Amos 3
1 Hear this word that the LORD has spoken against you, O children of Israel, against the whole family that I brought up out of the land of Egypt:
Un oganda jo-Israel duto mane agolo e piny Misri, winjuru wach ma an Jehova Nyasaye awachonu:
2 “Only you have I known from all the families of the earth; therefore I will punish you for all your iniquities.”
“Un kende ema aseyiero kuom ogendini duto manie piny; mano emomiyo abiro kumou kuom richou duto musetimo.”
3 Can two walk together without agreeing where to go?
Uparo ni ji ariyo nyalo wuotho kaachiel kapok giwinjore?
4 Does a lion roar in the forest when he has no prey? Does a young lion growl in his den if he has caught nothing?
Bende sibuor nyalo ruto e thim ka oonge gi gima ochamo? Bende nyathi sibuor nyalo ngʼur e gono mare kapok oyudo gima ochamo?
5 Does a bird land in a snare where no bait has been set? Does a trap spring from the ground when it has nothing to catch?
Koso winyo nyalo moko e obadho nade ka ok ochike gi kudni? Koso obadho dimeki nade kaonge gima otuge?
6 If a ram’s horn sounds in a city, do the people not tremble? If calamity comes to a city, has not the LORD caused it?
Bende tungʼ mar lweny nyalo ywak e dala ma ok omiyo ji otetni? Koso ere gima nyalo timore e dala ma ok Jehova Nyasaye ema oyie mondo otimre?
7 Surely the Lord GOD does nothing without revealing His plan to His servants the prophets.
Adier, onge gima Jehova Nyasaye Manyalo Gik Moko Duto nyalo timo e dala ma ok ofwenyo, ne jotichne ma jonabi.
8 The lion has roared— who will not fear? The Lord GOD has spoken— who will not prophesy?
Ka sibuor oruto, to ere ngʼama ok dibed maluor? Kata ere janabi madilingʼ alingʼa ma ok ohulo gima Jehova Nyasaye Manyalo Gik Moko Duto onyise?
9 Proclaim to the citadels of Ashdod and to the citadels of Egypt: “Assemble on the mountains of Samaria; see the great unrest in the city and the acts of oppression in her midst.”
Gouru milome e kuonde mochiel motegno mag Ashdod kaachiel gi Misri: “Chokreuru kanyakla e gode molworo Samaria, mondo uneye timbe mamono matimore e dalano, kendo kaka isando ji kuno.”
10 “For they know not how to do right,” declares the LORD. “They store up violence and destruction in their citadels.”
Jehova Nyasaye wacho niya, “Jogo ok ongʼeyo timo tim makare kendo utegi madongogi opongʼ mana gi gik moyaki.”
11 Therefore this is what the Lord GOD says: “An enemy will surround the land; he will pull down your strongholds and plunder your citadels.”
Kuom mano, ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye Manyalo Gik Moko Duto wacho: “Wasigu biro monjou maketh kuondeu mochiel motegno, kendo giyak mwandu magu.”
12 This is what the LORD says: “As the shepherd snatches from the mouth of the lion two legs or a piece of an ear, so the Israelites dwelling in Samaria will be rescued having just the corner of a bed or the cushion of a couch.
Jehova Nyasaye wacho niya, “Mana kaka jakwath reso lemo ariyo kata it rombo modongʼ ma sibuor pok ochamo, e kaka Nyasaye nores, jo-Israel manok modak Samaria ka gin e dho kitandagi, kaachiel gi man Damaski ka gibet e kombegi.”
13 Hear and testify against the house of Jacob, declares the Lord GOD, the God of Hosts.
Ruoth Nyasaye, ma en Jehova Nyasaye Maratego wacho niya, “Koro chikuru itu mondo usiem nyikwa Jakobo.
14 On the day I punish Israel for their transgressions, I will visit destruction on the altars of Bethel; the horns of the altar will be cut off, and they will fall to the ground.
“Chiengʼ ma abiro kumoe nyithi Israel kuom richogi, bende e ndalo ma abiro kethoe kende mag misango miwangʼoe liswa man Bethel, kendo anangʼad tunge kendego mag misango mi ginipodh piny.
15 I will tear down the winter house along with the summer house; the houses of ivory will also perish, and the great houses will come to an end,”
Anamuk udi mudakie e ndalo mag chwiri kaachiel gi mago mudakie ndalo mag oro; udi ma ukedo igi gi lak liech biro dongʼ gundni kendo uteu madongo duto abiro ketho,” Jehova Nyasaye owacho.
