< Amos 1 >

1 Words of Amos — who hath been among herdsmen of Tekoa — that he hath seen concerning Israel, in the days of Uzziah king of Judah, and in the days of Jeroboam son of Joash king of Israel, two years before the shaking;
Ũyũ nĩguo ũhoro wa Amosi, ũmwe wa arĩithi arĩa maarĩithagia Tekoa, wa ũndũ ũrĩa onire ũkoniĩ Isiraeli mĩaka ĩĩrĩ mbere ya gĩthingithia, hĩndĩ ĩrĩa Uzia aarĩ mũthamaki wa Juda nake Jeroboamu mũrũ wa Joashu aarĩ mũthamaki wa Isiraeli.
2 and he saith: Jehovah from Zion doth roar, And from Jerusalem giveth forth His voice, And mourned have pastures of the shepherds, And withered hath the top of Carmel!
Oigire atĩrĩ: “Jehova araramaga arĩ Zayuni, na akaruruma arĩ Jerusalemu; ũrĩithio wa arĩithi a mbũri nĩũkooma, nako gacũmbĩrĩ ga Karimeli kahoohe.”
3 And thus said Jehovah: For three transgressions of Damascus, And for four, I do not reverse it, Because of their threshing Gilead with sharp-pointed irons,
Jehova ekuuga atĩrĩ: “Nĩ ũndũ wa mehia matatũ ma Dameski, o na mana-rĩ, niĩ ndikahũndũra mangʼũrĩ makwa. Tondũ nĩahũũrire Gileadi na ibũi irĩ na magego ma kĩgera,
4 And I have sent a fire against the house of Hazael, And it hath consumed the palaces of Ben-Hadad.
nĩngaitĩrĩria nyũmba ya Hazaeli mwaki ũrĩa ũgaacina ciĩhitho iria nũmu cia Beni-Hadadi.
5 And I have broken the bar of Damascus, And cut off the inhabitant from Bikat-Aven, And a holder of a sceptre from Beth-Eden, And removed have been the people of Aram to Kir, said Jehovah.
Nĩngoinanga kĩhingo kĩa Dameski; nĩngananga mũthamaki ũrĩa ũtũũraga Gĩtuamba kĩa Aveni, na niine ũrĩa ũnyiitĩte njũgũma ya wathani kũu Bethi-Edeni. Andũ a Suriata nĩmagatahwo matwarwo Kiri,” ũguo nĩguo Jehova ekuuga.
6 Thus said Jehovah: For three transgressions of Gaza, And for four, I do not reverse it, Because of their removing a complete captivity, To deliver up to Edom,
Jehova ekuuga atĩrĩ: “Nĩ ũndũ wa mehia matatũ ma Gaza, o na mana-rĩ, niĩ ndikahũndũra mangʼũrĩ makwa. Tondũ nĩanyiitire kĩrĩndĩ gĩothe mĩgwate, agĩkĩendia kũu Edomu.
7 And I have sent a fire against the wall of Gaza, And it hath consumed her palaces;
Nĩngaitĩrĩria thingo cia Gaza mwaki ũrĩa ũgaacina ciĩhitho iria nũmu ciakuo.
8 And I have cut off the inhabitant from Ashdod, And a holder of a sceptre from Ashkelon, And have turned back My hand against Ekron, And perished have the remnant of the Philistines, Said the Lord Jehovah.
Nĩngananga mũthamaki wa Ashidodi, na niine ũrĩa ũnyiitĩte njũgũma ya wathani kũu Ashikeloni. Guoko gwakwa nĩgũgokĩrĩra Ekironi, o nginya hĩndĩ ĩrĩa Mũfilisti wa mũthia agaakua,” ũguo nĩguo Mwathani Jehova ekuuga.
9 Thus said Jehovah: For three transgressions of Tyre, And for four, I do not reverse it, Because of their delivering up a complete captivity to Edom, And they remembered not the brotherly covenant,
Ningĩ Jehova ekuuga atĩrĩ: “Nĩ ũndũ wa mehia matatũ ma Turo, o na mana-rĩ, niĩ ndikahũndũra mangʼũrĩ makwa. Tondũ nĩendirie kĩrĩndĩ gĩothe kĩa mĩgwate kũu Edomu, akĩaga gũtĩĩa kĩrĩkanĩro kĩa ũiguano kĩa ariũ a ithe.
10 And I have sent a fire against the wall of Tyre, And it hath consumed her palaces.
Nĩngaitĩrĩria thingo cia Turo mwaki ũrĩa ũgaacina ciĩhitho iria nũmu ciakuo.”
11 Thus said Jehovah: For three transgressions of Edom, And for four, I do not reverse it, Because of his pursuing with a sword his brother, And he hath destroyed his mercies, And tear perpetually doth his anger, And his wrath — he hath kept it for ever,
Jehova ekuuga atĩrĩ: “Nĩ ũndũ wa mehia matatũ ma Edomu, o na mana-rĩ, niĩ ndikahũndũra mangʼũrĩ makwa. Tondũ nĩatengʼeririe mũrũ wa nyina na rũhiũ rwa njora, atarĩ na tha, tondũ marakara make mahiũ matiathiraga, na mangʼũrĩ make makĩrĩrĩmbũka matekũhoreka,
12 And I have sent a fire against Teman, And it hath consumed palaces of Bozrah.
nĩĩngaitĩrĩria Temani mwaki ũrĩa ũgaacina ciĩhitho iria nũmu cia Bozara.”
13 Thus said Jehovah: For three transgressions of the sons of Ammon, And for four, I do not reverse it, Because of their ripping up the pregnant ones of Gilead, To enlarge their border,
Jehova ekuuga atĩrĩ: “Nĩ ũndũ wa mehia matatũ ma Amoni, o na mana-rĩ, niĩ ndikahũndũra mangʼũrĩ makwa. Tondũ nĩatarũrire nda cia andũ-a-nja a Gileadi arĩa maarĩ na nda, nĩgeetha aaramie mĩhaka ya gwake.
14 And I have kindled a fire against the wall of Rabbah, And it hath consumed her palaces, With a shout in a day of battle, With a whirlwind in a day of hurricane,
Nĩngaitĩrĩria thingo cia Raba mwaki ũrĩa ũgaacina ciĩhitho iria nũmu ciakuo, gatagatĩ-inĩ ka mbugĩrĩrio ya mbaara mũthenya ũcio wa mbaara, ũhaana ta rũhuho rũnene mũthenya wa kĩhuhũkanio.
15 And gone hath their king in a removal, He and his heads together, said Jehovah!
Mũthamaki wakuo nĩagatahwo, athaamio, we mwene, hamwe na anene ake,” ũguo nĩguo Jehova ekuuga.
