Amos 5
1 Chikuru itu un dhood Israel mondo uwinjie wende ywak ma asechuogonu:
Hear this word that I am bearing to you, A lamentation, O house of Israel:
2 “Israel ma en nyako ngili koro osepodho, kendo ok nochak oa malo, nimar osepodho e pinye owuon maonge ngʼama nyalo chunge.”
'Fallen, not again to rise, hath the virgin of Israel, Left on her land — she hath no raiser up.'
3 Jehova Nyasaye Manyalo Gik Moko Duto wacho niya, “Dala maduongʼ mane ooro joge mag lweny alufu achiel mondo oked ne jo-Israel, mia achiel kende ema biro duogo, to mano mooro joge mag lweny mia achiel, apar kende ema biro duogo.”
For thus said the Lord Jehovah: The city that is going out a thousand, Doth leave an hundred, And that which is going out an hundred, Doth leave ten to the house of Israel.
4 Jehova Nyasaye wacho ni dhood Israel niya, “Dwarauru eka unubed mangima,
For thus said Jehovah to the house of Israel: Seek ye Me, and live,
5 kik udhi Bethel, kendo kik udhi Gilgal, to bende kik ukadhi nyaka Bersheba, nimar jo-Gilgal duto ibiro daro matergi e twech, kendo Bethel biro mana lal nono.”
And seek not Beth-El, and Gilgal enter not, And Beer-Sheba pass not through, For Gilgal doth utterly remove, And Beth-El doth become vanity.
6 Dwaruru Jehova Nyasaye eka unubed mangima, nono to obiro tieko joka Josef ka mach mawengʼo, en mach mabiro wangʼo jo-Bethel maonge ngʼama nyalo nego.
Seek ye Jehovah, and live, Lest He prosper as fire [against] the house of Joseph, And it hath consumed, And there is no quencher for Beth-El.
7 Mano en wach manade ka uloko bura makare bedo lit, kendo utuono joga gik monego giyudi.
Ye who are turning to wormwood judgment, And righteousness to the earth have put down,
8 Jehova Nyasaye ema nochweyo Yugni gi Ratego, en ema omiyo piny ru, kendo yuso, en bende ema oluongo pi nam mondo obi, kendo ologi e piny, nyinge iluongo ni Jehova Nyasaye.
The maker of Kimah and Kesil, And the turner to morning of death-shade, And day [as] night He hath made dark, Who is calling to the waters of the sea, And poureth them on the face of the earth, Jehovah [is] His name;
9 En ema oketho mier mochiel motegno kendo omuko ohinga mag dala.
Who is brightening up the spoiled against the strong, And the spoiled against a fortress cometh.
10 Un umon gi ngʼama odonjo ni jaketho, kendo usin gi ngʼat mawacho adiera.
They have hated a reprover in the gate, And a plain speaker they abominate.
11 Usethiro joma odhier ma kata cham matin magin godo usechunogi ma gimiyou kaka asoya. Kuom mano, usegero udi mabeyo mag kidi, to ok unudagie, to bende ok unumadhi divai mag mzabibu mabeyo musepidho,
Therefore, because of your trampling on the poor, And the tribute of corn ye take from him, Houses of hewn work ye have built, And ye do not dwell in them, Desirable vineyards ye have planted, And ye do not drink their wine.
12 nikech aneno ka un kod ketho mangʼeny kendo richou sani okadho akwana, nikech usando joma ungʼeyo ni onge gi ketho, kendo uchamo asoya, to kata mana joma odhier manie dieru bende utamo mondo kik yud bura makare.
For I have known — many [are] your transgressions, And mighty your sins, Adversaries of the righteous, taking ransoms, And the needy in the gate ye turned aside.
13 Emomiyo ngʼat mariek lingʼ alingʼa e kinde ma kama nikech gin kinde mag richo.
Therefore is the wise at that time silent, For an evil time it [is].
14 Dwaruru ber, to ok rach, mondo ubed mangima, eka Jehova Nyasaye, ma en Nyasaye Maratego nobed kodu mana kaka uparono.
Seek good, and not evil, that ye may live, And it is so; Jehovah, God of Hosts, [is] with you, as ye said.
