< Amos 1 >

1 THE WORDS of Amos, who was among the herdmen of Tekoa, which he saw concerning Israel in the days of Uzziah king of Judah, and in the days of Jeroboam the son of Joash 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 roareth from Zion, and uttereth His voice from Jerusalem; and the pastures of the shepherds shall mourn, and the top of Carmel shall wither.
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 For thus saith the LORD: For three transgressions of Damascus, yea, for four, I will not reverse it: because they have threshed Gilead with sledges of iron.
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 So will I send a fire into the house of Hazael, and it shall devour the palaces of Ben-hadad;
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 cut off the inhabitant from Bikath-Aven, and him that holdeth the sceptre from Beth-eden; and the people of Aram shall go into captivity unto Kir, 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 transgressions of Gaza, yea, for four, I will not reverse it: because they carried away captive a whole captivity, to deliver them up to 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 So will I send a fire on the wall of Gaza, and it shall devour the palaces thereof;
kuom mano abiro oro mach mi owangʼ ohinga mag Gaza mochiel motegno.
8 And I will cut off the inhabitant from Ashdod, and him that holdeth the sceptre from Ashkelon; and I will turn My hand against Ekron, and the remnant 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 transgressions of Tyre, yea, for four, I will not reverse it: because they delivered up a whole captivity to Edom, and remembered not the brotherly covenant.
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 So will I send a fire on the wall of Tyre, and it shall devour the palaces thereof.
kuom mano abiro oro mach mi wangʼ ohinga mag Turo mochiel motegno.”
11 Thus saith the LORD: For three transgressions of Edom, yea, for four, I will not reverse it: because he did pursue his brother with the sword, and did cast off all pity, and his anger did tear perpetually, and he kept his wrath for ever.
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 So will I send a fire upon Teman, and it shall devour the palaces of Bozrah.
kuom mano, abiro oro mach mi wangʼ Teman, kendo enowangʼ ohinga mochiel motegno mag Bozra.”
13 Thus saith the LORD: For three transgressions of the children of Ammon, yea, for four, I will not reverse it: because they have ripped up the women with child of Gilead, that they might enlarge their 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 So will I kindle a fire in the wall of Rabbah, and it shall devour the palaces thereof, with shouting in the day of battle, with a tempest in the day of the whirlwind;
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 their king shall go into captivity, he and his princes together, saith the LORD.
Ruodhigi kaachiel gi jodong-gi ibiro daro miter e twech,” Jehova Nyasaye owacho.
