Amosi 3
1 Ta iguai ũhoro ũyũ Jehova aarĩtie wa kũmũũkĩrĩra, inyuĩ andũ a Isiraeli, ũira wa gũũkĩrĩra nyũmba yothe ĩrĩa ndaarutire bũrũri wa Misiri:
Hear this word that Jehovah has spoken against you, O sons of Israel, against the whole family which I brought up out of the land of Egypt, saying,
2 “Inyuĩ no inyuĩ ndĩthuurĩire kuuma harĩ nyũmba ciothe cia thĩ; nĩ ũndũ ũcio nĩngamũherithia tondũ wa mehia manyu mothe.”
You only I have known of all the families of the earth. Therefore I will visit upon you all your iniquities.
3 Andũ eerĩ maahota gũtwarana atĩa matarĩ na karĩĩko?
Shall two walk together unless they have agreed?
4 Mũrũũthi-rĩ, nĩũraramaga kĩhinga-inĩ ũtarĩ kĩndũ ũnyiitĩte? Nĩũraramaga ũrĩ kĩmamo-inĩ ũtanyiitĩte kĩndũ?
Will a lion roar in the forest, when he has no prey? Will a young lion cry out of his den, if he has taken nothing?
5 Nyoni-rĩ, no ĩgwe thĩ mũtego-inĩ hatarĩ kĩndũ gĩa kũmĩheenereria? Mũtego-rĩ, no ũtegũke, uume thĩ ũtagwatĩtie kĩndũ?
Can a bird fall in a snare upon the earth, where no net is set for him? Shall a snare spring up from the ground, and have taken nothing at all?
6 Karumbeta no kahuhwo itũũra-inĩ inene, na andũ mage gwĩtigĩra? Mũtino no ũũke itũũra-inĩ inene, na gũtuĩke ti Jehova ũũrehete?
Shall the trumpet be blown in a city, and the people not be afraid? Shall evil befall a city, and Jehovah has not done it?
7 Ti-itherũ Mwathani Jehova ndarĩ ũndũ angĩĩka atamenyithĩtie anabii, ndungata ciake, ũrĩa atuĩte gwĩka.
Surely the lord Jehovah will do nothing unless he reveals his secret to his servants the prophets.
8 Mũrũũthi nĩũraramĩte, nũũ ũtangĩĩtigĩra? Mwathani Jehova nĩarĩtie, nũũ ũtangĩratha maũndũ?
The lion has roared, who will not fear? The lord Jehovah has spoken, who can but prophesy?
9 Anĩrĩrai mwĩre ciĩhitho iria nũmu cia Ashidodi, na ciĩhitho iria nũmu cia bũrũri wa Misiri ũciĩre atĩrĩ: “Ũnganai irĩma igũrũ cia Samaria, mwĩonere inegene inene rĩrĩa rĩrĩ kuo, na ũhinyanĩrĩria ũrĩa ũrĩ thĩinĩ wa andũ.”
Publish ye in the palaces at Ashdod, and in the palaces in the land of Egypt, and say, Assemble yourselves upon the mountains of Samaria, and behold what great tumults are in it, and what oppressions are in the midst of it.
10 Jehova ekuuga atĩrĩ: “Andũ arĩa mahĩbaga indo cia gũtunyana na indo cia ndaho kũu ciĩhitho-inĩ nũmu ciao, matiũĩ gwĩka ũrĩa kwagĩrĩire.”
For they do not know to do right, says Jehovah, who store up violence and robbery in their palaces.
11 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Mwathani Jehova ekuuga atĩrĩ, “Thũ nĩĩkaharagania bũrũri; nĩĩgatharia ciĩgitĩro cianyu cia hinya, na ciĩhitho cianyu nũmu nĩigatahwo.”
Therefore thus says the lord Jehovah: An adversary shall be, even round about the land, and he shall bring down thy strength from thee, and thy palaces shall be plundered.
12 Jehova ekuuga atĩrĩ: “O ta ũrĩa mũrĩithi angĩteithũra magũrũ meerĩ kana gacunjĩ ga gũtũ kuuma kanua ka mũrũũthi, ũguo noguo andũ a Isiraeli makaahonokio, acio maikaraga Samaria maikarĩire mĩthia ya marĩrĩ mao, o na arĩa maikarĩire itanda ciao marĩ Dameski.”
Thus says Jehovah: As the shepherd rescues out of the mouth of the lion two legs, or a piece of an ear, so shall the sons of Israel be rescued who sit in Samaria in the corner of a couch, and on the silken cushions of a bed.
13 Mwathani Jehova, Ngai Mwene-Hinya-Wothe, ekuuga atĩrĩ: “Ta iguai ũhoro ũyũ, na inyuĩ mũrute ũira wa gũũkĩrĩra nyũmba ya Jakubu.
Hear ye, and testify against the house of Jacob, says the lord Jehovah, the God of hosts.
14 “Mũthenya ũrĩa ngaaherithia Isiraeli nĩ ũndũ wa mehia make-rĩ, nĩngananga igongona cia Betheli; na ndinie hĩa cia kĩgongona kĩu igwe thĩ.
For in the day that I shall visit the transgressions of Israel upon him, I will also visit the altars of Bethel, and the horns of the altar shall be cut off, and fall to the ground.
15 Nĩngatharia nyũmba ya hĩndĩ ya gathano, o hamwe na nyũmba ya hĩndĩ ya riũa; nyũmba iria ngʼemie na mĩguongo nĩikaanangwo, nacio nyũmba iria nene mũno nĩikamomorwo,” ũguo nĩguo Jehova ekuuga.
And I will smite the winter house with the summer house, and the houses of ivory shall perish, and the great houses shall have an end, says Jehovah.