15 Beduru mamon gi timbe maricho, to heruru timbe mabeyo; ngʼaduru bura makare e ute buche. Ka utimo kamano, to dipo ka Jehova Nyasaye, ma Nyasaye Maratego nyalo timo ngʼwono ni joka Josef mane otony oa e twech.
Hate evil, and love good, And set up judgment in the gate, It may be Jehovah, God of Hosts, doth pity the remnant of Joseph.
16 Kuom mano, Ruoth Nyasaye, ma en Jehova Nyasaye Maratego wacho niya, “Ywak biro winjore e yore duto mag dala, kendo ji magoyo nduru ibiro winjo kuonde mag chokruok; jopur bende noluong mondo oywagi kaachiel gi joma olony e ywak.
Therefore, thus said Jehovah, God of Hosts, the Lord, In all broad places [is] lamentation, And in all out-places they say, 'Alas, alas,' And called the husbandman to mourning, And to lamentation the skilful of wailing.
17 E puothe duto mag mzabibu ywak nobedie, nikech abiro biro mondo amiu kum,” Jehova Nyasaye owacho.
And in all vineyards [is] lamentation, For I pass into thy midst, said Jehovah.
18 Yaye unune malit un joma gombo mondo odiechieng Jehova Nyasaye ochopi! En angʼo momiyo ugombo odiechiengno mar Jehova Nyasaye mondo ochopi? Enobed chiengʼ mudho to ok chiengʼ ler!
Ho, ye who are desiring the day of Jehovah, Why [is] this to you — the day of Jehovah? It is darkness, and not light,
19 Chiengʼno nochal mana gi ngʼat ma sibuor lawo, to oromo gi ondiek, kata nochal gi ngʼat modonjo e ot, moyiengo lwete e kor ot, mi thuol okaye!
As [when] one fleeth from the face of the lion, And the bear hath met him, And he hath come in to the house, And hath leant his hand on the wall, And the serpent hath bitten him.
20 Donge odiechiengno mar Jehova Nyasaye nobed odiechieng mudho mandiwa, molil maonge chiengʼ ler, kendo ma chiengʼ ok norienyie?
Is not the day of Jehovah darkness and not light, Even thick darkness that hath no brightness?
21 “Asin kendo amon gi sewni mutimona, bende ok amor gi chokruok mau ma ulosona.
I have hated — I have loathed your festivals, And I am not refreshed by your restraints.
22 Kata obedo ni ukelona misengini miwangʼo pep kod misengini mag cham, to ok anayiego; bende kata obedo ni ukelona misengini mag lalruok to ok abi yiego.
For though ye cause burnt-offerings and your presents to ascend to Me, I am not pleased, And the peace-offering of your fatlings I behold not.
23 Weuru baro wiya gi wendeu mag pak, nikech ok adwar winjo thumbe mugoyogo.
Turn aside from Me the noise of thy songs, Yea, the praise of thy psaltery I hear not.
24 Weuru mondo bura makare ema mondo omol ka pi aora, kendo tim makare ema omol ka aora ma ok dwon.
And roll on as waters doth judgment, And righteousness as a perennial stream.
25 “Yaye jo-Israel, bende ne ukelona misengini kata chiwo moro amora kuom higni piero angʼwen mane un e thim?
Sacrifices and offering did ye bring nigh to Me, In a wilderness forty years, O house of Israel?
26 Ne utingʼo kuonde lemo mag ruodhu malo, ne utingʼo nyiseche manono, mag sulwe ma Sakuth gi Kaiwan, mane uloso ni un uwegi,
And ye bare Succoth your king, and Chiun your images, The star of your god, that ye made for yourselves.
27 omiyo abiro darou mi ateru e piny twech mabor mayombo Damaski,” Jehova Nyasaye, ma nyinge en Nyasaye Maratego, ema owacho.
And I removed you beyond Damascus, Said Jehovah, God of Hosts [is] His name.
