Amos 8

1 Afei, deɛ Otumfoɔ Awurade yi kyerɛɛ me nie: kɛntɛn a aduaba a abereɛ wɔ mu.

The Lord God schewide to me these thingis; and lo! an hook of applis.

2 Ɔbisaa sɛ, “Ɛdeɛn na wohunu, Amos?” Mebuaa sɛ, “Kɛntɛn a wɔde nnuaba a abereɛ ahyɛ no ma.” Ɛna Awurade ka kyerɛɛ me sɛ, “Me nkurɔfoɔ Israelfoɔ berɛ no aso; meremfa wɔn ho nnkyɛ wɔn bio.”

And the Lord seide, What seist thou, Amos? And Y seide, An hook of applis. And the Lord seide to me, The ende is comun on my puple Israel; Y schal no more putte to, that Y passe bi hym.

3 Sɛdeɛ Otumfoɔ Awurade seɛ nie, “Saa ɛda no, asɔrefie nnwontoɔ bɛdane menabɔ. Wɔbɛbɔ afunu bebree apete baabiara! Enti yɛ komm!”

And the herris, ether twistis, of the temple schulen greetli sowne in that dai, seith the Lord God. Many men schulen die, silence schal be cast forth in ech place.

4 Montie saa asɛm yi, mo a motiatia mmɔborɔwafoɔ so, na mopam ahiafoɔ firi wɔn asase so,

Here ye this thing, whiche al to-breken a pore man, and maken nedi men of the lond for to faile;

5 na moka sɛ, “Ɛberɛ bɛn na ɔbosome foforɔ bɛtwam ama yɛatɔn aduane, na Homeda bɛba awieeɛ ama yɛadi ayuo dwa?” Sɛ mobɛhyɛ susukora mu na moatoto ɛboɔ so na mode nsania a wɔamia mu asisi atɔfoɔ,

and ye seien, Whanne schal heruest passe, and we schulen sille marchaundises? and the sabat, and we schulen opene wheete? that we make lesse the mesure, and encreesse the cicle, and `vndur put gileful balauncis;

6 na mode dwetɛ atɔ ahiafoɔ na mmɔborɔwafoɔ nso moatɔn wɔn agye mpaboa, na moapra ayuo ase afra ayuo mu atɔn.

that we welde bi siluer nedi men and pore men for schoon, and we sille outcastyngis of wheete?

7 Awurade de Yakob ahohoahoa aka ntam sɛ: “Me werɛ remfiri biribiara a wɔayɛ da.

The Lord swoor ayens the pride of Jacob, Y schal not foryete til to the ende alle the werkis of hem.

8 “Asase renwoso wɔ deɛ asie yi ho anaa, na wɔn a wɔte mu nyinaa ntwa adwo anaa? Asase no nyinaa bɛpagya ne ho te sɛ Nil ɛbubu afa so, na asane atwe bio te sɛ Misraim asubɔnten.”

Whether on this thing the erthe schal not be mouyd togidere, and eche dwellere therof schal mourene? And it schal stie vp as al the flood, and schal be cast out, and schal flete awei as the stronde of Egipt.

9 Sɛdeɛ Otumfoɔ Awurade seɛ nie, “Saa ɛda no, mɛma owia atɔ owigyinaeɛ, na mama esum aduru asase so awia ketee.

And it schal be, seith the Lord, in that dai the sunne schal go doun in myddai, and Y schal make the erthe for to be derk in the dai of liyt.

10 Mɛdane mo nyamesom apontoɔ ama ayɛ awerɛhoɔdie na mo nnwontoɔ nyinaa adane osu. Mɛma mo nyinaa afira ayitoma na mayi mo tirinwi. Mɛyɛ saa da no te sɛ ɔba korɔ ho awerɛhoɔdie da na awieeɛ no ayɛ sɛ da a ɛyɛ nwono.

And Y schal conuerte youre feeste daies in to mourenyng, and alle youre songis in to weilyng; and Y schal brynge yn on ech bac of you a sak, and on ech heed of you ballidnesse; and Y schal put it as the mourenyng of oon bigetun sone, and the laste thingis therof as a bittir dai.

11 “Nna no reba” sɛdeɛ Otumfoɔ Awurade seɛ nie, “Mɛma ɛkɔm aba asase no so, ɛnnyɛ aduane ɛkɔm anaa nsukɔm, na mmom, Awurade asɛm ho ɛkɔm.

Lo! the daies comen, seith the Lord, and Y schal sende out hungur in to erthe; not hungur of breed, nether thirst of watir, but of herynge the word of God.

12 Nnipa bɛtɔ ntentan akyinkyin firi ɛpo so akɔ ɛpo so na wɔakyinkyini afiri atifi fam akɔ apueeɛ fam, sɛ wɔrekɔhwehwɛ Awurade asɛm, nanso wɔrenhunu.

And thei schulen be mouyd to gidere fro the see til to the see, and fro the north til to the eest thei schulen cumpasse, sekynge the word of the Lord, and thei schulen not fynde.

13 “Na saa da no “mmabaawa ahoɔfɛfoɔ ne mmarimaa ahoɔdenfoɔ bɛtotɔ baha ɛsiane osukɔm enti.

In that dai faire maidens schulen faile, and yonge men in thirst, whiche sweren in trespas of Samarie,

14 Wɔn a wɔde Samaria aniwuo abosom ka ntam, anaa wɔde Dan ne Beer-Seba abosom ka ntamka no, wɔbɛhwehwe ase na wɔrensɔre bio.”

and seien, Dan, thi god lyueth, and the weie of Bersabee lyueth; and thei schulen falle, and thei schulen no more rise ayen.
