Amos 5
1 Hear ye this word which I take up for a lamentation over you, O house of Israel:
Chikuru itu un dhood Israel mondo uwinjie wende ywak ma asechuogonu:
2 The virgin of Israel is fallen, she shall no more rise; she is cast down upon her land, there is none to raise her up.
“Israel ma en nyako ngili koro osepodho, kendo ok nochak oa malo, nimar osepodho e pinye owuon maonge ngʼama nyalo chunge.”
3 For thus saith the Lord GOD: The city that went forth a thousand shall have a hundred left, and that which went forth a hundred shall have ten left, of the house of Israel.
Jehova Nyasaye Manyalo Gik Moko Duto wacho niya, “Dala maduongʼ mane ooro joge mag lweny alufu achiel mondo oked ne jo-Israel, mia achiel kende ema biro duogo, to mano mooro joge mag lweny mia achiel, apar kende ema biro duogo.”
4 For thus saith the LORD unto the house of Israel: Seek ye Me, and live;
Jehova Nyasaye wacho ni dhood Israel niya, “Dwarauru eka unubed mangima,
5 But seek not Beth-el, nor enter into Gilgal, and pass not to Beer-sheba; for Gilgal shall surely go into captivity, and Beth-el shall come to nought.
kik udhi Bethel, kendo kik udhi Gilgal, to bende kik ukadhi nyaka Bersheba, nimar jo-Gilgal duto ibiro daro matergi e twech, kendo Bethel biro mana lal nono.”
6 Seek the LORD, and live — lest He break out like fire in the house of Joseph, and it devour, and there be none to quench it in Bethel —
Dwaruru Jehova Nyasaye eka unubed mangima, nono to obiro tieko joka Josef ka mach mawengʼo, en mach mabiro wangʼo jo-Bethel maonge ngʼama nyalo nego.
7 Ye who turn judgment to wormwood, and cast righteousness to the ground;
Mano en wach manade ka uloko bura makare bedo lit, kendo utuono joga gik monego giyudi.
8 Him that maketh the Pleiades and Orion, and bringeth on the shadow of death in the morning, and darkeneth the day into night; that calleth for the waters of the sea, and poureth them out upon the face of the earth; the LORD is His name;
Jehova Nyasaye ema nochweyo Yugni gi Ratego, en ema omiyo piny ru, kendo yuso, en bende ema oluongo pi nam mondo obi, kendo ologi e piny, nyinge iluongo ni Jehova Nyasaye.
9 That causeth destruction to flash upon the strong, so that destruction cometh upon the fortress.
En ema oketho mier mochiel motegno kendo omuko ohinga mag dala.
10 They hate him that reproveth in the gate, and they abhor him that speaketh uprightly.
Un umon gi ngʼama odonjo ni jaketho, kendo usin gi ngʼat mawacho adiera.
11 Therefore, because ye trample upon the poor, and take from him exactions of wheat; ye have built houses of hewn stone, but ye shall not dwell in them, ye have planted pleasant vineyards, but ye shall not drink wine thereof.
Usethiro joma odhier ma kata cham matin magin godo usechunogi ma gimiyou kaka asoya. Kuom mano, usegero udi mabeyo mag kidi, to ok unudagie, to bende ok unumadhi divai mag mzabibu mabeyo musepidho,
12 For I know how manifold are your transgressions, and how mighty are your sins; ye that afflict the just, that take a ransom, and that turn aside the needy in the gate.
nikech aneno ka un kod ketho mangʼeny kendo richou sani okadho akwana, nikech usando joma ungʼeyo ni onge gi ketho, kendo uchamo asoya, to kata mana joma odhier manie dieru bende utamo mondo kik yud bura makare.
13 Therefore the prudent doth keep silence in such a time; for it is an evil time.
Emomiyo ngʼat mariek lingʼ alingʼa e kinde ma kama nikech gin kinde mag richo.
14 Seek good, and not evil, that ye may live; and so the LORD, the God of hosts, will be with you, as ye say.
Dwaruru ber, to ok rach, mondo ubed mangima, eka Jehova Nyasaye, ma en Nyasaye Maratego nobed kodu mana kaka uparono.
