Amoos 8
1 Waaqayyo Gooftaan waan kana natti argisiise: kun guuboo ija bilchaateen guutamee dha.
Thus hath the Lord God shewed vnto me, and behold, a basket of summer fruite.
2 Innis, “Amoos, ati maal arguutti jirta?” jedhee na gaafate. Ani immoo, “Guuboo ija bilchaateen guutame tokko” jedheen deebiseef. Ergasii Waaqayyo akkana naan jedhe; “Saba koo Israaʼelitti yeroon dhufeera; ani siʼachi isaan hin baraaru.”
And he said, Amos, what seest thou? And I sayd, A basket of sommer fruite. Then sayd the Lord vnto me, The ende is come vpon my people of Israel, I wil passe by them no more.
3 Waaqayyo Gooftaan akkana jedha; “Gaafas faarfannaan mana qulqullummaa keessaa booʼichatti geeddarama. Reeffi akka malee hedduun lafa hundatti gatama! Calʼisuunis ni taʼa!”
And the songs of the Temple shalbe howlings in that day, saith the Lord God: many dead bodies shalbe in euery place: they shall cast them forth with silence.
4 Isin warri rakkattoota dhidhiittanii hiyyeeyyii biyyattii balleessitan waan kana dhagaʼaa;
Heare this, O yee that swallowe vp the poore, that ye may make the needie of the lande to fayle,
5 isin akkana jettu; “Akka nu midhaan gurgurannuuf Baatiin Haaraan yoom goobana? Akka nu qamadii gabaa baafannuuf Sanbanni yoom darba?” Isin warri safartuu xinnootti fayyadamtanii gatii immoo ol kaaftan, madaalii sobaatiin nama gowwoomsitanii saamtu;
Saying, When will the newe moneth bee gone, that we may sell corne? and the Sabbath, that we may set forth wheate, and make the Ephah small, and the shekel great, and falsifie the weights by deceit?
6 hiyyeeyyii meetiidhaan, rakkataa immoo kophee miilla lamaaniitiin bitattanii girdiis qamadii wajjin gurgurattu.
That we may buy the poore for siluer, and the needie for shooes: yea, and sell the refuse of the wheate.
7 Waaqayyo akkana jedhee ulfina Yaaqoobiin kakateera; “Ani gonkumaa waan isaan hojjetan tokko illee hin irraanfadhu.
The Lord hath sworne by the excellencie of Iaakob, Surely I will neuer forget any of their workes.
8 “Sababii kanaaf lafti kirkirtee namoonni ishee keessa jiraatan hundi hin booʼanii? Guutummaan biyya sanaa akkuma laga Abbayyaa ol kaʼa; isheen akkuma laga Gibxi ol dadarbatamtee liqimfamti.”
Shall not the lande tremble for this, and euery one mourne, that dwelleth therein? and it shall rise vp wholy as a flood, and it shall bee cast out, and drowned as by the flood of Egypt.
9 Waaqayyo Gooftaan akkana jedha; “Bara sana, “Ani akka aduun saafaadhaan dhiitee laftis guyyuma adiidhaan dukkanooftu nan godha.
And in that day, saith the Lord God, I will euen cause the sunne to go downe at noone: and I will darken the earth in the cleare day.
10 Ani ayyaana amantii keessanii gaddatti, sirba keessan hundas booʼichatti nan geeddara. Ani akka isin hundi wayyaa gaddaa uffattanii mataa keessan haaddattan nan godha. Ani yeroo sana akkuma booʼicha ilma tokkichaa, dhuma isaas akka guyyaa hadhaaʼaa nan godha.”
And I will turne your feastes into mourning, and all your songs into lamentation: and I will bring sackcloth vpon all loynes, and baldnes vpon euery head: and I will make it as the mourning of an onely sonne, and the ende thereof as a bitter day.
11 Waaqayyo Gooftaan akkana jedha; “Yeroon ani biyyattiitti beela fidu tokko ni dhufa; innis beela dubbii Waaqayyoo dhagaʼuu ti malee beela nyaataa yookaan dheebuu bishaanii miti.
Beholde, the dayes come, sayeth the Lord God, that I will send a famine in the lande, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the word of the Lord.
12 Namoonni dubbii Waaqayyoo barbaacha galaanaa gara galaanaatti, kaabaa gara baʼa biiftuutti ni jooru; garuu hin argatan.
And they shall wander from sea to sea, and from the North euen vnto the East shall they run to and from to seeke the worde of the Lord, and shall not finde it.
13 “Bara sana “Shamarran babbareedoo fi dargaggoonni dhiiraa jajjaboon dheebotanii gaggabu.
In that day shall the faire virgines and the yong men perish for thirst.
14 Warri cubbuu Samaariyaatiin kakatan yookaan ‘Yaa Daan dhugaa waaqa kee jiraataa’ jedhan, yookaan warri ‘Dhugaa waaqa Bersheebaa’ jedhanii kakatan akka lammata hin kaaneef ni kufu.”
They that sweare by the sinne of Samaria, and that say, Thy God, O Dan, liueth, and the maner of Beer-sheba liueth, euen they shall fall, and neuer rise vp againe.
