Amos 4
1 Hear this word, ye kine of Bashan, that [are] in the mountain of Samaria, which oppress the poor, which crush the needy, which say to their masters, Bring, and let us drink.
Ta iguai ũhoro ũyũ, inyuĩ ngʼombe cia Bashani mũrĩ kũu igũrũ rĩa Kĩrĩma gĩa Samaria, o inyuĩ andũ-a-nja arĩa mũhinyagĩrĩria athĩĩni na mũkahehenja arĩa abatari, na mũkeeraga athuuri anyu atĩrĩ: “Tũreherei ndibei tũnyue!”
2 The Lord GOD hath sworn by his holiness, that, lo, the days shall come upon you, that he will take you away with hooks, and your posterity with fishhooks.
Mwathani Jehova nĩehĩtĩte na ũtheru wake, akoiga atĩrĩ, “Ti-itherũ ihinda nĩrĩroka rĩrĩa mũkaguucũrũrio na mboorio, na ũrĩa wanyu ũgaatigara aguucũrũrio na ndwano.
3 And ye shall go out at the breaches, every [cow at that which is] before her; and ye shall cast [them] into the palace, saith the LORD.
Mũkoimio nja ũmwe kwa ũmwe, muumĩrio mĩanya-inĩ ya rũthingo, na mũikanio na kũu Harimoni,” ũguo nĩguo Jehova ekuuga.
4 Come to Beth-el, and transgress; at Gilgal multiply transgression; and bring your sacrifices every morning, [and] your tithes after three years:
“Thiĩi Betheli mũkeehie; o na thiĩi Giligali mũgakĩrĩrĩrie kwĩhia. Rutagai magongona manyu o rũciinĩ, mũrutage gĩcunjĩ kĩanyu gĩa ikũmi o mĩaka ĩtatũ.
5 And offer a sacrifice of thanksgiving with leaven, and proclaim [and] publish the free offerings: for this liketh you, O ye children of Israel, saith the Lord GOD.
Cinagai mĩgate ĩĩkĩrĩtwo ndawa ya kũimbia, ĩtuĩke igongona rĩa gũcookia ngaatho, na mwĩrahage nĩ ũndũ wa maruta manyu ma kwĩyendera, na mwĩtĩĩage nĩ ũndũ wamo, inyuĩ andũ a Isiraeli, nĩgũkorwo ũguo nĩguo mwendaga gwĩka,” ũguo nĩguo Mwathani Jehova ekuuga.
6 And I also have given you cleanness of teeth in all your cities, and want of bread in all your places: yet have ye not returned unto me, saith the LORD.
“Ndaatũmire mũhũte mũrĩ matũũra-inĩ manyu manene, na ngĩtũma mwage irio matũũra-inĩ, no rĩrĩ, inyuĩ mũtiigana kũnjookerera,” ũguo nĩguo Jehova ekuuga.
7 And also I have withholden the rain from you, when [there were] yet three months to the harvest: and I caused it to rain upon one city, and caused it not to rain upon another city: one piece was rained upon, and the piece whereupon it rained not withered.
“O na ningĩ ngĩmũima mbura, hĩndĩ ĩrĩa magetha maatigĩtie o mĩeri ĩtatũ. Nĩndoiririe mbura itũũra rĩmwe, no ngĩaga kuuria itũũra rĩrĩa rĩngĩ. Mũgũnda ũmwe ũkiurĩrwo; ũrĩa ũngĩ ũkĩaga kuurĩrwo, ũkĩũma.
8 So two [or] three cities wandered unto one city, to drink water; but they were not satisfied: yet have ye not returned unto me, saith the LORD.
Andũ magĩtũgũũga kuuma itũũra rĩmwe nginya rĩrĩa rĩngĩ magĩcaria maaĩ, no mationire maaĩ maiganu ma kũnyua, no rĩrĩ, inyuĩ mũtiigana kũnjookerera,” ũguo nĩguo Jehova ekuuga.
9 I have smitten you with blasting and mildew: when your gardens and your vineyards and your fig trees and your olive trees increased, the palmerworm devoured [them: ] yet have ye not returned unto me, saith the LORD.
“Mahinda maingĩ nĩndahũũrire mĩgũnda yanyu ya irio na ya mĩthabibũ, ngĩmĩhũũra na mbaa, na mbuu. Ngigĩ nĩciarĩire mĩtĩ yanyu ya mĩkũyũ na ya mĩtamaiyũ, no rĩrĩ, inyuĩ mũtiigana kũnjookerera,” ũguo nĩguo Jehova ekuuga.
10 I have sent among you the pestilence after the manner of Egypt: your young men have I slain with the sword, and have taken away your horses; and I have made the stink of your camps to come up unto your nostrils: yet have ye not returned unto me, saith the LORD.
“Nĩndamũrehithĩirie mĩthiro ta ũrĩa ndeekire bũrũri wa Misiri. Aanake anyu ngĩmoragithia na rũhiũ rwa njora, na ngĩmũtunya mbarathi cianyu. Ngĩtũma mũnungo wa ciimba kuuma kambĩ yanyu ũnungĩrĩre maniũrũ manyu, no rĩrĩ, inyuĩ mũtiigana kũnjookerera,” ũguo nĩguo Jehova ekuuga.
11 I have overthrown [some] of you, as God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah, and ye were as a firebrand plucked out of the burning: yet have ye not returned unto me, saith the LORD.
“Nĩndangʼaũranirie amwe anyu ta ũrĩa ndangʼaũranirie Sodomu na Gomora. Mwahaanaga ta gĩcinga kĩraakana kĩrutĩtwo mwaki-inĩ, no rĩrĩ, inyuĩ mũtiigana kũnjookerera,” ũguo nĩguo Jehova ekuuga.
12 Therefore thus will I do unto thee, O Israel: [and] because I will do this unto thee, prepare to meet thy God, O Israel.
“Nĩ ũndũ ũcio, ũũ nĩguo ngũgwĩka wee Isiraeli, na tondũ nĩngũgwĩka ũguo-rĩ, wĩhaarĩrie gũtũngana na Ngai waku, wee Isiraeli.”
13 For, lo, he that formeth the mountains, and createth the wind, and declareth unto man what [is] his thought, that maketh the morning darkness, and treadeth upon the high places of the earth, The LORD, The God of hosts, [is] his name.
Ũrĩa ũmbaga irĩma nowe ũmbaga rũhuho, na akaguũrĩria mũndũ meciiria make, o we ũtũmaga rũciinĩ kũgĩe nduma, na agathiĩra thĩ kũrĩa gũtũũgĩru, rĩĩtwa rĩake nĩ Jehova Ngai Mwene-Hinya-Wothe.
