Amos 2
1 Thus saith the Lord: For three crimes of Moab, and for four I will not convert him: because he hath burnt the bones of the king of Edom even to ashes.
Jehova ekuuga atĩrĩ: “Nĩ ũndũ wa mehia matatũ ma Moabi, o na mana-rĩ, niĩ ndikahũndũra mangʼũrĩ makwa. Tondũ nĩacinire mahĩndĩ ma mũthamaki wa Edomu, magĩtuĩka ta coka,
2 And I will seed a fire into Moab, and it shall devour the houses of Carioth: and Moab shall die with a noise, with the sound of the trumpet:
nĩngaitĩrĩria Moabi mwaki ũrĩa ũgaacina ciĩhitho iria nũmu cia Keriothu. Moabi nĩakagũa thĩ na mũrurumo mũnene, gatagatĩ-inĩ ka mbugĩrĩrio ya mbaara, na kũhuhwo kwa mũgambo wa karumbeta.
3 And I will cut off the judge from the midst thereof, and will slay all his princes with him, saith the Lord.
Nĩngananga mwathi wakuo, na njũrage anene ake othe hamwe nake,” ũguo nĩguo Jehova ekuuga.
4 Thus saith the Lord: For three crimes of Juda, and for four I will not convert him: because he hath cast away the law of the Lord, and hath not kept his commandments: for their idols have caused them to err, after which their fathers have walked.
Jehova ekuuga atĩrĩ: “Nĩ ũndũ wa mehia matatũ ma Juda, o na mana-rĩ, niĩ ndikahũndũra mangʼũrĩ makwa. Tondũ nĩmaregete watho wa Jehova, na makaaga kũrũmia irĩra ciake cia watho wa kũrũmĩrĩrwo, tondũ nĩmahĩtithĩtio nĩ ngai cia maheeni, ngai iria maithe mao ma tene maarũmagĩrĩra.
5 And I will send a fire into Juda, and it shall devour the houses of Jerusalem.
Nĩngaitĩrĩria Juda mwaki ũrĩa ũgaacina ciĩhitho iria nũmu cia Jerusalemu.”
6 Thus saith the Lord: For three crimes of Israel, and for four I will not convert him: because he hath sold the just man for silver, and the poor man for a pair of shoes.
Jehova ekuuga atĩrĩ; “Nĩ ũndũ wa mehia matatũ ma Isiraeli, o na mana-rĩ, niĩ ndikahũndũra mangʼũrĩ makwa. Mendagia andũ arĩa athingu betha, na arĩa abatari-rĩ, makamendia nyamũga igĩrĩ.
7 They bruise the heads of the poor upon the dust of the earth, and turn aside the way of the humble: and the son and his father have gone to the same young woman, to profane my holy name.
Marangagĩrĩria mĩtwe ya arĩa athĩĩni taarĩ rũkũngũ rwa thĩ, na makaagithia kĩhooto arĩa ahinyĩrĩrie. Mũndũ na ithe makomaga na mũirĩtu ũmwe, nĩ ũndũ ũcio magathaahia rĩĩtwa rĩakwa itheru.
8 And they sat down upon garments laid to pledge by every altar: and drank the wine of the condemned in the house of their God.
Makomaga harĩa hothe harĩ na kĩgongona, magakomera nguo iria irutĩtwo irũgamĩrĩre thiirĩ. Kũu thĩinĩ wa nyũmba ya ngai yao, nĩkuo manyuuagĩra ndibei ĩrĩa ĩrutĩtwo ya ndooco.
9 Yet I cast out the Amorrhite before their face: whose height was like the height of cedars, and who was strong as an oak: and I destroyed his fruit from above, and his roots beneath.
“Nĩndanangire Aamori mehere mbere yao, o na gũtuĩka maarĩ araihu ta mĩtĩ ya mĩtarakwa, na marĩ na hinya ta mĩtĩ ya mĩgandi. Nĩndanangire matunda make kuuma na igũrũ, na ngĩananga mĩri yake kuuma na thĩ.
10 It is I that brought you up out of the land of Egypt, and I led you forty years through the wilderness, that you might possess the land of the Amorrhite.
“Ndakwambatirie ngĩkũruta bũrũri wa Misiri, na ngĩgũtongoria mĩaka mĩrongo ĩna kũu werũ-inĩ, nĩguo ngũhe bũrũri wa Aamori.
11 And I raised up of your sons for prophets, and of your young men for Nazarites. Is it not so, O ye children of Israel, saith the Lord?
Ningĩ nĩndarahũrire anabii kuuma kũrĩ ariũ aku, na ngĩarahũra Anaziri kuuma kũrĩ aanake aku. Githĩ ũcio ti ũhoro wa ma, inyuĩ andũ a Isiraeli?” ũguo nĩguo Jehova ekuuga.
12 And you will present wine to the Nazarites: and command the prophets, saying: Prophesy not.
“No inyuĩ nĩmwaheire Anaziri ndibei manyue, na mũgĩatha anabii matikanarathe ũndũ.
13 Behold, I will screak under you as a wain screaketh that is laden with hay.
“Na rĩrĩ, niĩ nĩngamũhehenja o ta ũrĩa ngaari ĩiyũrĩte ngano ĩhehenjaga.
14 And flight shall perish from the swift, and the valiant shall not possess his strength, neither shall the strong save his life.
Mũndũ ũrĩa ũrĩ ihenya ndakahota kwĩhonokia. Ũrĩa ũrĩ hinya ndagateithio nĩ hinya ũcio wake, nayo njamba ya ita ndĩkahonokia muoyo wayo.
15 And he that holdeth the bow shall not stand, and the swift of foot shall not escape, neither shall the rider of the horse save his life.
Mũrathi na mĩguĩ ndakeyũmĩrĩria, na mũthigari ũrĩa ũhiũkaga ndakahota kũũra, na ũrĩa ũhaicĩte mbarathi ndakahonokia muoyo wake.
16 And the stout of heart among the valiant shall flee away naked in that day, saith the Lord.
O nacio njamba cia ita iria nyũmĩrĩru mũno, ikoora irĩ njaga mũthenya ũcio,” ũguo nĩguo Jehova ekuuga.
