Hear ye this word, ye heifers of the land of Basan that are in the mountain of Samaria, that oppress the poor, and trample on the needy, which say to their masters, Give us that we may drink.
2 Mwathani Jehova nĩehĩtĩte na ũtheru wake, akoiga atĩrĩ, “Ti-itherũ ihinda nĩrĩroka rĩrĩa mũkaguucũrũrio na mboorio, na ũrĩa wanyu ũgaatigara aguucũrũrio na ndwano.
The Lord swears by his holiness, that, behold, the days come upon you, when they shall take you with weapons, and fiery destroyers shall cast those with you into boiling caldrons.
3 Mũkoimio nja ũmwe kwa ũmwe, muumĩrio mĩanya-inĩ ya rũthingo, na mũikanio na kũu Harimoni,” ũguo nĩguo Jehova ekuuga.
And ye shall be brought forth naked in the presence of each other; and ye shall be cast forth on the mountain Romman, saith the Lord.
4 “Thiĩi Betheli mũkeehie; o na thiĩi Giligali mũgakĩrĩrĩrie kwĩhia. Rutagai magongona manyu o rũciinĩ, mũrutage gĩcunjĩ kĩanyu gĩa ikũmi o mĩaka ĩtatũ.
Ye went into Bethel, and sinned, and ye multiplied sin at Galgala; and ye brought your meat-offerings in the morning, [and] your tithes every third day.
5 Cinagai mĩgate ĩĩkĩrĩtwo ndawa ya kũimbia, ĩtuĩke igongona rĩa gũcookia ngaatho, na mwĩrahage nĩ ũndũ wa maruta manyu ma kwĩyendera, na mwĩtĩĩage nĩ ũndũ wamo, inyuĩ andũ a Isiraeli, nĩgũkorwo ũguo nĩguo mwendaga gwĩka,” ũguo nĩguo Mwathani Jehova ekuuga.
And they read the law without, and called for public professions: proclaim aloud that the children of Israel have loved these things, saith the Lord.
6 “Ndaatũmire mũhũte mũrĩ matũũra-inĩ manyu manene, na ngĩtũma mwage irio matũũra-inĩ, no rĩrĩ, inyuĩ mũtiigana kũnjookerera,” ũguo nĩguo Jehova ekuuga.
And I will give you dullness of teeth in all your cities, and want of bread in all your places: yet ye returned not to me, saith the Lord.
7 “O na ningĩ ngĩmũima mbura, hĩndĩ ĩrĩa magetha maatigĩtie o mĩeri ĩtatũ. Nĩndoiririe mbura itũũra rĩmwe, no ngĩaga kuuria itũũra rĩrĩa rĩngĩ. Mũgũnda ũmwe ũkiurĩrwo; ũrĩa ũngĩ ũkĩaga kuurĩrwo, ũkĩũma.
Also I withheld from you the rain three months before the harvest: and I will rain upon one city, and on another city I will not rain: one part shall be rained upon, and the part on which I shall not rain shall be dried up.
8 Andũ magĩtũgũũga kuuma itũũra rĩmwe nginya rĩrĩa rĩngĩ magĩcaria maaĩ, no mationire maaĩ maiganu ma kũnyua, no rĩrĩ, inyuĩ mũtiigana kũnjookerera,” ũguo nĩguo Jehova ekuuga.
And [the inhabitants of] two or three cities shall be gathered to one city to drink water, and they shall not be satisfied: yet ye have not returned to me, saith the Lord.
9 “Mahinda maingĩ nĩndahũũrire mĩgũnda yanyu ya irio na ya mĩthabibũ, ngĩmĩhũũra na mbaa, na mbuu. Ngigĩ nĩciarĩire mĩtĩ yanyu ya mĩkũyũ na ya mĩtamaiyũ, no rĩrĩ, inyuĩ mũtiigana kũnjookerera,” ũguo nĩguo Jehova ekuuga.
I smote you with parching, and with blight: ye multiplied your gardens, your vineyards, and your fig-grounds, and the cankerworm devoured your olive-yards: yet not [even] thus did ye return to me, saith the Lord.
10 “Nĩndamũrehithĩirie mĩthiro ta ũrĩa ndeekire bũrũri wa Misiri. Aanake anyu ngĩmoragithia na rũhiũ rwa njora, na ngĩmũtunya mbarathi cianyu. Ngĩtũma mũnungo wa ciimba kuuma kambĩ yanyu ũnungĩrĩre maniũrũ manyu, no rĩrĩ, inyuĩ mũtiigana kũnjookerera,” ũguo nĩguo Jehova ekuuga.
I sent pestilence among you by the way of Egypt, and slew your young men with the sword, together with thy horses that were taken captive; and in my wrath against you I set fire to your camps: yet not even thus did ye return to me, saith the Lord.
11 “Nĩndangʼaũranirie amwe anyu ta ũrĩa ndangʼaũranirie Sodomu na Gomora. Mwahaanaga ta gĩcinga kĩraakana kĩrutĩtwo mwaki-inĩ, no rĩrĩ, inyuĩ mũtiigana kũnjookerera,” ũguo nĩguo Jehova ekuuga.
I overthrew you, as God overthrew Sodoma and Gomorrha, and ye became as a brand plucked out of the fire: yet not even thus did ye return to me, saith the Lord.
12 “Nĩ ũndũ ũcio, ũũ nĩguo ngũgwĩka wee Isiraeli, na tondũ nĩngũgwĩka ũguo-rĩ, wĩhaarĩrie gũtũngana na Ngai waku, wee Isiraeli.”
Therefore thus will I do to thee, O Israel: nay because I will do thus to thee, prepare to call on thy God, O Israel.
13 Ũrĩa ũmbaga irĩma nowe ũmbaga rũhuho, na akaguũrĩria mũndũ meciiria make, o we ũtũmaga rũciinĩ kũgĩe nduma, na agathiĩra thĩ kũrĩa gũtũũgĩru, rĩĩtwa rĩake nĩ Jehova Ngai Mwene-Hinya-Wothe.
For, behold, I am he that strengthens the thunder, and creates the wind, and proclaims to men his Christ, forming the morning and the darkness, and mounting on the high places of the earth, The Lord God Almighty is his name.
