Amos 8
1 Ga abin da Ubangiji Mai Iko Duka ya nuna mini. Ubangiji ya nuna mini kwandon nunannun’ya’yan itace.
Thus hath the Lord Jehovah shewed me, and, lo, a basket of summer-fruit.
2 Ya yi tambaya ya ce, “Me ka gani Amos?” Sai na amsa na ce, “Kwandon nunannun’ya’yan itace.” Sai Ubangiji ya ce mini, “Lokaci ya yi wa mutanena Isra’ila da ba zan ƙara barinsu ba.
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.
3 “A ranan nan,” in ji Ubangiji Mai Iko Duka, “Waƙoƙin a haikali za su koma makoki. Za a ga gawawwaki a ko’ina! Shiru!”
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!
4 Ku ji wannan, ku da kuke tattake masu bukata kuka kori matalautan ƙasar.
Hear this, ye who are swallowing up the needy, To cause to cease the poor of the land,
5 Kuna cewa, “Yaushe Sabon Wata zai wuce don mu sayar da hatsi, Asabbaci ta wuce, don mu sayar da alkama?” Mu yi awo da ma’aunin zalunci mu ƙara kuɗin kaya mu kuma cutar da mai saya,
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.
6 mu sayi matalauta da azurfa masu bukata kuma da takalmi, mu sayar da alkamar haɗe da yayi.
To purchase with money the poor, And the needy for a pair of sandals, Yea, the refuse of the pure corn we sell.
7 Ubangiji ya rantse da Girman Yaƙub, “Ba zan taɓa mantawa da duk wani abin da suka yi ba.
Sworn hath Jehovah by the excellency of Jacob: 'I forget not for ever any of their works.
8 “Shin, ƙasar ba za tă yi rawan jiki saboda wannan ba, kuma duk masu zama a cikinta ba za su yi makoki ba? Ƙasar duka za tă hau ta sauka kamar Nilu; za a dama ta sa’an nan ta nutse kamar kogin Masar.
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.
9 “A wannan rana,” in ji Ubangiji Mai Iko Duka, “Zan sa rana ta fāɗi da tsakar rana in kuma duhunta duniya da rana tsaka.
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,
10 Zan mai da bukukkuwanku na addini su zama makoki kuma dukan waƙoƙinku su zama kuka. Zan sa dukanku ku sa rigunan makoki za ku kuma aske kawunanku. Zan sa wannan lokaci yă zama kamar lokacin da ake makokin ɗan tilon da ake da shi kuma ƙarshenta kamar rana mai ɗaci.
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.
11 “Ranakun suna zuwa,” in ji Ubangiji Mai Iko Duka, “sa’ad da zan aika da yunwa cikin ƙasar, ba yunwar abinci ko ta ƙishirwa ba, sai dai yunwa ta jin maganar Ubangiji.
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.
12 Mutane za su yi ta tangaɗi daga teku zuwa teku suna yawo daga arewa zuwa kudu, suna neman maganar Ubangiji, amma ba za su samu ba.
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.
13 “A wannan rana “kyawawan’yan mata da kuma samari masu ji da ƙarfi za su suma don ƙishirwa.
In that day faint do the fair virgins, And the young men, with thirst.
14 Waɗanda suka yi rantsuwa da abin kunya na Samariya, ko kuma su ce, ‘Muddin allahnku yana a raye, ya Dan,’ ko kuwa, ‘Muddin allahn Beyersheba yana a raye,’ za su fāɗi, ba kuwa za su ƙara tashi ba.”
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!'