15 Hate the evil, and love the good, and establish justice in the gate; it may be that the LORD, the God of hosts, will be gracious unto the remnant of Joseph.
Beduru mamon gi timbe maricho, to heruru timbe mabeyo; ngʼaduru bura makare e ute buche. Ka utimo kamano, to dipo ka Jehova Nyasaye, ma Nyasaye Maratego nyalo timo ngʼwono ni joka Josef mane otony oa e twech.
16 Therefore thus saith the LORD, the God of hosts, the Lord: Lamentation shall be in all the broad places, and they shall say in all the streets: 'Alas! alas!' and they shall call the husbandman to mourning, and proclaim lamentation to such as are skilful of wailing.
Kuom mano, Ruoth Nyasaye, ma en Jehova Nyasaye Maratego wacho niya, “Ywak biro winjore e yore duto mag dala, kendo ji magoyo nduru ibiro winjo kuonde mag chokruok; jopur bende noluong mondo oywagi kaachiel gi joma olony e ywak.
17 And in all vineyards shall be lamentation; for I will pass through the midst of thee, saith the LORD.
E puothe duto mag mzabibu ywak nobedie, nikech abiro biro mondo amiu kum,” Jehova Nyasaye owacho.
18 Woe unto you that desire the day of the LORD! Wherefore would ye have the day of the LORD? It is darkness, and not light.
Yaye unune malit un joma gombo mondo odiechieng Jehova Nyasaye ochopi! En angʼo momiyo ugombo odiechiengno mar Jehova Nyasaye mondo ochopi? Enobed chiengʼ mudho to ok chiengʼ ler!
19 As if a man did flee from a lion, and a bear met him; and went into the house and leaned his hand on the wall, and a serpent bit him.
Chiengʼno nochal mana gi ngʼat ma sibuor lawo, to oromo gi ondiek, kata nochal gi ngʼat modonjo e ot, moyiengo lwete e kor ot, mi thuol okaye!
20 Shall not the day of the LORD be darkness, and not light? Even very dark, and no brightness in it?
Donge odiechiengno mar Jehova Nyasaye nobed odiechieng mudho mandiwa, molil maonge chiengʼ ler, kendo ma chiengʼ ok norienyie?
21 I hate, I despise your feasts, and I will take no delight in your solemn assemblies.
“Asin kendo amon gi sewni mutimona, bende ok amor gi chokruok mau ma ulosona.
22 Yea, though ye offer me burnt-offerings and your meal-offerings, I will not accept them; neither will I regard the peace-offerings of your fat beasts.
Kata obedo ni ukelona misengini miwangʼo pep kod misengini mag cham, to ok anayiego; bende kata obedo ni ukelona misengini mag lalruok to ok abi yiego.
23 Take thou away from Me the noise of thy songs; and let Me not hear the melody of thy psalteries.
Weuru baro wiya gi wendeu mag pak, nikech ok adwar winjo thumbe mugoyogo.
24 But let justice well up as waters, and righteousness as a mighty stream.
Weuru mondo bura makare ema mondo omol ka pi aora, kendo tim makare ema omol ka aora ma ok dwon.
25 Did ye bring unto Me sacrifices and offerings in the wilderness forty years, O house of Israel?
“Yaye jo-Israel, bende ne ukelona misengini kata chiwo moro amora kuom higni piero angʼwen mane un e thim?
26 So shall ye take up Siccuth your king and Chiun your images, the star of your god, which ye made to yourselves.
Ne utingʼo kuonde lemo mag ruodhu malo, ne utingʼo nyiseche manono, mag sulwe ma Sakuth gi Kaiwan, mane uloso ni un uwegi,
27 Therefore will I cause you to go into captivity beyond Damascus, saith He, whose name is the LORD God of hosts.
omiyo abiro darou mi ateru e piny twech mabor mayombo Damaski,” Jehova Nyasaye, ma nyinge en Nyasaye Maratego, ema owacho.
