Amos 8
1 The Lord God schewide to me these thingis; and lo! an hook of applis.
Hiki ndicho ambacho bwana Yahwe amenionyesha. Tazama, kikapu cha matunda ya hari!
2 And the Lord seide, What seist thou, Amos? And Y seide, An hook of applis. And the Lord seide to me, The ende is comun on my puple Israel; Y schal no more putte to, that Y passe bi hym.
Akasema, “Unaona nini, Amosi?” Nikasema, “Kikapu cha matunda ya hari.” Kisha Yahwe akanambia, “Mwisho umefika kwa watu wangu Israeli; sintowaumiza tena.
3 And the herris, ether twistis, of the temple schulen greetli sowne in that dai, seith the Lord God. Many men schulen die, silence schal be cast forth in ech place.
Nyimbo za kwenye hekalu zitakuwa vilio. Katika siku hiyo-hivi ndivyo asemavyo Bwana Yahwe. Mizoga itakuwa mingi, katika kila sehemu wataitupa katika ukimya!”
4 Here ye this thing, whiche al to-breken a pore man, and maken nedi men of the lond for to faile;
Lisikilizeni hili, ninyi mkanyagao maskini na kumuondoa fukara wa nchi.
5 and ye seien, Whanne schal heruest passe, and we schulen sille marchaundises? and the sabat, and we schulen opene wheete? that we make lesse the mesure, and encreesse the cicle, and `vndur put gileful balauncis;
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 that we welde bi siluer nedi men and pore men for schoon, and we sille outcastyngis of wheete?
Hivi ndivyo ambavyo tunaweza kuuza ngano mbaya, kununua fukara kwa fedha, na masikini kwa jozi moja ya kubadhi.”
7 The Lord swoor ayens the pride of Jacob, Y schal not foryete til to the ende alle the werkis of hem.
Yahwe ameapa kwa fahari ya Yakobo, “Hakika sintoweza kusahau kazi zao hata moja.”
8 Whether on this thing the erthe schal not be mouyd togidere, and eche dwellere therof schal mourene? And it schal stie vp as al the flood, and schal be cast out, and schal flete awei as the stronde of Egipt.
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 it schal be, seith the Lord, in that dai the sunne schal go doun in myddai, and Y schal make the erthe for to be derk in the dai of liyt.
“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 Y schal conuerte youre feeste daies in to mourenyng, and alle youre songis in to weilyng; and Y schal brynge yn on ech bac of you a sak, and on ech heed of you ballidnesse; and Y schal put it as the mourenyng of oon bigetun sone, and the laste thingis therof as a bittir dai.
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 Lo! the daies comen, seith the Lord, and Y schal sende out hungur in to erthe; not hungur of breed, nether thirst of watir, but of herynge the word of God.
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 thei schulen be mouyd to gidere fro the see til to the see, and fro the north til to the eest thei schulen cumpasse, sekynge the word of the Lord, and thei schulen not fynde.
watatangatanga kutoka bahari hata bahari; watakimbia kutoka kaskazini kwenda magharibi kutafuta neno la Yahwe, lakini hawatalipata.
13 In that dai faire maidens schulen faile, and yonge men in thirst, whiche sweren in trespas of Samarie,
Katika siku hiyo wanawali wazuri na wavulana watazimia kutokana na njaa.
14 and seien, Dan, thi god lyueth, and the weie of Bersabee lyueth; and thei schulen falle, and thei schulen no more rise ayen.
Wale waapao kwa dhambi ya Samaria wataanguka na hawatainuka tena.”
