Amos 1
1 Magi e weche Amos mane en achiel kuom jokwath mane odak Tekoa. Wechegi ne oneno kuom Israel higni ariyo kane piny pok oyiengni, kendo e kindeno Uzia ema ne ruodh Juda, to Jeroboam ma wuod Joash to ne ruodh Israel.
The message of Amos, one of the sheep breeders of Tekoa, which he saw concerning Israel in the reign of King Uzziah of Judah, and in the reign of Jeroboam the son of King Joash of Israel, two years before the earthquake.
2 Nowacho niya, “Jehova Nyasaye ruto koa Sayun, kendo dwonde mor koa Jerusalem; lege ma jokwath kwayoe two, kendo wi got Karmel mosebedo ka ngʼich koro ner.”
Amos said: Whenever the Lord roars from Zion, and utters his voice from Jerusalem, the pastures of the shepherds dry up, the top of Carmel becomes arid.
3 Jehova Nyasaye wacho niya, “Jo-Damaski osebedo katimo richo mangʼeny, omiyo ok abi weyo ma ok akumogi. Nikech gisesando jo-Gilead, ka gigoyogi kod gima bith molos gi nyinyo,
The Lord says: For Damascus’ three crimes – no, four! – I will not rescind my judgment. They have threshed Gilead with threshing instruments of iron.
4 kuom mano abiro oro mach e od Hazael, ma biro wangʼo ohinga mochiel motegno mag Ben-Hadad.
Therefore I will send fire on Hazael’s house, it will devour the palaces of Ben-hadad.
5 Abiro muko dhoranga Damaski, kendo abiro riembo joma odak e Holo mar Aven, kaachiel gi ngʼat motingʼo ludh Jehova Nyasaye man Beth Eden. Jo-Aram ibiro dar miter mabor e twech e piny Kir,” Jehova Nyasaye owacho.
I will break open the gate of Damascus, I will wipe out those who live in the valley of Aven and the sceptered ruler of Beth-Eden. The people of Aram will go into captivity in Kir, says the Lord.
6 Jehova Nyasaye wacho niya, “Jo-Gaza osebedo katimo richo mangʼeny, omiyo ok abi weyo ma ok akumogi. Nikech gisemako ogendini duto mi giterogi e twech e piny Edom,
The Lord says: For Gaza’s three crimes – no, four! – I will not rescind my judgment. They carried away captive a whole nation, sold them as slaves to Edom.
7 kuom mano abiro oro mach mi owangʼ ohinga mag Gaza mochiel motegno.
Therefore I will send fire on the wall of Gaza, and it shall devour her palaces.
8 Abiro riembo ruodh Ashdod kaachiel gi ngʼat motingʼo ludh Jehova Nyasaye man Ashkelon. Abiro kumo dala mar Ekron, kendo abiro nego jo-Filistia duto modongʼ,” Jehova Nyasaye Manyalo Gik Moko Duto owacho.
And I will wipe out those who live in Ashdod, and the sceptered ruler of Askelon. I will turn my hand against Ekron, and the remnant of the Philistines will perish, says the Lord.
9 Jehova Nyasaye wacho niya, “Nikech richo adek ma jo-Turo osetimo, kata richo angʼwen, omiyo ok abi weyo ma ok akumogi. Nikech gisemako ogendini duto mi giterogi e twech e piny Edom, ma ok girito winjruok mar osiep mane gitimo kodgi,
The Lord says: For Tyre’s three crimes – no, four! – I will not rescind my judgment. They carried away captive a whole people into exile in Edom, and did not remember the brotherly covenant.
10 kuom mano abiro oro mach mi wangʼ ohinga mag Turo mochiel motegno.”
So I will send fire on the walls of Tyre. It will devour her palaces.
11 Jehova Nyasaye wacho niya, “Nikech richo adek ma jo-Edom osetimo, kata richo angʼwen, omiyo ok abi weyo ma ok akumogi. Nikech nolawo owadgi gi ligangla ka oonge gi ngʼwono, kendo ne osiko mana ka omako kode sadha,
The Lord says: For Edom’s three crimes – no, four! – I will not rescind my judgment. They pursued their relatives with the sword, stilled their pity, cherished their anger continually, retained their fury forever.
12 kuom mano, abiro oro mach mi wangʼ Teman, kendo enowangʼ ohinga mochiel motegno mag Bozra.”
So I will send a fire into Teman. It will destroy the palaces of Bozrah.
13 Jehova Nyasaye wacho niya, “Nikech richo adek ma jo-Amon osetimo, kata richo angʼwen, omiyo ok abi weyo ma ok akumogi. Nikech gisenego mine ma yach mag Gilead mondo omi giyar tongʼ mag lopegi,
The Lord says: For Ammonites’ three crimes – no, four! – I will not rescind my judgment. They have ripped open pregnant women in Gilead, in their lust for land.
14 kuom mano abiro moko mach e ohinga mag Raba kendo abiro wangʼo kuonde mochiel motegno mag dalano. Mahu nowinjre chiengʼ kedo kendo lweny nobed mager.
So I will kindle a fire on the wall of Rabbah. It will destroy her palaces, with a war-cry in the day of battle, with a tempest in the day of the whirlwind.
15 Ruodhigi kaachiel gi jodong-gi ibiro daro miter e twech,” Jehova Nyasaye owacho.
Their king will go into exile, he and his nobles together, says the Lord.
