< Amos 4 >
1 Hear this word, you cows of Bashan on Mount Samaria, you women who oppress the poor and crush the needy, who say to your husbands, “Bring us more to drink.”
Winjuru wachni, un mond Samaria machwe ka dwesni ma Bashan, un mon masando jochan, un muthago joma odhier, kendo uwachone chwou niya, “Kelnwa gik ma wanyalo madho!”
2 The Lord GOD has sworn by His holiness: “Behold, the days are coming when you will be taken away with hooks, and your posterity with fishhooks.
Jehova Nyasaye Manyalo Gik Moko Duto osesingore niya, “Ndalo biro chopo ma wasigu noywau gi olope kendo ngʼato ka ngʼato kuomu, nochal mana ka rech ma olowu omako.
3 You will go out through broken walls, each one straight ahead of her, and you will be cast out toward Harmon,”
Ginigolu oko mar dala ka giluwo kodu kuonde momukore mag ohinga, kendo gibiro witou oko kuchomo Hamon,” Jehova Nyasaye owacho.
4 “Go to Bethel and transgress; rebel even more at Gilgal! Bring your sacrifices every morning, your tithes every three days.
“Dhiuru Bethel mondo utim richo; kendo dhiuru Gilgal mondo umed timoe richo. Keluru misengini magu okinyi kokinyi kendo keluru achiel kuom apar magu bangʼ higni adek ka higni adek.
5 Offer leavened bread as a thank offering, and loudly proclaim your freewill offerings. For that is what you children of Israel love to do,”
Chiwuru makati moketie thowi kaka misango mar dwoko erokamano, kendo landuru wach kusungoru, un jo-Israel kuom chiwo mar hera, nimar mano ema uwinjo ka morou ka usiko kutimo,” Jehova Nyasaye Manyalo Gik Moko Duto owacho.
6 “I beset all your cities with cleanness of teeth and all your towns with lack of bread, yet you did not return to Me,”
“Ne akelo kech e miechu duto, kendo nubedo maonge chiemo, to kata kamano pod utamoru duogo ira,” Jehova Nyasaye owacho.
7 “I also withheld the rain from you when the harvest was three months away. I sent rain on one city but withheld it from another. One field received rain; another without rain withered.
“Ne amako koth mondo kik chue kane pod odongʼ dweche adek to piny chiek. Ne amiyo koth ochwe e mier moko, to ok e mier mamoko. Ne ochwe e puothe moko, to puothe mane ok ochweye, to ne wangʼ.
8 People staggered from city to city for water to drink, but they were not satisfied; yet you did not return to Me,”
Ji ne wuotho awuotha e mier kamanyo pi modho, kendo ne ok ginyal yudo pi moromogi, to kata kuom mago duto pod utamoru duogo ira,” Jehova Nyasaye owacho.
9 “I struck you with blight and mildew in your growing gardens and vineyards; the locust devoured your fig and olive trees, yet you did not return to Me,”
“Kuom kinde mangʼeny ne aoro dera mi oketho chambu gi puotheu mag mzabibu. Bonyo noketho puotheu mag ngʼowu kod mag zeituni, to kata kuom mago duto pod utamoru duogo ira,” mano e wach Jehova Nyasaye.
10 “I sent plagues among you like those of Egypt; I killed your young men with the sword, along with your captured horses. I filled your nostrils with the stench of your camp, yet you did not return to Me,”
“Ne akelonu tuoche mag buche machal gi mane akelo ni jo-Misri. Ne anego yawuotu mangʼeny kod ligangla kaachiel gi fareseu mag lweny. Bende ne amiyo tik marach mar joma otho othingʼou e kuondeu mag bworo, to kata kuom mago duto pod ne utamoru duoga ira,” Jehova Nyasaye owacho.
11 “Some of you I overthrew as I overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah, and you were like a firebrand snatched from a blaze, yet you did not return to Me,”
“Ne atieko jomoko kuomu mana kaka ne atieko Sodom gi Gomora, kendo ne uchalo mana gi yien moyudh kawangʼ e mach, to kata kuom mago duto pod ne utamoru duoga ira,” Jehova Nyasaye owacho.
12 “Therefore, that is what I will do to you, O Israel, and since I will do this to you, prepare to meet your God, O Israel!
“Kuom mano, ma e gima abiro timonu un jo-Israel, to nikech abiro timonu kama, koro ikreuru mondo urom gi Nyasachu, yaye Israel.”
13 For behold, He who forms the mountains, who creates the wind and reveals His thoughts to man, who turns the dawn to darkness and strides on the heights of the earth— the LORD, the God of Hosts, is His name.”
Jal mane ochweyo gode bende ema nochweyo yamo, onyiso dhano parone, bende en ema oloko ler mar odiechiengʼ bedo mudho, en e ruodh piny duto; nyinge en Jehova Nyasaye, ma Nyasaye Maratego.
