Amos 4
1 Winjuru wachni, un mond Samaria machwe ka dwesni ma Bashan, un mon masando jochan, un muthago joma odhier, kendo uwachone chwou niya, “Kelnwa gik ma wanyalo madho!”
Listen to this word, you cows of Bashan, who are on the mountain of Samaria, who oppress the poor, who crush the needy, who tell their husbands, “Bring us drinks!”
2 Jehova Nyasaye Manyalo Gik Moko Duto osesingore niya, “Ndalo biro chopo ma wasigu noywau gi olope kendo ngʼato ka ngʼato kuomu, nochal mana ka rech ma olowu omako.
The Lord GOD has sworn by his holiness, “Behold, the days shall come on you that they will take you away with hooks, and the last of you with fish hooks.
3 Ginigolu oko mar dala ka giluwo kodu kuonde momukore mag ohinga, kendo gibiro witou oko kuchomo Hamon,” Jehova Nyasaye owacho.
You will go out at the breaks in the wall, everyone straight before her; and you will cast yourselves into Harmon,” says the LORD.
4 “Dhiuru Bethel mondo utim richo; kendo dhiuru Gilgal mondo umed timoe richo. Keluru misengini magu okinyi kokinyi kendo keluru achiel kuom apar magu bangʼ higni adek ka higni adek.
“Go to Bethel, and sin; to Gilgal, and sin more. Bring your sacrifices every morning, your tithes every three days,
5 Chiwuru makati moketie thowi kaka misango mar dwoko erokamano, kendo landuru wach kusungoru, un jo-Israel kuom chiwo mar hera, nimar mano ema uwinjo ka morou ka usiko kutimo,” Jehova Nyasaye Manyalo Gik Moko Duto owacho.
offer a sacrifice of thanksgiving of that which is leavened, and proclaim free will offerings and brag about them; for this pleases you, you children of Israel,” says the Lord GOD.
6 “Ne akelo kech e miechu duto, kendo nubedo maonge chiemo, to kata kamano pod utamoru duogo ira,” Jehova Nyasaye owacho.
“I also have given you cleanness of teeth in all your cities, and lack of bread in every town; yet you have not returned to me,” says the LORD.
7 “Ne amako koth mondo kik chue kane pod odongʼ dweche adek to piny chiek. Ne amiyo koth ochwe e mier moko, to ok e mier mamoko. Ne ochwe e puothe moko, to puothe mane ok ochweye, to ne wangʼ.
“I also have withheld the rain from you, when there were yet three months to the harvest; and I caused it to rain on one city, and caused it not to rain on another city. One field was rained on, and the field where it did not rain withered.
8 Ji ne wuotho awuotha e mier kamanyo pi modho, kendo ne ok ginyal yudo pi moromogi, to kata kuom mago duto pod utamoru duogo ira,” Jehova Nyasaye owacho.
So two or three cities staggered to one city to drink water, and were not satisfied; yet you have not returned to me,” says the LORD.
9 “Kuom kinde mangʼeny ne aoro dera mi oketho chambu gi puotheu mag mzabibu. Bonyo noketho puotheu mag ngʼowu kod mag zeituni, to kata kuom mago duto pod utamoru duogo ira,” mano e wach Jehova Nyasaye.
“I struck you with blight and mildew many times in your gardens and your vineyards, and the swarming locusts have devoured your fig trees and your olive trees; yet you have not returned to me,” says the LORD.
10 “Ne akelonu tuoche mag buche machal gi mane akelo ni jo-Misri. Ne anego yawuotu mangʼeny kod ligangla kaachiel gi fareseu mag lweny. Bende ne amiyo tik marach mar joma otho othingʼou e kuondeu mag bworo, to kata kuom mago duto pod ne utamoru duoga ira,” Jehova Nyasaye owacho.
“I sent plagues among you like I did Egypt. I have slain your young men with the sword, and have carried away your horses. I filled your nostrils with the stench of your camp, yet you have not returned to me,” says the LORD.
11 “Ne atieko jomoko kuomu mana kaka ne atieko Sodom gi Gomora, kendo ne uchalo mana gi yien moyudh kawangʼ e mach, to kata kuom mago duto pod ne utamoru duoga ira,” Jehova Nyasaye owacho.
“I have overthrown some of you, as when God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah, and you were like a burning stick plucked out of the fire; yet you have not returned to me,” says the LORD.
12 “Kuom mano, ma e gima abiro timonu un jo-Israel, to nikech abiro timonu kama, koro ikreuru mondo urom gi Nyasachu, yaye Israel.”
“Therefore I will do this to you, Israel; because I will do this to you, prepare to meet your God, Israel.
13 Jal mane ochweyo gode bende ema nochweyo yamo, onyiso dhano parone, bende en ema oloko ler mar odiechiengʼ bedo mudho, en e ruodh piny duto; nyinge en Jehova Nyasaye, ma Nyasaye Maratego.
For, behold, he who forms the mountains, creates the wind, declares to man what is his thought, who makes the morning darkness, and treads on the high places of the earth: The LORD, the God of Armies, is his name.”
