Amos 8
1 Thus did Jehovah shew unto me; and behold, a basket of summer-fruit.
Fweny mane Jehova Nyasaye Manyalo Gik Moko Duto okelona ema: Ne aneno atonga mopongʼ gi olemo mochiek.
2 And he said, Amos, what seest thou? And I said, A basket of summer-fruit. And Jehovah said unto me, The end is come upon my people Israel: I will not again pass by them any more.
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.”
3 And the songs of the palace shall be howlings in that day, saith the Lord Jehovah. The dead bodies shall be many; in every place they shall be cast forth. Silence!
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!”
4 Hear this, ye that pant after the needy, even to cause to fail the poor of the land,
Winjuru un joma sando jochan, kendo mosiko mana kamayo joma odhier puothegi,
5 saying, When will the new moon be gone, that we may sell corn? and the sabbath, that we may set forth wheat? making the ephah small and the shekel great, and falsifying the balances for deceit:
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!
6 that we may buy the poor for silver, and the needy for a pair of shoes; and that we may sell the refuse of the wheat.
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.”
7 Jehovah hath sworn by the glory of Jacob, Certainly I will never forget any of their works.
Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasach joka Jakobo osekwongʼore ni wiye ok nowil gi timbegi maricho.
8 Shall not the land tremble for this, and every one mourn that dwelleth therein? And it shall wholly rise up like the Nile; and it shall surge and sink down, as the river of Egypt.
“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.”
9 And it shall come to pass in that day, saith the Lord Jehovah, that I will cause the sun to go down at noon, and I will darken the land in the clear day.
Jehova Nyasaye Manyalo Gik Moko Duto wacho niya, “Chiengʼno anami chiengʼ podhi e chuny odiechiengʼ tir, kendo anami piny lokre mudho godiechiengʼ.
10 And I will turn your feasts into mourning, and all your songs into lamentation; and I will bring up sackcloth upon all loins, and baldness upon every head; and I will make it as the mourning for an only [son], and the end thereof as a bitter day.
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.”
11 Behold, days come, saith the Lord Jehovah, when I will send a famine in the land; not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the words of Jehovah.
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.
12 And they shall wander from sea to sea, and from the north to the east; they shall run to and fro to seek the word of Jehovah, and shall not find it.
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.
13 In that day shall the fair virgins and the young men faint for thirst;
“Chiengʼno “nyiri mabeyo kod yawuowi maroteke nopodh piny ni kech riyo.
14 they that swear by the sin of Samaria, and say, [As] thy god, O Dan, liveth! and, [As] the way of Beer-sheba liveth! even they shall fall, and never rise up again.
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.”
