Amos 8
1 This is what the LORD showed me: And look, a basket of summer fruit.
Mwathani Jehova aanyonirie ũũ: aanyonirie gĩkabũ kĩrĩ na matunda meeru.
2 He said, "Amos, what do you see?" I said, "A basket of summer fruit." Then the LORD said to me, "The end has come on my people Israel. I will not again pass by them any more.
Nake akĩnjũũria atĩrĩ, “Amosi, nĩ kĩĩ kĩu ũroona?” Ngĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Ndĩrona gĩkabũ kĩrĩ na matunda meeru.” Ningĩ Jehova akĩnjĩĩra atĩrĩ, “Ihinda rĩa mũthia nĩ ikinyu rĩa andũ akwa a Isiraeli; ndigacooka kũmaiguĩra tha rĩngĩ.”
3 The songs of the temple will be wailings in that day," says the LORD. "The dead bodies will be many. In every place they will throw them out with silence.
Mwathani Jehova ekuuga atĩrĩ, “Mũthenya ũcio-rĩ, nyĩmbo iria ciinagwo kũu hekarũ-inĩ ikaagarũrũka ituĩke kĩrĩro. Ciimba nyingĩ mũno igaateagwo kũndũ guothe gũkirĩtwo ki!”
4 Hear this, you who trample the needy, and destroy the poor of the land,
Iguai ũndũ ũyũ inyuĩ arĩa mũrangagĩrĩria abatari na mũkaniina athĩĩni a bũrũri,
5 saying, 'When will the new moon be gone, that we may sell grain? And the Sabbath, that we may market wheat, making the ephah small, and the shekel large, and dealing falsely with balances of deceit;
mũkĩũragia atĩrĩ, “Karũgamo ka Mweri gagaathira-rĩ, nĩguo twendie irio, na Thabatũ ĩthire, nĩguo twendie ngano, tũkĩnyiihagia ithimi, tũkĩongagĩrĩra thogora, na tũkĩheenanagia na ratiri itarĩ cia ma;
6 that we may buy the poor for silver, and the needy for a pair of shoes, and sell the sweepings with the wheat?'"
tũgũrage athĩĩni na betha, nao arĩa abatari tũkamagũra na nyamũga igĩrĩ, o na twendagie magira hamwe na ngano.”
7 The LORD has sworn by the pride of Jacob, "Surely I will never forget any of their works.
Jehova o we ũrĩa Jakubu etĩĩagĩra, ehĩtĩte akoiga atĩrĩ, “Ndirĩ hĩndĩ ngariganĩrwo nĩ ciĩko ciothe iria maneeka.
8 Won't the land tremble for this, and everyone mourn who dwells in it? Yes, it will rise up wholly like the River; and it will be stirred up and sink again, like the River of Egypt.
“Githĩ bũrũri ndũkainaina nĩ ũndũ wa ũguo, na arĩa othe matũũraga kuo macakae? Bũrũri wothe nĩkũiyũra ũkaiyũra ta Rũũĩ rwa Nili, ũhũũrane, na ũcooke ũhũũcũke ta rũũĩ rwa Misiri.”
9 It will happen in that day," says the LORD, "that I will cause the sun to go down at noon, and I will darken the earth in the clear day.
Mwathani Jehova ekuuga atĩrĩ, “Mũthenya ũcio-rĩ, “nĩngatũma riũa rĩthũe mĩaraho, na ndũme thĩ kũgĩe nduma mũthenya barigici.
10 I will turn your feasts into mourning, and all your songs into lamentation; and I will make you wear sackcloth on all your bodies, and baldness on every head. I will make it like the mourning for an only son, and its end like a bitter day.
Nĩngagarũra ciathĩ cianyu ituĩke macakaya, na kũina kwanyu guothe gũtuĩke kĩrĩro. Nĩngatũma inyuothe mwĩhumbe makũnia, na ndĩmwenje mĩtwe. Nĩngatũma ihinda rĩu rĩhaane ta hĩndĩ ya macakaya ma mwana wa mũmwe, naguo mũthia warĩo ũtuĩke ta mũthenya mũrũrũ.”
11 Look, the days come," says the LORD, "that I will send a famine in the land, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the word of the LORD.
Mwathani Jehova ekuuga atĩrĩ: “Matukũ nĩmarooka, rĩrĩa ngaatũma ngʼaragu bũrũri-inĩ, na ti ngʼaragu ya irio kana nyoota wa maaĩ, no nĩ ngʼaragu ya kũigua ciugo cia Jehova.
12 They will wander from sea to sea, and from the north even to the east; they will run back and forth to seek the word of the LORD, and will not find it.
Andũ magaatũgũũgaga kuuma iria-inĩ rĩmwe nginya rĩrĩa rĩngĩ, na morũũrage kuuma gathigathini nginya irathĩro, magĩcaria kiugo kĩa Jehova, no matigakĩona.
13 In that day the beautiful virgins and the young men will faint for thirst.
“Mũthenya ũcio-rĩ, “airĩtu arĩa ciĩrorerwa na aanake arĩa marĩ hinya nĩmakaringĩka nĩ nyoota.
14 Those who swear by the sin of Samaria, and say, 'As your god, Dan, lives;' and, 'As the way of Beersheba lives;' they will fall, and never rise up again."
Acio mehĩtaga na thoni cia Samaria, kana makoiga atĩrĩ, ‘Ti-itherũ o ta ũrĩa ngai ĩyo yaku ĩtũũraga muoyo wee Dani’, o na kana makoiga atĩrĩ, ‘Ti-itherũ o ta ũrĩa ngai ĩyo ya Birishiba itũũraga muoyo’: nĩmakaagũa, na maticooke gũũkĩra rĩngĩ.”
