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 hath the Lord Jehovah shewed me, and lo, He is forming locusts at the beginning of the ascending of the latter growth, and lo, the latter growth [is] after the mowings of the king;

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 hath come to pass, when it hath finished to consume the herb of the land, that I say: 'Lord Jehovah, forgive, I pray Thee, How doth Jacob arise — for he [is] small?'

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

Jehovah hath repented of this, 'It shall not be,' said Jehovah.

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 hath the Lord Jehovah shewed me, and lo, the Lord Jehovah is calling to contend by fire, and it consumeth the great deep, yea, it hath consumed the portion, and I say:

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

'Lord Jehovah, cease, I pray Thee, How doth Jacob arise — for he [is] small?'

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

Jehovah hath repented of this, 'It also shall not be,' said the Lord Jehovah.

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 hath He shewed me, and lo, the Lord is standing by a wall [made according to] a plumb-line, and in His hand a plumb-line;

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 Jehovah saith unto me, 'What art thou seeing, Amos?' And I say, 'A plumb-line;' and the Lord saith: 'Lo, I am setting a plumb-line in the midst of My people Israel, I do not add any more to pass over to it.

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 desolated have been high places of Isaac, And sanctuaries of Israel are wasted, And I have risen against the house of Jeroboam with a 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.

And Amaziah priest of Beth-El sendeth unto Jeroboam 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 said Amos: By sword die doth Jeroboam, And Israel certainly removeth from off its 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 Amaziah saith unto Amos, 'Seer, go flee for thee unto the land of Judah, and eat there bread, and there thou dost prophesy;

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

and [at] Beth-El do not add to prophesy any more, for it [is] the king's sanctuary, and it [is] the royal house.'

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,

And Amos answereth and saith unto Amaziah, 'I [am] no prophet, nor a prophet's son [am] I, but a herdsman I [am], and a cultivator of sycamores,

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

and Jehovah taketh me from after the flock, and Jehovah saith 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 a word of Jehovah: thou art saying, Do not prophesy against Israel, nor drop [any thing] 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 said Jehovah: Thy wife in the city doth go a-whoring, And thy sons and thy daughters by sword do fall, And thy land by line is apportioned, And thou on an unclean land diest, And Israel certainly removeth from off its land.'
