Amos 8
Magandang Balita Biblia (with Deuterocanon)
Ang Pangitain tungkol sa Isang Basket ng Prutas
8 Ipinakita naman sa akin ng Panginoong Yahweh ang isang basket ng prutas. 2 Sinabi niya, “Amos, ano ang nakikita mo?” “Isa pong basket ng prutas,” sagot ko. At sinabi sa akin ni Yahweh,
“Dumating na ang wakas[a] ng Israel.
Ang pagpaparusa sa kanila'y di ko na maipagpapaliban pa.
3 At sa araw na iyon, malulungkot na awitin ang maririnig sa palasyo.[b]
May mga bangkay na naghambalang sa labas
at maghahari ang katahimikan.”
Ang Kapahamakan ng Israel
4 Pakinggan ninyo ito, kayong sumisikil sa mga nangangailangan,
at kayong umaapi sa mga dukha.
5 Ang sabi ninyo sa inyong sarili,
“Inip na inip na kaming matapos ang mga araw ng pagdiriwang.
Hindi tuloy namin maipagbili ang aming mga inani.
Kailan ba matatapos ang Sabbath,
para maipagbili namin ang mga trigo?
Tataasan namin ang halaga, gagamit kami ng madayang takalan,
at dadayain namin sa timbang ang mga mamimili.
6 Bibilhin namin upang maging alipin ang mga mahihirap sa halagang isang pilak,
at ang mga nangangailangan ay sa halagang katumbas ng isang pares na sandalyas.
At ipagbibili namin ang ipa ng trigo.”
7 Sumumpa si Yahweh, ang Diyos ng Israel,
“Hindi ko na mapapatawad ang masasama nilang gawa.
8 Magkakaroon ng lindol sa lupa at mananangis ang bawat isa.
Mayayanig ang buong bayan; tataas-bababâ ito na tulad ng Ilog Nilo.”
9 Sa araw na iyon, sabi ng Panginoong Yahweh,
“Lulubog ang araw sa katanghaliang-tapat,
at magdidilim sa buong maghapon.
10 Ang iyong kapistahan ay gagawin kong araw ng kapighatian;
at ang masasayang awitin ninyo'y magiging panaghoy.
Pipilitin ko kayong magsuot ng panluksa,
at mapipilitan kayong mag-ahit ng ulo.
Matutulad kayo sa magulang na nagdadalamhati, dahil sa pagkamatay ng kaisa-isang anak.
Ang araw na iyon ay magiging mapait hanggang sa wakas.”
11 Sinabi ng Panginoong Yahweh,
“Darating din ang araw na papairalin ko sa lupain ang taggutom.
Magugutom sila ngunit hindi sa pagkain; mauuhaw sila ngunit hindi sa tubig,
kundi sa pakikinig ng aking mga salita.
12 Mula sa hilaga papuntang timog,
mula sa silangan hanggang sa kanluran,
hahanapin nila ang salita ni Yahweh,
subalit iyon ay hindi nila matatagpuan.
13 Dahil sa matinding pagkauhaw na ito,
mawawalan ng malay-tao ang magagandang dalaga at ang malalakas na binata.
14 Ang mga sumusumpa sa pangalan ng mga diyus-diyosan sa Samaria,
ang mga nagsasabing, ‘Sa ngalan ng diyos ng Dan,’
at ‘Sa ngalan ng diyos ng Beer-seba,’
sila'y mabubuwal at hindi na makakabangon pa.”
Amos 8
King James Version
8 Thus hath the Lord God shewed unto me: and behold a basket of summer fruit.
2 And he said, Amos, what seest thou? And I said, A basket of summer fruit. Then said the Lord unto me, The end is come upon my people of Israel; I will not again pass by them any more.
3 And the songs of the temple shall be howlings in that day, saith the Lord God: there shall be many dead bodies in every place; they shall cast them forth with silence.
4 Hear this, O ye that swallow up the needy, even to make the poor of the land to fail,
5 Saying, When will the new moon be gone, that we may sell corn? and the sabbath, that we may set forth wheat, making the ephah small, and the shekel great, and falsifying the balances by deceit?
6 That we may buy the poor for silver, and the needy for a pair of shoes; yea, and sell the refuse of the wheat?
7 The Lord hath sworn by the excellency of Jacob, Surely I will never forget any of their works.
8 Shall not the land tremble for this, and every one mourn that dwelleth therein? and it shall rise up wholly as a flood; and it shall be cast out and drowned, as by the flood of Egypt.
9 And it shall come to pass in that day, saith the Lord God, that I will cause the sun to go down at noon, and I will darken the earth in the clear day:
10 And I will turn your feasts into mourning, and all your songs into lamentation; and I will bring up sackcloth upon all loins, and baldness upon every head; and I will make it as the mourning of an only son, and the end thereof as a bitter day.
11 Behold, the days come, saith the Lord God, 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 the Lord:
12 And they shall wander from sea to sea, and from the north even to the east, they shall run to and fro to seek the word of the Lord, and shall not find it.
13 In that day shall the fair virgins and young men faint for thirst.
14 They that swear by the sin of Samaria, and say, Thy god, O Dan, liveth; and, The manner of Beersheba liveth; even they shall fall, and never rise up again.
Amos 8
New International Version
A Basket of Ripe Fruit
8 This is what the Sovereign Lord showed me:(A) a basket of ripe fruit. 2 “What do you see,(B) Amos?(C)” he asked.
“A basket(D) of ripe fruit,” I answered.
Then the Lord said to me, “The time is ripe for my people Israel; I will spare them no longer.(E)
3 “In that day,” declares the Sovereign Lord, “the songs in the temple will turn to wailing.[a](F) Many, many bodies—flung everywhere! Silence!(G)”
5 saying,
“When will the New Moon(J) be over
that we may sell grain,
and the Sabbath be ended
that we may market(K) wheat?”(L)—
skimping on the measure,
boosting the price
and cheating(M) with dishonest scales,(N)
6 buying the poor(O) with silver
and the needy for a pair of sandals,
selling even the sweepings with the wheat.(P)
7 The Lord has sworn by himself, the Pride of Jacob:(Q) “I will never forget(R) anything they have done.(S)
8 “Will not the land tremble(T) for this,
and all who live in it mourn?
The whole land will rise like the Nile;
it will be stirred up and then sink
like the river of Egypt.(U)
9 “In that day,” declares the Sovereign Lord,
“I will make the sun go down at noon
and darken the earth in broad daylight.(V)
10 I will turn your religious festivals(W) into mourning
and all your singing into weeping.(X)
I will make all of you wear sackcloth(Y)
and shave(Z) your heads.
I will make that time like mourning for an only son(AA)
and the end of it like a bitter day.(AB)
11 “The days are coming,”(AC) declares the Sovereign Lord,
“when I will send a famine through the land—
not a famine of food or a thirst for water,
but a famine(AD) of hearing the words of the Lord.(AE)
12 People will stagger from sea to sea
and wander from north to east,
searching for the word of the Lord,
but they will not find it.(AF)
13 “In that day
