< Amos 6 >
1 Woe to you who have been wealthy in Zion, and to you who have confidence in the mountain of Samaria: aristocrats, heads of the people, who advance with a retinue into the house of Israel.
Kaĩ mũrĩ na haaro-ĩ! inyuĩ mũikaraga mwĩgangarĩte mũrĩ kũu Zayuni, na inyuĩ mũiguaga mũrĩ agitĩre mũrĩ kĩrĩma-igũrũ gĩa Samaria; o inyuĩ mũrĩ igweta thĩinĩ wa rũrĩrĩ rũrĩa rũrĩ mbere ya iria ingĩ, kũrĩa andũ a Isiraeli mathiiaga.
2 Cross over to Calneh and see, and go from there into Hamath the great, and descend into Gath of the Philistines, and to the best kingdoms of these, if their limits are wider than your limits.
Thiĩi Kaline mũkeyonere kuo, ningĩ muume kuo mũthiĩ nginya Hamathu, itũũra rĩu inene, mũcooke mũikũrũke mũkinye Gathu kwa Afilisti. Anga acio nĩega magakĩra mothamaki manyu meerĩ? Bũrũri wao-rĩ, nĩ mũnene gũkĩra wanyu?
3 You have been set aside for the day of disaster, and you approach the throne of iniquity.
Inyuĩ mũtĩĩragia mũthenya wa ũũru, na mũkareharehe wathani wa ũhinya ũkuhĩrĩrie.
4 You sleep on beds of ivory, and you are lustful on your couches. You devour lambs from the flock and calves from the midst of the herd.
Mũkomagĩra marĩrĩ magemetio na mĩguongo, na mũgetambũrũkia itanda-inĩ cianyu. Mũrĩĩaga tũgondu tũrĩa twega mũno, na tũcaũ tũrĩa tũnoru.
5 You sing to the sound of stringed instruments; they consider themselves to have the musical abilities of David.
Mũtiindaga mũkĩhũũra inanda cianyu cia mũgeeto o ta Daudi, na mũgethondekera inanda ingĩ cia kũina nacio.
6 You drink wine in bowls, and you anoint with the best ointments; and they suffer nothing over the grief of Joseph.
Mũnyuuaga ndibei mbakũri riita, na mũkehakaga maguta marĩa mega mũno, no mũtiiguaga kĩeha nĩ ũndũ wa mwanangĩko wa Jusufu.
7 Because of this, now they will depart at the head of those who go into captivity; and the faction of the lustful will be removed.
Tondũ ũcio-rĩ, mũgaatuĩka a mbere gũtahwo; ndĩa cianyu na gũikara mwĩtambũrũkĩtie ithire.
8 The Lord God has sworn by his own soul, the Lord God of hosts says: I detest the arrogance of Jacob, and I hate his houses, and I will hand over the city with its inhabitants.
Mwathani Jehova nĩehĩtĩte akĩĩgwetaga we mwene, o we Jehova Ngai Mwene-Hinya-Wothe, akoiga atĩrĩ: “Nĩthũire mwĩtĩĩo wa Jakubu, na ngamena ciĩhitho ciake iria nũmu; nĩngarekereria itũũra rĩu inene na kĩrĩa gĩothe kĩrĩ thĩinĩ warĩo kũrĩ thũ.”
9 For if there were ten men remaining in one house, even they will die.
Andũ ikũmi mangĩgatigara thĩinĩ wa nyũmba ĩmwe-rĩ, o nao no magaakua.
10 And his closest relative will steal him away and will burn him, so that he may carry the bones out of the house. And he will say to him that is in the inner most rooms of the house, “Now is there any left that still belongs to you?” And he will answer, “It is finished.” And he will say to him, “Be silent and do not call to mind the name of the Lord.”
Nake mũndũ wao ũrĩa wa gũcina mĩĩrĩ ĩyo angĩũka kũmiumia nja ya nyũmba na orie mũndũ ũrĩa wĩhithĩte kuo thĩinĩ atĩrĩ, “Kũrĩ mũndũ ũngĩ ũtakuĩte mũrĩ nake?” Nake oige atĩrĩ, “Aca.” Nake acookie oige atĩrĩ, “Kira ki! Tũtikagwete rĩĩtwa rĩa Jehova.”
11 For behold, the Lord has commanded, and he will strike the greater house with catastrophes, and the lesser house with divisions.
Nĩgũkorwo Jehova nĩathanĩte, nake nĩagathutha nyũmba ĩrĩa nene ĩtuĩke icunjĩ, na nyũmba ĩrĩa nini ituĩke tũcunjĩ.
12 Can horses gallop across rocks, or is anyone able to plough with gazelles? For you have turned judgment into bitterness and the fruit of justice into wormwood.
Kaĩ mbarathi ingĩhota gũtengʼera nyanjara-inĩ cia mahiga? Kũrĩ mũndũ ũngĩrĩma kuo na mũraũ wa ndegwa? No inyuĩ mũgarũrĩte kĩhooto gĩgatuĩka ũrogi, na matunda ma ũthingu magatuĩka ũrũrũ,
13 You rejoice in emptiness. You say, “Have we not, by our own strength, taken horns for ourselves?”
inyuĩ arĩa mũkenagĩra ũhootani ũrĩa ũtarĩ ho, na mũkoigaga atĩrĩ, “Githĩ tũtiatunyanire Karinaimu na hinya witũ ithuĩ ene?”
14 For behold, house of Israel, I will raise up a people over you, says the Lord God of hosts, and they will crush you from the entrance of Hamath all the way to the burning of the desert.
Nĩgũkorwo Jehova Ngai Mwene-Hinya-Wothe ekuuga atĩrĩ, “Nĩngarahũra rũrĩrĩ rũgũũkĩrĩre, wee nyũmba ya Isiraeli, rũrĩa rũgakũhinyĩrĩria kuuma itoonyero rĩa Hamathu, o nginya mũkuru wa Araba.”
