Amos 8

1 Thus hath the Lord Jehovah shewed me, and, lo, a basket of summer-fruit.

Nga liye sie pac aruruma sin LEUM GOD Fulat. Ke aruruma se inge nga liye sie fotoh in fokinsak.

2 And He saith, 'What art thou seeing, Amos?' and I say, 'A basket of summer-fruit.' And Jehovah saith unto me: 'The end hath come unto My people Israel, I do not add any more to pass over to it.

Na LEUM GOD El siyuk, “Amos, mea kom liye?” Ac nga topuk, “Fotoh in fokinsak se.” Na LEUM GOD El fahk nu sik, “Pacl safla lun mwet luk, mwet Israel, summa. Nga fah tia sifil ekulla nunak luk in kalyaelos.

3 And howled have songstresses of a palace in that day, An affirmation of the Lord Jehovah, Many [are] the carcases, into any place throw — hush!

In len sac, on engan ke inkul sin tokosra fah ekla nu ke pusren tung. Monin mwet misa ac fah oalik acn uh. Ke pacl se sisila elos, ac fah wangin pusra lohngyuk.”

4 Hear this, ye who are swallowing up the needy, To cause to cease the poor of the land,

Porongo ma inge, kowos su lolongya mwet enenu, ac srike in kunausla mwet sukasrup in facl se inge.

5 Saying, When doth the new moon pass, And we sell ground corn? And the sabbath, and we open out pure corn? To make little the ephah, And to make great the shekel, And to use perversely balances of deceit.

Kowos sifacna nunku ouinge: “Pahtla kufwen Malem Sasu in tari, tuh kut in kukakin wheat lasr uh. Ac safla ngac len Sabbath, kut in ku in sifil mutawauk kuka? Na kut ac kulak molo uh in yohk, ac orekmakin mwe srikasrak sutuu, ac urokla mwe paun in kiapu mwet moul yorosr.

6 To purchase with money the poor, And the needy for a pair of sandals, Yea, the refuse of the pure corn we sell.

Kut ku in kukakin wheat kolukla ke mol yohk. Kut fah molela kutu mwet sukasrup su tia ku in akfalye soemoul lalos — finne molin sori se elos tia ku in molela — tuh elos in mwet kohs lasr.”

7 Sworn hath Jehovah by the excellency of Jacob: 'I forget not for ever any of their works.

LEUM GOD, su mwet Israel elos akfulatye, El orala sie wulela ku ac fahk, “Nga fah tiana mulkunla orekma koluk lalos.

8 For this doth not the land tremble, And mourned hath every dweller in it? And come up as a flood hath all of it. And it hath been cast out, and hath sunk, Like the flood of Egypt.

Ouinge faclu fah kusrusryak, ac mwet nukewa ac fah tuninfongla. Facl se inge nufon ac fah usrusryak — ac fah mutyak ac putati oana Infacl Nile.

9 And it hath come to pass in that day, An affirmation of the Lord Jehovah, I have caused the sun to go in at noon, And caused darkness on the land in a day of light,

Pacl se ac fah tuku ke nga fah oru faht uh in tili ke infulwen len, ac faclu ac fah lohsrla ke srakna len. Nga, LEUM GOD Fulat, pa fahk ouinge.

10 And have turned your festivals to mourning, And all your songs to lamentation, And caused sackcloth to come up on all loins, And on every head — baldness, And made it as a mourning [of] an only one, And its latter end as a day of bitterness.

Nga fah ekulla len in kufwa lowos nu ke len in asor, ac on engan lowos nu ke pusren tung. Nga fah oru kowos in mangsrasraela insifowos ac nukum nuknuk yohk eoa, ac kowos fah oana papa ac nina su mwemelil ke wen sefanna natultal misa. Ma nukewa ma sikyak ke len sac mwe asor mukefanna.

11 Lo, days are coming, An affirmation of the Lord Jehovah, And I have sent a famine into the land, Not a famine of bread, nor a thirst of water But of hearing the words of Jehovah.

“Pacl se ac fah tuku ke nga fah supwama sracl nu fin acn uh. Mwet uh ac fah masrinsral, tuh tia nu ke mwe mongo. Elos ac fah malu, tuh tia nu ke mwe nim. Elos ac masrinsral ac malu nu ke kas in luti sin LEUM GOD. Nga, LEUM GOD, pa fahk ouinge.

12 And they have wandered from sea unto sea, And from north even unto east, They go to and fro to seek the word of Jehovah, And they do not find.

Mwet uh ac fah foroht forma liki Meoa Misa nu ke Meoa Mediterranean, ac ke tafunyen epang nu ke layen kutulap. Elos ac fah suk kas in luti sin LEUM GOD yen nukewa, tuh elos ac fah tiana konauk.

13 In that day faint do the fair virgins, And the young men, with thirst.

In len sac, finne mukul fusr ac mutan fusr su ku in mano, elos fah mulalla ke malu.

14 Those swearing by the guilt of Samaria, And have said, Live doth thy god, O Dan, And, Live doth the way of Beer-Sheba, And they have fallen — and rise not again!'

Elos su fulahk ke ma sruloala lun Samaria ac fahk, ‘Ke inen god lun Dan,’ ku ‘Ke inen god lun Beersheba,’ elos ac fah ikori ac tia sifil tukakek.”
