Amosi 6
1 Kaĩ mũrĩ na haaro-ĩ! inyuĩ mũikaraga mwĩgangarĩte mũrĩ kũu Zayuni, na inyuĩ mũiguaga mũrĩ agitĩre mũrĩ kĩrĩma-igũrũ gĩa Samaria; o inyuĩ mũrĩ igweta thĩinĩ wa rũrĩrĩ rũrĩa rũrĩ mbere ya iria ingĩ, kũrĩa andũ a Isiraeli mathiiaga.
Woe to those who are at ease in Zion, and to those who are secure in the mountain of Samaria, the notable men of the chief of the nations, to whom the house of Israel come!
2 Thiĩi Kaline mũkeyonere kuo, ningĩ muume kuo mũthiĩ nginya Hamathu, itũũra rĩu inene, mũcooke mũikũrũke mũkinye Gathu kwa Afilisti. Anga acio nĩega magakĩra mothamaki manyu meerĩ? Bũrũri wao-rĩ, nĩ mũnene gũkĩra wanyu?
Pass ye to Calneh, and see, and from there go ye to Hamath the great, then go down to Gath of the Philistines. Are they better than these kingdoms? Or is their border greater than your border?
3 Inyuĩ mũtĩĩragia mũthenya wa ũũru, na mũkareharehe wathani wa ũhinya ũkuhĩrĩrie.
Ye who put far away the evil day, and cause the seat of violence to come near,
4 Mũkomagĩra marĩrĩ magemetio na mĩguongo, na mũgetambũrũkia itanda-inĩ cianyu. Mũrĩĩaga tũgondu tũrĩa twega mũno, na tũcaũ tũrĩa tũnoru.
who lie upon beds of ivory, and stretch themselves upon their couches, and eat the lambs out of the flock, and the calves out of the midst of the stall,
5 Mũtiindaga mũkĩhũũra inanda cianyu cia mũgeeto o ta Daudi, na mũgethondekera inanda ingĩ cia kũina nacio.
who sing idle songs to the sound of the viol, who invent for themselves instruments of music, like David,
6 Mũnyuuaga ndibei mbakũri riita, na mũkehakaga maguta marĩa mega mũno, no mũtiiguaga kĩeha nĩ ũndũ wa mwanangĩko wa Jusufu.
who drink wine in bowls, and anoint themselves with the chief oils, but they are not grieved for the affliction of Joseph.
7 Tondũ ũcio-rĩ, mũgaatuĩka a mbere gũtahwo; ndĩa cianyu na gũikara mwĩtambũrũkĩtie ithire.
Therefore they shall now go captive with the first who go captive, and the revelry of those who stretched themselves shall pass away.
8 Mwathani Jehova nĩehĩtĩte akĩĩgwetaga we mwene, o we Jehova Ngai Mwene-Hinya-Wothe, akoiga atĩrĩ: “Nĩthũire mwĩtĩĩo wa Jakubu, na ngamena ciĩhitho ciake iria nũmu; nĩngarekereria itũũra rĩu inene na kĩrĩa gĩothe kĩrĩ thĩinĩ warĩo kũrĩ thũ.”
The lord Jehovah has sworn by himself, says Jehovah, the God of hosts: I abhor the excellency of Jacob, and hate his palaces, therefore I will deliver up the city with all that is therein.
9 Andũ ikũmi mangĩgatigara thĩinĩ wa nyũmba ĩmwe-rĩ, o nao no magaakua.
And it shall come to pass, if there remain ten men in one house, that they shall die.
10 Nake mũndũ wao ũrĩa wa gũcina mĩĩrĩ ĩyo angĩũka kũmiumia nja ya nyũmba na orie mũndũ ũrĩa wĩhithĩte kuo thĩinĩ atĩrĩ, “Kũrĩ mũndũ ũngĩ ũtakuĩte mũrĩ nake?” Nake oige atĩrĩ, “Aca.” Nake acookie oige atĩrĩ, “Kira ki! Tũtikagwete rĩĩtwa rĩa Jehova.”
And when a man's uncle shall take him up, even he who burns him, to bring out the bones out of the house, and shall say to him who is in the innermost parts of the house, Is there yet any with thee? and he shall say, No, then he shall say, Hold thy peace, for we may not make mention of the name of Jehovah.
11 Nĩgũkorwo Jehova nĩathanĩte, nake nĩagathutha nyũmba ĩrĩa nene ĩtuĩke icunjĩ, na nyũmba ĩrĩa nini ituĩke tũcunjĩ.
For, behold, Jehovah commands, and the great house shall be smitten with breaches, and the little house with clefts.
12 Kaĩ mbarathi ingĩhota gũtengʼera nyanjara-inĩ cia mahiga? Kũrĩ mũndũ ũngĩrĩma kuo na mũraũ wa ndegwa? No inyuĩ mũgarũrĩte kĩhooto gĩgatuĩka ũrogi, na matunda ma ũthingu magatuĩka ũrũrũ,
Shall horses run upon the rock? Will a man plow there with oxen? That ye have turned justice into gall, and the fruit of righteousness into wormwood,
13 inyuĩ arĩa mũkenagĩra ũhootani ũrĩa ũtarĩ ho, na mũkoigaga atĩrĩ, “Githĩ tũtiatunyanire Karinaimu na hinya witũ ithuĩ ene?”
ye who rejoice in a thing of nothing, who say, Have we not taken to us horns by our own strength?
14 Nĩgũkorwo Jehova Ngai Mwene-Hinya-Wothe ekuuga atĩrĩ, “Nĩngarahũra rũrĩrĩ rũgũũkĩrĩre, wee nyũmba ya Isiraeli, rũrĩa rũgakũhinyĩrĩria kuuma itoonyero rĩa Hamathu, o nginya mũkuru wa Araba.”
For, behold, I will raise up against you a nation, O house of Israel, says Jehovah, the God of hosts, and they shall afflict you from the entrance of Hamath to the brook of the Arabah.
