< Amos 8 >
1 Thus hath the Lord God shewed vnto me, and behold, a basket of summer fruite.
Mwathani Jehova aanyonirie ũũ: aanyonirie gĩkabũ kĩrĩ na matunda meeru.
2 And he said, Amos, what seest thou? And I sayd, A basket of sommer fruite. Then sayd the Lord vnto me, The ende is come vpon my people of Israel, I wil passe by them no more.
Nake akĩnjũũria atĩrĩ, “Amosi, nĩ kĩĩ kĩu ũroona?” Ngĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Ndĩrona gĩkabũ kĩrĩ na matunda meeru.” Ningĩ Jehova akĩnjĩĩra atĩrĩ, “Ihinda rĩa mũthia nĩ ikinyu rĩa andũ akwa a Isiraeli; ndigacooka kũmaiguĩra tha rĩngĩ.”
3 And the songs of the Temple shalbe howlings in that day, saith the Lord God: many dead bodies shalbe in euery place: they shall cast them forth with silence.
Mwathani Jehova ekuuga atĩrĩ, “Mũthenya ũcio-rĩ, nyĩmbo iria ciinagwo kũu hekarũ-inĩ ikaagarũrũka ituĩke kĩrĩro. Ciimba nyingĩ mũno igaateagwo kũndũ guothe gũkirĩtwo ki!”
4 Heare this, O yee that swallowe vp the poore, that ye may make the needie of the lande to fayle,
Iguai ũndũ ũyũ inyuĩ arĩa mũrangagĩrĩria abatari na mũkaniina athĩĩni a bũrũri,
5 Saying, When will the newe moneth bee gone, that we may sell corne? and the Sabbath, that we may set forth wheate, and make the Ephah small, and the shekel great, and falsifie the weights by deceit?
mũkĩũragia atĩrĩ, “Karũgamo ka Mweri gagaathira-rĩ, nĩguo twendie irio, na Thabatũ ĩthire, nĩguo twendie ngano, tũkĩnyiihagia ithimi, tũkĩongagĩrĩra thogora, na tũkĩheenanagia na ratiri itarĩ cia ma;
6 That we may buy the poore for siluer, and the needie for shooes: yea, and sell the refuse of the wheate.
tũgũrage athĩĩni na betha, nao arĩa abatari tũkamagũra na nyamũga igĩrĩ, o na twendagie magira hamwe na ngano.”
7 The Lord hath sworne by the excellencie of Iaakob, Surely I will neuer forget any of their workes.
Jehova o we ũrĩa Jakubu etĩĩagĩra, ehĩtĩte akoiga atĩrĩ, “Ndirĩ hĩndĩ ngariganĩrwo nĩ ciĩko ciothe iria maneeka.
8 Shall not the lande tremble for this, and euery one mourne, that dwelleth therein? and it shall rise vp wholy as a flood, and it shall bee cast out, and drowned as by the flood of Egypt.
“Githĩ bũrũri ndũkainaina nĩ ũndũ wa ũguo, na arĩa othe matũũraga kuo macakae? Bũrũri wothe nĩkũiyũra ũkaiyũra ta Rũũĩ rwa Nili, ũhũũrane, na ũcooke ũhũũcũke ta rũũĩ rwa Misiri.”
9 And in that day, saith the Lord God, I will euen cause the sunne to go downe at noone: and I will darken the earth in the cleare day.
Mwathani Jehova ekuuga atĩrĩ, “Mũthenya ũcio-rĩ, “nĩngatũma riũa rĩthũe mĩaraho, na ndũme thĩ kũgĩe nduma mũthenya barigici.
10 And I will turne your feastes into mourning, and all your songs into lamentation: and I will bring sackcloth vpon all loynes, and baldnes vpon euery head: and I will make it as the mourning of an onely sonne, and the ende thereof as a bitter day.
Nĩngagarũra ciathĩ cianyu ituĩke macakaya, na kũina kwanyu guothe gũtuĩke kĩrĩro. Nĩngatũma inyuothe mwĩhumbe makũnia, na ndĩmwenje mĩtwe. Nĩngatũma ihinda rĩu rĩhaane ta hĩndĩ ya macakaya ma mwana wa mũmwe, naguo mũthia warĩo ũtuĩke ta mũthenya mũrũrũ.”
11 Beholde, the dayes come, sayeth the Lord God, that I will send a famine in the lande, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the word of the Lord.
Mwathani Jehova ekuuga atĩrĩ: “Matukũ nĩmarooka, rĩrĩa ngaatũma ngʼaragu bũrũri-inĩ, na ti ngʼaragu ya irio kana nyoota wa maaĩ, no nĩ ngʼaragu ya kũigua ciugo cia Jehova.
12 And they shall wander from sea to sea, and from the North euen vnto the East shall they run to and from to seeke the worde of the Lord, and shall not finde it.
Andũ magaatũgũũgaga kuuma iria-inĩ rĩmwe nginya rĩrĩa rĩngĩ, na morũũrage kuuma gathigathini nginya irathĩro, magĩcaria kiugo kĩa Jehova, no matigakĩona.
13 In that day shall the faire virgines and the yong men perish for thirst.
“Mũthenya ũcio-rĩ, “airĩtu arĩa ciĩrorerwa na aanake arĩa marĩ hinya nĩmakaringĩka nĩ nyoota.
14 They that sweare by the sinne of Samaria, and that say, Thy God, O Dan, liueth, and the maner of Beer-sheba liueth, euen they shall fall, and neuer rise vp againe.
Acio mehĩtaga na thoni cia Samaria, kana makoiga atĩrĩ, ‘Ti-itherũ o ta ũrĩa ngai ĩyo yaku ĩtũũraga muoyo wee Dani’, o na kana makoiga atĩrĩ, ‘Ti-itherũ o ta ũrĩa ngai ĩyo ya Birishiba itũũraga muoyo’: nĩmakaagũa, na maticooke gũũkĩra rĩngĩ.”
