< Amos 7 >

1 Thus the lord Jehovah 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.
Kastoy ti impakita ni Yahweh kaniak. Pagammoan, nangpataud isuna iti pinangen a dudon idi mangrugi nga agrusing dagiti mula, ket pagammoan, daytoy ti nabatbati a mula kalpasan a naapiten ti bingay ti ari.
2 And it came to pass that, when they made an end of eating the grass of the land, then I said, O lord Jehovah, forgive, I beseech thee. How shall Jacob stand, for he is small?
Kalpasan nga inibus dagiti dudon dagiti mula iti daga, kinunak, “Apo a Yahweh, pangaasim ta mamakawanka; kasano a makalasat ni Jacob? Ket nagbassit unay isuna.”
3 Jehovah relented concerning this. It shall not be, says Jehovah.
Imbabawi ni Yahweh ti maipapan iti daytoy. “Saanto a mapasamak daytoy,” kinunana.
4 Thus the lord Jehovah showed me: And, behold, the lord Jehovah called to contend by fire, and it devoured the great deep, and would have eaten up the land.
Kastoy ti impakita ni Yahweh nga Apo kaniak: Pagammoan, nangayab ti Apo a ni Yahweh iti apuy tapno mangukom. Minagaan daytoy ti nalawa ken nauneg a danum nga adda iti uneg ti daga ken manguram pay koma iti daga.
5 Then I said, O lord Jehovah, cease, I beseech thee. How shall Jacob stand, for he is small?
Ngem kinunak, “Apo a Yahweh, pangaasim ta saanmo nga aramiden dayta; kasano a makalasat ni Jacob? Ket nagbassit unay isuna.”
6 Jehovah relented concerning this. This also shall not be, says the lord Jehovah.
Imbabawi ni Yahweh ti maipanggep iti daytoy, “Uray daytoy ket saanto a mapasamak,” kinuna ni Yahweh nga Apo.
7 Thus he showed me: And, behold, the Lord stood beside a wall made by a plumb-line, with a plumb-line in his hand.
Kastoy ti impakitana kaniak: Pagammoan, nagtakder ti Apo iti abay ti pader, nga adda iggemna a tinnag.
8 And Jehovah said to me, Amos, what do thou see? And I said, A plumb-line. Then the Lord said, Behold, I will set a plumb-line in the midst of my people Israel. I will not again pass by them any more.
Kinuna ni Yahweh kaniak, “Amos, ania ti makitkitam?” Kinunak, “Maysa a tinnag.” Ket kinuna ti Apo, “Agikabillakto iti tinnag kadagiti tattaok nga Israel. Saankonto ida nga ispalenen.
9 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.
Madadaelto dagiti nangangato a disso ni Isaac, madadaelto dagiti nasantoan a disso ti Israel, ket tumakderakto nga addaan iti kampilan maibusor iti balay ni Jeroboam.
10 Then Amaziah the priest of Bethel sent to Jeroboam king of Israel, saying, Amos has conspired against thee in the midst of the house of Israel. The land is not able to bear all his words.
Kalpasana, nangipatulod ni Amasias a padi ti Betel iti maysa a mensahe kenni Jeroboam nga ari ti Israel: “Nagpanggep ni Amos maibusor kenka iti tengnga ti balay ti Israel. Saan a maibturan ti daga ti amin a saona.
11 For thus Amos says: Jeroboam shall die by the sword, and Israel shall surely be led away captive out of his land.
Ta kastoy ti imbaga ni Amos: 'Matayto ni Jeroboam babaen iti kampilan ken awan duadua a maitalawto a kas balud ti Israel iti lugar nga adayo iti dagana.”
12 Also Amaziah said to Amos, O thou seer, go, flee thou away into the land of Judah, and there eat bread, and prophesy there.
Kinuna ni Amasias kenni Amos, “Profeta, pumanawka, agsublika idiay daga ti Juda, ket manganka sadiay iti tinapay ken agipadtoka sadiay.
13 But do not prophesy again any more at Bethel, for it is the king's sanctuary, and it is a royal house.
Ngem saankan nga agipadto ditoy Betel gapu ta daytoy ket santuario ti ari ken balayna.”
14 Then Amos answered, and said to Amaziah, I was no prophet, nor was I a prophet's son, but I was a herdsman, and a dresser of sycamore trees.
Ket kinuna ni Amos kenni Amasias, “Saanak a profeta wenno putot iti maysa a profeta. Agpaspastorak iti arban ken agay-aywanak kadagiti kayo a sikamoro.
15 And Jehovah took me from following the flock, and Jehovah said to me, Go, prophesy to my people Israel.
Ngem innalanak ni Yahweh iti panagpaspastorko iti arban ket kinunana kaniak, 'Mapanka agipadto kadagiti tattaok nga Israelita.'
16 Now therefore hear thou the word of Jehovah: Thou say, Do not prophesy against Israel, and do not drop thy word against the house of Isaac.
Ita denggem ti sao ni Yahweh. Ibagbagam, 'Saanka nga agipadto maibusor iti Israel, ken saanka nga agsao maibusor iti balay ni Isaac.'
17 Therefore thus says Jehovah: 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 shall die in a land that is unclean. And Israel shall surely be led away captive out of his land.
Ngarud, kastoy ti kuna ni Yahweh: 'Agbalinto a balangkantis iti siudad ti asawam; matayto dagiti putotmo a babbai ken lallaki babaen iti kampilan; marukod ken mabingay-bingayto ti dagam; mataykanto iti narugit a daga, ken awan duadua a maitalawto a kas balud ti Israel manipud iti dagana.”
