Amos 7
1 Thus hath the Lord God shewed vnto mee, and beholde, he formed grashoppers in the beginning of ye shooting vp of the latter grouth: and loe, it was in the latter grouth after the Kings mowing.
Waaqayyo Gooftaan waan kana natti argisiise: Inni erga qoodni mootichaa haamamee booddee, utuma midhaan lammaffaan gaʼaa jiruu tuuta hawwaannisaa qopheesse.
2 And when they had made an ende of eating the grasse of the land, then I saide, O Lord God, spare, I beseeche thee: who shall raise vp Iaakob? for he is small.
Anis erga hawwaannisni sun lafa barbadeessee booddee, “Yaa Waaqayyo Gooftaa, nuuf araarami! Yaaqoob akkamiin dandaʼee badiisa irraa hafa? Inni daaʼima xinnaa dha!” jedheen iyye.
3 So the Lord repented for this. It shall not be, saith the Lord.
Kanaafuu Waaqayyo ni gaabbe. Waaqayyos, “Wanni kun hin taʼu” jedhe.
4 Thus also hath the Lord God shewed vnto me, and behold, the Lord God called to iudgement by fire, and it deuoured the great deepe, and did eate vp a part.
Waaqayyo Gooftaan waan kana natti argisiise; Waaqayyo Gooftaan murtii kennuuf ibidda waamaa ture; ibiddi sunis tuujuba guddaa gogsee lafas ni barbadeesse.
5 Then said I, O Lord God, cease, I beseeche thee: who shall raise vp Iaakob? for he is small.
Kana irratti ani, “Yaa Waaqayyo Gooftaa, ani sin kadhadhaa, waan kana nurraa dhaabi! Yaaqoob akkamiin waan kana irraa hafa? Inni daaʼima xinnaa dha!” jedheen iyye.
6 So the Lord repented for this. This also shall not be, saith the Lord God.
Kanaafuu Waaqayyo ni gaabbe. Waaqayyo Gooftaan, “Wanni kunis hin taʼu” jedhe.
7 Thus againe he shewed me, and behold, the Lord stoode vpon a wall made by line with a line in his hand.
Inni waan kana na argisiise: Gooftaan tumbii harkatti qabatee dallaa tumbiidhaan ijaarame bira dhaabachaa ture.
8 And the Lord saide vnto me, Amos, what seest thou? And I said, A line. Then said the Lord, Beholde, I wil set a line in the middes of my people Israel, and wil passe by them no more.
Waaqayyos, “Amoos, ati maal arguutti jirta?” jedhee na gaafate. Anis, “Tumbii nan arga” jedheen deebise. Gooftaanis akkana naan jedhe; “Kunoo ani saba koo Israaʼel gidduu tumbii tokko nan kaaʼa; ani siʼachi isaan hin baraaru.
9 And the hye places of Izhak shalbe desolate, and the temples of Israel shalbe destroyed: and I wil rise against the house of Ieroboam with the sworde.
“Iddoowwan sagadaa Yisihaaq ni barbadaaʼu; iddoon qulqulluun Israaʼelis ni ona; ani goraadee kootiin mana Yerobiʼaamitti nan kaʼa.”
10 Then Amaziah the Priest of Beth-el sent to Ieroboam King of Israel, saying, Amos hath conspired against thee in the middes of the house of Israel: the lande is not able to beare all his wordes.
Ergasii Amasiyaa lubni Beetʼeel akkana jedhee Yerobiʼaam mooticha Israaʼelitti ergaa tokko erge; “Amoos garaa Israaʼel keessatti sitti malateera. Dubbii isaa hunda lafti iyyuu baachuu hin dandeessu.
11 For thus Amos saith, Ieroboam shall die by the sworde, and Israel shalbe led away captiue out of their owne land.
Amoos akkana jedheeraatii: “‘Yerobiʼaam goraadeedhaan duʼa; Israaʼelis dhugumaan boojiʼamee biyya isaatii ni fudhatama.’”
12 Also Amaziah sayde vnto Amos, O thou the Seer, goe, flee thou away into the land of Iudah, and there eate thy bread and prophecie there.
Kana irratti Amasiyaan Amoosiin akkana jedhe; “Yaa ilaaltuu nana, sokki! Biyya Yihuudaatti deebiʼi. Achitti buddeena nyaadhu; raajiis dubbadhu.
13 But prophecie no more at Beth-el: for it is the Kings chappel, and it is the Kings court.
Sababii inni iddoo qulqulluu mootichaatii fi mana qulqullummaa mootummaa taʼeef ati lammata Beetʼeel keessatti raajii hin dubbatin.”
14 Then answered Amos, and said to Amaziah, I was no Prophet, neither was I a prophets sonne, but I was an herdman, and a gatherer of wilde figs.
Amoos immoo akkana jedhee Amasiyaaf deebise; “Ani raajii yookaan ilma raajii miti; garuu ani tiksee fi eegduu muka harbuun ture.
15 And the Lord tooke me as I followed the flocke, and the Lord said vnto me, Go, prophecie vnto my people Israel.
Waaqayyo garuu tika bushaayee keessaa na fuudhee, ‘Dhaqii saba koo Israaʼelitti raajii dubbadhu’ naan jedhe.
16 Now therefore heare thou the word of the Lord. Thou sayest, Prophecie not against Israel, and speake nothing against the house of Izhak.
Egaa amma dubbii Waaqayyoo dhagaʼi. Ati akkana jetta; “‘Ati Israaʼeliin mormuudhaan raajii hin dubbatin; mana Yisihaaq mormuudhaan lallabuu dhiisi.’
17 Therefore thus sayth the Lord, Thy wife shall be an harlot in the citie, and thy sonnes and thy daughters shall fall by the sword, and thy land shall be deuided by line: and thou shalt die in a polluted land, and Israel shall surely go into captiuitie forth of his land.
“Kanaafuu Waaqayyo akkana jedha: “‘Niitiin kee magaalaa keessatti sagaagaltuu taati; ilmaan keetii fi intallan kee goraadeedhaan dhumu. Biyyi kee safaramtee gargar qoodamti; ati mataan kee iyyuu biyya ormaatti duuta. Israaʼel dhugumaan boojiʼamee biyya isaatii ni fuudhama.’”
