Amos 5
1 You people [MTY] of Israel, listen to this funeral song that I will sing about you:
Nabima! Isala: ili fi dunu goe bogoi da: iya gesami hea: su, amo agoane Na dilima gesami hea: mu.
2 “You are like [MET] a young woman, but in spite of that, you will certainly be struck down and you will never get up again! You will lie on the ground, abandoned, and there will be no one to help you stand up.”
Isala: ili da a: fini dafai agoane ba: sa. Bu wa: legadomu da hamedei galebe! E da osobo gudu diasa: i enoga fisi udigili diala, amola dunu afaega da fidili hame wa: legadolesisa.
3 This is what Yahweh the Lord says to the people [MTY] of Israel: [“When your enemies attack you, ] and when 1,000 [of your soldiers] will go [to a battle], there will be only 100 who will survive. When 100 soldiers march out [from a city to fight], there will be only ten who will remain alive.”
Ouligisudafa Hina Gode da amane sia: sa. “Isala: ili osobo dogone fi ilia da gegesu dunu 1000 agoane gegena masa: ne asunasisa, be amomane 100 agoane ilia fawane bu sinidigili manebe ba: sa. Amola Isala: ili osobo dogone fi eno amo ganodini ilia fi oda 100 agoane gegena masa: ne asunasisa be amomane 10 ilia fawane buhagisa.”
4 Yahweh continues to say to the people [MTY] of Israel: “You Israeli people, return to me! If you do that, you will continue to remain alive.
Ouligisudafa Hina Gode da Isala: ili dunu fi ilima amane sia: sa. “Nama misa! Amasea, dilia da esalumu.
5 Do not go to Bethel to seek [my help]; do not go to Gilgal [to worship]; do not [even] go to Beersheba, because [your enemies] will drag away [the people of] Gilgal to other countries, and Bethel will be completely destroyed.”
Dilia Biasiba moilai bai bagadega nodone sia: ne gadomusa: mae masa. Dilia Bedele moilaiga Na hogole ba: musa: mae masa! Bedele da hamedei agoane ba: mu. Giliga: le sogega mae masa! Ea fi dunu da ga sogega afugili gaguli asi dagoi ba: mu.”
6 So, come to Yahweh; if you do that, you will remain alive. If you do not do that, Yahweh will descend on you descendants [MTY] of Joseph like [SIM] a fire; that fire will burn everything in Bethel, and (nothing/no one) will be able to save that town.
Dilia Hina Godema sinidigima! Amasea dilia da esalumu. Be Ema hame sinidigisia, Ea da lalu agoane misini, Isala: ili dunuma se dabe imunu. Amo lalu da Bedele dunu huluane nene dagomu, amola amo lalu da ha: ba: domu hamedeiwane ba: mu.
7 You people distort what is fair/right and cause [people to think that] it is something that is very bitter; you treat good things as though they are evil.
Dilia da dunu eno se nabima: ne ogogosa amola moloidafa hou hame dawa: Amaiba: le, dilia da gugunufinisi dagoi ba: mu.
8 [Do you know who] created all the groups of stars and put them in their places? [Each morning] he causes the darkness to become the dawn, and [each evening] he causes the daylight to become darkness. He scoops up water from the oceans [to become clouds], and then he dumps the water [from the clouds] onto the earth. The one who does those things is named Yahweh.
Hina Gode da gasumuni huluane hahamoi. Hi fawane da gasumuni gilisisu Baleiadese amola Olione hahamoi. Ea da gasi amo afadenene bu ha iaha. Amola ha amo afadenene bu gasi iaha. E da wayabo bagade amoma hano misa: ne sia: sea, amomane E da osobo bagadega sogadigisa. Ea Dio da Hina Godedafa.
9 He causes strong [soldiers] to be killed, and causes the (high walls around/fortresses of) cities to be torn down.
Ea da dunu gasala fofonobonesisa amola ilia diasu noga: le gagili sala amo mugulusa.
10 [He is the one who will punish you] because you hate those who challenge anyone who tries to make unjust decisions, and you hate those who tell the truth in your courts.
Be dunu moloidafa ilia fofada: musa: masea, amola sia: moloi sia: sea, amo dunu dilia da higasa.
11 You oppress poor people and force them to pay big taxes. You have built big stone mansions [for yourselves], but you will not be able to live in them. You have planted vineyards, but there will not be any [grapes for you to harvest to make] wine.
Dilia da liligi hame gagui dunu ilia liligi amola ha: i manu huluane wamolasa. Dilia da diasu igiga noga: le gasa gala gagui, be amomane dilia da diasu goega hame esalumu. Amola dilia sagaia da waini sagai, be amomane da waini hano da hame manu, goe sagai ganodini.
12 I know all of your sins and the terrible crimes that you have committed. You oppress righteous/honest people, and you accept bribes. You do not allow judges to treat poor people justly.
Na dawa: dilia wadela: i hou amo da wadela: idafa amola Na dawa: dilia afuda: i liligi amo. Dilia da dunu noga: i amo wadela: lesisa. Dilia hano suligi sia: amoga sia: ma: ne bidi laha amola dunu liligi hame gagui amo ea sia: amo moloidafa mae sia: ma: ne dedebosa.
13 This is a time when [many people do] evil things, so people who have good sense say nothing [when they hear about such things being done].
Amola dilia wadela: i hou ba: sea hamedafa gagabole sia: sa: ima da defea, dilia da giadofale agoane dawa: sa.
14 In order to remain alive, you must stop doing what is wrong, and start doing what is right. If you do that, the Commander of the armies of angels will be with you like you claim [that he always is].
