Literal Version

8:4 Israel’s punishment

4Listen to this, you who trample the needy

and take the poor off the land. 5They say,

“When will the new moon celebrations be over, so we can sell grain again?

When will the Rest Day be over, so we can sell wheat?

We’ll make the measure small and increase the price,

as we cheat with false scales.

6This is so we can sell low-grade wheat.

We can buy the poor people with cash,

and the needy people for a pair of sandals.”

7Yahweh has made an oath on Yakob’s pride,

“I certainly won’t ever forget any of their evil actions.

8Won’t the land itself quake due to this behaviour,

and every one who lives in it mourn?

All of the ground will come up like the Nile River after the rains,

and it will be tossed about then settle again, like Egypt’s river.

9This is the declaration of my master Yahweh:

“It will come at that time that I’ll make the sun set at noon,

and I will darken the earth during the day.

10I’ll turn your festivals into mourning

and all your songs into dirges.

I’ll make all of you wear sackcloth

and every head to be shaved.

I’ll make it like mourning for an only son,

and a bitter day to its end.

11This is the declaration of my master Yahweh:

Listen, the days are coming when I’ll send a famine to this country.

Not a famine for bread or a thirst for water,

but for hearing Yahweh’s messages.

12They’ll stagger from sea to sea.

They’ll rove around from the north to the east to seek Yahweh’s message,

but they won’t find it.

13In that day the beautiful young women

and the young men will faint from dehydration.

14Those who swear by the guilt of Shomron (Samaria)

and say, ‘As your god lives, Dan,’

and, ‘As the road to Beer-Sheva exists’—

they will die and never live again.”

4hear this the_trample the_needy and_to_do_away_with the_afflicted_people_of[fn] the_land.
5To_say when will_it_pass the_new_moon and_sell grain and_the_sabbath and_market grain that_make_small an_ʼēyfāh and_to_great a_shekel and_to_practice_deceit balances_of deceit.
6That_buy in/on/at/with_silver poor_people and_needy in_account_of a_pair_of_sandals and_waste_of grain we_will_sell_grain.
7YHWH He_has_sworn in/on/at/with_pride_of Yaˊₐqoⱱ/(Jacob) if I_will_forget to_forever all_of deeds_of_their.
8Because_of this not will_it_tremble the_earth/land and_mourn every_of one_who_dwells in/on/at/with_it and_rise like_the_nile all_of_it and_tossed_about and_subside[fn] like_Nile of_Miʦrayim/(Egypt).
9and_it_was in_the_day (the)_that the_utterance_of my_master YHWH and_go_down the_sun in/on/at/with_noon and_darken to_the_earth in/on_day light.
10And_turn feasts_of_your_all’s into_mourning and_all songs_of_your_all’s into_lamentation and_bring on all_of loins sackcloth and_on every_of head baldness and_make_it like_mourning an_only_son and_end_of_it like_day bitter.
11Here days are_coming the_utterance_of my_master YHWH and_send a_famine on_the_earth not a_famine of_the_bread and_not a_thirst for_the_water if/because (if) of_hearing DOM the_words_of YHWH.
12And_stagger from_sea to sea and_from_north and_unto the_east they_will_rove_about to_seek DOM the_word_of YHWH and_not they_will_find_it.
13In_the_day (the)_that they_will_become_faint the_young_women the_beautiful and_the_young_men in/on/at/with_thirst.
14The_swear in/on/at/with_guilt_of Shomrōn and_say by_the_life god_of_your Oh_Dān and_lives of_the_way_of of Bəʼēr and_fall and_not they_will_rise again.
