Amos 7

1 This is what the Lord GOD showed me: He was preparing swarms of locusts just after the king’s harvest, as the late spring crop was coming up.

Oasr aruruma se nga liye sin LEUM GOD Fulat. In aruruma se inge nga liye El orala u in locust na lulap se tukunna pacl se kosreyukla mah nun kosro nutin tokosra, ac sruen mah uh mutawauk in srunak.

2 And when the locusts had eaten every green plant in the land, I said, “Lord GOD, please forgive! How will Jacob survive, since he is so small?”

Ke aruruma sac nga liye ke locust uh mutawauk in kangla mah ac sra nukewa fin acn uh, na nga fahk, “LEUM GOD Fulat, nunak munas nu sin mwet in fwil natul Jacob! Elos ac moulla fuka? Elos arulana munas!”

3 So the LORD relented from this plan. “It will not happen,” He said.

Na LEUM GOD El ekulla nunak lal ac fahk, “Ma kom liye uh ac fah tia sikyak.”

4 This is what the Lord GOD showed me: The Lord GOD was calling for judgment by fire. It consumed the great deep and devoured the land.

Nga sifil liye sie aruruma sin LEUM GOD Fulat. In aruruma sac, nga liye El akoo in kalyei mwet lal ke e. E sac furreak meoa lulap ye faclu, ac mutawauk in esukak acn uh.

5 Then I said, “Lord GOD, please stop! How will Jacob survive, since he is so small?”

Na nga fahk, “O LEUM GOD Fulat, tulokinya e u! Mwet lom uh ac moulla fuka? Elos arulana pu ac munas!”

6 So the LORD relented from this plan. “It will not happen either,” said the Lord GOD.

Na LEUM GOD El sifilpa ekulla nunak lal ac fahk, “Ma se inge ac fah tia pac sikyak.”

7 This is what He showed me: Behold, the Lord was standing by a wall true to plumb, with a plumb line in His hand.

Na nga sifil liye sie aruruma sin LEUM GOD. In aruruma se inge nga liye El tu sisken soko pot, ma mwet musa elos tuh orekmakin soko ah in aksuwos ke elos musai, ac LEUM GOD El sruok ah in aksuwos soko in paol.

8 “Amos, what do you see?” asked the LORD. “A plumb line,” I replied. “Behold,” said the Lord, “I am setting a plumb line among My people Israel; I will no longer spare them:

El siyuk sik, “Amos, mea kom liye?” Na nga fahk, “Ah in aksuwos soko.” Na El fahk, “Nga orekmakin ah soko inge in akkalemye lah mwet luk elos oana soko pot ma kihla. Nga ac fah tia sifil ekulla nunak luk lah nga ac kalyaelos.

9 The high places of Isaac will be deserted, and the sanctuaries of Israel will be laid waste; and I will rise up against the house of Jeroboam with My sword.”

Acn nukewa mwet in fwil natul Isaac alu we ac fah kunanula. Acn mutal lun Israel ac fah sruala. Nga ac wotela tokosrai lun sou lal Tokosra Jeroboam in wanginla.”

10 Then Amaziah the priest of Bethel sent word to Jeroboam king of Israel, saying, “Amos has conspired against you in the midst of the house of Israel. The land cannot bear all his words,

Na Amaziah, mwet tol fulat in acn Bethel, el supwala kas nu yorol Tokosra Jeroboam lun Israel, su fahk ouinge: “Amos el fahk kas in lain kom inmasrlon mwet uh. Sramsram lal uh ac kunausla facl se inge.

11 for this is what Amos has said: ‘Jeroboam will die by the sword, and Israel will surely go into exile, away from their homeland.’”

Pa inge ma el fahk, ‘Jeroboam el fah misa ke mweun, ac mwet Israel fah utukla liki acn selos nu in sruoh.’”

12 And Amaziah said to Amos, “Go away, you seer! Flee to the land of Judah; earn your bread there and do your prophesying there.

Na Amaziah el fahk nu sel Amos, “Mwet palu, folokla nu Judah ac oru luti lom in acn we. Lela mwet we in moli nu sum.

13 But never prophesy at Bethel again, because it is the sanctuary of the king and the temple of the kingdom.”

Nimet sifilpa palu in acn Bethel. Acn in alu sin tokosra ac mwet in facl se inge nufon pa inge.”

14 “I was not a prophet,” Amos replied, “nor was I the son of a prophet; rather, I was a herdsman and a tender of sycamore-fig trees.

Na Amos el topuk, “Nga tia palu in moul nu sik. Nga sie mwet liyaung sheep, ac nga orekma ke sak fig.

15 But the LORD took me from following the flock and said to me, ‘Go, prophesy to My people Israel.’

Tuh pa LEUM GOD El eisyula liki orekma in mwet shepherd, ac sap nga in tuku ac palu nu sin mwet lal, mwet Israel.

16 Now, therefore, hear the word of the LORD. You say: ‘Do not prophesy against Israel; do not preach against the house of Isaac.’

Inge, lohng ma LEUM GOD El fahk. Kom fahk nu sik nga in tia palu ac in tia kaskas lain mwet Israel.

17 Therefore this is what the LORD says: ‘Your wife will become a prostitute in the city, and your sons and daughters will fall by the sword. Your land will be divided by a measuring line, and you yourself will die on pagan soil. And Israel will surely go into exile, away from their homeland.’”

Ke kom fahk ouinge, Amaziah, LEUM GOD El fahk nu sum, ‘Mutan kiom an ac fah ekla sie mutan kosro su eis molin kosro lal in siti uh, ac tulik nutum ac fah anwuki ke mweun. Acn sum ac fah kitakatelik ac itukyang nu sin kutu pacna mwet, ac kom sifacna ac fah misa in facl sin mwet pegan. Pwayena mwet Israel fah utukla liki acn selos nu in sruoh.’”
