Caamoos 7

1 Sayidka Rabbiga ahu wax buu i tusay, oo bal eeg, wuxuu sameeyey ayax markii fufkii dambe bilowday, oo bal eeg, waxay ahayd fufkii dambe markii boqorka cawskiisa la gooyay dabadeed.

Thus did the Lord Eternal show unto me: and, behold, he was forming locusts in the beginning of the sprouting up of the latter groweth; and, lo, it was the latter growth after the king's mowings [was over].

2 Oo markay dhammeeyeen cunitaankii cawskii dalka ayaan idhi, Sayidow, Rabbiyow, waan ku baryayaaye, na cafi, waayo, bal reer Yacquub sidee bay isu taagi doonaan? Waayo, iyagu waa yar yihiin.

And it came to pass, when they had made an end of eating up the herbs of the earth, that I said, O Lord Eternal, forgive, I beseech thee: how should Jacob be able to endure, since he is so small!

3 Markaasaa Rabbigu taas ka soo noqday, oo Rabbigu wuxuu yidhi, Taasu ahaan mayso.

The Lord bethought himself of this: It shall not be, said the Lord.

4 Sayidka Rabbiga ahu wax buu i tusay, oo bal eeg, Sayidka Rabbiga ahu wuxuu amray in dab lagu diriro, oo dabku wuxuu laastay moolkii weynaa, oo wuxuu cuni lahaa dhulka.

Thus did the Lord Eternal show unto me: and, behold, the Lord Eternal called forth the punishment by fire, and it devoured the great deep, and consumed the ploughed field.

5 Markaasaan idhi, Sayidow, Rabbiyow, waan ku baryayaaye jooji, waayo, bal reer Yacquub sidee bay isu taagi doonaan? Waayo, iyagu waa yar yihiin.

Then said I, O Lord Eternal, forbear, I beseech thee: how should Jacob be able to endure, since he is so small!

6 Markaasaa Rabbigu taas ka soo noqday, oo Sayidka Rabbiga ahu wuxuu yidhi, Taasuna ahaan mayso.

The Lord bethought himself of this: Also this shall not be, said the Lord Eternal.

7 Oo haddana wax buu i tusay, oo bal eeg, Sayidku wuxuu ag istaagay derbi xadhig miisaan leh lagu sameeyey, isagoo xadhig miisaan leh gacanta ku haysta.

Thus he showed unto me: and, behold, the Lord was standing upon a wall [made] by a plumbline, and in his hand was a plumbline.

8 Markaasaa Sayidku wuxuu igu yidhi, Caamoosow, maxaad aragtaa? Oo anna waxaan ku idhi, Waxaan arkaa xadhig miisaan leh. Markaasaa Sayidku wuxuu yidhi, Bal eeg, anigu xadhig miisaan leh baan dhigi doonaa dadkayga Israa'iil dhexdooda, oo mar dambena iyaga iska dhaafi maayo.

And the Lord said unto me, What dost thou see, 'Amos? And I said, A plumbline. Then said the Lord, Behold, I will set a plumbline in the midst of my people Israel; I will not farther indulge them any more.

9 Oo meelaha sare ee reer Isxaaq cidla way noqon doonaan, oo meelaha quduuska ah ee dalka Israa'iilna way baabbi'i doonaan, oo anna reerka Yaaraabcaam seef baan kula kici doonaa.

And the high places of Isaac shall be made desolate, and the sanctuaries of Israel shall be laid in ruins: and I will rise up against the house of Jerobo'am with the sword.

10 Markaasaa Amasyaah oo ahaa wadaadkii Beytel farriin u diray Yaaraabcaam oo ahaa boqorkii dalka Israa'iil, oo wuxuu ku yidhi, Caamoos shirqool buu kuugu dhigay dadka Israa'iil dhexdooda, oo dadka dhulkuna erayadiisa oo dhan ma qaadi karaan.

Then sent Amazyah, the priest of Beth-el, to Jerobo'am the king of Israel, saying, 'Amos hath conspired against thee in the midst of the house of Israel: the land is not able to bear all his words.

11 Waayo, Caamoos wuxuu leeyahay, Yaaraabcaam seef buu ku dhimanayaa, oo dadka Israa'iilna sida xaqiiqada ah maxaabiis ahaan waa looga kaxaysanayaa dalkooda.

For thus hath 'Amos said, By the sword shall Jerobo'am die, and Israel shall surely be led away into exile out of their own land.

12 Oo weliba Amasyaah wuxuu Caamoos ku yidhi, War wax arke yahow, tag, oo dalka Yahuudah u carar, oo halkaas wax ka cun, oo halkaas wax ku sii sheeg.

And Amazyah said unto 'Amos, Seer, go, flee thee away into the land of Judah, and eat there [thy] bread, and there prophesy;

13 Laakiinse mar dambe Beytel waxba ha ku sii sheegin, waayo, waa boqorka meeshiisii quduuska ahayd oo waa daar boqoreed.

But at Beth-el prophesy not farther any more; for it is the king's sanctuary, and it is a royal residence.

14 Markaasaa Caamoos jawaabay oo wuxuu Amasyaah ku yidhi, Anigu nebi ma aan ahayn, nebi wiilkiisna ma aan ahayn, laakiinse waxaan jiray adhijir iyo mid midhaha darayga urursada,

Then answered 'Amos, and said to Amazyah, I am no prophet, nor am I a prophet's son; but I am a herdman, and a gatherer of wild figs;

15 oo Rabbigu waa ii soo yeedhay anigoo adhi jiraya, markaasuu Rabbigu igu yidhi, Tag, oo dadkayga Israa'iil wax u sii sheeg.

But the Lord hath taken me away from behind the flocks, and the Lord said unto me, Go, prophesy unto my people Israel.

16 Haddaba bal maqal erayga Rabbiga. Adigu waxaad leedahay, Wax dadka Israa'iil ka gees ah ha sii sheegin, oo wax reer Isxaaq ka gees ahna ha ku hadlin.

And now hear thou the word of the Lord, Thou sayest, Prophesy not against Israel, and preach not against the house of Isaac.

17 Haddaba Rabbigu wuxuu leeyahay, Naagtaadu dhillo bay ku ahaan doontaa magaalada, oo wiilashaada iyo gabdhahaaguba seef bay ku dhiman doonaan, oo dhulkaaga xadhig baa lagu qaybsan doonaa, oo adna waxaad ku dhex dhiman doontaa dal nijaasaysan, oo dadka Israa'iilna sida xaqiiqada ah maxaabiis ahaan waa looga kaxaysan doonaa dalkooda.

Therefore thus hath said the Lord, Thy wife will play the harlot in the city, and thy sons and thy daughters shall fall by the sword, and thy land shall be divided out by the line; and thou shalt die in an unclean land; and Israel shall surely be led forth into exile out of their land.
