Amos 8
1 Yahweh showed me [in a vision] a basket full of ripe fruit.
Daytoy ti impakita ni Yahweh nga Apo kaniak. Pagammoan, adda sangabasket a naluom a prutas!
2 He asked me, “Amos, what do you see?” I replied, “A basket of [very] ripe fruit.” He said, “That indicates that it almost the end for my Israeli people. I will not change my mind again about punishing them.
Kinunana, “Ania ti makitkitam Amos?” Kinunak, “Sangabasket a naluom a prutas.” Ket kinuna ni Yahweh kaniak, “Dimtengen ti panungpalan para kadagiti tattaok nga Israel; saanko idan nga ispalen.
3 [Soon, ] instead of singing in the temple, they will be wailing. There will be corpses everywhere [HYP]. So, remain silent (OR, Everyone will be silent). [These things will surely happen because] I, Yahweh, have said it!”
Agbalinto a dung-aw dagiti kanta iti templo. Iti dayta nga aldaw”—daytoy ti imbaga ni Yahweh nga Apo— “Adunto dagiti bangkay, ipuruakdanto ida iti tunggal disso a siuulimek!”
4 [It is as though] you people trample on needy people, and you destroy the poor people.
Denggenyo daytoy, dakayo a mangibadbaddek kadagiti agkasapulan ken mangpappapanaw kadagiti napanglaw iti daga.
5 You habitually say, “We wish that [RHQ] the new moon [festival] would end soon, in order that [restrictions on doing business during the festival will be ended] and we can sell grain. We wish that the Sabbath would end soon, in order that we will again be permitted to sell our wheat”— and [when you sell it], you charge a big price for it, and you cheat people by using scales that do not weigh correctly.
Kunada, “Kaano a malpas ti luttuad tapno makalakokami manen iti bukbukel? Ken kaano a malpas ti Aldaw ti Panaginana tapno makalakokami iti trigo? Kissayanmi ti timbangna ket ilakomi iti nangina, a kas iti panangsaormi babaen kadagiti nakusit a pagtimbangan,
6 You sell wheat that you have swept up from the floor, and as a result it is mixed with dirt. Those who are needy and poor [DOU] and who do not have money [to buy things], you cause them to become your slaves by buying them with the [small amount of] silver [with which you could buy] a pair of sandals!
tapno mailakomi ti awan serserbina a trigo ket magatangmi ti marigrigat babaen iti pirak, ken magatangmi ti agkasapulan babaen iti sangapares a sandalias.”
7 Yahweh has declared, “Although you are very proud of [being descendants] [MTY] of Jacob, I solemnly declare that I will not forget the [evil things] that you have done.
Nagsapata ni Yahweh babaen iti kinamanagpannakkel ni Jacob, “Awan duadua a saankonto a malipatan ti aniaman kadagiti aramidda.”
8 [Because of those evil things], your country will certainly [RHQ] soon be shaken, and all of you will mourn. [It will be as though] it will repeatedly rise and fall like [SIM] the Nile [River] that gets full of water [and overflows it banks] and then settles back into its riverbed.
Saan kadi nga aggingginedto ti daga gapu iti daytoy, ken agladingitto ti amin nga agnanaed iti daytoy? Ngumatonto amin daytoy a kas iti Karayan ti Nilo, agkintayeg ket lumnedto manen a kas iti karayan ti Egipto.
9 On the day [when I punish my people], I will cause the sun to set at noontime, and the [entire] earth will be dark in the daytime.
“Mapasamakto daytoy iti dayta nga aldaw”—daytoy ti imbaga ni Yahweh nga Apo—”a palinnekekto ti init iti tengnga ti aldaw ken pagbalinekto a nasipnget ti daga iti aldaw.
10 I will cause your [religious] celebrations to become times when you mourn; instead of singing, everyone will be weeping. Because of what I [will do], all of you will wear rough sackcloth and shave your heads [to show that you are sorrowing]. I will cause that time to be like when people mourn after an only son [has died]. All of you will be extremely sad all of that day.”
Pagbalinekto a panagdudung-aw dagiti piestayo ken sangsangit ti amin a kantayo. Pagkawesenkayonto amin iti nakersang a lupot ken makalbonto amin ti tunggal ulo. Pagbalinekto dayta nga aldaw a kas iti panangdung-aw para iti kakaisuna nga anak a lalaki ken maysa a nasaem nga aldaw agingga iti kamaudianan.
11 And Yahweh our God says this: “It will [soon] be the time when I will cause something to be very scarce [MET] throughout the country. But it will not be a time when there is no food or water; it will instead be a time when there will be no messages from me for anyone to hear.
Kitaem, umadanin dagiti aldaw”—daytoy ti imbaga ni Yahweh nga Apo—”inton iyegko ti panagbisin iti daga, saan a panagbisin iti tinapay, wenno pannakawaw iti danum, ngem pannakawaw iti panagdengngeg kadagiti sasao ni Yahweh.
12 People will stagger from the [Dead] Sea to the [Mediterranean] Sea, and wander from the north to the east, searching for a message from me, but there will not be any.
Agalla-alladanto manipud iti maysa a baybay a mapan iti sabali a baybay; agtaraydanto manipud iti amianan agingga iti daya a mangsapul ti sao ni Yahweh, ngem saandanto a masarakan daytoy.
13 At that time, even beautiful young women and strong young men will faint because of being very thirsty.
Iti dayta nga aldaw, matalimudawto dagiti napipintas a birhen ken dagiti babbaro gapu iti pannakawaw.
14 Those who (make oaths/solemnly promise to do something) using the names of their shameful gods of Samaria, and those who solemnly promise to do something [using the name of] the god of Dan, and those who solemnly promise to do something [using the name of] the god of Beersheba, will all die; and they will never live again.”
Dagiti agsapsapata iti basol ti Samaria a kunada, 'Iti nagan ti dios ti Dan' ken, 'Iti nagan ti dios ti Beerseba'—matuangdanto ket pulos a saandanto a makabangonen.”
