< Amos 7 >
1 Ga abin da Ubangiji Mai Iko Duka ya nuna mini. Ubangiji yana shirya cincirindon fāri bayan da aka ƙarasa yankan rabon hatsin da yake na sarki, hatsi na biyu kuma yake tohuwa.
This is what the Lord God let me see: and I saw that, when the growth of the late grass was starting, he made locusts; it was the late growth after the king's cutting was done.
2 Sa’ad da suka cinye kome, sai na yi kira, na ce, “Ubangiji Mai Iko Duka, ka gafarta! Ta yaya Yaƙub zai tsira? Ga shi ɗan ƙarami ne!”
And it came about that after they had taken all the grass of the land, I said, O Lord God, have mercy: how will Jacob be able to keep his place? for he is small.
3 Saboda haka sai Ubangiji ya dakatar da nufinsa. “Wannan ba zai faru ba,” in ji Ubangiji.
The Lord, changing his purpose about this, said, It will not be.
4 Ga abin da Ubangiji Mai Iko Duka ya nuna mini. Ubangiji Mai Iko Duka yana shirin hukunta da wuta; wutar ta ƙone teku ta kuma ƙone ƙasa.
This is what the Lord let me see: and I saw that the Lord God sent for a great fire to be the instrument of his punishment; and, after burning up the great deep, it was about to put an end to the Lord's heritage.
5 Sai na yi kira, na ce, “Ubangiji Mai Iko Duka, ina roƙonka ka dakata! Ta yaya Yaƙub zai tsira? Ga shi ɗan ƙarami ne!”
Then said I, O Lord God, let there be an end: how will Jacob be able to keep his place? for he is small.
6 Saboda haka sai Ubangiji ya dakatar da nufinsa. “Wannan ma ba zai faru ba,” in ji Ubangiji Mai Iko Duka.
The Lord, changing his purpose about this, said, And this will not be.
7 Ga abin da ya nuna mini. Ubangiji yana tsaye kusa da bangon da aka gina, bisa ga awon igiyar gwada gini, da kuma magwaji a hannunsa.
This is what he let me see: and I saw the Lord stationed by a wall made straight by a weighted line, and he had a weighted line in his hand.
8 Sai Ubangiji ya tambaye ni, “Me kake gani, Amos?” Sai na amsa, “Igiyar gwada gini.” Sa’an nan Ubangiji ya ce, “Duba, zan sa igiyan nan a cikin mutanena Isra’ila; ba zan ƙara barinsu ba.
And the Lord said to me, Amos, what do you see? And I said, A weighted line. Then the Lord said, See, I will let down a weighted line among my people Israel; never again will my eyes be shut to their sin:
9 “Za a hallakar da wuraren sujada na Ishaku kuma tsarkakan wurare na Isra’ila za su zama kango; da takobina zan tayar wa gidan Yerobowam.”
And the high places of Isaac will be unpeopled, and the holy places of Israel will be made waste; and I will come up against the family of Jeroboam with the sword.
10 Sai Amaziya firist na Betel ya aika da saƙo zuwa wurin Yerobowam sarkin Isra’ila. “Amos yana shirya maka maƙarƙashiya a tsakiyar Isra’ila. Ƙasar ba za tă iya ɗauka abubuwan da yake faɗi ba.
Then Amaziah, the priest of Beth-el, sent to Jeroboam, king of Israel, saying, Amos has made designs against you among the people of Israel: the land is troubled by his words.
11 Gama ga abin da Amos yake cewa, “‘Yerobowam zai mutu ta wurin takobi, kuma tabbatacce Isra’ila za su tafi zaman bauta, nesa da ainihin ƙasarsu.’”
For Amos has said, Jeroboam will be put to the sword, and Israel will certainly be taken away as a prisoner out of his land.
12 Sai Amaziya ya ce wa Amos, “Tafi daga nan, mai duba kawai! Koma ƙasar Yahuda. Ka nemi abin zaman garinka a can ka kuma yi annabcinka a can.
And Amaziah said to Amos, O seer, go in flight into the land of Judah, and there get your living by working as a prophet:
13 Kada ka ƙara yin annabci a Betel, gama nan wuri mai tsarki ne na sarki da kuma haikalin ƙasar.”
But be a prophet no longer at Beth-el: for it is the holy place of the king, and the king's house.
14 Amos ya amsa wa Amaziya, “Ni ba annabi ba ne ko ɗan annabi, amma ni makiyayi ne, kuma ina lura da itatuwan al’ul.
Then Amos in answer said to Amaziah, I am no prophet, or one of the sons of the prophets; I am a herdman and one who takes care of sycamore-trees:
15 Amma Ubangiji ya ɗauke ni daga kiwon dabbobi ya ce mini, ‘Je ka, ka yi wa mutanena Isra’ila annabci.’
And the Lord took me from the flock, and the Lord said to me, Go, be a prophet to my people Israel.
16 Yanzu fa, sai ka ji maganar Ubangiji. Ka ce, “‘Kada in yi annabci a kan Isra’ila, kuma in daina yin wa’azi a kan gidan Ishaku.’
Now then, give ear to the word of the Lord: You say, Be no prophet to Israel, and say not a word against the people of Isaac.
17 “Saboda haka ga abin da Ubangiji ya ce, “‘Matarka za tă zama karuwa a cikin birni, kuma da takobi za a kashe’ya’yanka maza da mata. Za a auna ƙasarka a kuma raba ta, kai kuma za ka mutu a ƙasar arna. Ba shakka Isra’ila za su tafi zaman bauta, nesa da ainihin ƙasarsu.’”
So this is what the Lord has said: Your wife will be a loose woman in the town, and your sons and your daughters will be put to the sword, and your land will be cut up into parts by a line; and you yourself will come to your end in an unclean land, and Israel will certainly be taken away a prisoner out of his land.
