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 ye this word, which Yahweh hath spoken, concerning you, ye sons of Israel, —concerning 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.”
Only you, have I acknowledged, of all the families of the ground, For this cause, will I visit upon you all your iniquities.
3 Andũ eerĩ maahota gũtwarana atĩa matarĩ na karĩĩko?
Can two walk together, —except they meet?
4 Mũrũũthi-rĩ, nĩũraramaga kĩhinga-inĩ ũtarĩ kĩndũ ũnyiitĩte? Nĩũraramaga ũrĩ kĩmamo-inĩ ũtanyiitĩte kĩndũ?
Will a lion roar in the forest, when, prey, he hath none? Will a young lion utter his voice out of his den, when he hath made no capture?
5 Nyoni-rĩ, no ĩgwe thĩ mũtego-inĩ hatarĩ kĩndũ gĩa kũmĩheenereria? Mũtego-rĩ, no ũtegũke, uume thĩ ũtagwatĩtie kĩndũ?
Will a bird fall upon a net to the earth, when there is no, snare, for it? Will a net rise from the ground, when it hath, captured nothing?
6 Karumbeta no kahuhwo itũũra-inĩ inene, na andũ mage gwĩtigĩra? Mũtino no ũũke itũũra-inĩ inene, na gũtuĩke ti Jehova ũũrehete?
Or a horn be blown in a city, and, a people, not tremble? Or calamity happen in a city, and, Yahweh, not have wrought with effect?
7 Ti-itherũ Mwathani Jehova ndarĩ ũndũ angĩĩka atamenyithĩtie anabii, ndungata ciake, ũrĩa atuĩte gwĩka.
Surely My Lord Yahweh, will do, nothing, —except he have disclosed his secret unto his servants, the prophets!
8 Mũrũũthi nĩũraramĩte, nũũ ũtangĩĩtigĩra? Mwathani Jehova nĩarĩtie, nũũ ũtangĩratha maũndũ?
A lion, hath roared, Who will not fear? My Lord Yahweh, hath spoken, Who can forbear to 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.”
Announce it over the palaces in Ashdod, and over the palaces in the land of Egypt, —and say ye—Gather yourselves together upon the mountains of Samaria, and behold ye—the great disorders in the midst thereof, and the oppressed within her.
10 Jehova ekuuga atĩrĩ: “Andũ arĩa mahĩbaga indo cia gũtunyana na indo cia ndaho kũu ciĩhitho-inĩ nũmu ciao, matiũĩ gwĩka ũrĩa kwagĩrĩire.”
Therefore do they not know how to do right, Declareth Yahweh, who are treasuring up violence and spoil 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, saith My Lord, Yahweh, An adversary! Yea round about the land, —and he who shall bring down, from thee, thy strength, And spoiled shall be thy palaces.
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, saith Yahweh, Just as a shepherd rescueth, out of the mouth of the lion, a couple of shankbones, or the tip of an ear, so, shall be rescued the sons of Israel, who are tarrying in Samaria, in the corner of the divan, and on the damask of the luxurious couch.
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 bear witness, throughout the house of Jacob, —Commandeth My Lord, Yahweh, 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.
That, in the day I visit the transgressions of Israel upon him, then will I punish, concerning the altars of Bethel, So shall the horns of the altar, be broken off, and they shall 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 along with the summer house, —and the houses of ivory, shall be destroyed! and the great houses, shall disappear, Declareth Yahweh.
