< 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!
Woe to those who are at ease in Zion, and to those who are secure on the mountain of Samaria, the notable men of the chief of the nations, to whom the house of Israel come!
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?
Go to Calneh, and see. From there go to Hamath the great. Then go down to Gath of the Philistines. Are they better than these kingdoms? Is their border greater than your border?
3 Un joma ok odewo odiechieng bura mabiro, to kata kamano timbeu medo mana kelonu chandruok!
Alas for you who put far away the evil day, and cause the seat of violence to come near,
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 lie on beds of ivory, and stretch themselves on their couches, and eat the lambs out of the flock, and the calves out of the middle of the stall,
5 Un joma goyo thum kaka Daudi nogoyo kendo uchuogo wende mag nyatiti.
who strum on the strings of a harp, who invent for themselves instruments of music, like David;
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 drink wine in bowls, and anoint themselves with the best oils, but they are not grieved for the affliction of Joseph.
7 Kuom mano, un e joma ibiro kuongo daro kitero e twech, kendo mano ema biro bedo giko mar dhialruoku.”
Therefore they will now go captive with the first who go captive. The feasting and lounging will end.
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.”
“The Lord Yahweh has sworn by himself,” says Yahweh, the God of Armies: “I abhor the pride of Jacob, and detest his fortresses. Therefore I will deliver up the city with all that is in it.
9 Ka ji apar odongʼ kata e ot achiel, to gin bende gibiro tho.
It will happen that if ten men remain in one house, they will 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.”
“When a man’s relative carries him, even he who burns him, to bring bodies out of the house, and asks him who is in the innermost parts of the house, ‘Is there yet any with you?’ And he says, ‘No;’ then he will say, ‘Hush! Indeed we must not mention Yahweh’s name.’
11 Jehova Nyasaye osegolo chik, kendo obiro muko udi madongo malokre pidhe, to udi matindo obiro toyo matindo tindo.
“For, behold, Yahweh commands, and the great house will be smashed to pieces, and the little house into bits.
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.
Do horses run on the rocky crags? Does one plow there with oxen? But you have turned justice into poison, and the fruit of righteousness into bitterness,
13 Umor ka umonjo jo-Lo Debir ka upakoru niya, “Donge ne waloyo jo-Karnaim gi tekowa wawegi?”
you who rejoice in a thing of nothing, who say, ‘Haven’t we taken for ourselves horns by our own strength?’
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, I will raise up against you a nation, house of Israel,” says Yahweh, the God of Armies; “and they will afflict you from the entrance of Hamath to the brook of the Arabah.”
