¹Thus the Lord Yahweh showed me: behold, a basket of summer fruit.

¹ Haŋ kaŋ Rabbi, Koy Beero cab'ay se neeya: Guna, cilla fo go kaŋ to da kaydiya nafa.

²He said, “Amos, what do you see?” I said, “A basket of summer fruit.” Then Yahweh said to me, “The end has come on my people Israel. I will not again pass by them any more.

² Kal a ne: «Amos, ifo no ni di?» Ay ne: «Cilla kaŋ to da kaydiya nafa no.» Kala Rabbi ne ay se: «Bananta kaa ay borey Israyla gaa. Ay si ye k'i yaafa koyne.

³The songs of the temple will be wailings in that day,” says the Lord Yahweh. “The dead bodies will be many. In every place they will throw them out with silence.

³ Zaari woodin ra sududuyaŋ windo dooney ga ye ka ciya wurru.» Yaadin no Rabbi, Koy Beero ci. «Buukoy baa, i go g'i furu-furu nangu kulu ka ne: ‹Wa dangay!› »

⁴Hear this, you who desire to swallow up the needy, and cause the poor of the land to fail,

⁴ Wa maa woone, ya araŋ kaŋ ga ba araŋ ma alfukaarey gon, Araŋ ma naŋ talkey kaŋ go laabo ra ma ban!

⁵Saying, ‘When will the new moon be gone, that we may sell grain? And the Sabbath, that we may market wheat, making the ephah 1 ephah is about 22 litres or about 2/3 of a bushel small, and the shekel large, and dealing falsely with balances of deceit;

⁵ Araŋ goono ga ne: «Waatifo no handu tajo wo ga ban, Hal iri ma ntaasu neera? Asibti* mo ma ban hal iri ma alkama neesi? Iri ma muudo beera zabu ka nooro tonton, Iri ma goy da tangari nda gulinci neesiji,

⁶that we may buy the poor for silver, and the needy for a pair of shoes, and sell the sweepings with the wheat?’”

⁶ Hal iri ma du daama iri ma talka day da nzarfu, Iri ma alfukaarey mo day taamu ce fo hay, Iri ma alkama duwo neera.»

⁷Yahweh has sworn by the pride of Jacob, “Surely I will never forget any of their works.

⁷ Rabbi ze da Yakuba darza ka ne: Daahir ay si dinya baa afolloŋ i goyey ra, hal abada.

⁸Won’t the land tremble for this, and everyone mourn who dwells in it? Yes, it will rise up wholly like the River; and it will be stirred up and sink again, like the River of Egypt.

⁸ Manti laabo ga jijiri woodin sabbay se? A ra gorokoy kulu mo ma te bine saray? Daahir, a ga tun me folloŋ sanda isa beero cine. A ga butugu ka ye ka kani koyne sanda Misira isa cine.

⁹It will happen in that day,” says the Lord Yahweh, “that I will cause the sun to go down at noon, and I will darken the earth in the clear day.

⁹ A ga ciya mo han din hane, Yaa no Rabbi, Koy Beero ci, «Ay ga naŋ wayna ma kaŋ za zaari bindi, Ay ma naŋ ndunnya ma te kubay za wayna go batama gaa.

¹⁰I will turn your feasts into mourning, and all your songs into lamentation; and I will make you wear sackcloth on all your bodies, and baldness on every head. I will make it like the mourning for an only son, and its end like a bitter day.

¹⁰ Ay m'araŋ diina batey bare i ma te bu hẽeni, Araŋ dooney kulu mo ma ciya hẽeni. Ay ga bufu zaara daŋ ka daabu cante kulu gaa, Boŋ-tali mo ma bara boŋ kulu gaa. Ay ma naŋ a ma hima sanda bu baray ize folloŋ kaŋ go nga hayra se buuyaŋ sabbay se, Bananta mo ma ciya sanda zaari fotto.»

¹¹Behold, the days come,” says the Lord Yahweh, “that I will send a famine in the land, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the words of Yahweh.

¹¹ Yaa no Rabbi, Koy Beero ci: «Guna, jirbiyaŋ goono ga kaa kaŋ ay ga haray samba laabo ra, Kaŋ manti ŋwaari haray no, manti mo hari jaw no, Amma Rabbi sanno maayaŋ wane no.

¹²They will wander from sea to sea, and from the north even to the east; they will run back and forth to seek the word of Yahweh, and will not find it.

¹² I ga dira ka bar-bare za teeko gaa ne kal a ma koy teeku fa gaa, Za azawa kambe kal a ma koy wayna funay haray. I ga zuru ne ka koy yongo Rabbi sanno ceeciyaŋ sabbay se, Amma i si du a.

¹³In that day the beautiful virgins and the young men will faint for thirst.

¹³ Zaari woodin ra, Wandiyo sogey da arwasu gaabikooney ga yangala jaw sabbay se.

¹⁴Those who swear by the sin of Samaria, and say, ‘As your god, Dan, lives;’ and, ‘As the way of Beersheba lives;’ they will fall, and never rise up again.”

¹⁴ Borey kaŋ yaŋ ga ze da Samariya zunubo, Da borey kaŋ yaŋ ga ne: ‹Ya nin Dan, ay ze da ni de-koyo fundo,› Da borey kaŋ yaŋ ga ne: ‹Ay ze da Beyer-Seba fonda _tooro|_,› -- Baa woodin yaŋ mo ga kaŋ. I si ye ka tun koyne, hal abada.»
