Amos 8
1 thus to see: see me Lord YHWH/God and behold basket summer
Hiki ndicho ambacho bwana Yahwe amenionyesha. Tazama, kikapu cha matunda ya hari!
2 and to say what? you(m. s.) to see: see Amos and to say basket summer and to say LORD to(wards) me to come (in): come [the] end to(wards) people my Israel not to add: again still to pass to/for him
Akasema, “Unaona nini, Amosi?” Nikasema, “Kikapu cha matunda ya hari.” Kisha Yahwe akanambia, “Mwisho umefika kwa watu wangu Israeli; sintowaumiza tena.
3 and to wail song temple in/on/with day [the] he/she/it utterance Lord YHWH/God many [the] corpse in/on/with all place to throw to silence
Nyimbo za kwenye hekalu zitakuwa vilio. Katika siku hiyo-hivi ndivyo asemavyo Bwana Yahwe. Mizoga itakuwa mingi, katika kila sehemu wataitupa katika ukimya!”
4 to hear: hear this [the] to crush needy and to/for to cease (afflicted *Q(K)*) land: country/planet
Lisikilizeni hili, ninyi mkanyagao maskini na kumuondoa fukara wa nchi.
5 to/for to say how to pass [the] month: new moon and to buy grain grain and [the] Sabbath and to open grain to/for be small ephah and to/for to magnify shekel and to/for to pervert balance deceit
wakisema, “Wakati mwezi mpya utakapoisha, hivyo tunaweza kuuza mazao tena? Wakati siku ya Sabato itakapoisha, ili kwamba tuuze ngano? Tutafanya kipimo kidogo na kuongeza bei, tukidanganya kwa mizani za udanganyifu.
6 to/for to buy in/on/with silver: money poor and needy in/on/with for the sake of sandal and refuse grain to buy grain
Hivi ndivyo ambavyo tunaweza kuuza ngano mbaya, kununua fukara kwa fedha, na masikini kwa jozi moja ya kubadhi.”
7 to swear LORD in/on/with pride Jacob if: surely yes to forget to/for perpetuity all deed their
Yahwe ameapa kwa fahari ya Yakobo, “Hakika sintoweza kusahau kazi zao hata moja.”
8 upon this not to tremble [the] land: country/planet and to mourn all to dwell in/on/with her and to ascend: rise like/as Nile all her and to drive out: drive out (and to sink *Q(K)*) like/as Nile Egypt
Je nchi haitatetemeka kwa hili, na kila mmoja aishiye kuombolezea? Yote hayo yatainuka kama Mto Naili, nayo itataabika juu na kupwa tena, kama mto wa Misri.
9 and to be in/on/with day [the] he/she/it utterance Lord YHWH/God and to come (in): (sun)set [the] sun in/on/with midday and to darken to/for land: country/planet in/on/with day light
“Itakuja siku ambayo -huu ndio usemi wa Bwana Yahwe- kwamba nitafanya jua litue wakati wa mchana, na nitaiweka giza dunia wakati wa mchana.
10 and to overturn feast your to/for mourning and all song your to/for dirge and to ascend: establish upon all loin sackcloth and upon all head bald spot and to set: make her like/as mourning only and end her like/as day bitter
Nitazigeuza sikukuu zenu kuwa maombolezo na nyimbo zenu zote kuwa masikitiko. Nitawafanya wote kuvaa nguo za magunia na kipara juu ya kila kichwa. Nitayafanya haya kama maombolezo kwa mwana pekee, na siku ya uchungu mwisho wake.
11 behold day to come (in): come utterance Lord YHWH/God and to send: depart famine in/on/with land: country/planet not famine to/for food: bread and not thirst to/for water that if: except if: except to/for to hear: hear [obj] word LORD
Tazama, siku zinakuja -asema Bwana Yahwe- wakati nitakapoleta njaa katika nchi, sio njaa ya mkate, wala kiu ya maji, ila kusikia maneno ya Yahwe.
12 and to shake from sea till sea and from north and till east to rove to/for to seek [obj] word LORD and not to find
watatangatanga kutoka bahari hata bahari; watakimbia kutoka kaskazini kwenda magharibi kutafuta neno la Yahwe, lakini hawatalipata.
13 in/on/with day [the] he/she/it to enwrap [the] virgin [the] beautiful and [the] youth in/on/with thirst
Katika siku hiyo wanawali wazuri na wavulana watazimia kutokana na njaa.
14 [the] to swear in/on/with guiltiness Samaria and to say alive God your Dan and alive way: road Beersheba Beersheba and to fall: kill and not to arise: rise still
Wale waapao kwa dhambi ya Samaria wataanguka na hawatainuka tena.”
