Amos 3
1 Hear this word that YHWH has spoken concerning you, O sons of Israel, concerning all the family that I brought up from the land of Egypt, saying,
Ta iguai ũhoro ũyũ Jehova aarĩtie wa kũmũũkĩrĩra, inyuĩ andũ a Isiraeli, ũira wa gũũkĩrĩra nyũmba yothe ĩrĩa ndaarutire bũrũri wa Misiri:
2 “Only you have I known of all families of the earth, Therefore I charge on you all your iniquities.”
“Inyuĩ no inyuĩ ndĩthuurĩire kuuma harĩ nyũmba ciothe cia thĩ; nĩ ũndũ ũcio nĩngamũherithia tondũ wa mehia manyu mothe.”
3 Do two walk together if they have not met?
Andũ eerĩ maahota gũtwarana atĩa matarĩ na karĩĩko?
4 Does a lion roar in a forest and he has no prey? Does a young lion give out his voice from his habitation, If he has not caught?
Mũrũũthi-rĩ, nĩũraramaga kĩhinga-inĩ ũtarĩ kĩndũ ũnyiitĩte? Nĩũraramaga ũrĩ kĩmamo-inĩ ũtanyiitĩte kĩndũ?
5 Does a bird fall into a snare of the earth, And there is no trap for it? Does a snare go up from the ground, And it does not capture prey?
Nyoni-rĩ, no ĩgwe thĩ mũtego-inĩ hatarĩ kĩndũ gĩa kũmĩheenereria? Mũtego-rĩ, no ũtegũke, uume thĩ ũtagwatĩtie kĩndũ?
6 Is a horn blown in a city, And do people not tremble? Is there affliction in a city, And YHWH has not done [it]?
Karumbeta no kahuhwo itũũra-inĩ inene, na andũ mage gwĩtigĩra? Mũtino no ũũke itũũra-inĩ inene, na gũtuĩke ti Jehova ũũrehete?
7 For Lord YHWH does nothing, Except He has revealed His counsel to His servants the prophets.
Ti-itherũ Mwathani Jehova ndarĩ ũndũ angĩĩka atamenyithĩtie anabii, ndungata ciake, ũrĩa atuĩte gwĩka.
8 A lion has roared—who does not fear? Lord YHWH has spoken—who does not prophesy?
Mũrũũthi nĩũraramĩte, nũũ ũtangĩĩtigĩra? Mwathani Jehova nĩarĩtie, nũũ ũtangĩratha maũndũ?
9 “Sound to palaces in Ashdod, And to palaces in the land of Egypt, and say: Be gathered on mountains of Samaria, And see many troubles within her, And oppressed ones in her midst.
Anĩrĩrai mwĩre ciĩhitho iria nũmu cia Ashidodi, na ciĩhitho iria nũmu cia bũrũri wa Misiri ũciĩre atĩrĩ: “Ũnganai irĩma igũrũ cia Samaria, mwĩonere inegene inene rĩrĩa rĩrĩ kuo, na ũhinyanĩrĩria ũrĩa ũrĩ thĩinĩ wa andũ.”
10 And they have not known to act straightforwardly,” A declaration of YHWH, “Who are treasuring up violence and spoil in their palaces.”
Jehova ekuuga atĩrĩ: “Andũ arĩa mahĩbaga indo cia gũtunyana na indo cia ndaho kũu ciĩhitho-inĩ nũmu ciao, matiũĩ gwĩka ũrĩa kwagĩrĩire.”
11 Therefore, thus said Lord YHWH: “An adversary—and surrounding the land, And he has brought down your strength from you, And your palaces have been spoiled.”
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Mwathani Jehova ekuuga atĩrĩ, “Thũ nĩĩkaharagania bũrũri; nĩĩgatharia ciĩgitĩro cianyu cia hinya, na ciĩhitho cianyu nũmu nĩigatahwo.”
12 Thus said YHWH: “As the shepherd delivers from the lion’s mouth Two legs, or a piece of an ear, So the sons of Israel are delivered, Who are sitting in Samaria on the corner of a bed, And in Damascus [on that of] a couch.
Jehova ekuuga atĩrĩ: “O ta ũrĩa mũrĩithi angĩteithũra magũrũ meerĩ kana gacunjĩ ga gũtũ kuuma kanua ka mũrũũthi, ũguo noguo andũ a Isiraeli makaahonokio, acio maikaraga Samaria maikarĩire mĩthia ya marĩrĩ mao, o na arĩa maikarĩire itanda ciao marĩ Dameski.”
13 Hear and testify to the house of Jacob,” A declaration of Lord YHWH, God of Hosts.
Mwathani Jehova, Ngai Mwene-Hinya-Wothe, ekuuga atĩrĩ: “Ta iguai ũhoro ũyũ, na inyuĩ mũrute ũira wa gũũkĩrĩra nyũmba ya Jakubu.
14 “For in the day of My charging the transgressions of Israel on him, I have laid a charge on the altars of Beth-El, And the horns of the altar have been cut off, And they have fallen to the earth.
“Mũthenya ũrĩa ngaaherithia Isiraeli nĩ ũndũ wa mehia make-rĩ, nĩngananga igongona cia Betheli; na ndinie hĩa cia kĩgongona kĩu igwe thĩ.
15 And I have struck the winter-house with the summer-house, And houses of ivory have perished, And many houses have been consumed,” A declaration of YHWH!
Nĩngatharia nyũmba ya hĩndĩ ya gathano, o hamwe na nyũmba ya hĩndĩ ya riũa; nyũmba iria ngʼemie na mĩguongo nĩikaanangwo, nacio nyũmba iria nene mũno nĩikamomorwo,” ũguo nĩguo Jehova ekuuga.
