< Amos 9 >

1 I saw the Lord stationed by the side of the altar, giving blows to the tops of the pillars so that the doorsteps were shaking: and he said, I will let all of them be broken with earth-shocks; I will put the last of them to the sword: if any one of them goes in flight he will not get away, not one of them will be safe.
Nĩndonire Mwathani arũgamĩte kĩgongona-inĩ, nake akiuga atĩrĩ: “Gũtha ciongo cia itugĩ, nĩgeetha hingĩro cia nyũmba cienyenye. Hingĩro icio nĩigwĩre mĩtwe ya andũ othe, na arĩa magatigara nĩngamooraga na rũhiũ rwa njora. Gũtirĩ o na ũmwe ũkoora; gũtirĩ ũkaahonoka.
2 Even if they go deep into the underworld, my hand will take them up from there; if they go up to heaven, I will get them down: (Sheol h7585)
O na mangĩkenja thĩ makinye kwa ngoma, guoko gwakwa no gũkaamaruta kuo. O na mangĩkaahaica igũrũ, nĩngamaharũrũkia kuuma kuo. (Sheol h7585)
3 Though they take cover on the top of Carmel, I will go in search of them and get them out; though they keep themselves from my eyes in the bed of the sea, I will give orders to the great snake there and he will give them a bite:
O na mangĩkehitha igũrũ rĩa kĩrĩma gĩa Karimeli, nĩngamaguĩma kuo ndĩmanyiite. O na mangĩkehitha mathiĩ rungu rwa iria-rĩ, o nakuo nĩngatha nyoka ĩmarũme.
4 And though they are taken away as prisoners by their attackers, even there will I give orders to the sword to put them to death: my eyes will be fixed on them for evil and not for good.
O na mangĩgaatwarwo ithaamĩrio nĩ thũ ciao, nĩngathana mooragĩrwo kuo na rũhiũ rwa njora. Ngamakũũrĩra maitho makwa, maitho ma ũũru, no ti ma wega.”
5 For the Lord, the God of armies, is he at whose touch the land is turned to water, and everyone in it will be given up to sorrow; all of it will be overflowing like the River, and will go down again like the River of Egypt;
Mwathani, o we Jehova Mwene-Hinya-Wothe, ũrĩa ũhutagia thĩ, ĩgatweka, nao arĩa othe matũũraga kuo magacakaya, bũrũri wothe nĩkũiyũra ũiyũrĩte ta Rũũĩ rwa Nili, ningĩ ũkahũcũka ta rũũĩ rwa Misiri,
6 It is he who makes his rooms in the heaven, basing his arch on the earth; whose voice goes out to the waters of the sea, and sends them flowing over the face of the earth; the Lord is his name.
we ũrĩa wakaga gĩikaro gĩake kĩa ũthamaki kĩraihu kũu igũrũ, na akahaanda gĩtina gĩakĩo gũkũ thĩ, ũrĩa wĩtaga maaĩ ma iria rĩrĩa inene, na akamaitũrũra gũkũ thĩ-rĩ, Jehova nĩrĩo rĩĩtwa rĩake.
7 Are you not as the children of the Ethiopians to me, O children of Israel? says the Lord. Have I not taken Israel up out of the land of Egypt, and the Philistines from Caphtor, and the Aramaeans from Kir?
Jehova ekuuga atĩrĩ: “Githĩ inyuĩ andũ a Isiraeli mũtihaana andũ a Kushi harĩ niĩ? Githĩ ti niĩ ndaarutire na ngĩambatia andũ a Isiraeli kuuma bũrũri wa Misiri, na Afilisti kuuma Kafitori, na Asuriata ngĩmaruta Kiri?
8 See, the eyes of the Lord are on the evil kingdom, and I will put an end to it in all the earth; but I will not send complete destruction on Jacob, says the Lord.
“Ti-itherũ, maitho ma Mwathani Jehova nĩmacũthagĩrĩria makona ũthamaki ũrĩa wĩhagia. Nĩngawananga, ũthire gũkũ thĩ, no ndikaananga nyũmba ya Jakubu biũ,” ũguo nĩguo Jehova ekuuga.
9 For see, I will give orders, and I will have Israel moved about among all the nations, as grain is moved about by the shaking of the tray, but not the smallest seed will be dropped on the earth.
“Nĩgũkorwo nĩngathana, na nĩngainainia nyũmba ya Isiraeli gatagatĩ-inĩ ka ndũrĩrĩ ciothe, o ta ũrĩa ngano ĩinainagio ĩrĩ gĩcungi-inĩ, na gũkaaga kahĩndĩ kangĩgũa thĩ.
10 All those sinners among my people will be put to the sword who say, Evil will not overtake us or come face to face with us.
Andũ arĩa othe ehia thĩinĩ wa andũ akwa makooragwo na rũhiũ rwa njora, o arĩa othe moigaga atĩrĩ, ‘Tũtingĩkorererwo nĩ mũtino, kana ũtũtũnge.’
11 In that day I will put up the tent of David which has come down, and make good its broken places; and I will put up again his damaged walls, building it up as in the past;
“Mũthenya ũcio nĩngacookereria hema ya Daudi ĩrĩa ĩgwĩte, thondeke kũrĩa yunĩkangĩte, na njookererie kũrĩa yanangĩtwo, na ndĩmĩake o ta ũrĩa yatariĩ mbere,
12 So that the rest of Edom may be their heritage, and all the nations who have been named by my name, says the Lord, who is doing this.
nĩgeetha makegwatĩra matigari ma Edomu, na ndũrĩrĩ ciothe iria ciĩtanagio na rĩĩtwa rĩakwa,” ũguo nĩguo Jehova ekuuga, ũrĩa ũgeeka maũndũ macio.
13 See, the days will come, says the Lord, when the ploughman will overtake him who is cutting the grain, and the crusher of the grapes him who is planting seed; and sweet wine will be dropping from the mountains, and the hills will be turned into streams of wine.
Jehova ekuuga atĩrĩ, “Matukũ nĩmarooka, “rĩrĩa mũgethi agaakorererwo nĩ mũciimbi, nake mũhaandi akorererwo nĩ mũndũ ũrĩa ũhihaga thabibũ. Ndibei ya mũhihano ĩgaatataga kuuma irĩma-inĩ, na ĩthererage kuuma tũrĩma-inĩ tuothe.
14 And I will let the fate of my people Israel be changed, and they will be building up again the waste towns and living in them; they will again be planting vine-gardens and taking the wine for their drink; and they will make gardens and get the fruit of them.
Nĩngacookia andũ akwa a Isiraeli arĩa maatahĩtwo, nao macookererie matũũra manene marĩa maanangĩtwo, matũũre kuo; ningĩ marĩme mĩgũnda ya mĩthabibũ na manyuuage ndibei yayo. Magathondeka mĩgũnda ya irio na marĩĩage maciaro mayo.
15 And I will have them planted in their land, and never again will they be uprooted from their land which I have given them, says the Lord your God.
Niĩ ngaahaanda Isiraeli bũrũri wao ene, na matigacooka kũrutwo rĩngĩ bũrũri ũcio niĩ ndĩmaheete,” ũguo nĩguo Jehova Ngai wanyu ekuuga.
