< 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!”
Hear this word, ye fat kine that are in the mountains of Samaria: you that oppress the needy, and crush the poor: that say to your masters: Bring, and we will drink.
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 hath sworn by his holiness, that lo, the days shall come upon you, when they shall lift you up on pikes, and what shall remain of you in boiling pots.
3 Ginigolu oko mar dala ka giluwo kodu kuonde momukore mag ohinga, kendo gibiro witou oko kuchomo Hamon,” Jehova Nyasaye owacho.
And you shall go out at the breaches one over against the other, and you shall be cast forth into Armon, saith 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.
Come ye to Bethel, and do wickedly: to Galgal, and multiply transgressions: and bring in the morning your victims, your tithes in 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.
And offer a sacrifice of praise with leaven: and call free offerings, and proclaim it: for so you would do, O children of Israel, saith the Lord God.
6 “Ne akelo kech e miechu duto, kendo nubedo maonge chiemo, to kata kamano pod utamoru duogo ira,” Jehova Nyasaye owacho.
Whereupon I also have given you dulness of teeth in all your cities, and want of bread in all your places: yet you have not returned to me, saith 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 withholden the rain from you, when there were yet three months to the harvest: and I caused it to rain upon one city, and caused it not to rain upon another city: one piece was rained upon: and the piece whereupon I rained not, 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.
And two and three cities went to one city to drink water, and were not filled: yet you returned not to me, saith 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 a burning wind, and with mildew, the palmerworm hath eaten up your many gardens, and your vineyards: your olive groves, and fig groves: yet you returned not to me, saith 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 death upon you in the way of Egypt, I slew your young men with the sword, even to the captivity of your horses: and I made the stench of your camp to come up into your nostrils: yet you returned not to me, saith 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 destroyed some of you, as God destroyed Sodom and Gomorrha, and you were as a firebrand plucked out of the burning: yet you returned not to me, saith 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 these things to thee, O Israel: and after I shall have done these things to thee, be prepared to meet thy God, O 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 that formeth the mountains and createth the wind, and declareth his word to man, he that maketh the morning mist, and walketh upon the high places of the earth: the Lord the God of hosts is his name.
