Amosi 7
1 Mwathani Jehova aanyonirie ũũ: Nĩkũhaarĩria aharagĩria mĩrumbĩ ya ngigĩ thuutha wa magetha marĩa maagethagĩrwo mũthamaki, o ihinda rĩrĩa kĩmera gĩa keerĩ kĩambagĩrĩria.
Thus hath the Lord God shewed vnto mee, and beholde, he formed grashoppers in the beginning of ye shooting vp of the latter grouth: and loe, it was in the latter grouth after the Kings mowing.
2 Ciarĩkia kũrĩa tũhuti tuothe, bũrũri ũgĩthera biũ, ngĩkaya ngiuga atĩrĩ, “Mwathani Jehova, marekere! Jakubu-rĩ, angĩhonoka gĩkuũ atĩa? Nĩgũkorwo nĩ mũnini mũno!”
And when they had made an ende of eating the grasse of the land, then I saide, O Lord God, spare, I beseeche thee: who shall raise vp Iaakob? for he is small.
3 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Jehova akĩigua tha. Jehova akiuga atĩrĩ, “Ũndũ ũcio ndũgwĩkĩka.”
So the Lord repented for this. It shall not be, saith the Lord.
4 Ningĩ Mwathani Jehova akĩnyonia ũũ: Mwathani Jehova nĩ gwĩtia eetagia mwaki amaciirithie naguo; mwaki ũcio ũkĩniaria maaĩ ma kũrĩa kũriku mũno, na ũkĩniina bũrũri.
Thus also hath the Lord God shewed vnto me, and behold, the Lord God called to iudgement by fire, and it deuoured the great deepe, and did eate vp a part.
5 Ningĩ ngĩkaya, ngiuga atĩrĩ, “Mwathani Jehova ndagũthaitha, tiga! Jakubu-rĩ, angĩhonoka gĩkuũ atĩa? Nĩgũkorwo nĩ mũnini mũno!”
Then said I, O Lord God, cease, I beseeche thee: who shall raise vp Iaakob? for he is small.
6 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Jehova akĩigua tha. Mwathani Jehova akiuga atĩrĩ, “Ũndũ ũcio o naguo ndũgwĩkĩka.”
So the Lord repented for this. This also shall not be, saith the Lord God.
7 Ningĩ akĩnyonia ũũ: Mwathani aarũgamĩte rũthingo-inĩ rwakĩtwo na rũgathimwo wega na kabirũ nake anyiitĩte rũrigi rwa kabirũ na guoko.
Thus againe he shewed me, and behold, the Lord stoode vpon a wall made by line with a line in his hand.
8 Nake Jehova akĩnjũũria atĩrĩ, “Amosi, nĩ kĩĩ ũroona”? Na niĩ ngĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ: “Nĩ kabirũ ndĩrona.” Ningĩ Jehova akĩnjĩĩra atĩrĩ, nĩ kabirũ ndĩracuuria gatagatĩ ka andũ akwa a Isiraeli, ndigacooka kũmaiguĩra tha rĩngĩ.
And the Lord saide vnto me, Amos, what seest thou? And I said, A line. Then said the Lord, Beholde, I wil set a line in the middes of my people Israel, and wil passe by them no more.
9 “Kũndũ kũrĩa gũtũũgĩru kwa Isaaka nĩgũkaniinwo, na kũndũ kũrĩa kwamũre kwa Isiraeli nĩgũkanangwo; na nĩngokĩrĩra nyũmba ya Jeroboamu na rũhiũ rwakwa rwa njora.”
And the hye places of Izhak shalbe desolate, and the temples of Israel shalbe destroyed: and I wil rise against the house of Ieroboam with the sworde.
10 Nake Amazia mũthĩnjĩri-ngai wa Betheli agĩtũmana kũrĩ Jeroboamu, mũthamaki wa Isiraeli, akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Amosi nĩagũciirĩire agũũkĩrĩre arĩ o gũkũ thĩinĩ wa Isiraeli. Bũrũri ndũngĩhota gũkirĩrĩria ndeto ciake ciothe.
Then Amaziah the Priest of Beth-el sent to Ieroboam King of Israel, saying, Amos hath conspired against thee in the middes of the house of Israel: the lande is not able to beare all his wordes.
11 Nĩgũkorwo Amosi aroiga atĩrĩ: “‘Jeroboamu akooragwo na rũhiũ rwa njora, na ti-itherũ andũ a Isiraeli nĩmagatahwo, matwarwo kũraya na bũrũri wao.’”
For thus Amos saith, Ieroboam shall die by the sworde, and Israel shalbe led away captiue out of their owne land.
12 Ningĩ Amazia akĩĩra Amosi atĩrĩ, “Umagara wee muoni-maũndũ ũyũ! Cooka bũrũri wa Juda. Wĩcaragĩrie gĩa kũrĩa kuo, na ũrathage maũndũ ũrĩ kuo.
Also Amaziah sayde vnto Amos, O thou the Seer, goe, flee thou away into the land of Iudah, and there eate thy bread and prophecie there.
13 Ndũkaarathĩre ũhoro rĩngĩ gũkũ Betheli tondũ gũkũ nĩkuo kwamũrĩirwo gĩikaro kĩa mũthamaki na hekarũ ya ũthamaki.”
But prophecie no more at Beth-el: for it is the Kings chappel, and it is the Kings court.
14 Amosi agĩcookeria Amazia atĩrĩ, “Niĩ-rĩ, ndiarĩ mũnabii kana mũrũ wa mũnabii, no ndaarĩ mũrĩithi wa mahiũ na ningĩ mũmenyereri wa mĩkũyũ.
Then answered Amos, and said to Amaziah, I was no Prophet, neither was I a prophets sonne, but I was an herdman, and a gatherer of wilde figs.
15 No Jehova akĩnduta rũũru-inĩ rwa mahiũ akĩnjĩĩra atĩrĩ, ‘Thiĩ ũkarathĩre andũ akwa a Isiraeli ũhoro.’
And the Lord tooke me as I followed the flocke, and the Lord said vnto me, Go, prophecie vnto my people Israel.
16 Na rĩrĩ, kĩigue ũhoro wa Jehova. Wee ũroiga atĩrĩ, “‘Ndũkarathĩre Isiraeli ũndũ mũũru, na ũtige kũhunjia maũndũ ma gũũkĩrĩra nyũmba ya Isaaka.’
Now therefore heare thou the word of the Lord. Thou sayest, Prophecie not against Israel, and speake nothing against the house of Izhak.
17 “Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Jehova ekuuga ũũ: “‘Mũtumia waku nĩagatuĩka mũmaraya itũũra-inĩ inene, nao aanake aku na airĩtu aku makooragwo na rũhiũ rwa njora. Bũrũri waku ũgaathimwo na ũgayanio, na wee mwene-rĩ, ũgaakuĩra bũrũri wa andũ matooĩ Ngai. Na ti-itherũ andũ a Isiraeli no nginya magaatahwo, matwarwo kũraya na bũrũri wao.’”
Therefore thus sayth the Lord, Thy wife shall be an harlot in the citie, and thy sonnes and thy daughters shall fall by the sword, and thy land shall be deuided by line: and thou shalt die in a polluted land, and Israel shall surely go into captiuitie forth of his land.
