< Amos 8 >

1 This is what the LORD showed me: And look, a basket of summer fruit.
Waaqayyo Gooftaan waan kana natti argisiise: kun guuboo ija bilchaateen guutamee dha.
2 He said, "Amos, what do you see?" I said, "A basket of summer fruit." Then the LORD said to me, "The end has come on my people Israel. I will not again pass by them any more.
Innis, “Amoos, ati maal arguutti jirta?” jedhee na gaafate. Ani immoo, “Guuboo ija bilchaateen guutame tokko” jedheen deebiseef. Ergasii Waaqayyo akkana naan jedhe; “Saba koo Israaʼelitti yeroon dhufeera; ani siʼachi isaan hin baraaru.”
3 The songs of the temple will be wailings in that day," says the LORD. "The dead bodies will be many. In every place they will throw them out with silence.
Waaqayyo Gooftaan akkana jedha; “Gaafas faarfannaan mana qulqullummaa keessaa booʼichatti geeddarama. Reeffi akka malee hedduun lafa hundatti gatama! Calʼisuunis ni taʼa!”
4 Hear this, you who trample the needy, and destroy the poor of the land,
Isin warri rakkattoota dhidhiittanii hiyyeeyyii biyyattii balleessitan waan kana dhagaʼaa;
5 saying, 'When will the new moon be gone, that we may sell grain? And the Sabbath, that we may market wheat, making the ephah small, and the shekel large, and dealing falsely with balances of deceit;
isin akkana jettu; “Akka nu midhaan gurgurannuuf Baatiin Haaraan yoom goobana? Akka nu qamadii gabaa baafannuuf Sanbanni yoom darba?” Isin warri safartuu xinnootti fayyadamtanii gatii immoo ol kaaftan, madaalii sobaatiin nama gowwoomsitanii saamtu;
6 that we may buy the poor for silver, and the needy for a pair of shoes, and sell the sweepings with the wheat?'"
hiyyeeyyii meetiidhaan, rakkataa immoo kophee miilla lamaaniitiin bitattanii girdiis qamadii wajjin gurgurattu.
7 The LORD has sworn by the pride of Jacob, "Surely I will never forget any of their works.
Waaqayyo akkana jedhee ulfina Yaaqoobiin kakateera; “Ani gonkumaa waan isaan hojjetan tokko illee hin irraanfadhu.
8 Won't the land tremble for this, and everyone mourn who dwells in it? Yes, it will rise up wholly like the River; and it will be stirred up and sink again, like the River of Egypt.
“Sababii kanaaf lafti kirkirtee namoonni ishee keessa jiraatan hundi hin booʼanii? Guutummaan biyya sanaa akkuma laga Abbayyaa ol kaʼa; isheen akkuma laga Gibxi ol dadarbatamtee liqimfamti.”
9 It will happen in that day," says the LORD, "that I will cause the sun to go down at noon, and I will darken the earth in the clear day.
Waaqayyo Gooftaan akkana jedha; “Bara sana, “Ani akka aduun saafaadhaan dhiitee laftis guyyuma adiidhaan dukkanooftu nan godha.
10 I will turn your feasts into mourning, and all your songs into lamentation; and I will make you wear sackcloth on all your bodies, and baldness on every head. I will make it like the mourning for an only son, and its end like a bitter day.
Ani ayyaana amantii keessanii gaddatti, sirba keessan hundas booʼichatti nan geeddara. Ani akka isin hundi wayyaa gaddaa uffattanii mataa keessan haaddattan nan godha. Ani yeroo sana akkuma booʼicha ilma tokkichaa, dhuma isaas akka guyyaa hadhaaʼaa nan godha.”
11 Look, the days come," says the LORD, "that I will send a famine in the land, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the word of the LORD.
Waaqayyo Gooftaan akkana jedha; “Yeroon ani biyyattiitti beela fidu tokko ni dhufa; innis beela dubbii Waaqayyoo dhagaʼuu ti malee beela nyaataa yookaan dheebuu bishaanii miti.
12 They will wander from sea to sea, and from the north even to the east; they will run back and forth to seek the word of the LORD, and will not find it.
Namoonni dubbii Waaqayyoo barbaacha galaanaa gara galaanaatti, kaabaa gara baʼa biiftuutti ni jooru; garuu hin argatan.
13 In that day the beautiful virgins and the young men will faint for thirst.
“Bara sana “Shamarran babbareedoo fi dargaggoonni dhiiraa jajjaboon dheebotanii gaggabu.
14 Those who swear by the sin of Samaria, and say, 'As your god, Dan, lives;' and, 'As the way of Beersheba lives;' they will fall, and never rise up again."
Warri cubbuu Samaariyaatiin kakatan yookaan ‘Yaa Daan dhugaa waaqa kee jiraataa’ jedhan, yookaan warri ‘Dhugaa waaqa Bersheebaa’ jedhanii kakatan akka lammata hin kaaneef ni kufu.”
