Amos 7
1 Yahweh our God showed me [in a vision] that he was going to send locusts [to destroy our crops]. It was going to happen right after the king’s share of the hay had been harvested/cut and before the rest of the hay was ready to be harvested.
Na da esala ba: i amo ganodini Ouligisudafa Hina Gode ba: i. Isala: ili hina bagade ea gisi da noi dagoi amola gisi da bu heda: lebe amo esoga Hina Gode da danuba: wa: i bagadedafa hamonanebe ba: i.
2 [And in the vision I saw] those locusts come, and they ate everything that was green. Then I cried out, “Yahweh our Lord, please forgive us! We Israeli people are very helpless; (how will we be able to survive [RHQ]?/we will not be able to survive!)”
Na esala ba: i amo ganodini, na da danuba: mola: ya: i liligi huluane soge ganodini amo na dagoi ba: i. Amalalu, na da amane sia: i, “Ouligisudafa Hina Gode! Dia fi ilia hou gogolema: ne olofoma! Ilia da habodane esaloma: bela: ! Ilia da fonobahadi amola gasa hame!”
3 So Yahweh changed his mind and said, “That will not happen.”
Hina Gode da Ea asigi dawa: su afadenene, amane sia: i, “Dia esala ba: i amo da dafawane hame ba: mu.”
4 Then this is what Yahweh our Lord showed me [in another vision]: He was calling to a fire to [come and] punish [his people]. [In the vision I saw that] the fire dried up the ocean and also burned [everything on] the land.
Ouligisudafa Hina Gode da nama esala ba: su eno olelei. E da Ea fi dunu se dabe iasu ima: ne, lalu didilalu. Lalu da hano wayabo bagade osobo hagudu diala amo nei dagoi. Amalalu, lalu da osobo bagade amola amo nemusa: muni nenanu.
5 Then I cried out again, “Yahweh our Lord, I plead with you, please stop this! We Israeli people are very helpless; how will we be able to survive [RHQ]?”
Amalalu, na amane sia: i, “Hame mabu! Ouligisudafa Hina Gode mae! Dia fi da habodane esaloma: bela: ? Ilia da fonobahadi amola gasa hame!”
6 So Yahweh changed his mind again, and said, “That also will not happen.”
Hina Gode da bu Ea asigi dawa: su afadenene, amane sia: i, “Amo amola da hame ba: mu.”
7 Then Yahweh showed me [another vision]. I saw him standing beside a wall. [It was very straight because] it had been built using a (plumb line/cord with a weight on one end to determine if walls are vertically straight). Yahweh had the plumb line in his hand.
Ouligisudafa Hina Gode da nama esala ba: su eno olelei. Amo ganodini na da Hina Gode dobea gagui (amo da ogoma efe ilegesu amoga defei) amo dafulili lelebe ba: i. Ea lobo ganodini, ogoma efe ilegesu dialebe ba: i.
8 Yahweh asked me, “Amos, what do you see?” I replied, “A plumb line.” Then Yahweh said, “Look, I am going to use a plumb line among my Israeli people, [to show that they are like a wall that is not straight]. I will not change my mind again about punishing them.
E da nama amane adole ba: i, “A: imose! Di da adi ba: sala: ?” Na da bu adole i, “Na da ogoma efe ilegesu ba: sa!” Amalalu, E da nama amane sia: i, “Amoga Na da dima olelesa. Na fi dunu da dobea noga: le hame ilegele gagui defele esala. Na da ilima se dabe iasu ima: ne Na asigi dawa: su bu hame afadenemu.
9 The places on hills where [the descendants of] [MTY] Isaac worship [idols] will be destroyed. And the other important shrines in Israel will also be destroyed. And I will enable [your enemies] to attack your people with swords and they will get rid of [King] Jeroboam and all his descendants.”
Aisage egaga fi ilia nodone sia: ne gadosu sogebi huluane da wadela: lesi dagoi ba: mu. Isala: ili soge hadigi sogebi huluane da wadela: lesi dagoi ba: mu. Na da hina bagade Yelouboua: me ea fi hina bagade hou huluane wadela: lesi dagomu.”
10 Then Amaziah, the priest at Bethel, sent [a message] to Jeroboam, the King of Israel. In the message he said, “Amos is plotting against you among the Israeli people [MTY]. [I am worried that] the people of this country will not be able to refute his words.
A: masaia, Bedele gobele salasu dunu, da Yelouboua: me (Isala: ili hina bagade) ema sia: ne iasi amane, “A: imose da di wadela: ma: ne dunu huluane ilima hohonone sia: daha. Ea sia: da ninia soge fi huluane wadela: lesimu.
11 This is what he is saying: ‘Jeroboam will soon be killed by [someone using] a sword, and the people of Israel will be (exiled/forced to leave their land and go to another country).’”
E da amane sia: daha, ‘Yelouboua: me da gegesu ganodini bogomu. Isala: ili fi dunu huluane da ilia sogega fadegale, ga soge amo ganodini mugululi asi dagoi ba: mu.’”
12 Then Amaziah [came to me and] said, “You prophet, get out of here! Go back to the country of Judah! Earn money to [buy food to be able] to live there, and do your prophesying there!
Amalalu, A:masaia da A: imosema amane sia: i, “Balofede dunu! Ouiya: ma! Eno hame! Di Yuda sogega buhagili, amogai dia sia: olelema. Ilia fawane da dia sia: beba: le, bidi imunu da defea.
13 Do not prophesy any more here at Bethel, because this is where the national temple, the king’s temple, is!”
Be Bedele moilai guiguda: ba: la: lusu sia: bu mae sia: ma. Bai amo sogebi da Isala: ili hina bagade ea nodone sia: ne gadosu sogebi amola Isala: ili fi ilia Debolo sogebi.”
14 I replied to Amaziah, “I was [previously] not a prophet, and my father was not a prophet; I was a shepherd. I also took care of sycamore-fig trees.
A: imose da bu adole i, “Na da bidi lama: ne ba: la: lusu hou hame hamosa. Na da sibi ouligisu dunu amola figi ifa ouligisu dunu.
15 But Yahweh took me away from taking care of my sheep, and he said to me, ‘Go to Israel and prophesy to my people there!’
Be Hina Gode da na sibi ouligisu hawa: hamosu fisili, ea fi Isala: ili dunuma fa: no misunu hou olelema: ne sia: i.
16 You said to me, ‘Do not prophecy saying terrible things will happen to [the people of] Israel; stop saying those things!’
Amaiba: le, wali Hina Gode Ea sia: nabima! Di da nama na da ba: la: lusu fisili, Isala: ili dunuma dadousa gagabosu sia: bu mae hamoma: ne sia: sa.
17 Therefore listen to what Yahweh says about you: ‘Your wife will become a prostitute in this city, and your sons and daughters will be killed by [your enemies’] swords. Others will measure your land and divide it up [among themselves]; and you yourself will die in a foreign country. And the people of Israel will certainly be forced to leave their country and go (into exile/to live in another country).’”
Amaiba: le, A:masaia, Hina Gode da dima amane sia: sa, ‘Dia uda da di fisili, udigili moilai bai bagade ganodini ea da: i dunuma udigili bidi lamu. Amola dia mano huluane gegesu ganodini medole legei dagoi ba: mu. Dia soge da fifili, eno dunuma i dagoi ba: mu. Amola disu da Gode Ea hou hame lalegagui ga soge amo ganodini bogomu. Amola Isala: ili dunu da dafawane ilia sogega fadegale, eno sogega mugululi asi dagoi ba: mu.”
