may sell.
7 Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasach joka Jakobo osekwongʼore ni wiye ok nowil gi timbegi maricho.
Sworn hath Yahweh, by the Excellency of Jacob, —Surely I will never forget any of their doings!
8 “Donge gima kamano biro miyo piny yiengni mi ji duto modak e iye ywagi? Piny duto biro pongʼ ma oo oko mana ka aora Nael manie piny Misri.”
Is it not, for this, that the land, shall tremble? and shall mourn every inhabitant therein? Shall it not come up—like the Nile, all of it, and be tossed and subside like the river of Egypt?
9 Jehova Nyasaye Manyalo Gik Moko Duto wacho niya, “Chiengʼno anami chiengʼ podhi e chuny odiechiengʼ tir, kendo anami piny lokre mudho godiechiengʼ.
Yea it shall come to pass, in that day, Declareth My Lord, Yahweh, that I will cause the sun to go in at high noon, —and will darken the earth on a day of brightness!
10 Sewni mau mag lemo nolokre ywak mar tho, wendeu mag mor, to nolokre dengo. Uduto anami urwakru gi pien gugru ka ulielo wiyeu mapoth. Unuchal kod joma ywago wuodgi ma miderma, kendo odiechiengʼno nobed malit mapok ne kone e piny.”
So will I turn your festivals into mourning, and all your songs into a dirge, and I will bring up—on all loins—sackcloth, and upon every head—baldness, —and I will make it like the mourning for an only one, even the afterpart thereof, as a day of bitterness.
11 Jehova Nyasaye Manyalo Gik Moko Duto wacho niya, “Ndalo biro ma abiro kelo kech e piny, to ok nobed kech mar chiemo, kata riyo mar pi, to nobed riyo mar winjo wach Jehova Nyasaye.
Lo! days are coming, Declareth My Lord, Yahweh, that I will send a hunger throughout the land, —not a hunger for food, nor a thirst for water, but for hearing the words of Yahweh;
12 Ji nowuoth kadawo kochakore nyandwat e dho nam achiel nyaka dho nam machielo kendo ginidigni chakre yo nyandwat nyaka yo wuok chiengʼ, ka gimanyo kama digiyudie wach Jehova Nyasaye, to ok giniyudi kata matin.
Therefore shall men rove about—from sea to sea, and from the north even unto sunrise, —they shall run to and fro—seeking the word of Yahweh, but shall not find [it].
13 “Chiengʼno “nyiri mabeyo kod yawuowi maroteke nopodh piny ni kech riyo.
In that day, shall the fair virgins and the choice young men faint for thirst.
14 Ji duto makwongʼore gi nying Ashima, ma nyasaye madhako mar Samaria, kata makwongʼore gi nyasach Dan, kendo gi nyasach Bersheba, nopodh chuth, ma ok ginichak gia malo.”
They who swear by the Guilt of Samaria, and say, As thy God, liveth, O Dan! and, As the Way of Beer-sheba, liveth, shall fall, and shall not rise any more.
