This is what Yahweh says: “For three sins of Moab, even for four, I will not turn away punishment, because he burned the bones of the king of Edom to lime.
2 nĩngaitĩrĩria Moabi mwaki ũrĩa ũgaacina ciĩhitho iria nũmu cia Keriothu. Moabi nĩakagũa thĩ na mũrurumo mũnene, gatagatĩ-inĩ ka mbugĩrĩrio ya mbaara, na kũhuhwo kwa mũgambo wa karumbeta.
I will send fire on Moab, and it will devour the fortresses of Kerioth. Moab will die in an uproar, with shouting and the sound of the trumpet.
3 Nĩngananga mwathi wakuo, na njũrage anene ake othe hamwe nake,” ũguo nĩguo Jehova ekuuga.
I will destroy the judge in her, and I will kill all the princes with him,” says Yahweh.
4 Jehova ekuuga atĩrĩ: “Nĩ ũndũ wa mehia matatũ ma Juda, o na mana-rĩ, niĩ ndikahũndũra mangʼũrĩ makwa. Tondũ nĩmaregete watho wa Jehova, na makaaga kũrũmia irĩra ciake cia watho wa kũrũmĩrĩrwo, tondũ nĩmahĩtithĩtio nĩ ngai cia maheeni, ngai iria maithe mao ma tene maarũmagĩrĩra.
This is what Yahweh says: “For three sins of Judah, even for four, I will not turn away punishment, because they rejected the law of Yahweh and did not keep his statutes. Their lies caused them to go astray, after which their fathers had also walked.
5 Nĩngaitĩrĩria Juda mwaki ũrĩa ũgaacina ciĩhitho iria nũmu cia Jerusalemu.”
I will send fire on Judah, and it will devour the fortresses of Jerusalem.”
6 Jehova ekuuga atĩrĩ; “Nĩ ũndũ wa mehia matatũ ma Isiraeli, o na mana-rĩ, niĩ ndikahũndũra mangʼũrĩ makwa. Mendagia andũ arĩa athingu betha, na arĩa abatari-rĩ, makamendia nyamũga igĩrĩ.
This is what Yahweh says: “For three sins of Israel, even for four, I will not turn away punishment, because they sold the innocent for silver and the needy for a pair of sandals.
7 Marangagĩrĩria mĩtwe ya arĩa athĩĩni taarĩ rũkũngũ rwa thĩ, na makaagithia kĩhooto arĩa ahinyĩrĩrie. Mũndũ na ithe makomaga na mũirĩtu ũmwe, nĩ ũndũ ũcio magathaahia rĩĩtwa rĩakwa itheru.
They trample on the heads of the poor as people trample on dust on the ground; they push the oppressed away. A man and his father sleep with the same girl and so profane my holy name.
8 Makomaga harĩa hothe harĩ na kĩgongona, magakomera nguo iria irutĩtwo irũgamĩrĩre thiirĩ. Kũu thĩinĩ wa nyũmba ya ngai yao, nĩkuo manyuuagĩra ndibei ĩrĩa ĩrutĩtwo ya ndooco.
They lie down beside every altar on clothes taken as pledges, and in the house of their God they drink the wine of those who were fined.
9 “Nĩndanangire Aamori mehere mbere yao, o na gũtuĩka maarĩ araihu ta mĩtĩ ya mĩtarakwa, na marĩ na hinya ta mĩtĩ ya mĩgandi. Nĩndanangire matunda make kuuma na igũrũ, na ngĩananga mĩri yake kuuma na thĩ.
Yet I destroyed the Amorite before them, whose height was like the height of cedars; he was strong as the oaks. Yet I destroyed his fruit above and his roots below.
10 “Ndakwambatirie ngĩkũruta bũrũri wa Misiri, na ngĩgũtongoria mĩaka mĩrongo ĩna kũu werũ-inĩ, nĩguo ngũhe bũrũri wa Aamori.
Also, I brought you up out of the land of Egypt and led you forty years in the wilderness to possess the land of the Amorites.
11 Ningĩ nĩndarahũrire anabii kuuma kũrĩ ariũ aku, na ngĩarahũra Anaziri kuuma kũrĩ aanake aku. Githĩ ũcio ti ũhoro wa ma, inyuĩ andũ a Isiraeli?” ũguo nĩguo Jehova ekuuga.
I raised up prophets from among your sons and Nazirites from your young men. Is it not so, people of Israel? —this is Yahweh's declaration.
12 “No inyuĩ nĩmwaheire Anaziri ndibei manyue, na mũgĩatha anabii matikanarathe ũndũ.
But you persuaded the Nazirites to drink wine and commanded the prophets not to prophesy.
13 “Na rĩrĩ, niĩ nĩngamũhehenja o ta ũrĩa ngaari ĩiyũrĩte ngano ĩhehenjaga.
Look, I will crush you as a cart that is full of grain can crush someone.
14 Mũndũ ũrĩa ũrĩ ihenya ndakahota kwĩhonokia. Ũrĩa ũrĩ hinya ndagateithio nĩ hinya ũcio wake, nayo njamba ya ita ndĩkahonokia muoyo wayo.
The swift will find no escape; the strong will not add to his own strength; neither will the mighty save himself.
15 Mũrathi na mĩguĩ ndakeyũmĩrĩria, na mũthigari ũrĩa ũhiũkaga ndakahota kũũra, na ũrĩa ũhaicĩte mbarathi ndakahonokia muoyo wake.
The archer will not stand; the fast runner will not escape; the horseman will not save himself.
16 O nacio njamba cia ita iria nyũmĩrĩru mũno, ikoora irĩ njaga mũthenya ũcio,” ũguo nĩguo Jehova ekuuga.
Even the bravest warriors will flee naked in that day —this is Yahweh's declaration.”
