Amos 8

1 Thus he showed me [the] Lord Yahweh and there! a basket of summer fruit.

Afei, deɛ Otumfoɔ Awurade yi kyerɛɛ me nie: kɛntɛn a aduaba a abereɛ wɔ mu.

2 And he said what? [are] you seeing O Amos and I said a basket of summer fruit and he said Yahweh to me it has come the end to people my Israel not I will repeat again to pass by it.

Ɔbisaa sɛ, “Ɛdeɛn na wohunu, Amos?” Mebuaa sɛ, “Kɛntɛn a wɔde nnuaba a abereɛ ahyɛ no ma.” Ɛna Awurade ka kyerɛɛ me sɛ, “Me nkurɔfoɔ Israelfoɔ berɛ no aso; meremfa wɔn ho nnkyɛ wɔn bio.”

3 And they will wail songs of [the] temple on the day that [the] utterance of [the] Lord Yahweh many the corpse[s] in every place someone will throw hush!

Sɛdeɛ Otumfoɔ Awurade seɛ nie, “Saa ɛda no, asɔrefie nnwontoɔ bɛdane menabɔ. Wɔbɛbɔ afunu bebree apete baabiara! Enti yɛ komm!”

4 Hear this O those [who] trample on [the] needy and to put an end to ([the] afflicted [people] of *Q(K)*) [the] land.

Montie saa asɛm yi, mo a motiatia mmɔborɔwafoɔ so, na mopam ahiafoɔ firi wɔn asase so,

5 Saying when? will it pass the new moon so we may sell grain grain and the sabbath so we may open grain to make small an ephah and to make great a shekel and to falsify balances of deceit.

na moka sɛ, “Ɛberɛ bɛn na ɔbosome foforɔ bɛtwam ama yɛatɔn aduane, na Homeda bɛba awieeɛ ama yɛadi ayuo dwa?” Sɛ mobɛhyɛ susukora mu na moatoto ɛboɔ so na mode nsania a wɔamia mu asisi atɔfoɔ,

6 To buy for silver poor [people] and [the] needy for sake of a pair of sandals and refuse of grain we will sell grain.

na mode dwetɛ atɔ ahiafoɔ na mmɔborɔwafoɔ nso moatɔn wɔn agye mpaboa, na moapra ayuo ase afra ayuo mu atɔn.

7 He has sworn Yahweh by [the] pride of Jacob if I will forget to perpetuity all deeds their.

Awurade de Yakob ahohoahoa aka ntam sɛ: “Me werɛ remfiri biribiara a wɔayɛ da.

8 ¿ On this not will it tremble the land and he will mourn every [one who] dwells in it and it will rise like the light all of it and it will be tossed (and it will sink *Q(K)*) like [the] River of Egypt.

“Asase renwoso wɔ deɛ asie yi ho anaa, na wɔn a wɔte mu nyinaa ntwa adwo anaa? Asase no nyinaa bɛpagya ne ho te sɛ Nil ɛbubu afa so, na asane atwe bio te sɛ Misraim asubɔnten.”

9 And it will be - on the day that [the] utterance of [the] Lord Yahweh and I will cause to go the sun at noon and I will make dark the earth in a day of light.

Sɛdeɛ Otumfoɔ Awurade seɛ nie, “Saa ɛda no, mɛma owia atɔ owigyinaeɛ, na mama esum aduru asase so awia ketee.

10 And I will turn feasts your into mourning and all songs your into lamentation and I will bring up on all loins sackcloth and on every head baldness and I will make it like [the] mourning of an only [son] and end its [will be] like a day bitter.

Mɛdane mo nyamesom apontoɔ ama ayɛ awerɛhoɔdie na mo nnwontoɔ nyinaa adane osu. Mɛma mo nyinaa afira ayitoma na mayi mo tirinwi. Mɛyɛ saa da no te sɛ ɔba korɔ ho awerɛhoɔdie da na awieeɛ no ayɛ sɛ da a ɛyɛ nwono.

11 Here! - days [are] coming [the] utterance of [the] Lord Yahweh and I will send a famine in the land not a famine for bread and not a thirst for water that except for hearing [the] words of Yahweh.

“Nna no reba” sɛdeɛ Otumfoɔ Awurade seɛ nie, “Mɛma ɛkɔm aba asase no so, ɛnnyɛ aduane ɛkɔm anaa nsukɔm, na mmom, Awurade asɛm ho ɛkɔm.

12 And people will stagger from sea to sea and from [the] north and to [the] east they will rove about to seek [the] word of Yahweh and not they will find [it].

Nnipa bɛtɔ ntentan akyinkyin firi ɛpo so akɔ ɛpo so na wɔakyinkyini afiri atifi fam akɔ apueeɛ fam, sɛ wɔrekɔhwehwɛ Awurade asɛm, nanso wɔrenhunu.

13 In the day that they will become faint the virgins beautiful and the young men by thirst.

“Na saa da no “mmabaawa ahoɔfɛfoɔ ne mmarimaa ahoɔdenfoɔ bɛtotɔ baha ɛsiane osukɔm enti.

14 Those [who] swear by [the] guilt of Samaria and they will say [by] [the] life of gods your O Dan and [by] [the] life of [the] way of Beer Sheba and they will fall and not they will rise again.

Wɔn a wɔde Samaria aniwuo abosom ka ntam, anaa wɔde Dan ne Beer-Seba abosom ka ntamka no, wɔbɛhwehwe ase na wɔrensɔre bio.”
