Amosi 9

1 Nĩndonire Mwathani arũgamĩte kĩgongona-inĩ, nake akiuga atĩrĩ: “Gũtha ciongo cia itugĩ, nĩgeetha hingĩro cia nyũmba cienyenye. Hingĩro icio nĩigwĩre mĩtwe ya andũ othe, na arĩa magatigara nĩngamooraga na rũhiũ rwa njora. Gũtirĩ o na ũmwe ũkoora; gũtirĩ ũkaahonoka.

I saw the Lord standing on the altar: and he said, Strike the mercy-seat, and the porch shall be shaken: and cut through into the heads of all; and I will kill the remnant of them with the sword: no one of them fleeing shall escape, and no one of them, striving to save himself shall be delivered.

2 O na mangĩkenja thĩ makinye kwa ngoma, guoko gwakwa no gũkaamaruta kuo. O na mangĩkaahaica igũrũ, nĩngamaharũrũkia kuuma kuo. (Sheol h7585)

Though they hid themselves in hell, thence shall my hand drag them forth; and though they go up to heaven, thence will I bring them down. (Sheol h7585)

3 O na mangĩkehitha igũrũ rĩa kĩrĩma gĩa Karimeli, nĩngamaguĩma kuo ndĩmanyiite. O na mangĩkehitha mathiĩ rungu rwa iria-rĩ, o nakuo nĩngatha nyoka ĩmarũme.

If they hide themselves in the top of Carmel, thence will I search [them] out and take them; and if they should go down from my presence into the depths of the sea, there will I command the serpent, and he shall bite them.

4 O na mangĩgaatwarwo ithaamĩrio nĩ thũ ciao, nĩngathana mooragĩrwo kuo na rũhiũ rwa njora. Ngamakũũrĩra maitho makwa, maitho ma ũũru, no ti ma wega.”

And if they should go into captivity before the face of their enemies, there will I command the sword, and it shall kill them: and I will set mine eyes against them for evil, and not for good.

5 Mwathani, o we Jehova Mwene-Hinya-Wothe, ũrĩa ũhutagia thĩ, ĩgatweka, nao arĩa othe matũũraga kuo magacakaya, bũrũri wothe nĩkũiyũra ũiyũrĩte ta Rũũĩ rwa Nili, ningĩ ũkahũcũka ta rũũĩ rwa Misiri,

And the Lord, the Lord God Almighty, [is he] that takes hold of the land, and causes it to shake, and all that inhabit it shall mourn; and its destruction shall go up as a river, and shall descend as the river of Egypt.

6 we ũrĩa wakaga gĩikaro gĩake kĩa ũthamaki kĩraihu kũu igũrũ, na akahaanda gĩtina gĩakĩo gũkũ thĩ, ũrĩa wĩtaga maaĩ ma iria rĩrĩa inene, na akamaitũrũra gũkũ thĩ-rĩ, Jehova nĩrĩo rĩĩtwa rĩake.

[It is he] that builds his ascent up to the sky, and establishes his promise on the earth; who calls the water of the sea, and pours it out on the face of the earth; the Lord Almighty is his name.

7 Jehova ekuuga atĩrĩ: “Githĩ inyuĩ andũ a Isiraeli mũtihaana andũ a Kushi harĩ niĩ? Githĩ ti niĩ ndaarutire na ngĩambatia andũ a Isiraeli kuuma bũrũri wa Misiri, na Afilisti kuuma Kafitori, na Asuriata ngĩmaruta Kiri?

Are not you to me as the sons of the Ethiopians, O children of Israel? says the Lord. Did I not bring Israel up out of the land of Egypt, and the Philistines from Cappadocia, and the Syrians out of the deep?

8 “Ti-itherũ, maitho ma Mwathani Jehova nĩmacũthagĩrĩria makona ũthamaki ũrĩa wĩhagia. Nĩngawananga, ũthire gũkũ thĩ, no ndikaananga nyũmba ya Jakubu biũ,” ũguo nĩguo Jehova ekuuga.

Behold, the eyes of the Lord God are upon the kingdom of sinners, and I will cut it off from the face of the earth; only I will not utterly cut off the house of Jacob, says the Lord.

9 “Nĩgũkorwo nĩngathana, na nĩngainainia nyũmba ya Isiraeli gatagatĩ-inĩ ka ndũrĩrĩ ciothe, o ta ũrĩa ngano ĩinainagio ĩrĩ gĩcungi-inĩ, na gũkaaga kahĩndĩ kangĩgũa thĩ.

For I [will] give commandment, and sift the house of Israel among all the Gentiles, as [corn] is sifted in a sieve, and [yet] a fragment shall not in any wise fall upon the earth.

10 Andũ arĩa othe ehia thĩinĩ wa andũ akwa makooragwo na rũhiũ rwa njora, o arĩa othe moigaga atĩrĩ, ‘Tũtingĩkorererwo nĩ mũtino, kana ũtũtũnge.’

All the sinners of my people shall die by the sword, who say, Calamities shall certainly not draw near, nor come upon us.

11 “Mũthenya ũcio nĩngacookereria hema ya Daudi ĩrĩa ĩgwĩte, thondeke kũrĩa yunĩkangĩte, na njookererie kũrĩa yanangĩtwo, na ndĩmĩake o ta ũrĩa yatariĩ mbere,

In that day I will raise up the tabernacle of David that is fallen, and will rebuild the ruins of it, and will set up the parts thereof that have been broken down, and will build it up as in the ancient days:

12 nĩgeetha makegwatĩra matigari ma Edomu, na ndũrĩrĩ ciothe iria ciĩtanagio na rĩĩtwa rĩakwa,” ũguo nĩguo Jehova ekuuga, ũrĩa ũgeeka maũndũ macio.

that the remnant of men, and all the Gentiles upon whom my name is called, may earnestly seek [me], says the Lord who does all these things.

13 Jehova ekuuga atĩrĩ, “Matukũ nĩmarooka, “rĩrĩa mũgethi agaakorererwo nĩ mũciimbi, nake mũhaandi akorererwo nĩ mũndũ ũrĩa ũhihaga thabibũ. Ndibei ya mũhihano ĩgaatataga kuuma irĩma-inĩ, na ĩthererage kuuma tũrĩma-inĩ tuothe.

Behold, the days come, says the Lord, when the harvest shall overtake the vintage, and the grapes shall ripen at seed time; and the mountains shall drop sweet wine, and all the hills shall be planted.

14 Nĩngacookia andũ akwa a Isiraeli arĩa maatahĩtwo, nao macookererie matũũra manene marĩa maanangĩtwo, matũũre kuo; ningĩ marĩme mĩgũnda ya mĩthabibũ na manyuuage ndibei yayo. Magathondeka mĩgũnda ya irio na marĩĩage maciaro mayo.

And I will turn the captivity of my people Israel, and they shall rebuild the ruined cities, and shall inhabit [them]; and they shall plant vineyards, and shall drink the wine from them; and they shall form gardens, and eat the fruit of them.

15 Niĩ ngaahaanda Isiraeli bũrũri wao ene, na matigacooka kũrutwo rĩngĩ bũrũri ũcio niĩ ndĩmaheete,” ũguo nĩguo Jehova Ngai wanyu ekuuga.

And I will plant them on their land, and they shall no more be plucked up from the land which I have given them, says the Lord God Almighty.
