Amos 8

1 Fweny mane Jehova Nyasaye Manyalo Gik Moko Duto okelona ema: Ne aneno atonga mopongʼ gi olemo mochiek.

This is what the Lord Yahweh showed me. Look, 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.”

He said, “What do you see, Amos?” I said, “A basket of summer fruit.” Then Yahweh said to me, “The end has come for my people Israel; I will spare them no longer.

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!”

The songs of the temple will become wailings in that day —this is the declaration of the Lord Yahweh— many dead bodies, they are thrown everywhere! Silence!”

4 Winjuru un joma sando jochan, kendo mosiko mana kamayo joma odhier puothegi,

Listen to this, you who trample the needy and remove the poor 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!

They say, “When will the new moon be over, so we can sell grain again? When will the Sabbath day be over, so that we can sell wheat? We will make the measure small and increase the price, as we cheat with false scales.

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.”

This is so we can sell bad wheat, buy the poor with silver, and the needy for a pair of sandals.”

7 Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasach joka Jakobo osekwongʼore ni wiye ok nowil gi timbegi maricho.

Yahweh has sworn by the pride of Jacob, “Surely I will never forget any of their actions.”

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.”

Will not the land quake for this, and every one who lives in it mourn? All of it will rise up like the Nile River, and it will be tossed about and sink again, 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.

“It will come in that day —this is the declaration of the Lord Yahweh— that I will make the sun set at noon, and I will darken the earth at daylight.

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.”

I will turn your festivals into mourning and all your songs into lamentation. I will make all of you wear sackcloth and have baldness on every head. I will make it like mourning for an only son, and a bitter day to its end.

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.

Look, the days are coming —this is the declaration of the Lord Yahweh— when I will send a famine in the land, not a famine for bread, nor of 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.

They will stagger from sea to sea; they will run from the north to the east to seek the word of Yahweh, but they will not find it.

13 “Chiengʼno “nyiri mabeyo kod yawuowi maroteke nopodh piny ni kech riyo.

In that day the beautiful virgins and the young men will faint from 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.”

Those who swear by the sin of Samaria and say, 'As your god lives, Dan,' and, 'As the way to Beersheba exists'— they will fall and never rise again.”
