Amos 8
1 Thus has Lord YHWH showed me, and behold, a basket of summer-fruit.
Èyí ni ohun tí Olúwa Olódùmarè fihàn mi: agbọ̀n èso pípọ́n.
2 And He says, “What are you seeing, Amos?” And I say, “A basket of summer-fruit.” And YHWH says to me: “The end has come to My people Israel, I no longer pass over to it anymore.
Ó béèrè pé, “Amosi kí ni ìwọ rí.” Mo sì dáhùn pé, “Agbọ̀n èso pípọ́n.” Nígbà náà ni Olúwa wí fún mi pé, “Àsìkò náà pọ́n tó fún àwọn ènìyàn mi Israẹli; Èmi kì yóò dá wọn sí mọ́.”
3 And female singers have howled of a palace in that day,” A declaration of Lord YHWH, “Many [are] the carcasses, into any place throw—hush!”
Olúwa Olódùmarè wí pé, “Ní ọjọ́ náà, àwọn orin tẹmpili yóò yí padà sí ohùn réré ẹkún. Ọ̀pọ̀, àní ọ̀pọ̀ ara òkú ni yóò wà ni ibi gbogbo! Àní ni ìdákẹ́ jẹ́ẹ́!”
4 Hear this, you who are swallowing up the needy, To cause the poor of the land to cease,
Ẹ gbọ́ èyí, ẹ̀yin tí ń tẹ aláìní lórí ba, tí ẹ sì ń sọ tálákà di ilẹ̀.
5 Saying, “When does the new moon pass, And we sell ground grain? And the Sabbath, and we open out pure grain? To make little the ephah, And to make great the shekel, And to use balances of deceit perversely.
Tí ẹ ń wí pé, “Nígbà wo ni oṣù tuntun yóò parí kí àwa bá à lè ta ọkà kí ọjọ́ ìsinmi kí ó lè dópin kí àwa bá à le ta jéró?” Kí a sì dín ìwọ̀n wa kù kí a gbéraga lórí iye tí a ó tà á kí a sì fi òsùwọ̀n èké yàn wọ́n jẹ,
6 To purchase the poor with money, And the needy for a pair of sandals, Indeed, the refuse of the pure grain we sell.”
kí àwa lè fi fàdákà ra àwọn tálákà, kí a sì fi bàtà ẹsẹ̀ méjèèjì ra aláìní, kí a sì ta jéró tí a kó mọ́ ilẹ̀.
7 YHWH has sworn by the excellence of Jacob: “I do not forget any of their works forever.
Olúwa ti fi ìgbéraga Jakọbu búra pé, “Èmi kì yóò gbàgbé ọ̀kan nínú ohun tí wọ́n ṣe.
8 Does the land not tremble for this, And every dweller in it has mourned? And all of it has come up as a flood. And it has been cast out, and has sunk, Like the flood of Egypt.
“Ǹjẹ́ ilẹ̀ náà kì yóò ha wárìrì fún èyí? Àwọn tí ń gbé inú rẹ̀ kì yóò ha ṣọ̀fọ̀? Gbogbo ilẹ̀ yóò ru sókè bí omi Naili, yóò sì ru ú sókè pátápátá bí ìkún omi a ó sì tì í jáde, a ó sì tẹ̀ ẹ́ rì gẹ́gẹ́ bí odò Ejibiti.
9 And it has come to pass in that day,” A declaration of Lord YHWH, “I have caused the sun to go in at noon, And caused darkness on the land in a day of light,
“Yóò sì ṣe ní ọjọ́ náà,” ni Olúwa Olódùmarè wí, “Èmi yóò mú oòrùn wọ̀ ní ọ̀sán, Èmi yóò mú kí ayé ṣókùnkùn ní ọ̀sán gangan.
10 And have turned your festivals to mourning, And all your songs to lamentation, And caused sackcloth to come up on all loins, And on every head—baldness, And made it as a mourning of an only one, And its latter end as a day of bitterness.
Èmí yóò yí àsè ẹ̀sìn yín padà sí ọ̀fọ̀, gbogbo orin yín ni èmi yóò sọ di ẹkún. Èmi yóò mú kí gbogbo yín wọ aṣọ ọ̀fọ̀, kí a sì fá orí yín. Èmi yóò mú kí ìgbà náà rí bí ìṣọ̀fọ̀ fún ọmọkùnrin kan ṣoṣo tí a bí àti òpin rẹ̀ bí ọjọ́ kíkorò.
11 Behold, days are coming,” A declaration of Lord YHWH, “And I have sent a famine into the land, Not a famine of bread, nor a thirst of water, But of hearing the words of YHWH.
“Ọjọ́ ń bọ̀,” ni Olúwa Olódùmarè wí, “nígbà tí èmi yóò rán ìyàn sí ilẹ̀ náà, kì í ṣe ìyàn oúnjẹ tàbí òǹgbẹ fún omi. Ṣùgbọ́n ìyàn gbígbọ́ ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa.
12 And they have wandered from sea to sea, And from north even to east, They go to and fro to seek the word of YHWH, And they do not find [it].
Àwọn ènìyàn yóò rìn kiri láti Òkun dé Òkun wọn yóò sì máa rìn ká láti gúúsù sí àríwá, wọn yóò máa wá ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa ṣùgbọ́n wọn kì yóò rí i.
13 In that day the beautiful virgins, And the young men, faint with thirst.
“Ní ọjọ́ náà “àwọn arẹwà wúńdíá àti àwọn alágbára ọ̀dọ́mọkùnrin yóò dákú fún òǹgbẹ omi.
14 Those swearing by the guilt of Samaria, And who have said, Your god lives, O Dan, And, The way of Beer-Sheba lives, Indeed, they have fallen and do not rise again!”
Àwọn tí ó fi ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ Samaria búra, tí wọ́n sì wí pé, ‘Bí ó ti dájú pé ọlọ́run rẹ ń bẹ láààyè, ìwọ Dani,’ bí ó ti dájú pè ọlọ́run rẹ ń bẹ láààyè, ìwọ Beerṣeba, wọ́n yóò ṣubú, wọn kì yóò si tún dìde mọ.”
