< Amos 1 >

1 The words of Amos, who was among herdsmen of Thecua: which he saw concerning Israel in the days of Ozias king of Juda, and in the days of Jeroboam the son of Joas king of Israel two years before the earthquake.
Magi e weche Amos mane en achiel kuom jokwath mane odak Tekoa. Wechegi ne oneno kuom Israel higni ariyo kane piny pok oyiengni, kendo e kindeno Uzia ema ne ruodh Juda, to Jeroboam ma wuod Joash to ne ruodh Israel.
2 And he said: The Lord will roar from Sion, and utter his voice from Jerusalem: and the beautiful places of the shepherds have mourned, and the top of Carmel is withered.
Nowacho niya, “Jehova Nyasaye ruto koa Sayun, kendo dwonde mor koa Jerusalem; lege ma jokwath kwayoe two, kendo wi got Karmel mosebedo ka ngʼich koro ner.”
3 Thus saith the Lord: For three crimes of Damascus, and for four I will not convert it: because they have thrashed Galaad with iron wains.
Jehova Nyasaye wacho niya, “Jo-Damaski osebedo katimo richo mangʼeny, omiyo ok abi weyo ma ok akumogi. Nikech gisesando jo-Gilead, ka gigoyogi kod gima bith molos gi nyinyo,
4 And I will send a fire into the house of Azael, and it shall devour the houses of Benadad.
kuom mano abiro oro mach e od Hazael, ma biro wangʼo ohinga mochiel motegno mag Ben-Hadad.
5 And I will break the bar of Damascus: and I will cut off the inhabitants from the plain of the idol, and him that holdeth the sceptre from the house of pleasure: and the people of Syria shall be carried away to Cyrene, saith the Lord.
Abiro muko dhoranga Damaski, kendo abiro riembo joma odak e Holo mar Aven, kaachiel gi ngʼat motingʼo ludh Jehova Nyasaye man Beth Eden. Jo-Aram ibiro dar miter mabor e twech e piny Kir,” Jehova Nyasaye owacho.
6 Thus saith the Lord: For three crimes of Gaza, and for four I will not convert it: because they have carried away a perfect captivity to shut them up in Edom.
Jehova Nyasaye wacho niya, “Jo-Gaza osebedo katimo richo mangʼeny, omiyo ok abi weyo ma ok akumogi. Nikech gisemako ogendini duto mi giterogi e twech e piny Edom,
7 And I will send a fire on the wall of Gaza, and it shall devour the houses thereof.
kuom mano abiro oro mach mi owangʼ ohinga mag Gaza mochiel motegno.
8 And I will cut off the inhabitant from Azotus, and him that holdeth the sceptre from Ascalon: and I will turn my hand against Accaron, and the rest of the Philistines shall perish, saith the Lord God.
Abiro riembo ruodh Ashdod kaachiel gi ngʼat motingʼo ludh Jehova Nyasaye man Ashkelon. Abiro kumo dala mar Ekron, kendo abiro nego jo-Filistia duto modongʼ,” Jehova Nyasaye Manyalo Gik Moko Duto owacho.
9 Thus saith the Lord: For three crimes of Tyre, and for four I will not convert it: because they have shut up an entire captivity in Edom, and have not remembered the covenant of brethren.
Jehova Nyasaye wacho niya, “Nikech richo adek ma jo-Turo osetimo, kata richo angʼwen, omiyo ok abi weyo ma ok akumogi. Nikech gisemako ogendini duto mi giterogi e twech e piny Edom, ma ok girito winjruok mar osiep mane gitimo kodgi,
10 And I will send a fire upon the wall of Tyre, and it shall devour the houses thereof.
kuom mano abiro oro mach mi wangʼ ohinga mag Turo mochiel motegno.”
11 Thus saith the Lord: For three crimes of Edom, and for four I will not convert him: because he hath pursued his brother with the sword, and hath cast off all pity, and hath carried on his fury, and hath kept his wrath to the end.
Jehova Nyasaye wacho niya, “Nikech richo adek ma jo-Edom osetimo, kata richo angʼwen, omiyo ok abi weyo ma ok akumogi. Nikech nolawo owadgi gi ligangla ka oonge gi ngʼwono, kendo ne osiko mana ka omako kode sadha,
12 I will send a fire into Theman: and it shall devour the houses of Bosra.
kuom mano, abiro oro mach mi wangʼ Teman, kendo enowangʼ ohinga mochiel motegno mag Bozra.”
13 Thus saith the Lord: For three crimes of the children of Ammon, and for four I will not convert him: because he hath ripped up the women with child of Galaad to enlarge his border.
Jehova Nyasaye wacho niya, “Nikech richo adek ma jo-Amon osetimo, kata richo angʼwen, omiyo ok abi weyo ma ok akumogi. Nikech gisenego mine ma yach mag Gilead mondo omi giyar tongʼ mag lopegi,
14 And I will kindle a fire in the wall of Rabba: and it shall devour the houses thereof with shouting in the day of battle, and with a whirlwind in the day of trouble.
kuom mano abiro moko mach e ohinga mag Raba kendo abiro wangʼo kuonde mochiel motegno mag dalano. Mahu nowinjre chiengʼ kedo kendo lweny nobed mager.
15 And Melchom shall go into captivity, both he, and his princes together, saith the Lord.
Ruodhigi kaachiel gi jodong-gi ibiro daro miter e twech,” Jehova Nyasaye owacho.
