< Amos 6 >

1 Woe to them that are at ease in Zion, and trust in the mountain of Samaria, who are named chief of the nations, to whom the house of Israel came!
Ahụhụ dịrị ndị ahụ na-enweghị nsogbu nʼime Zayọn, na ndị ahụ na-ebi nʼizuoke nʼugwu Sameria, bụ ndị a maara aha ha na isi mba nke mba niile, ndị agbụrụ Izrel niile na-abịakwute.
2 Pass ye to Calneh, and see; and from there go ye to Hamath the great: then go down to Gath of the Philistines: are they better than these kingdoms? or their border greater than your border?
Gaanụ Kalne, ka unu lee ya anya, site nʼebe ahụ unu jeruo Hamat, obodo ukwu ahụ, mgbe ahụ unu gbada jeruokwa Gat nke dị na Filistia Ha ọ kacha alaeze abụọ unu mma? Ka ala ha ọ karịrị ndị nke unu?
3 Ye that put far away the evil day, and cause the seat of violence to come near;
Unu na-ewezuga ụbọchị ọjọọ ahụ ma na-eme ka ụbọchị ihe ike bịa ngwangwa.
4 That lie upon beds of ivory, and stretch themselves upon their couches, and eat lambs from the flock, and calves from the midst of the stall;
Azịgba unu ndị na-edina nʼelu akwa ọdụ enyi, na-agbatị onwe ha nʼelu ihe ndina ha, na-erikwa anụ ụmụ atụrụ dị mma na ụmụ ehi e mere ka ha gbaa abụba.
5 That chant to the sound of the harp, and invent to themselves instruments of music, like David;
Ndị na-abụ abụ nke na-abaghị nʼụda ụbọ akwara, ma were aka ha rụọra onwe ha ngwa egwu dịka Devid mere.
6 That drink wine in bowls, and anoint themselves with the chief ointments: but they are not grieved for the affliction of Joseph.
Unu na-aṅụ mmanya site nʼọba; na-ete mmanụ makarịsịrị mma, ma ịla nʼiyi nke Josef adịghị ewute ha.
7 Therefore now shall they go captive with the first that go captive, and the banquet of them that stretched themselves shall be removed.
Nʼihi ya, unu ga-abụ ndị a ga-ebu ụzọ mee ka ha jee biri nʼala ndị ọzọ. Na mberede, oke oriri unu na idina ala setịa onwe unu ga-akwụsị.
8 The Lord GOD hath sworn by himself, saith the LORD the God of hosts, I abhor the excellency of Jacob, and hate his palaces: therefore I will deliver up the city with all its abundance.
Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị ewerela onwe ya ṅụọ iyi, Onyenwe anyị Chineke Onye pụrụ ime ihe niile ekwupụtala sị, “Ihe arụ ka mfụli elu nke Jekọb bụrụ m; ana m akpọkwa ebe ya niile e wusiri ike asị. Nʼihi ya, aghaghị m iwere obodo a na ihe niile dị ya nʼime nyefee nʼaka ndị ọzọ.”
9 And it shall come to pass, if there remain ten men in one house, they shall die.
Ma ọ bụrụ na mmadụ iri afọdụ nʼime otu ụlọ, ha niile aghaghị ịnwụ.
10 And a man’s uncle shall take him up, and he that burneth him, to bring the bones out of the house, and shall say to him that is inside of the house, Is there yet any with thee? and he shall say, No. Then shall he say, Hold thy tongue: for we may not make mention of the name of the LORD.
Ma ọ bụrụ na nwanna, bụ onye nke na-aga ịkpọ anụ ahụ ndị a ọkụ, abata ibupụ ha nʼezi, ọ jụọ otu onye nọ nʼime ime ụlọ ahụ sị, “O nwere onye ọzọ gị na ya nọ?” Onye ahụ zaa, “Ọ dịghị,” mgbe ahụ nwanna ahụ ga-asị, “Nọọ jụụ. Anyị agaghị akpọ aha Onyenwe anyị.”
11 For, behold, the LORD commandeth, and he will smite the great house with breaches, and the little house with clefts.
Nʼihi na lee, Onyenwe anyị e nyela iwu. Ọ ghaghị itikpọsị ụlọ ukwu ndị ahụ, tiriekwa ụlọ nta ndị ahụ niile.
12 Shall horses run upon the rock? will one plow there with oxen? for ye have turned judgment into gall, and the fruit of righteousness into hemlock:
Ịnyịnya ọ na-agba ọsọ nʼelu nkume? Mmadụ ọ na-eji ehi abụọ e jikọtara ọnụ akọ elu osimiri? Ma unu atụgharịala ikpe ziri ezi mee ya ka ọ ghọọ nsi, mkpụrụ nke ezi omume ka unu mekwara ka ọ ghọọ ihe ilu.
13 Ye who rejoice in a thing of nought, who say, Have we not taken to us horns by our own strength?
Unu ndị na-aṅụrị ọṅụ nʼihi na unu meriri obodo Lo Deba, ndị na-asị, “Ọ bụghị site nʼike aka anyị ka anyị nwetakwara Kanaịm?”
14 But, behold, I will raise up against you a nation, O house of Israel, saith the LORD the God of hosts; and they shall afflict you from the entrance of Hamath to the river of the wilderness.
“Ma lee, aghaghị m ime ka otu mba bilie imegide unu, ụlọ Izrel,” otu a ka Onyenwe anyị Chineke Onye pụrụ ime ihe niile kwubiri ya. “Ha ga-emekpa unu ahụ site nʼụzọ niile site na Lebo Hamat ruo ndagwurugwu Araba.”
