Amos 7
1 Yahweh our God showed me [in a vision] that he was going to send locusts [to destroy our crops]. It was going to happen right after the king’s share of the hay had been harvested/cut and before the rest of the hay was ready to be harvested.
Kastoy ti impakita ni Yahweh kaniak. Pagammoan, nangpataud isuna iti pinangen a dudon idi mangrugi nga agrusing dagiti mula, ket pagammoan, daytoy ti nabatbati a mula kalpasan a naapiten ti bingay ti ari.
2 [And in the vision I saw] those locusts come, and they ate everything that was green. Then I cried out, “Yahweh our Lord, please forgive us! We Israeli people are very helpless; (how will we be able to survive [RHQ]?/we will not be able to survive!)”
Kalpasan nga inibus dagiti dudon dagiti mula iti daga, kinunak, “Apo a Yahweh, pangaasim ta mamakawanka; kasano a makalasat ni Jacob? Ket nagbassit unay isuna.”
3 So Yahweh changed his mind and said, “That will not happen.”
Imbabawi ni Yahweh ti maipapan iti daytoy. “Saanto a mapasamak daytoy,” kinunana.
4 Then this is what Yahweh our Lord showed me [in another vision]: He was calling to a fire to [come and] punish [his people]. [In the vision I saw that] the fire dried up the ocean and also burned [everything on] the land.
Kastoy ti impakita ni Yahweh nga Apo kaniak: Pagammoan, nangayab ti Apo a ni Yahweh iti apuy tapno mangukom. Minagaan daytoy ti nalawa ken nauneg a danum nga adda iti uneg ti daga ken manguram pay koma iti daga.
5 Then I cried out again, “Yahweh our Lord, I plead with you, please stop this! We Israeli people are very helpless; how will we be able to survive [RHQ]?”
Ngem kinunak, “Apo a Yahweh, pangaasim ta saanmo nga aramiden dayta; kasano a makalasat ni Jacob? Ket nagbassit unay isuna.”
6 So Yahweh changed his mind again, and said, “That also will not happen.”
Imbabawi ni Yahweh ti maipanggep iti daytoy, “Uray daytoy ket saanto a mapasamak,” kinuna ni Yahweh nga Apo.
7 Then Yahweh showed me [another vision]. I saw him standing beside a wall. [It was very straight because] it had been built using a (plumb line/cord with a weight on one end to determine if walls are vertically straight). Yahweh had the plumb line in his hand.
Kastoy ti impakitana kaniak: Pagammoan, nagtakder ti Apo iti abay ti pader, nga adda iggemna a tinnag.
8 Yahweh asked me, “Amos, what do you see?” I replied, “A plumb line.” Then Yahweh said, “Look, I am going to use a plumb line among my Israeli people, [to show that they are like a wall that is not straight]. I will not change my mind again about punishing them.
Kinuna ni Yahweh kaniak, “Amos, ania ti makitkitam?” Kinunak, “Maysa a tinnag.” Ket kinuna ti Apo, “Agikabillakto iti tinnag kadagiti tattaok nga Israel. Saankonto ida nga ispalenen.
9 The places on hills where [the descendants of] [MTY] Isaac worship [idols] will be destroyed. And the other important shrines in Israel will also be destroyed. And I will enable [your enemies] to attack your people with swords and they will get rid of [King] Jeroboam and all his descendants.”
Madadaelto dagiti nangangato a disso ni Isaac, madadaelto dagiti nasantoan a disso ti Israel, ket tumakderakto nga addaan iti kampilan maibusor iti balay ni Jeroboam.
10 Then Amaziah, the priest at Bethel, sent [a message] to Jeroboam, the King of Israel. In the message he said, “Amos is plotting against you among the Israeli people [MTY]. [I am worried that] the people of this country will not be able to refute his words.
Kalpasana, nangipatulod ni Amasias a padi ti Betel iti maysa a mensahe kenni Jeroboam nga ari ti Israel: “Nagpanggep ni Amos maibusor kenka iti tengnga ti balay ti Israel. Saan a maibturan ti daga ti amin a saona.
11 This is what he is saying: ‘Jeroboam will soon be killed by [someone using] a sword, and the people of Israel will be (exiled/forced to leave their land and go to another country).’”
Ta kastoy ti imbaga ni Amos: 'Matayto ni Jeroboam babaen iti kampilan ken awan duadua a maitalawto a kas balud ti Israel iti lugar nga adayo iti dagana.”
12 Then Amaziah [came to me and] said, “You prophet, get out of here! Go back to the country of Judah! Earn money to [buy food to be able] to live there, and do your prophesying there!
Kinuna ni Amasias kenni Amos, “Profeta, pumanawka, agsublika idiay daga ti Juda, ket manganka sadiay iti tinapay ken agipadtoka sadiay.
13 Do not prophesy any more here at Bethel, because this is where the national temple, the king’s temple, is!”
Ngem saankan nga agipadto ditoy Betel gapu ta daytoy ket santuario ti ari ken balayna.”
14 I replied to Amaziah, “I was [previously] not a prophet, and my father was not a prophet; I was a shepherd. I also took care of sycamore-fig trees.
Ket kinuna ni Amos kenni Amasias, “Saanak a profeta wenno putot iti maysa a profeta. Agpaspastorak iti arban ken agay-aywanak kadagiti kayo a sikamoro.
15 But Yahweh took me away from taking care of my sheep, and he said to me, ‘Go to Israel and prophesy to my people there!’
Ngem innalanak ni Yahweh iti panagpaspastorko iti arban ket kinunana kaniak, 'Mapanka agipadto kadagiti tattaok nga Israelita.'
16 You said to me, ‘Do not prophecy saying terrible things will happen to [the people of] Israel; stop saying those things!’
Ita denggem ti sao ni Yahweh. Ibagbagam, 'Saanka nga agipadto maibusor iti Israel, ken saanka nga agsao maibusor iti balay ni Isaac.'
17 Therefore listen to what Yahweh says about you: ‘Your wife will become a prostitute in this city, and your sons and daughters will be killed by [your enemies’] swords. Others will measure your land and divide it up [among themselves]; and you yourself will die in a foreign country. And the people of Israel will certainly be forced to leave their country and go (into exile/to live in another country).’”
Ngarud, kastoy ti kuna ni Yahweh: 'Agbalinto a balangkantis iti siudad ti asawam; matayto dagiti putotmo a babbai ken lallaki babaen iti kampilan; marukod ken mabingay-bingayto ti dagam; mataykanto iti narugit a daga, ken awan duadua a maitalawto a kas balud ti Israel manipud iti dagana.”
