Amos 7
1 Deɛ Otumfoɔ Awurade yi kyerɛɛ me nie: na ɔreboaboa ntutummɛ bebree ano, abɛto wɔn agu asase no so. Yei yɛ ɛberɛ a wɔatwa ɔhene kyɛfa afiri mfuo no so na mfudeɛ no renyini bio.
Thus he showed me [the] Lord Yahweh and there! [he was] forming locusts at [the] beginning of [the] coming up of the spring-crop and there! a spring-crop after [the] mowings of the king.
2 Ɛberɛ a mmoadabi no awe asase no so nnɔbaeɛ nyinaa no, me teaam sɛ, “Otumfoɔ Awurade, mesrɛ wo, fa wo nkurɔfoɔ bɔne kyɛ wɔn! Yakob rentumi nnyina, ɛfiri sɛ, ɔyɛ ɔman ketewa bi.”
And it will be if it had finished to eat [the] vegetation of the land and I said O Lord Yahweh forgive please who? will he stand Jacob for [is] small he.
3 Ɛno enti, Awurade bo dwooɛ. Na ɔgyaee nʼatirimpɔ no. Ɔkaa sɛ, “Merenyɛ.”
He relented Yahweh on this not it will be he said Yahweh.
4 Deɛ Otumfoɔ Awurade yi kyerɛɛ me nie: Otumfoɔ Awurade de ogya rebɛbu atɛn; ɛbɛwee ebunu kɛseɛ no na ɛsɛee asase no.
Thus he showed me [the] Lord Yahweh and there! [was] calling for conducting a case by fire [the] Lord Yahweh and it consumed [the] deep great and it consumed the portion of land.
5 Na me teaam sɛ, “Ao, Otumfoɔ Awurade, mesrɛ wo, gyae. Yakob rentumi nnyina, ɛfiri sɛ, ɔyɛ ɔman ketewa bi.”
And I said O Lord Yahweh cease please who? will he stand Jacob for [is] small he.
6 Ɛno enti, Awurade bo dwooɛ na ɔkaa sɛ, “Mɛgyae mʼatirimpɔ yi nso.”
He relented Yahweh on this also it not it will be he said [the] Lord Yahweh.
7 Yei ne deɛ ɔyi kyerɛɛ me: Na Awurade gyina ɔfasuo a wɔato no kyirebenn ho, a kyirebennyɛ ahoma kura no.
Thus he showed me and there! [the] Lord [was] standing on a wall of tin and [was] in hand his tin.
8 Na Awurade bisaa me sɛ, “Amos, ɛdeɛn na wohunu?” Mebuaa sɛ, “Kyirebennyɛ ahoma.” Na Awurade kaa sɛ, “Mede kyirebennyɛ ahoma yi reto me nkurɔfoɔ Israelfoɔ ho; meremfa wɔn ho nkyɛ wɔn bio.
And he said Yahweh to me what? [are] you seeing O Amos and I said tin and he said [the] Lord here I [am] about to put tin in [the] midst of people my Israel not I will repeat again to pass by it.
9 “Wɔbɛsɛe Isak sorɔnsorɔmmea na Israel kronkron tenabea nso wɔbɛbubu no; mede mʼakofena bɛsɔre atia Yeroboam efie.”
And they will be made desolate [the] high places of Isaac and [the] sanctuaries of Israel they will be waste and I will arise on [the] house of Jeroboam with the sword.
10 Amasia a ɔyɛ Bet-El ɔsɔfoɔ de nkra kɔmaa Israelhene Yeroboam sɛ, “Amos rebɔ pɔ atia wo wɔ Israel ha yi ara! Nsɛm a ɔreka no nnyɛ abodwosɛm.
And he sent Amaziah [the] priest of Beth-el to Jeroboam [the] king of Israel saying he has conspired on you Amos in [the] midst of [the] house of Israel not it is able the land to endure all words his.
11 Deɛ Amos reka nie: “‘Yeroboam bɛwu wɔ akofena ano, na ɛkwan biara so Israel bɛkɔ nnommumfa mu, wɔ akyirikyiri asase so.’”
For thus he has said Amos by the sword he will die Jeroboam and Israel certainly it will go into exile from on land its.
12 Na Amasia ka kyerɛɛ Amos sɛ, “Firi ha kɔ, wo ɔdehunufoɔ! Sane kɔ Yuda asase so na kɔtena hɔ hyɛ wo nkɔm.
And he said Amaziah to Amos O seer go flee yourself to [the] land of Judah and eat there bread and there you will prophesy.
13 Nhyɛ nkɔm bio wɔ Bet-El ha, ɛfiri sɛ ɛha yɛ ɔhene tenabea kronkron ne ahemman no asɔredan.”
And Beth-el not you must repeat again to prophesy for [is] a sanctuary of a king it and [is] a house of kingdom it.
14 Amos buaa Amasia sɛ, “Mennyɛ odiyifoɔ anaa odiyifoɔ bi ba, na na meyɛ odwanhwɛfoɔ, a na mehwɛ borɔdɔma nnua nso so.
And he answered Amos and he said to Amaziah not [am] a prophet I and not [am] a son of a prophet I for [was] a herdsman I and a fig picker of sycamores.
15 Nanso, Awurade frɛɛ me firii nnwan so hwɛ so, ka kyerɛɛ me sɛ, ‘Kɔhyɛ nkɔm kyerɛ me nkurɔfoɔ Israelfoɔ.’
And he took me Yahweh from after the flock and he said to me Yahweh go prophesy to people my Israel.
16 Na afei, tie Awurade asɛm. Woka sɛ, “‘Nhyɛ nkɔm ntia Israelfoɔ, na gyae asɛnka a wode tia Isak fiefoɔ.’
And therefore hear [the] word of Yahweh you [are] saying not you must prophesy on Israel and not you must prophesy on [the] house of Isaac.
17 “Enti asɛm a Awurade ka nie: “‘Wo yere bɛbɔ adwaman wɔ kuropɔn yi mu, wo mmammarima ne wo mmammaa bɛwuwu wɔ akofena ano. Wɔbɛsusu wʼasase na wakyekyɛ mu, na wʼankasa nso, wobɛwu wɔ abosonsom ɔman mu, na ɛkwan biara so Israel bɛkɔ nnommumfa mu, wɔ akyirikyiri asase so.’”
Therefore thus he says Yahweh wife your in the city she will be a prostitute and sons your and daughters your by the sword they will fall and land your with measuring-line it will be divided and you on ground unclean you will die and Israel certainly it will go into exile from on land its.
