Amos 8
1 Nga liye sie pac aruruma sin LEUM GOD Fulat. Ke aruruma se inge nga liye sie fotoh in fokinsak.
This is what the Lord God showed me. I saw a basket of fruit.
2 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.
He asked me, “What do you see, Amos?” I said, “A basket of fruit.” Then the Lord told me, “This is the end of my people Israel! I won't ignore their sins anymore.
3 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.”
On that day the Temple songs will become sorrowful wailing. There will be dead bodies scattered everywhere. Silence!” declares the Lord.
4 Porongo ma inge, kowos su lolongya mwet enenu, ac srike in kunausla mwet sukasrup in facl se inge.
Listen to this, you who trample down the needy, and wipe out the poor of the land.
5 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.
You who ask, “When will the holy day be over so we can get back to selling grain? When will the Sabbath be over so we can open our storehouses, and cheat people with short measures and unfair scales?”
6 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.”
You buy the poor for silver, the needy for a pair of sandals, and you sell grain mixed with chaff.
7 LEUM GOD, su mwet Israel elos akfulatye, El orala sie wulela ku ac fahk, “Nga fah tiana mulkunla orekma koluk lalos.
The Lord God, of whom the descendants of Jacob are so proud, has sworn an oath: I will never forget the evil you have done.
8 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.
Shall not the land tremble because of this, and everyone who lives there mourn? The earth will rise up like the Nile river in flood, be tossed around, and then fall again.
9 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.
On that day, declares the Lord God, I will make the sun go down at noon, and darken the land during the daytime.
10 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.
I will turn your festivals into times of mourning, your happy songs into laments. I will make you wear sackcloth and shave your heads. I will make your mourning like that for an only son. At the end of it all it will be a bitter day.
11 “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.
The time is coming, declares the Lord, when I will send a famine on the land—not a famine of bread, or a lack of water, but a famine of hearing the words of the Lord.
12 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.
People will wander from sea to sea, from north to east, running to and fro searching for the word of the Lord, but they will not find it.
13 In len sac, finne mukul fusr ac mutan fusr su ku in mano, elos fah mulalla ke malu.
On that day, even the beautiful girls and healthy young men will collapse from thirst.
14 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.”
Those who swear by the disgraceful idols of Samaria, who take oaths like, “By the life of your god, Dan,” or “A pilgrimage to the god of Beersheba”—they will fall, and never rise again.
