Amos 1
1 Magi e weche Amos mane en achiel kuom jokwath mane odak Tekoa. Wechegi ne oneno kuom Israel higni ariyo kane piny pok oyiengni, kendo e kindeno Uzia ema ne ruodh Juda, to Jeroboam ma wuod Joash to ne ruodh Israel.
The words of Amos, who was among the herdsmen of Tekoa; what he saw about Israel in the days of Uzziah, king of Judah, and in the days of Jeroboam, the son of Joash, king of Israel, two years before the earth-shock.
2 Nowacho niya, “Jehova Nyasaye ruto koa Sayun, kendo dwonde mor koa Jerusalem; lege ma jokwath kwayoe two, kendo wi got Karmel mosebedo ka ngʼich koro ner.”
And he said, The Lord will give a lion's cry from Zion, his voice will be sounding from Jerusalem; and the fields of the keepers of sheep will become dry, and the top of Carmel will be wasted away.
3 Jehova Nyasaye wacho niya, “Jo-Damaski osebedo katimo richo mangʼeny, omiyo ok abi weyo ma ok akumogi. Nikech gisesando jo-Gilead, ka gigoyogi kod gima bith molos gi nyinyo,
These are the words of the Lord: For three crimes of Damascus, and for four, I will not let its fate be changed; because they have been crushing Gilead with iron grain-crushing instruments.
4 kuom mano abiro oro mach e od Hazael, ma biro wangʼo ohinga mochiel motegno mag Ben-Hadad.
And I will send a fire into the house of Hazael, burning up the great houses of Ben-hadad.
5 Abiro muko dhoranga Damaski, kendo abiro riembo joma odak e Holo mar Aven, kaachiel gi ngʼat motingʼo ludh Jehova Nyasaye man Beth Eden. Jo-Aram ibiro dar miter mabor e twech e piny Kir,” Jehova Nyasaye owacho.
And I will have the locks of the door of Damascus broken, and him who is seated in power cut off from the valley of Aven, and him in whose hand is the rod from the house of Eden; and the people of Aram will go away as prisoners into Kir, says the Lord.
6 Jehova Nyasaye wacho niya, “Jo-Gaza osebedo katimo richo mangʼeny, omiyo ok abi weyo ma ok akumogi. Nikech gisemako ogendini duto mi giterogi e twech e piny Edom,
These are the words of the Lord: For three crimes of Gaza, and for four, I will not let its fate be changed; because they took all the people away prisoners, to give them up to Edom.
7 kuom mano abiro oro mach mi owangʼ ohinga mag Gaza mochiel motegno.
And I will send a fire on the wall of Gaza, burning up its great houses:
8 Abiro riembo ruodh Ashdod kaachiel gi ngʼat motingʼo ludh Jehova Nyasaye man Ashkelon. Abiro kumo dala mar Ekron, kendo abiro nego jo-Filistia duto modongʼ,” Jehova Nyasaye Manyalo Gik Moko Duto owacho.
Him who is seated in power I will have cut off from Ashdod, and him in whose hand is the rod from Ashkelon; and my hand will be turned against Ekron, and the rest of the Philistines will come to destruction, says the Lord God.
9 Jehova Nyasaye wacho niya, “Nikech richo adek ma jo-Turo osetimo, kata richo angʼwen, omiyo ok abi weyo ma ok akumogi. Nikech gisemako ogendini duto mi giterogi e twech e piny Edom, ma ok girito winjruok mar osiep mane gitimo kodgi,
These are the words of the Lord: For three crimes of Tyre, and for four, I will not let its fate be changed; because they gave up all the people prisoners to Edom, without giving a thought to the brothers' agreement between them.
10 kuom mano abiro oro mach mi wangʼ ohinga mag Turo mochiel motegno.”
And I will send a fire on the wall of Tyre, burning up its great houses.
11 Jehova Nyasaye wacho niya, “Nikech richo adek ma jo-Edom osetimo, kata richo angʼwen, omiyo ok abi weyo ma ok akumogi. Nikech nolawo owadgi gi ligangla ka oonge gi ngʼwono, kendo ne osiko mana ka omako kode sadha,
These are the words of the Lord: For three crimes of Edom, and for four, I will not let its fate be changed; because his sword was turned against his brother, without pity, and his wrath was burning at all times, and he was angry for ever.
12 kuom mano, abiro oro mach mi wangʼ Teman, kendo enowangʼ ohinga mochiel motegno mag Bozra.”
And I will send a fire on Teman, burning up the great houses of Bozrah.
13 Jehova Nyasaye wacho niya, “Nikech richo adek ma jo-Amon osetimo, kata richo angʼwen, omiyo ok abi weyo ma ok akumogi. Nikech gisenego mine ma yach mag Gilead mondo omi giyar tongʼ mag lopegi,
These are the words of the Lord: For three crimes of the children of Ammon, and for four, I will not let its fate be changed; because in Gilead they had women with child cut open, so that they might make wider the limits of their land.
14 kuom mano abiro moko mach e ohinga mag Raba kendo abiro wangʼo kuonde mochiel motegno mag dalano. Mahu nowinjre chiengʼ kedo kendo lweny nobed mager.
And I will make a fire in the wall of Rabbah, burning up its great houses, with loud cries in the days of war, with a storm in the day of the great wind:
15 Ruodhigi kaachiel gi jodong-gi ibiro daro miter e twech,” Jehova Nyasaye owacho.
And their king will be made prisoner, he and his captains together, says the Lord.
