Hear ye this word, ye heifers of Bashan, that are in the mountain of Samaria, who oppress the poor, who crush the needy, —who say to their lords, Bring in, and let us 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.
Sworn hath My Lord, Yahweh, by his own holiness, That lo! days, are coming upon you, —when he will take you away with hooks, and your followers with fishhooks;
3 Mũkoimio nja ũmwe kwa ũmwe, muumĩrio mĩanya-inĩ ya rũthingo, na mũikanio na kũu Harimoni,” ũguo nĩguo Jehova ekuuga.
And, through fissures, shall ye go out, every woman, straight before her, —and ye shall be thrust forth towards the castle, Declareth Yahweh.
4 “Thiĩi Betheli mũkeehie; o na thiĩi Giligali mũgakĩrĩrĩrie kwĩhia. Rutagai magongona manyu o rũciinĩ, mũrutage gĩcunjĩ kĩanyu gĩa ikũmi o mĩaka ĩtatũ.
Enter ye Bethel, and transgress, At Gilgal, cause transgression, to abound, —Yea, carry in, every morning, your sacrifices, every three days, your tithes;
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.
Yea, burn thou incense, of that which is leavened, as a thank-offering, and proclaim ye freewill-offerings, let them be known, —for, so, ye love [to have it], ye sons of Israel, Declareth My Lord, Yahweh.
6 “Ndaatũmire mũhũte mũrĩ matũũra-inĩ manyu manene, na ngĩtũma mwage irio matũũra-inĩ, no rĩrĩ, inyuĩ mũtiigana kũnjookerera,” ũguo nĩguo Jehova ekuuga.
Moreover also, I, have given you cleanness of teeth throughout all your cities, and want of bread throughout all your dwelling-places, —Yet have ye not returned unto me, Declareth Yahweh.
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.
Moreover also, I, have withholden from you the abundant rain, when yet there were only three mouths to the harvest, Or I might rain upon one city, and, on another city, might not rain, —One portion, would be rained upon, and, the portion whereupon it should not rain, would 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.
Then would two or three cities totter to one city to drink water, without being satisfied, —Yet have ye not returned unto me, Declareth Yahweh.
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 have smitten you with blight and with mildew, When your gardens and your vineyards and your fig-trees and your olive-trees have increased, the creeping locust would devour them, —Yet have ye not returned unto me, Declareth Yahweh.
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 have sent among you pestilence, in the manner of Egypt, I have slain, with the sword, your young men, and therewith have been taken captive your horses, And I have caused to ascend—the stench of your camps, even into your own nostrils, Yet ye have not returned unto me, Declareth Yahweh.
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 have made an overthrew among you, like the divine overthrow of Sodom and Gomorrah, and ye have become like a brand snatched out of the burning, —Yet hate ye not returned unto me, Declareth Yahweh.
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 unto thee, O Israel, —Because this thing I will do unto thee, Prepare to meet 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 lo! He that fashioned the mountains, and created the wind, and who telleth the son of earth what is his thought, who turneth dawn into darkness, and marcheth upon the high places of the earth, Yahweh, God of hosts, is his name!
