Amos 7

1 These things the Lord God shewed to me: and behold the locust was formed in the beginning of the shooting up of the latter rain, and lo, it was the latter rain after the king’s mowing.

Èyí ni ohun tí Olúwa Olódùmarè fihàn mí: Ó pèsè ọwọ́ eṣú lẹ́yìn ìgbà tí a kórè ìpín ọba, ní ìgbà ti èso ẹ̀ẹ̀kejì ń jáde bọ̀.

2 And it came to pass, that when they had made an end of eating the grass of the land, I said: O Lord God, be merciful, I beseech thee: who shall raise up Jacob, for he is very little?

Nígbà tí wọ́n jẹ koríko ilẹ̀ náà mọ́ féfé nígbà náà ni mo gbé ohùn mi sókè pé, “Olúwa Olódùmarè, mo bẹ̀ ọ́, dáríjì! Báwo ni Jakọbu yóò ha ṣe lè dìde? Òun kéré jọjọ!”

3 The Lord had pity upon this: It shall not be, said the Lord.

Olúwa ronúpìwàdà nípa èyí. “Èyí kò ni ṣẹlẹ̀,” ni Olúwa wí.

4 These things the Lord God shewed to me: and behold the Lord called for judgment unto fire, and it devoured the great deep, and ate up a part at the same time.

Èyí ni ohun ti Olúwa Olódùmarè fihàn mí: Olúwa Olódùmarè ń pè fún ìdájọ́ pẹ̀lú iná; ó jó ọ̀gbun ńlá rún, ó sì jẹ ilẹ̀ run.

5 And I said: O Lord God, cease, I beseech thee, who shall raise up Jacob, for he is a little one?

Nígbà náà ni mo gbé ohùn mi sókè pé, “Olúwa Olódùmarè jọ̀wọ́ má ṣe ṣe é! Báwo ni Jakọbu yóò ha ṣe lè dìde? Òun kéré jọjọ!”

6 The Lord had pity upon this. Yea this also shall not be, said the Lord God.

Olúwa ronúpìwàdà nípa èyí. “Èyí náà kò ní ṣẹlẹ̀,” ni Olúwa Olódùmarè wí.

7 These things the Lord shewed to me: and behold the Lord was standing upon a plastered wall, and in his hand a mason’s trowel.

Èyí ni ohun tí ó fihàn mí: Olúwa dúró ní ẹ̀gbẹ́ odi ti a fi okùn ìwọ̀n mọ́, ti òun ti okùn ìwọ̀n tí ó rún ni ọwọ́ rẹ̀.

8 And the Lord said to me: What seest thou, Amos? And I said: A mason’s trowel. And the Lord said: Behold, I will lay down the trowel in the midst of my people Israel. I will plaster them over no more.

Olúwa sì bi mi pé, “Amosi, kí ni ìwọ rí?” Mo dáhùn pé, “Okùn ìwọ̀n.” Nígbà náà ni Olúwa wí pé, “Wò ó, Èmí ń gbé okùn ìwọ̀n kalẹ̀ láàrín àwọn Israẹli ènìyàn mi; Èmi kì yóò sì tún kọjá lọ́dọ̀ wọn mọ́.

9 And the high places of the idol shall be thrown down, and the sanctuaries of Israel shall be laid waste: and I will rise up against the house of Jeroboam with the sword.

“Ibi gíga Isaaki wọ̀n-ọn-nì yóò sì di ahoro àti ibi mímọ Israẹli wọ̀n-ọn-nì yóò di ahoro. Èmi yóò sì fi idà dìde sí ilé Jeroboamu.”

10 And Amasias the priest of Bethel sent to Jeroboam king of Israel, saying: Amos hath rebelled against thee in the midst of the house of Israel: the land is not able to bear all his words.

Nígbà náà Amasiah àlùfáà Beteli ránṣẹ́ sí Jeroboamu ọba Israẹli, wí pé: “Amosi ti dìde láti dìtẹ̀ sí ọ ni àárín gbùngbùn Israẹli. Ilẹ̀ kò sì le gba gbogbo ọ̀rọ̀ rẹ̀.

11 For thus saith Amos: Jeroboam shall die by the sword, and Israel shall be carried away captive out of their own land.

Nítorí èyí ni ohun ti Amosi ń sọ: “‘Jeroboamu yóò ti ipa idà kú, lóòtítọ́ Israẹli yóò lọ sí ìgbèkùn, jìnnà kúrò ní ilẹ̀ ìní wọn.’”

12 And Amasias said to Amos: Thou seer, go, flee away into the land of Juda: and eat bread there, and prophesy there.

Nígbà náà ni Amasiah sọ fún Amosi pé, “Lọ jáde, ìwọ aríran! Padà sí ilẹ̀ àwọn Juda. Kí o máa jẹun rẹ níbẹ̀, kí o sì máa sọtẹ́lẹ̀ rẹ̀ níbẹ̀.

13 But prophesy not again any more in Bethel: because it is the king’s sanctuary, and it is the house of the kingdom.

Má ṣe sọtẹ́lẹ̀ mọ ni Beteli nítorí ibi mímọ́ ọba ni àti ibi tẹmpili ìjọba rẹ̀.”

14 And Amos answered and said to Amasias: I am not a prophet, nor am I the son of a prophet: but I am a herdsman plucking wild figs.

Amosi dá Amasiah lóhùn pé, “Èmi kì í ṣe wòlíì tàbí àwọn ọmọ wòlíì, ṣùgbọ́n mo jẹ́ olùṣọ́-àgùntàn, mo sì ń ṣe ìtọ́jú igi ọ̀pọ̀tọ́ sikamore.

15 And the Lord took me when I followed the flock, and the Lord said to me: Go, prophesy to my people Israel.

Ṣùgbọ́n Olúwa mu mi bí mo ti ń tọ́ agbo ẹran lẹ́yìn, ó sì wí fun mi pé, ‘Lọ sọtẹ́lẹ̀ fun àwọn Israẹli ènìyàn mi.’

16 And now hear thou the word of the Lord: Thou sayest, thou shalt not prophesy against Israel, and thou shalt not drop thy word upon the house of the idol.

Nítorí náà nísinsin yìí, gbọ́ ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa. Ìwọ wí pé, “‘Má ṣe sọ àsọtẹ́lẹ̀ sí Israẹli, má sì ṣe wàásù sí ilé Isaaki.’

17 Therefore thus saith the Lord: Thy wife shall play the harlot in the city, and thy sons and thy daughters shall fall by the sword, and thy land shall be measured by a line: and thou shalt die in a polluted land, and Israel shall go into captivity out of their land.

“Nítorí náà, èyí ni ohun ti Olúwa wí: “‘Ìyàwó rẹ yóò di panṣágà ni ìlú, àwọn ọmọ ọkùnrin àti obìnrin rẹ yóò ti ipa idà ṣubú. A ó fi okùn wọn ilẹ̀ rẹ, a ó sì pín in àti ìwọ pẹ̀lú yóò kú ni ilẹ̀ àìmọ́. Israẹli yóò sì lọ sí ìgbèkùn, kúrò ní ilẹ̀ ìní wọn.’”
