Amos 6
1 “Mano kaka unune malit un joma odak maber e Sayun, kod un joma nigi geno ni gode mag Samaria nyalo resogi, kaachiel gi un joma omi luor mag oganda maduongʼ, ma jo-Israel dhi irgi mondo oyud konyruok!
Alas for the careless in Zion, and for them who put confidence in the mountain of Samaria, —the distinguished among the first group of nations, to whom came in the house of Israel.
2 Dhiuru uneye Kalne, mi uchop nyaka Hamath, eka bangʼe ulor udhi nyaka Gath manie piny jo-Filistia. Uparo ni pinjego ber moloyo pinjeu? Koso uparo ni nitiere piny maduongʼ moloyo pinyu?
Pass ye over to Calneh, and see, and go on from thence to Hamath the great, —and go down to Gath of the Philistines, are they better than these kingdoms? or their boundary larger than your boundary?
3 Un joma ok odewo odiechieng bura mabiro, to kata kamano timbeu medo mana kelonu chandruok!
Ye who are putting far away the day of calamity, —but bringing near the abode of violence:
4 Un joma nindo e kitendini mokedi gi lak liech, kendo utaroru e kombeu madongo, kuchamo nyirombe mayom ma jambu onywolo, kod nyirwethu machwe mopidh maber.
Who are lying on beds of ivory, and sprawling on their couch of pleasure, —and eating the well-fed of the flock, and the fatted calves out of the midst of the stalls:
5 Un joma goyo thum kaka Daudi nogoyo kendo uchuogo wende mag nyatiti.
Who are bawling at the bidding of the harp, —like David, have they invented for themselves instruments of song:
6 Un joma madho divai mangʼeny gi agwetni madongo, kendo uwiroru gi modhi mangʼwe ngʼar ma nengogi tek, to ok ane ka un gi lit kata ka joka Josef rumo kamano.
Who are quaffing bowls of wine, and, with the best of oils, anointing themselves, —and are not afflicted for the injury of Joseph: —
7 Kuom mano, un e joma ibiro kuongo daro kitero e twech, kendo mano ema biro bedo giko mar dhialruoku.”
Therefore, at once, shall they go into exile among the first of the exiles, —so shall be disturbed the revelry of sprawlers.
8 Jehova Nyasaye Manyalo Gik Moko Duto, ma en Jehova Nyasaye Maratego, osekwongʼore kosingore owuon niya, “Asin gi sunga mar joka Jakobo, kendo asin nyaka gi ohinga mag-gi moger motegno; omiyo abiro chiwo dalagi kod gik moko manie iye e lwet wasigu.”
Sworn hath the Lord, Yahweh, by his own life, Declareth Yahweh, God of hosts, abhorring am I, the grandeur of Jacob, and, his palaces, I hate, —therefore will I cast off the city and the fulness thereof.
9 Ka ji apar odongʼ kata e ot achiel, to gin bende gibiro tho.
And it shall come to pass, though there be left remaining ten men in one house, yet shall they die;
10 To ka achiel kuom wede joma othogo obiro mondo okaw wadgi mondo owangʼ, to nopenj ngʼat motonyno niya, “Bende ngʼato ni kodi kanyo?” Ngʼatno nodwoke niya, “ooyo,” kendo nowachne niya, “Lingʼ thi nikech ok onego waluong nying Jehova Nyasaye ka.”
And a man’s near of kin, even he who is about to burn the bones, shall carry him out of the house, when he shall say to him that is in the hinder parts of the house—Are there yet any with thee? and he shall say—No one. Then shall he say—Hush! for we must not invoke the name of Yahweh.
11 Jehova Nyasaye osegolo chik, kendo obiro muko udi madongo malokre pidhe, to udi matindo obiro toyo matindo tindo.
For lo! Yahweh, is giving command, and will smite the great house into ruins, —and the little house with clefts.
12 Bende farese nyalo ringo e kite, koso ngʼato nyalo puro wi kitego gi dhok? Kata kamano, un to uloko bura makare bedo gima kech, bende tim makare uloko gima rach.
Shall horses run upon crag? or will a man plough [there] with oxen? For ye have turned to poison the sentence of justice, and the fruit of righteousness, to wormwood:
13 Umor ka umonjo jo-Lo Debir ka upakoru niya, “Donge ne waloyo jo-Karnaim gi tekowa wawegi?”
Who rejoice in a thing of nought, —who say, Have we not by our own strength, taken to ourselves horns?
14 Omiyo Jehova Nyasaye ma en Nyasaye Maratego wacho niya, “Yaye jo-Israel, abiro kelo oganda moro mondo omonju, ka gisandou chakre Lebo Hamath nyaka e holo mar Araba.”
For behold me! raising up against you, O house of Israel, Declareth Yahweh, the God of hosts—a nation! And they shall crush you, from the entering in of Hamath, unto the torrent-bed of the waste plain.
