< Amosi 1 >

1 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.
These are the words of Amos, who was among the sheepherders of Tekoa—what he saw concerning Israel two years before the earthquake, in the days when Uzziah was king of Judah and Jeroboam son of Jehoash was king of Israel.
2 Oigire atĩrĩ: “Jehova araramaga arĩ Zayuni, na akaruruma arĩ Jerusalemu; ũrĩithio wa arĩithi a mbũri nĩũkooma, nako gacũmbĩrĩ ga Karimeli kahoohe.”
He said: “The LORD roars from Zion and raises His voice from Jerusalem; the pastures of the shepherds mourn, and the summit of Carmel withers.”
3 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,
This is what the LORD says: “For three transgressions of Damascus, even four, I will not revoke My judgment, because they threshed Gilead with sledges of iron.
4 nĩngaitĩrĩria nyũmba ya Hazaeli mwaki ũrĩa ũgaacina ciĩhitho iria nũmu cia Beni-Hadadi.
So I will send fire upon the house of Hazael to consume the citadels of Ben-hadad.
5 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.
I will break down the gates of Damascus; I will cut off the ruler of the Valley of Aven and the one who wields the scepter in Beth-eden. The people of Aram will be exiled to Kir,”
6 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.
This is what the LORD says: “For three transgressions of Gaza, even four, I will not revoke My judgment, because they exiled a whole population, delivering them up to Edom.
7 Nĩngaitĩrĩria thingo cia Gaza mwaki ũrĩa ũgaacina ciĩhitho iria nũmu ciakuo.
So I will send fire upon the walls of Gaza, to consume its citadels.
8 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.
I will cut off the ruler of Ashdod and the one who wields the scepter in Ashkelon. I will turn My hand against Ekron, and the remnant of the Philistines will perish,”
9 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.
This is what the LORD says: “For three transgressions of Tyre, even four, I will not revoke My judgment, because they delivered up a whole congregation of exiles to Edom and broke a covenant of brotherhood.
10 Nĩngaitĩrĩria thingo cia Turo mwaki ũrĩa ũgaacina ciĩhitho iria nũmu ciakuo.”
So I will send fire upon the walls of Tyre to consume its citadels.”
11 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,
This is what the LORD says: “For three transgressions of Edom, even four, I will not revoke My judgment, because he pursued his brother with the sword and stifled all compassion; his anger raged continually, and his fury flamed incessantly.
12 nĩĩngaitĩrĩria Temani mwaki ũrĩa ũgaacina ciĩhitho iria nũmu cia Bozara.”
So I will send fire upon Teman to consume the citadels of Bozrah.”
13 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.
This is what the LORD says: “For three transgressions of the Ammonites, even four, I will not revoke My judgment, because they ripped open the pregnant women of Gilead in order to enlarge their territory.
14 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.
So I will kindle a fire in the walls of Rabbah to consume its citadels amid war cries on the day of battle and a violent wind on the day of tempest.
15 Mũthamaki wakuo nĩagatahwo, athaamio, we mwene, hamwe na anene ake,” ũguo nĩguo Jehova ekuuga.
Their king will go into exile — he and his princes together,”
