Amos 7
1 Nea Otumfo Awurade yi kyerɛɛ me ni: na ɔreboaboa mmoadabi bebree ano. Eyi yɛ bere a wɔatwa ɔhene kyɛfa afi mfuw no so na akyiri nnɔbae no renyin no.
The Lord God schewide these thingis to me; and lo! a makere of locust in bigynnyng of buriownynge thingis of euentid reyn, and lo! euentid reyn after the clippere of the kyng.
2 Bere a mmoadabi no awe asase no so nnɔbae nyinaa no, meteɛɛ mu se “Otumfo Awurade, mesrɛ wo, fa wo nkurɔfo bɔne kyɛ wɔn! Yakob bɛyɛ dɛn agyina? Ɔyɛ ɔman ketewa bi.”
And it was don, whanne he hadde endid for to ete the erbe of erthe, Y seide, Lord God, Y biseche, be thou merciful; who schal reise Jacob, for he is litil?
3 Ɛno nti, Awurade bo dwoe. Na ogyaee nʼatirimpɔw no. Ɔkae se, “Merenyɛ.”
The Lord hadde merci on this thing; It schal not be, seide the Lord God.
4 Nea Otumfo Awurade yi kyerɛɛ me ni: Otumfo Awurade de ogya rebebu atɛn; ɛyow bun kɛse no, na ɛsɛee asase no.
The Lord God schewide to me these thingis; and lo! the Lord God schal clepe doom to fier, and it schal deuoure myche depthe of watir, and it eet togidere a part.
5 Na meteɛɛ mu se, “Otumfo Awurade, mesrɛ wo, gyae! Yakob rentumi nnyina! Ɔyɛ ɔman ketewa bi.”
And Y seide, Lord God, Y biseche, reste thou; who schal reise Jacob, for he is litil?
6 Ɛno nti, Awurade bo dwoe na ɔkae se, “Megyae mʼatirimpɔw yi nso.”
The Lord hadde merci on this thing; But and this thing schal not be, seide the Lord God.
7 Eyi ne nea oyi kyerɛɛ me: Na Awurade gyina ɔfasu a wɔato no kirebenn no ho, a okita kirebennyɛ susudua no.
The Lord God schewide to me these thingis; and lo! the Lord stondinge on a wal plastrid, and in the hond of hym was a trulle of a masoun.
8 Na Awurade bisaa me se, “Amos, dɛn na wuhu?” Mibuae se, “Kirebennyɛ susudua.” Na Awurade kae se, “Mede kirebennyɛ susudua yi reto me nkurɔfo Israelfo ho; meremfa wɔn ho nkyɛ wɔn bio.
And the Lord seide to me, What seest thou, Amos? And Y seide, A trulle of a masoun. And the Lord seide, Lo! I schal putte a trulle in the myddil of my puple Israel; Y schal no more putte to, for to ouerlede it;
9 “Wɔbɛsɛe Isak sorɔnsorɔmmea na Israel kronkron tenabea nso wobebubu no; mede mʼafoa bɛsɔre atia Yeroboamfi.”
and the hiy thingis of idol schulen be distried, and the halewyngis of Israel schulen be desolat; and Y schal rise on the hous of Jeroboam bi swerd.
10 Amasia a ɔyɛ Bet-El sɔfo de nkra kɔmaa Israelhene Yeroboam se, “Amos rebɔ pɔw atia wo wɔ Israel ha yi ara! Nsɛm a ɔreka no nyɛ abodwosɛm.
And Amasie, prest of Bethel, sente to Jeroboam, kyng of Israel, and seide, Amos rebellide ayens thee, in the myddil of the hous of Israel; the lond mai not susteyne alle hise wordis.
11 Nea Amos reka ni: “‘Yeroboam bewu wɔ afoa ano, na ɔkwan biara so Israel bɛkɔ nnommum mu, wɔ akyirikyiri asase so.’”
For Amos seith these thingis, Jeroboam schal die bi swerd, and Israel caitif schal passe fro his lond.
12 Na Amasia ka kyerɛɛ Amos se, “Fi ha kɔ, wo ɔdehufo! San kɔ Yuda asase so na kɔtena hɔ hyɛ wo nkɔm.
And Amasie seide to Amos, Thou that seest, go; fle thou in to the lond of Juda, and ete thou there thi breed; and there thou schalt profesie.
13 Nhyɛ nkɔm bio wɔ Bet-El ha, efisɛ ha yɛ ɔhene tenabea kronkron ne ahemman no asɔredan.”
And thou schalt no more put to, that thou profesie in Bethel, for it is the halewyng of the king, and is the hous of the rewme.
14 Amos buaa Amasia se, “Mennyɛ odiyifo anaa odiyifo bi ba, na na meyɛ oguanhwɛfo a na mehwɛ borɔdɔma nnua nso so.
And Amos answeride, and seide to Amasie, Y am not a profete, and Y am not sone of profete; but an herde of neet Y am, drawyng vp sicomoris.
15 Nanso Awurade frɛɛ me fii nguan sohwɛ so, ka kyerɛɛ me se, ‘Kɔhyɛ nkɔm kyerɛ me nkurɔfo Israelfo.’
And the Lord took me, whanne Y suede the floc; and the Lord seide to me, Go, and profesie thou to my puple Israel.
16 Na afei, tie Awurade asɛm. Woka se, “‘Nhyɛ nkɔm ntia Israelfo, na gyae asɛnka a wode tia Isakfifo no.’
And now here thou the word of the Lord. Thou seist, Thou schalt not profesie on Israel, and thou schal not droppe on the hous of idol.
17 “Enti asɛm a Awurade ka ni: “‘Wo yere bɛbɔ aguaman wɔ kuropɔn yi mu, wo mmabarima ne wo mmabea bewuwu wɔ afoa ano. Wobesusuw wʼasase na wakyekyɛ mu, na wʼankasa nso, wubewu wɔ abosonsomman mu, na ɔkwan biara so Israel bɛkɔ nnommum mu, wɔ akyirikyiri asase so.’”
For this thing the Lord seith these thingis, Thi wijf schal do fornicacioun in the citee, and thi sones and thi douytris schal falle bi swerd, and thi lond schal be motun with a litil coord; and thou schalt die in a pollutid lond, and Israel caitif schal passe fro his lond.