Dilia da hou noga: idafa amola moloidafa ilegema! Amane hamosea, dilia da noga: le esalumu. Dilia da agoane sia: sa, ‘Gode, Hina Gode Bagadedafa E amo da nini gilisili esafula.’ Be dilia wadela: i hou hamobeba: le, E da dili gilisili hame esafula. Be noga: i hou goe hamosea, defeadafa, Gode da dili gilisili esalumu.
15 Love what is good, and hate what is evil! Try to cause [judges] in your courts to make decisions that are right/fair! If you do those things, perhaps the Commander of the armies of angels will act mercifully toward [you descendants of] Joseph who are still alive.
Wadela: i hou huluane yolesima amola hou moloidafa fa: no bobogema! Dilia fofada: su ganodini sia: moloidafa sia: sa: ima! Dilia moloidafa sia: dasea, Hina Gode da dili amola dilia fi dunu hame bogoi esala, amo hame yolesimu be gagui dialumu.
16 “Because I, Yahweh, [will punish you for your sins], this is what I have solemnly declared: People will be wailing loudly in every street, and people will be very sorrowful in every plaza. Farmers will be summoned to [come and] weep, along with the other official mourners who will wail [for those who have died].
Ouligisudafa Hina Gode Bagadedafa da amane sia: sa, “Osobo dogone fi moilai bai bagade logo fodoi amogai aligili ilima didigia: su bagade da nabimu. Amola sagale nasu dawa: dunu huluane da wele guda: le da muni lama: ne bogoi da: iya asigili didigia: be agoane hamomu.
17 People will be wailing in your vineyards, because I will punish you [IDM] severely. [That will surely happen because] I, Yahweh, have said it!”
Waini sagai huluane amo ganodini da didigia: su bagade nabimu. Bai Na da misini dilima se dabe imunu.” Hina Gode da amane sia: i dagoi.
18 Terrible things will happen to you who desire that it will soon be the day when Yahweh [will punish your enemies], because that will be a day of darkness, not of light.
Dilia da Hina Gode Ea Eso hedolodafa doaga: mu hanai be dilia da amomane se bagade nabimu. Amo eso doaga: sea da dili hame fidimu. Dilia dawa: lobada, amo da esoi hadigisala: ? Hame mabu! Amo eso da dilima gasi agoane ba: mu.
19 [At that time, ] when you try to run from a lion, you will face a bear. When you run into your house [to be safe], and you put your hand on a wall, it will be bitten by a snake.
Fedege agoane amo eso doaga: sea da agoane ba: mu. Dunu e da laione wa: me amo sodole hobeale ahoasea, e da bea ea logo damubi ba: mu. O dunu da hina: diasuga golili dasea, ea lobo amo dobea amoga ligisisia, saniaga lobo gasomai ba: mu.
20 That day, [when he punishes people], will certainly be [RHQ] a very dark day [MET], without even a little bit of light.
Hina Gode E mabe galu, amo da gasi bagade misunu amola hamedafa hadigi ba: mu. Hame dafawanese!
21 [Yahweh says], “I hate your religious celebrations and the times when you gather to worship me; I detest them [DOU].
Hina Gode Ea amane sia: sa “Na da dilia nodone sia: ne gadosu lolo nabe hou goga da Na hamedafa hanasa, amola hahawane hame amo hou Na higasa!
22 Even if you bring me offerings that will be completely burned [on the altar] and offerings of grain, I will no longer accept them. Even if you bring me offerings to renew/maintain fellowship with me, I will not pay any attention to them.
Dilia Wadela: i Hou Dabe Ima: ne Iasu amola Gala: ine Iasu amo gaguli masea, Na da amo hame lamu. Na dilia ohe sefena gaguli masea amo Na da hame lamu.
23 So, stop singing noisy/loud songs! I will not listen when you play harps.
Dilia gesami hea: lalebe go yolelesima! Na hihi nababe dilia dusu go dudu dabe go.
24 Instead, your continually acting justly/fairly and righteously should be [never stop, ] like [SIM] [the water in] a river that never stops flowing.
Be hou noga: i hamosa esaloma amola moloi esaloma! Moloidafa hou da hano bagade amo da habe hame dawa: , agoane ba: mu da defea.
25 You Israeli people [MTY], your [ancestors] wandered through the desert for 40 years; and during that time, they never brought any sacrifices and offerings to me!
Dilia Isala: ili fi dunu! Ode 40 amoga Na soge sedaga wadela: i hafoga: i soge amo ganodini dili Na da oule ahoasu, amo ganodini Na da dilima gobele salasu amola udigili iasu ima: ne logele hame sia: i.
26 But they carried the two idols that they had made— the idols of Succoth, the god [that they considered to be] their king, and Kaiwan, [the image of the] star [that they worshiped].
27 Therefore, now I will force you to go to [a country that is] far beyond Damascus! [That will surely happen because] I, the Commander of the armies of angels, have said it!”
Be dilia da Sagade ogogosu ‘gode’ (amo da dilia ‘hina gode’ dilia da giadofale sia: sa) amola Gaiwane (amo da dilia gasumuni ‘gode’ dilia da giadofale sia: sa) amo loboga hamoi liligi dilia da nodone sia: ne gadoiba: le, Na da dilia soge Dama: sagase moilai bai bagade baligi amoga afugili oule ahoasea, dilia da amo loboga hamoi liligi amola gaguli masunu,” Hina Gode (Ea Dio da Ouligisudafa Godedafa) Ea da amane sia: sa.
