Amos 7
1 This is what Jehovah showed me: And look, he formed locusts in the beginning of the shooting up of the latter growth; and look, it was the latter growth after the king's harvest.
Mwathani Jehova aanyonirie ũũ: Nĩkũhaarĩria aharagĩria mĩrumbĩ ya ngigĩ thuutha wa magetha marĩa maagethagĩrwo mũthamaki, o ihinda rĩrĩa kĩmera gĩa keerĩ kĩambagĩrĩria.
2 It happened that, when they made an end of eating the grass of the land, then I said, "Lord Jehovah, forgive, I beg you. How could Jacob stand? For he is small."
Ciarĩkia kũrĩa tũhuti tuothe, bũrũri ũgĩthera biũ, ngĩkaya ngiuga atĩrĩ, “Mwathani Jehova, marekere! Jakubu-rĩ, angĩhonoka gĩkuũ atĩa? Nĩgũkorwo nĩ mũnini mũno!”
3 Jehovah relented concerning this. "It shall not be," says Jehovah.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Jehova akĩigua tha. Jehova akiuga atĩrĩ, “Ũndũ ũcio ndũgwĩkĩka.”
4 This is what Jehovah showed me: And look, Jehovah called for judgment by fire; and it dried up the great deep, and would have devoured the land.
Ningĩ Mwathani Jehova akĩnyonia ũũ: Mwathani Jehova nĩ gwĩtia eetagia mwaki amaciirithie naguo; mwaki ũcio ũkĩniaria maaĩ ma kũrĩa kũriku mũno, na ũkĩniina bũrũri.
5 Then I said, "Jehovah, stop, I beg you. How could Jacob stand? For he is small."
Ningĩ ngĩkaya, ngiuga atĩrĩ, “Mwathani Jehova ndagũthaitha, tiga! Jakubu-rĩ, angĩhonoka gĩkuũ atĩa? Nĩgũkorwo nĩ mũnini mũno!”
6 Jehovah relented concerning this. "This also shall not be," says Jehovah.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Jehova akĩigua tha. Mwathani Jehova akiuga atĩrĩ, “Ũndũ ũcio o naguo ndũgwĩkĩka.”
7 This is what Jehovah showed me: And look, he was standing beside a wall built with a plumb line, with a plumb line in his hand.
Ningĩ akĩnyonia ũũ: Mwathani aarũgamĩte rũthingo-inĩ rwakĩtwo na rũgathimwo wega na kabirũ nake anyiitĩte rũrigi rwa kabirũ na guoko.
8 And Jehovah said to me, "Amos, what do you see?" And I said, "A plumb line." Then Jehovah said, "Look, I have set a plumb line in the midst of my people Israel. I will not again pass by them any more.
Nake Jehova akĩnjũũria atĩrĩ, “Amosi, nĩ kĩĩ ũroona”? Na niĩ ngĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ: “Nĩ kabirũ ndĩrona.” Ningĩ Jehova akĩnjĩĩra atĩrĩ, nĩ kabirũ ndĩracuuria gatagatĩ ka andũ akwa a Isiraeli, ndigacooka kũmaiguĩra tha rĩngĩ.
9 The high places of Isaac will be desolate, the sanctuaries of Israel will be laid waste; and I will rise against the house of Jeroboam with the sword."
“Kũndũ kũrĩa gũtũũgĩru kwa Isaaka nĩgũkaniinwo, na kũndũ kũrĩa kwamũre kwa Isiraeli nĩgũkanangwo; na nĩngokĩrĩra nyũmba ya Jeroboamu na rũhiũ rwakwa rwa njora.”
10 Then Amaziah the priest of Bethel sent to Jeroboam king of Israel, saying, "Amos has conspired against you in the midst of the house of Israel. The land is not able to bear all his words.
Nake Amazia mũthĩnjĩri-ngai wa Betheli agĩtũmana kũrĩ Jeroboamu, mũthamaki wa Isiraeli, akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Amosi nĩagũciirĩire agũũkĩrĩre arĩ o gũkũ thĩinĩ wa Isiraeli. Bũrũri ndũngĩhota gũkirĩrĩria ndeto ciake ciothe.
11 For Amos says, 'Jeroboam will die by the sword, and Israel shall surely be led away captive out of his land.'"
Nĩgũkorwo Amosi aroiga atĩrĩ: “‘Jeroboamu akooragwo na rũhiũ rwa njora, na ti-itherũ andũ a Isiraeli nĩmagatahwo, matwarwo kũraya na bũrũri wao.’”
12 Amaziah also said to Amos, "You seer, go, flee away into the land of Judah, and there eat bread, and prophesy there:
Ningĩ Amazia akĩĩra Amosi atĩrĩ, “Umagara wee muoni-maũndũ ũyũ! Cooka bũrũri wa Juda. Wĩcaragĩrie gĩa kũrĩa kuo, na ũrathage maũndũ ũrĩ kuo.
13 but do not prophesy again any more at Bethel; for it is the king's sanctuary, and it is a royal house."
Ndũkaarathĩre ũhoro rĩngĩ gũkũ Betheli tondũ gũkũ nĩkuo kwamũrĩirwo gĩikaro kĩa mũthamaki na hekarũ ya ũthamaki.”
14 Then Amos answered Amaziah, "I was no prophet, neither was I a prophet's son; but I was a herdsman, and a farmer of sycamore figs;
Amosi agĩcookeria Amazia atĩrĩ, “Niĩ-rĩ, ndiarĩ mũnabii kana mũrũ wa mũnabii, no ndaarĩ mũrĩithi wa mahiũ na ningĩ mũmenyereri wa mĩkũyũ.
15 and Jehovah took me from following the flock, and Jehovah said to me, 'Go, prophesy to my people Israel.'
No Jehova akĩnduta rũũru-inĩ rwa mahiũ akĩnjĩĩra atĩrĩ, ‘Thiĩ ũkarathĩre andũ akwa a Isiraeli ũhoro.’
16 Now therefore listen to the word of Jehovah: 'You say, Do not prophesy against Israel, and do not proclaim against the house of Isaac.'
Na rĩrĩ, kĩigue ũhoro wa Jehova. Wee ũroiga atĩrĩ, “‘Ndũkarathĩre Isiraeli ũndũ mũũru, na ũtige kũhunjia maũndũ ma gũũkĩrĩra nyũmba ya Isaaka.’
17 Therefore thus says Jehovah: 'Your wife shall be a prostitute in the city, and your sons and your daughters shall fall by the sword, and your land shall be divided by line; and you yourself shall die in a land that is unclean, and Israel shall surely be led away captive out of his land.'"
“Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Jehova ekuuga ũũ: “‘Mũtumia waku nĩagatuĩka mũmaraya itũũra-inĩ inene, nao aanake aku na airĩtu aku makooragwo na rũhiũ rwa njora. Bũrũri waku ũgaathimwo na ũgayanio, na wee mwene-rĩ, ũgaakuĩra bũrũri wa andũ matooĩ Ngai. Na ti-itherũ andũ a Isiraeli no nginya magaatahwo, matwarwo kũraya na bũrũri wao.’”
