1 S ayidka Rabbiga ahu wax buu i tusay, oo bal eeg, wuxuu sameeyey ayax markii fufkii dambe bilowday, oo bal eeg, waxay ahayd fufkii dambe markii boqorka cawskiisa la gooyay dabadeed.

Thus hath the Lord God shewed unto me; and, behold, he formed grasshoppers in the beginning of the shooting up of the latter growth; and, lo, it was the latter growth after the king’s mowings.

2 O o markay dhammeeyeen cunitaankii cawskii dalka ayaan idhi, Sayidow, Rabbiyow, waan ku baryayaaye, na cafi, waayo, bal reer Yacquub sidee bay isu taagi doonaan? Waayo, iyagu waa yar yihiin.

And it came to pass, that when they had made an end of eating the grass of the land, then I said, O Lord God, forgive, I beseech thee: by whom shall Jacob arise? for he is small.

3 M arkaasaa Rabbigu taas ka soo noqday, oo Rabbigu wuxuu yidhi, Taasu ahaan mayso.

The Lord repented for this: It shall not be, saith the Lord.

4 S ayidka Rabbiga ahu wax buu i tusay, oo bal eeg, Sayidka Rabbiga ahu wuxuu amray in dab lagu diriro, oo dabku wuxuu laastay moolkii weynaa, oo wuxuu cuni lahaa dhulka.

Thus hath the Lord God shewed unto me: and, behold, the Lord God called to contend by fire, and it devoured the great deep, and did eat up a part.

5 M arkaasaan idhi, Sayidow, Rabbiyow, waan ku baryayaaye jooji, waayo, bal reer Yacquub sidee bay isu taagi doonaan? Waayo, iyagu waa yar yihiin.

Then said I, O Lord God, cease, I beseech thee: by whom shall Jacob arise? for he is small.

6 M arkaasaa Rabbigu taas ka soo noqday, oo Sayidka Rabbiga ahu wuxuu yidhi, Taasuna ahaan mayso.

The Lord repented for this: This also shall not be, saith the Lord God.

7 O o haddana wax buu i tusay, oo bal eeg, Sayidku wuxuu ag istaagay derbi xadhig miisaan leh lagu sameeyey, isagoo xadhig miisaan leh gacanta ku haysta.

Thus he shewed me: and, behold, the Lord stood upon a wall made by a plumbline, with a plumbline in his hand.

8 M arkaasaa Sayidku wuxuu igu yidhi, Caamoosow, maxaad aragtaa? Oo anna waxaan ku idhi, Waxaan arkaa xadhig miisaan leh. Markaasaa Sayidku wuxuu yidhi, Bal eeg, anigu xadhig miisaan leh baan dhigi doonaa dadkayga Israa'iil dhexdooda, oo mar dambena iyaga iska dhaafi maayo.

And the Lord said unto me, Amos, what seest thou? And I said, A plumbline. Then said the Lord, Behold, I will set a plumbline in the midst of my people Israel: I will not again pass by them any more:

9 O o meelaha sare ee reer Isxaaq cidla way noqon doonaan, oo meelaha quduuska ah ee dalka Israa'iilna way baabbi'i doonaan, oo anna reerka Yaaraabcaam seef baan kula kici doonaa. Caamoos Iyo Amasyaah

and the high places of Isaac shall be desolate, and the sanctuaries of Israel shall be laid waste; and I will rise against the house of Jeroboam with the sword.

10 M arkaasaa Amasyaah oo ahaa wadaadkii Beytel farriin u diray Yaaraabcaam oo ahaa boqorkii dalka Israa'iil, oo wuxuu ku yidhi, Caamoos shirqool buu kuugu dhigay dadka Israa'iil dhexdooda, oo dadka dhulkuna erayadiisa oo dhan ma qaadi karaan.

Then Amaziah the priest of Beth-el sent to Jeroboam king of Israel, saying, Amos hath conspired against thee in the midst of the house of Israel: the land is not able to bear all his words.

11 W aayo, Caamoos wuxuu leeyahay, Yaaraabcaam seef buu ku dhimanayaa, oo dadka Israa'iilna sida xaqiiqada ah maxaabiis ahaan waa looga kaxaysanayaa dalkooda.

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

12 O o weliba Amasyaah wuxuu Caamoos ku yidhi, War wax arke yahow, tag, oo dalka Yahuudah u carar, oo halkaas wax ka cun, oo halkaas wax ku sii sheeg.

Also Amaziah said unto Amos, O thou seer, go, flee thee away into the land of Judah, and there eat bread, and prophesy there:

13 L aakiinse mar dambe Beytel waxba ha ku sii sheegin, waayo, waa boqorka meeshiisii quduuska ahayd oo waa daar boqoreed.

but prophesy not again any more at Beth-el: for it is the king’s chapel, and it is the king’s court.

14 M arkaasaa Caamoos jawaabay oo wuxuu Amasyaah ku yidhi, Anigu nebi ma aan ahayn, nebi wiilkiisna ma aan ahayn, laakiinse waxaan jiray adhijir iyo mid midhaha darayga urursada,

Then answered Amos, and said to Amaziah, I was no prophet, neither was I a prophet’s son; but I was an herdman, and a gatherer of sycomore fruit:

15 o o Rabbigu waa ii soo yeedhay anigoo adhi jiraya, markaasuu Rabbigu igu yidhi, Tag, oo dadkayga Israa'iil wax u sii sheeg.

and the Lord took me as I followed the flock, and the Lord said unto me, Go, prophesy unto my people Israel.

16 H addaba bal maqal erayga Rabbiga. Adigu waxaad leedahay, Wax dadka Israa'iil ka gees ah ha sii sheegin, oo wax reer Isxaaq ka gees ahna ha ku hadlin.

Now therefore hear thou the word of the Lord: Thou sayest, Prophesy not against Israel, and drop not thy word against the house of Isaac.

17 H addaba Rabbigu wuxuu leeyahay, Naagtaadu dhillo bay ku ahaan doontaa magaalada, oo wiilashaada iyo gabdhahaaguba seef bay ku dhiman doonaan, oo dhulkaaga xadhig baa lagu qaybsan doonaa, oo adna waxaad ku dhex dhiman doontaa dal nijaasaysan, oo dadka Israa'iilna sida xaqiiqada ah maxaabiis ahaan waa looga kaxaysan doonaa dalkooda.

Therefore thus saith the Lord; Thy wife shall be an harlot in the city, and thy sons and thy daughters shall fall by the sword, and thy land shall be divided by line; and thou shalt die in a polluted land: and Israel shall surely go into captivity forth of his land.
