Amos 7
1 Kastoy ti impakita ni Yahweh kaniak. Pagammoan, nangpataud isuna iti pinangen a dudon idi mangrugi nga agrusing dagiti mula, ket pagammoan, daytoy ti nabatbati a mula kalpasan a naapiten ti bingay ti ari.
These things the Lord God shewed to me: and behold the locust was formed in the beginning of the shooting up of the latter rain, and lo, it was the latter rain after the king’s mowing.
2 Kalpasan nga inibus dagiti dudon dagiti mula iti daga, kinunak, “Apo a Yahweh, pangaasim ta mamakawanka; kasano a makalasat ni Jacob? Ket nagbassit unay isuna.”
And it came to pass, that when they had made an end of eating the grass of the land, I said: O Lord God, be merciful, I beseech thee: who shall raise up Jacob, for he is very little?
3 Imbabawi ni Yahweh ti maipapan iti daytoy. “Saanto a mapasamak daytoy,” kinunana.
The Lord had pity upon this: It shall not be, said the Lord.
4 Kastoy ti impakita ni Yahweh nga Apo kaniak: Pagammoan, nangayab ti Apo a ni Yahweh iti apuy tapno mangukom. Minagaan daytoy ti nalawa ken nauneg a danum nga adda iti uneg ti daga ken manguram pay koma iti daga.
These things the Lord God shewed to me: and behold the Lord called for judgment unto fire, and it devoured the great deep, and ate up a part at the same time.
5 Ngem kinunak, “Apo a Yahweh, pangaasim ta saanmo nga aramiden dayta; kasano a makalasat ni Jacob? Ket nagbassit unay isuna.”
And I said: O Lord God, cease, I beseech thee, who shall raise up Jacob, for he is a little one?
6 Imbabawi ni Yahweh ti maipanggep iti daytoy, “Uray daytoy ket saanto a mapasamak,” kinuna ni Yahweh nga Apo.
The Lord had pity upon this. Yea this also shall not be, said the Lord God.
7 Kastoy ti impakitana kaniak: Pagammoan, nagtakder ti Apo iti abay ti pader, nga adda iggemna a tinnag.
These things the Lord shewed to me: and behold the Lord was standing upon a plastered wall, and in his hand a mason’s trowel.
8 Kinuna ni Yahweh kaniak, “Amos, ania ti makitkitam?” Kinunak, “Maysa a tinnag.” Ket kinuna ti Apo, “Agikabillakto iti tinnag kadagiti tattaok nga Israel. Saankonto ida nga ispalenen.
And the Lord said to me: What seest thou, Amos? And I said: A mason’s trowel. And the Lord said: Behold, I will lay down the trowel in the midst of my people Israel. I will plaster them over no more.
9 Madadaelto dagiti nangangato a disso ni Isaac, madadaelto dagiti nasantoan a disso ti Israel, ket tumakderakto nga addaan iti kampilan maibusor iti balay ni Jeroboam.
And the high places of the idol shall be thrown down, and the sanctuaries of Israel shall be laid waste: and I will rise up against the house of Jeroboam with the sword.
10 Kalpasana, nangipatulod ni Amasias a padi ti Betel iti maysa a mensahe kenni Jeroboam nga ari ti Israel: “Nagpanggep ni Amos maibusor kenka iti tengnga ti balay ti Israel. Saan a maibturan ti daga ti amin a saona.
And Amasias the priest of Bethel sent to Jeroboam king of Israel, saying: Amos hath rebelled against thee in the midst of the house of Israel: the land is not able to bear all his words.
11 Ta kastoy ti imbaga ni Amos: 'Matayto ni Jeroboam babaen iti kampilan ken awan duadua a maitalawto a kas balud ti Israel iti lugar nga adayo iti dagana.”
For thus saith Amos: Jeroboam shall die by the sword, and Israel shall be carried away captive out of their own land.
12 Kinuna ni Amasias kenni Amos, “Profeta, pumanawka, agsublika idiay daga ti Juda, ket manganka sadiay iti tinapay ken agipadtoka sadiay.
And Amasias said to Amos: Thou seer, go, flee away into the land of Juda: and eat bread there, and prophesy there.
13 Ngem saankan nga agipadto ditoy Betel gapu ta daytoy ket santuario ti ari ken balayna.”
But prophesy not again any more in Bethel: because it is the king’s sanctuary, and it is the house of the kingdom.
14 Ket kinuna ni Amos kenni Amasias, “Saanak a profeta wenno putot iti maysa a profeta. Agpaspastorak iti arban ken agay-aywanak kadagiti kayo a sikamoro.
And Amos answered and said to Amasias: I am not a prophet, nor am I the son of a prophet: but I am a herdsman plucking wild figs.
15 Ngem innalanak ni Yahweh iti panagpaspastorko iti arban ket kinunana kaniak, 'Mapanka agipadto kadagiti tattaok nga Israelita.'
And the Lord took me when I followed the flock, and the Lord said to me: Go, prophesy to my people Israel.
16 Ita denggem ti sao ni Yahweh. Ibagbagam, 'Saanka nga agipadto maibusor iti Israel, ken saanka nga agsao maibusor iti balay ni Isaac.'
And now hear thou the word of the Lord: Thou sayest, thou shalt not prophesy against Israel, and thou shalt not drop thy word upon the house of the idol.
17 Ngarud, kastoy ti kuna ni Yahweh: 'Agbalinto a balangkantis iti siudad ti asawam; matayto dagiti putotmo a babbai ken lallaki babaen iti kampilan; marukod ken mabingay-bingayto ti dagam; mataykanto iti narugit a daga, ken awan duadua a maitalawto a kas balud ti Israel manipud iti dagana.”
Therefore thus saith the Lord: Thy wife shall play the harlot in the city, and thy sons and thy daughters shall fall by the sword, and thy land shall be measured by a line: and thou shalt die in a polluted land, and Israel shall go into captivity out of their land.
