< Amos 4 >
1 Listen to this word, you cows of Bashan, you who are in the mountain of Samaria, you who oppress the poor, you who crush the needy, you who say to your husbands, “Bring us drinks.”
Winjuru wachni, un mond Samaria machwe ka dwesni ma Bashan, un mon masando jochan, un muthago joma odhier, kendo uwachone chwou niya, “Kelnwa gik ma wanyalo madho!”
2 The Lord Yahweh has sworn by his holiness, “Look, the days will come on you when they will take you away with hooks, the last of you with fishhooks.
Jehova Nyasaye Manyalo Gik Moko Duto osesingore niya, “Ndalo biro chopo ma wasigu noywau gi olope kendo ngʼato ka ngʼato kuomu, nochal mana ka rech ma olowu omako.
3 You will go out through the breaks in the city wall, each one of you going straight through it, and you will be thrown out toward Harmon —this is Yahweh's declaration.”
Ginigolu oko mar dala ka giluwo kodu kuonde momukore mag ohinga, kendo gibiro witou oko kuchomo Hamon,” Jehova Nyasaye owacho.
4 “Go to Bethel and sin, to Gilgal and multiply sin, bring your sacrifices every morning, your tithes every three days.
“Dhiuru Bethel mondo utim richo; kendo dhiuru Gilgal mondo umed timoe richo. Keluru misengini magu okinyi kokinyi kendo keluru achiel kuom apar magu bangʼ higni adek ka higni adek.
5 Offer a thanksgiving sacrifice with bread; proclaim freewill offerings; announce them, for this pleases you, you people of Israel —this is the declaration of the Lord Yahweh.
Chiwuru makati moketie thowi kaka misango mar dwoko erokamano, kendo landuru wach kusungoru, un jo-Israel kuom chiwo mar hera, nimar mano ema uwinjo ka morou ka usiko kutimo,” Jehova Nyasaye Manyalo Gik Moko Duto owacho.
6 I gave you cleanness of teeth in all your cities and lack of bread in all your places. Yet you have not returned to me —this is Yahweh's declaration.
“Ne akelo kech e miechu duto, kendo nubedo maonge chiemo, to kata kamano pod utamoru duogo ira,” Jehova Nyasaye owacho.
7 I also withheld rain from you when there were still three months to the harvest. I caused it to rain on one city, and caused it not to rain on another city. One piece of land was rained on, but the piece of land where it did not rain dried up.
“Ne amako koth mondo kik chue kane pod odongʼ dweche adek to piny chiek. Ne amiyo koth ochwe e mier moko, to ok e mier mamoko. Ne ochwe e puothe moko, to puothe mane ok ochweye, to ne wangʼ.
8 Two or three cities staggered to another city to drink water, but were not satisfied. Yet you have not returned to me —this is Yahweh's declaration.
Ji ne wuotho awuotha e mier kamanyo pi modho, kendo ne ok ginyal yudo pi moromogi, to kata kuom mago duto pod utamoru duogo ira,” Jehova Nyasaye owacho.
9 I afflicted you with blight and mildew. The multitude of your gardens, your vineyards, your fig trees, and your olive trees— the locusts devoured them all. Yet you have not returned to me —this is Yahweh's declaration.
“Kuom kinde mangʼeny ne aoro dera mi oketho chambu gi puotheu mag mzabibu. Bonyo noketho puotheu mag ngʼowu kod mag zeituni, to kata kuom mago duto pod utamoru duogo ira,” mano e wach Jehova Nyasaye.
10 I sent a plague on you as on Egypt. I killed your young men with the sword, carried away your horses, and made the stench of your camp come up to your nostrils. Yet you have not returned to me —this is Yahweh's declaration.
“Ne akelonu tuoche mag buche machal gi mane akelo ni jo-Misri. Ne anego yawuotu mangʼeny kod ligangla kaachiel gi fareseu mag lweny. Bende ne amiyo tik marach mar joma otho othingʼou e kuondeu mag bworo, to kata kuom mago duto pod ne utamoru duoga ira,” Jehova Nyasaye owacho.
11 I overthrew cities among you, as when God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah. You were like a burning stick snatched out of the fire. Yet you have not returned to me —this is Yahweh's declaration.
“Ne atieko jomoko kuomu mana kaka ne atieko Sodom gi Gomora, kendo ne uchalo mana gi yien moyudh kawangʼ e mach, to kata kuom mago duto pod ne utamoru duoga ira,” Jehova Nyasaye owacho.
12 Therefore I will do something terrible to you, Israel; and because I will do something terrible to you, prepare to meet your God, Israel!
“Kuom mano, ma e gima abiro timonu un jo-Israel, to nikech abiro timonu kama, koro ikreuru mondo urom gi Nyasachu, yaye Israel.”
13 For, look, he who forms the mountains also creates the wind, reveals his thoughts to mankind, makes the morning darkness, and treads on the high places of the earth. Yahweh, God of hosts, is his name.”
Jal mane ochweyo gode bende ema nochweyo yamo, onyiso dhano parone, bende en ema oloko ler mar odiechiengʼ bedo mudho, en e ruodh piny duto; nyinge en Jehova Nyasaye, ma Nyasaye Maratego.
