Amos 3
1 Heare this worde that the Lord pronounceth against you, O children of Israel, euen against the whole familie which I brought vp from the land of Egypt, saying,
Nụrụnụ okwu ndị a nke Onyenwe anyị kwuru megide unu, unu ndị Izrel, megidekwa ezinaụlọ ahụ niile nke m kpọpụtara site nʼala Ijipt.
2 You onely haue I knowen of all the families of the earth: therefore I will visite you for all your iniquities.
“Naanị unu ka m họọrọ nʼime ezinaụlọ niile nke nọ nʼelu ụwa; Ọ bụ nʼihi nke a ka m ga-eji nye unu ahụhụ nʼihi mmehie unu niile.”
3 Can two walke together except they bee agreed?
Mmadụ abụọ ga-esi aṅaa jekọọ ije ma ọ bụrụ na ha enweghị nkwekọrịta?
4 Will a lion roare in ye forest, when he hath no pray? or wil a lions whelpe cry out of his den, if he haue taken nothing?
Ọdụm ọ na-agbọ ụja nʼọhịa ma ọ bụrụ na o nweghị anụ ọ hụrụ? Nwa ọdụm ọ na-ebigbọ nʼime olulu ya, mgbe ọ dịghị anụ ọ dọgburu?
5 Can a birde fall in a snare vpon the earth, where no fouler is? or will he take vp the snare from the earth, and haue taken nothing at all?
Nnụnụ ọ na-ama nʼọnya dị nʼala ma ọ bụrụ na o nweghị ọnya e siri ijide ya? Ọnya e siiri anụ ọ na-akụchi ma ọ bụrụ na o nweghị ihe ọ matara?
6 Or shall a trumpet be blowen in the citie, and the people be not afraide? or shall there be euil in a citie, and the Lord hath not done it?
Mgbe a fụrụ opi nʼobodo, ọ bụ na ndị bi nʼime ya adịghị ama jijiji? Mgbe mbibi na ịla nʼiyi dakwasịrị obodo ọbụla ọ bụghị Onyenwe anyị mere ka ọ dị?
7 Surely the Lord God will doe nothing, but he reueileth his secrete vnto his seruantes the Prophets.
Nʼezie Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị adịghị eme ihe ọbụla tutu ruo mgbe o buru ụzọ gosi ya ndị na-ejere ya ozi bụ ndị amụma.
8 The lyon hath roared: who will not bee afraide? the Lord God hath spoken: who can but prophecie?
Ọdụm agbọọla ụja, o nwere onye na-agaghị atụ egwu? Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị ekwuola okwu, onye ga-ahapụ ibu amụma?
9 Proclayme in the palaces at Ashdod, and in the palaces in the lande of Egypt, and saye, Assemble your selues vpon the mountaines of Samaria: so beholde the great tumultes in the middes thereof, and the oppressed in the middes thereof.
Kwusaanụ ya nʼobodo niile e wusiri ike nke Ashdọd na ebe niile e wusiri ike nke Ijipt, sị, “Zukọtanụ nʼelu ugwu niile nke Sameria ka unu hụ oke ọgbaaghara nke dị nʼetiti ya na mmegbu niile nke dị nʼetiti ndị ya.”
10 For they knowe not to doe right, sayth the Lord: they store vp violence, and robbery in their palaces.
“Ha echezọọla ime ezi ihe.” Otu a ka Onyenwe anyị kwupụtara, “bụ ndị ahụ na-akpakọba ihe e zutere nʼohi na ihe e sitere nʼaka ike pụnara ndị mmadụ nʼime nʼụlọ ha niile e wusiri ike.”
11 Therefore thus saith the Lord God, An aduersary shall come euen rounde about the countrey, and shall bring downe thy strength from thee, and thy palaces shalbe spoyled.
Nʼihi ya nke a bụ ihe Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị kwuru, “Onye iro na-abịa! Ọ ga-agba ala gị gburugburu; ọ ga-akwatu ebe niile gị bụ nke e wusiri ike, ma kwakọrọkwa ihe niile dị nʼụlọ gị ndị ahụ e wusiri ike.”
12 Thus saieth the Lord, As the shephearde taketh out of the mouth of the lyon two legges, or a piece of an eare: so shall the children of Israel be taken out that dwell in Samaria in the corner of a bed, and in Damascus, as in a couche.
Otu a ka Onyenwe anyị sịrị, “Dịka onye ọzụzụ atụrụ si anapụta naanị ọkpụkpụ ụkwụ abụọ maọbụ iberibe ntị site nʼọnụ ọdụm, otu a ka a ga-esi zọpụta ụmụ Izrel bi na Sameria, na nkuku isi ihe ndina na nʼiberibe akwa ọma site nʼelu ihe ndina.”
13 Heare, and testifie in the house of Iaakob, saith the Lord God, the God of hostes.
“Nụrụ nke a, ma gbaanụ ama megide ụmụ Jekọb,” ọ bụ otu a ka Onyenwe anyị, bụ Onyenwe anyị Chineke Onye pụrụ ime ihe niile, kwubiri.
14 Surely in the day that I shall visit the transgressions of Israel vpon him, I wil also visite the altars of Beth-el, and the hornes of the altar shall be broken off, and fall to the ground.
“Nʼụbọchị ahụ, m ga-enye Izrel ahụhụ nʼihi mmehie ha, aghaghị m imebikwa ebe ịchụ aja nke dị na Betel. Mpi dị nʼebe ịchụ aja ka a ga-ebipụkwa, mee ka ha daa nʼala.
15 And I wil smite the winter house with the sommer house, and the houses of yuorie shall perish, and the great houses shalbe consumed, sayth the Lord.
Aga m etida ụlọ ndị niile ha wuru maka oge oyi, na nke ha wuru maka oge okpomọkụ; aga m ebibikwa ụlọ ndị ahụ niile ha ji ọdụ enyi wuo. Ọtụtụ ebe obibi ha niile ka a ga-etitukwa.” Otu a ka Onyenwe anyị kwubiri ya.
