Amos 4
1 Hear this word, ye cows of Bashan, who are in the mountain of Samaria, who oppress the poor, who crush the needy, who say to their lords, Bring, and let us drink.
Nụrụ okwu a, unu nne ehi nke Bashan, ndị na-ebi nʼelu ugwu Sameria, unu ndị inyom na-emegbu ndị ogbenye, ma zọpịakwa ndị mkpa na-akpa, ndị na-asị di ha, “welatara anyị ihe ọṅụṅụ”
2 The lord Jehovah has sworn by his holiness, that, lo, the days shall come upon you, that they shall take you away with hooks, and your residue with fish-hooks.
Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị ewerela ịdị nsọ ya ṅụọ iyi, sị, “Ụbọchị ahụ aghaghị ịbịa mgbe a ga-eji nko dọkpụrụ unu pụọ; jiri nko azụ dọkpụrụ ọ bụladị onye ikpeazụ nʼime unu.
3 And ye shall go out at the breaches, each one straight before her, and ye shall cast yourselves into Harmon, says Jehovah.
Ọ bụ site nʼoghere dị iche iche e mere na mgbidi obodo, ka onye ọbụla ga-esi nʼahịrị nʼahịrị pụọ, a ga-atụga unu nʼụzọ Hamon.” Otu a ka Onyenwe anyị kwupụtara.
4 Come to Bethel and transgress, to Gilgal and multiply transgression. And bring your sacrifices every morning, and your tithes every three days.
“Gaanụ na Betel, ma jehie. Jeenụ Gilgal mee ka mmehie baa ụba. Butenụ ihe aja unu ụtụtụ niile. Webatakwanụ onyinye otu ụzọ nʼụzọ iri unu nʼụbọchị atọ ọbụla.
5 And offer a sacrifice of thanksgiving of that which is leavened, and proclaim freewill offerings, and publish them. For this pleases you, O ye sons of Israel, says the lord Jehovah.
Chụọnụ aja nsure ọkụ dịka aja ekele, site nʼachịcha koro eko; kpọsaakwanụ banyere onyinye afọ ofufu niile unu na-enye, nyaanụ isi banyere ha, unu bụ ndị Izrel, nʼihi na nke a bụ ihe unu hụrụ nʼanya ime.” Otu a ka Onyenwe anyị kwupụtara.
6 And I also have given you cleanness of teeth in all your cities, and want of bread in all your places, yet ye have not returned to me, says Jehovah.
“E mere m ka unu nwee eze dị ọcha nʼobodo unu niile, mekwa ka ụkọ nri dị nʼọnụmara unu niile ma unu alọghachikwuteghị m.” Otu a ka Onyenwe anyị kwupụtara.
7 And I also have withheld 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 upon which it did not rain withered.
“Ọzọkwa, Mụ onwe m gbochikwara mmiri izoro unu, mgbe ọ fọdụrụ ọnwa atọ tupu owuwe ihe ubi ebido. Enyere m otu obodo mmiri ozuzo, ma gbochie ya izoro obodo nke ọzọ. Mmiri zoro nʼotu ubi, ma nke mmiri ezoghị na ya kpọnwụrụ.
8 So two or three cities wandered to one city to drink water, and were not satisfied. Yet ye have not returned to me, says Jehovah.
Ndị si obodo abụọ maọbụ atọ chọrọ mmiri ọṅụṅụ jee nʼobodo ọzọ, ma ha enwetaghị nke ha ji aṅụju afọ, ma nʼime ihe ndị a niile unu alọghachikwuteghị m.” Otu a ka Onyenwe anyị kwupụtara.
9 I have smitten you with blasting and mildew. The multitude of your gardens and your vineyards and your fig trees and your olive trees the palmer-worm has devoured. Yet ye have not returned to me, says Jehovah.
“Ezitere m ọrịa nchakpọ nʼubi unu niile a gbara ogige, ya na ubi vaịnị unu niile, ọtụtụ oge, werekwa ọrịa na-eripịa ihe ubi na ọmụma ebu bibie ha, zitekwa igurube nke richapụrụ osisi fiig na osisi oliv unu niile, ma nke a emeghị ka unu lọghachikwute m.” Otu a ka Onyenwe anyị kwupụtara.
10 I have sent among you the pestilence according to the manner of Egypt. I have slain your young men with the sword, and have carried away your horses, and I have made the stench of your camp to come up even into your nostrils. Yet ye have not returned to me, says Jehovah.
“Ezitere m nʼetiti unu ajọ ọrịa na-efe efe dịka ndị ahụ m zitere ndị Ijipt. Ejiri m mma agha gbuo ụmụ okorobịa unu, mee ka a dọta ịnyịnya agha unu nʼagha. Emere m ka isisi ọjọọ ndị niile nwuru nʼọmụma ụlọ ikwu unu jupụta imi unu, ma nke a emeghị ka unu lọghachikwute m.” Otu a ka Onyenwe anyị kwupụtara.
11 I have overthrown cities among you, as when God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah, and ye were as a brand plucked out of the burning. Yet ye have not returned to me, says Jehovah.
“Akwaturu m ụfọdụ nʼime unu dịka mgbe Chineke kwaturu Sọdọm na Gọmọra. Unu dịka ọlọkọ nkụ ọkụ alọpụtara site nʼọkụ, ma unu alọghachikwuteghị m,” otu a ka Onyenwe anyị kwubiri.
12 Therefore thus I will do to thee, O Israel, and because I will do this to thee, prepare to meet thy God, O Israel.
“Nʼihi ya, ihe ndị a ka m na-aga ime gị, gị bụ Izrel. Ebe ọ bụkwa na ejikerela m ime gị ihe ndị a, jikere, O Izrel, izute Chineke gị.”
13 For, lo, he who forms the mountains, and creates the wind, and declares to man what is his thought, who makes the morning darkness, and treads upon the high places of the earth-Jehovah, the God of hosts, is his name.
Ma lee, onye na-akpụ ugwu niile, onye na-ekekwa ifufe, nke na-ekpughekwa echiche uche ya nye mmadụ, onye na-emekwa ka chi ọbụbọ ghọọ ọchịchịrị, na-azọchakwa ugwu niile nʼọbụụkwụ ya, Onyenwe anyị Chineke Onye pụrụ ime ihe niile bụ aha ya.
