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.”
Nụrụ okwu a, unu nne ehi nke Bashan, ndị na-ebi nʼelu ugwu Sameria, unu ndị inyom na-emegbu ndị ogbenye, ma zọpịakwa ndị mkpa na-akpa, ndị na-asị di ha, “welatara anyị ihe ọṅụṅụ”
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.
Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị ewerela ịdị nsọ ya ṅụọ iyi, sị, “Ụbọchị ahụ aghaghị ịbịa mgbe a ga-eji nko dọkpụrụ unu pụọ; jiri nko azụ dọkpụrụ ọ bụladị onye ikpeazụ nʼime unu.
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.”
Ọ bụ site nʼoghere dị iche iche e mere na mgbidi obodo, ka onye ọbụla ga-esi nʼahịrị nʼahịrị pụọ, a ga-atụga unu nʼụzọ Hamon.” Otu a ka Onyenwe anyị kwupụtara.
4 “Go to Bethel and sin, to Gilgal and multiply sin, bring your sacrifices every morning, your tithes every three days.
“Gaanụ na Betel, ma jehie. Jeenụ Gilgal mee ka mmehie baa ụba. Butenụ ihe aja unu ụtụtụ niile. Webatakwanụ onyinye otu ụzọ nʼụzọ iri unu nʼụbọchị atọ ọbụla.
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.
Chụọnụ aja nsure ọkụ dịka aja ekele, site nʼachịcha koro eko; kpọsaakwanụ banyere onyinye afọ ofufu niile unu na-enye, nyaanụ isi banyere ha, unu bụ ndị Izrel, nʼihi na nke a bụ ihe unu hụrụ nʼanya ime.” Otu a ka Onyenwe anyị kwupụtara.
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.
“E mere m ka unu nwee eze dị ọcha nʼobodo unu niile, mekwa ka ụkọ nri dị nʼọnụmara unu niile ma unu alọghachikwuteghị m.” Otu a ka Onyenwe anyị kwupụtara.
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.
“Ọzọkwa, Mụ onwe m gbochikwara mmiri izoro unu, mgbe ọ fọdụrụ ọnwa atọ tupu owuwe ihe ubi ebido. Enyere m otu obodo mmiri ozuzo, ma gbochie ya izoro obodo nke ọzọ. Mmiri zoro nʼotu ubi, ma nke mmiri ezoghị na ya kpọnwụrụ.
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.
Ndị si obodo abụọ maọbụ atọ chọrọ mmiri ọṅụṅụ jee nʼobodo ọzọ, ma ha enwetaghị nke ha ji aṅụju afọ, ma nʼime ihe ndị a niile unu alọghachikwuteghị m.” Otu a ka Onyenwe anyị kwupụtara.
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.
“Ezitere m ọrịa nchakpọ nʼubi unu niile a gbara ogige, ya na ubi vaịnị unu niile, ọtụtụ oge, werekwa ọrịa na-eripịa ihe ubi na ọmụma ebu bibie ha, zitekwa igurube nke richapụrụ osisi fiig na osisi oliv unu niile, ma nke a emeghị ka unu lọghachikwute m.” Otu a ka Onyenwe anyị kwupụtara.
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.
“Ezitere m nʼetiti unu ajọ ọrịa na-efe efe dịka ndị ahụ m zitere ndị Ijipt. Ejiri m mma agha gbuo ụmụ okorobịa unu, mee ka a dọta ịnyịnya agha unu nʼagha. Emere m ka isisi ọjọọ ndị niile nwuru nʼọmụma ụlọ ikwu unu jupụta imi unu, ma nke a emeghị ka unu lọghachikwute m.” Otu a ka Onyenwe anyị kwupụtara.
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.
“Akwaturu m ụfọdụ nʼime unu dịka mgbe Chineke kwaturu Sọdọm na Gọmọra. Unu dịka ọlọkọ nkụ ọkụ alọpụtara site nʼọkụ, ma unu alọghachikwuteghị m,” otu a ka Onyenwe anyị kwubiri.
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!
“Nʼihi ya, ihe ndị a ka m na-aga ime gị, gị bụ Izrel. Ebe ọ bụkwa na ejikerela m ime gị ihe ndị a, jikere, O Izrel, izute Chineke gị.”
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.”
Ma lee, onye na-akpụ ugwu niile, onye na-ekekwa ifufe, nke na-ekpughekwa echiche uche ya nye mmadụ, onye na-emekwa ka chi ọbụbọ ghọọ ọchịchịrị, na-azọchakwa ugwu niile nʼọbụụkwụ ya, Onyenwe anyị Chineke Onye pụrụ ime ihe niile bụ aha ya.
