< 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.
The words of 'Amos, who was among the herdmen of Tekoa, which he foresaw concerning Israel in the days of 'Uzziyah the king of Judah, and in the days of Jerobo'am the son of Joash the king of Israel, two years before the earthquake.
2 Oigire atĩrĩ: “Jehova araramaga arĩ Zayuni, na akaruruma arĩ Jerusalemu; ũrĩithio wa arĩithi a mbũri nĩũkooma, nako gacũmbĩrĩ ga Karimeli kahoohe.”
And he said, The Lord will cry aloud out of Zion, and from Jerusalem will he send forth his voice; and then shall mourn the pastures of the shepherds, and then shall dry up the top of Carmel.
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,
Thus hath said the Lord, For three transgressions of Damascus, and for four, will I not turn away their punishment; because they have threshed [the inhabitants of] Gil'ad with threshing instruments of iron;
4 nĩngaitĩrĩria nyũmba ya Hazaeli mwaki ũrĩa ũgaacina ciĩhitho iria nũmu cia Beni-Hadadi.
And I will send a fire into the house of Chazael, which shall devour the palaces 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.
And I will break the bars of Damascus, and cut off the inhabitants from the valley of Aven, and him that holdeth the sceptre from the house of 'Eden: and the people of Syria shall be exiled unto Kir, saith the Lord.
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.
Thus hath said the Lord, For three transgressions of Gazzah, and for four, will I not turn away their punishment; because they carried away exiles in full numbers, to deliver them up to Edom;
7 Nĩngaitĩrĩria thingo cia Gaza mwaki ũrĩa ũgaacina ciĩhitho iria nũmu ciakuo.
And I will send a fire against the wall of Gazzah, which shall devour her palaces;
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.
And I will cut off the inhabitants from Ashdod, and him that holdeth the sceptre from Ashkelon, and I will turn my hand against 'Ekron: and the remnant of the Philistines shall perish, saith the Lord Eternal.
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.
Thus hath said the Lord, For three transgressions of Tyre, and for four, will I not turn away their punishment; because they delivered up the exiles in full numbers to Edom, and remembered not the brotherly covenant;
10 Nĩngaitĩrĩria thingo cia Turo mwaki ũrĩa ũgaacina ciĩhitho iria nũmu ciakuo.”
And I will send a fire against the walls of Tyre, which shall devour her palaces.
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,
Thus hath said the Lord, For three transgressions of Edom, and for four, will I not turn away their punishment; because he pursued with the sword his brother, and disregarded his mercy, and his anger tore in pieces continually, and he kept his wrath for ever:
12 nĩĩngaitĩrĩria Temani mwaki ũrĩa ũgaacina ciĩhitho iria nũmu cia Bozara.”
And I will send out a fire against Theman, which shall devour the palaces 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.
Thus hath said the Lord, For three transgressions of the children of 'Ammon, and for four, will I not turn away their punishment; because they have ripped up the pregnant women of Gil'ad, in order to enlarge their own 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.
And I will kindle a fire within the walls of Rabbah, which shall devour her palaces, with shouting on the day of battle, with a storm on the day of the tempest;
15 Mũthamaki wakuo nĩagatahwo, athaamio, we mwene, hamwe na anene ake,” ũguo nĩguo Jehova ekuuga.
And their king shall go into exile, he and his princes together, saith the Lord.
