< Amos 4 >

1 Ye fatte kien, that ben in the hil of Samarie, here this word; whiche maken fals caleng to nedi men, and breken pore men; which seien to youre lordis, Bringe ye, and we schulen drynke.
Sikilizeni neno hili, ninyi ngʼombe wa Bashani mlioko juu ya Mlima Samaria, ninyi wanawake mnaowaonea maskini, na kuwagandamiza wahitaji, na kuwaambia wanaume wenu, “Tuleteeni vinywaji!”
2 The Lord God swoor in his hooli, for lo! daies schulen come on you; and thei schulen reise you in schaftis, and youre remenauntis in buylynge pottis.
Bwana Mwenyezi ameapa kwa utakatifu wake: “Hakika wakati utakuja mtakapochukuliwa na kulabu, na wanaosalia kwa ndoana za samaki.
3 And ye schulen go out bi the openyngis, oon ayens another, and ye schulen be cast forth in to Armon, seith the Lord.
Nanyi mtakwenda moja kwa moja kupitia mahali palipobomolewa kwenye ukuta, nanyi mtatupwa nje kuelekea Harmoni,” asema Bwana.
4 Come ye to Bethel, and do ye wickidli; to Galgala, and multiplie ye trespassyng; and offre ye eerli youre sacrifices, in thre daies youre tithis.
“Nendeni Betheli mkatende dhambi; nendeni Gilgali mkazidi kutenda dhambi. Leteni dhabihu zenu kila asubuhi, zaka zenu kila mwaka wa tatu.
5 And sacrifice ye heriyng of breed maad sour, and clepe ye wilful offryngis, and telle ye; for ye, sones of Israel, wolden so, seith the Lord God.
Mchome mkate uliotiwa chachu kama sadaka ya shukrani, jisifuni kuhusu sadaka zenu za hiari: jigambeni kwa ajili ya sadaka hizo, enyi Waisraeli, kwa kuwa hili ndilo mnalopenda kulitenda,” asema Bwana Mwenyezi.
6 Wherfor and Y yaf to you astonying of teeth in alle youre citees, and nedinesse of looues in alle youre places; and ye turneden not ayen to me, seith the Lord.
“Niliwapa njaa kwenye kila mji, na ukosefu wa chakula katika kila mji, hata hivyo bado hamjanirudia mimi,” asema Bwana.
7 Also Y forbeed reyn fro you, whanne thre monethis weren yit `to comyng, til to ripe corn; and Y reynede on o citee, and on another citee Y reynede not; o part was bireyned, and the part driede vp on which Y reynede not.
“Pia niliwazuilia ninyi mvua miezi mitatu kabla ya kufikia mavuno. Nilinyesha mvua kwenye mji mmoja, lakini niliizuia mvua isinyeshe mji mwingine. Shamba moja lilipata mvua, na lingine halikupata, nalo likakauka.
8 And tweyne and thre citees camen to o citee, to drynke watir, and tho weren not fillid; and ye camen not ayen to me, seith the Lord.
Watu walitangatanga mji hata mji kutafuta maji, lakini hawakupata ya kuwatosha kunywa, hata hivyo hamjanirudia mimi,” asema Bwana.
9 Y smoot you with brennynge wynd, and with rust, the multitude of youre orcherdis, and of youre vyneris; and a wort worm eet youre olyue places, and youre fige places; and ye camen not ayen to me, seith the Lord.
“Mara nyingi nilizipiga bustani zenu na mashamba ya mizabibu, niliyapiga kwa kutu na ukungu. Nzige walitafuna tini zenu na miti ya mizeituni, hata hivyo hamjanirudia mimi,” asema Bwana.
10 Y sente in to you deth in the weie of Egipt, Y smoot with swerd youre yonge men, `til to the caitifte of youre horsis, and Y made the stynk of youre oostis to stie in to youre nose thirlis; and ye camen not ayen to me, seith the Lord.
“Niliwapelekea tauni miongoni mwenu kama nilivyofanya kule Misri. Niliwaua vijana wenu wa kiume kwa upanga, niliwachukua farasi wenu. Nilijaza pua zenu kwa uvundo kutoka kwenye kambi zenu, hata hivyo hamjanirudia mimi,” asema Bwana.
11 Y distriede you, as God distriede Sodom and Gomorre, and ye ben maad as a brond rauyschid of brennyng; and ye turneden not ayen to me, seith the Lord.
“Niliwaangamiza baadhi yenu kama nilivyoangamiza Sodoma na Gomora. Mlikuwa kama kijiti kiwakacho kilichonyakuliwa motoni, hata hivyo hamjanirudia,” asema Bwana.
12 Wherfor, thou Israel, Y schal do these thingis to thee; but aftir that Y schal do to thee these thingis, Israel, be maad redi in to ayen comyng of thi God.
“Kwa hiyo hili ndilo nitakalowafanyia, Israeli, na kwa sababu nitawafanyia hili, jiandaeni kukutana na Mungu wenu, ee Israeli.”
13 For lo! he fourmeth hillis, and makith wynd, and tellith to man his speche; and he makith a `morew myist, and goith on hiy thingis of erthe; the Lord God of oostis is the name of hym.
Yeye ambaye hufanya milima, anaumba upepo, na kufunua mawazo yake kwa mwanadamu, yeye ageuzaye asubuhi kuwa giza, na kukanyaga mahali pa juu pa nchi: Bwana Mungu Mwenye Nguvu Zote ndilo jina lake.
