Amos 8

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

The Lord Jehovah showed me this vision: Behold a basket of ripe fruits!

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.

And he said, Amos, what seest thou? And I said, A basket of ripe fruits. Then said Jehovah to me, The destruction of my people Israel is ripe; I will not spare them any more.

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.”

The songs of the palace shall be shrieks in that day, Saith the Lord Jehovah. There shall be many dead bodies in every place, And they shall be cast forth in silence.

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

Hear this, ye that pant to oppress the needy, And to destroy 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.

That say, When will the new moon be gone, that we may sell corn, And the Sabbath, that we may set forth wheat, Making the ephah small, and the shekel heavy, And falsifying the balances for deceit,

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.”

That we may buy the poor for silver, And the needy for a pair of shoes, And sell the refuse of the wheat?

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

Jehovah hath sworn by the glory of Jacob: Surely I will never forget any of their deeds.

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 for this, And shall not all that dwell therein mourn? Shall not all of it rise in waves like a river, And be swept from its place, and overflowed, as by the river of Egypt!

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.

It shall come to pass in that day, saith the Lord Jehovah, That I will cause the sun to go down at noon, And will darken the land in the clear day.

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 feasts into mourning, And all your songs into lamentation; I will bring sackcloth upon all loins, And baldness upon all heads. I will fill the land with mourning, as for an only son, And its end shall be as a day of bitter woe.

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.

Behold, the time cometh, saith the Lord Jehovah, That I will send a famine upon the land; Not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, But of hearing the word of Jehovah.

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.

And men shall wander from sea to sea, And from the north even to the east shall they run to and fro, To seek an answer from Jehovah, and shall not find it.

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

In that day shall the fair virgins, and the young men, faint for 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.”

Who swear by the sin of Samaria, And say, By the life of thy God, O Dan! And, By the worship of Beersheba! They shall fall, and shall rise no more!
