< 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 towering above the altar, and he commanded: Strike the tops of the pillars so that the foundations may shake, bring them down on the heads of the people below. The rest of them I will slay with the sword: no one will get away, no one will escape.
2 O na mangĩkenja thĩ makinye kwa ngoma, guoko gwakwa no gũkaamaruta kuo. O na mangĩkaahaica igũrũ, nĩngamaharũrũkia kuuma kuo. (Sheol )
If they dig down to Sheol, there will my hand take them. If they climb up to the heavens, from there will I bring them down. (Sheol )
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 on the top of Carmel, there will I search them out and take them. If they hide out of my sight at the bottom of the sea, there will I command the sea serpent to 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.”
If they are taken into captivity by their enemies, there will I command the sword to slay them. I will keep my eye on them but 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,
It is the Lord the God of hosts, who touches the earth and it trembles, all who live on it mourn. The earth rises up like the Nile, and sinks like the Nile 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.
The one who builds in the heavens, who sets the dome of the sky over the earth, who summons the waters of the sea and pours them out on the face of the earth: the Lord 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?
To me, Israelites, you are just like the Cushites, says the Lord. Yes, I brought Israel up out of the land of Egypt, but also the Philistines from Caphtor, and the Arameans from Kir!
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 on the sinful kingdom: I will destroy it from the face of the earth! But I will not completely destroy 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 behold I am about to give the command, and I will shake the house of Israel among all the nations just as one shakes grain in a sieve, but not a pebble shall fall to the ground.
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, who deny that disaster will touch or befall them, will die by the sword.
11 “Mũthenya ũcio nĩngacookereria hema ya Daudi ĩrĩa ĩgwĩte, thondeke kũrĩa yunĩkangĩte, na njookererie kũrĩa yanangĩtwo, na ndĩmĩake o ta ũrĩa yatariĩ mbere,
On that day I will raise up the fallen house of David, I will wall up its gaps and raise up its ruins, I will rebuild it as it was long ago.
12 nĩgeetha makegwatĩra matigari ma Edomu, na ndũrĩrĩ ciothe iria ciĩtanagio na rĩĩtwa rĩakwa,” ũguo nĩguo Jehova ekuuga, ũrĩa ũgeeka maũndũ macio.
They will possess again the rest of Edom, and all the nations which once you ruled for me, says the Lord, who will do this.
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.
Listen! The days are coming, says the Lord, when the harvest is too big to reap before it is time to plow, when the grapes cannot be all trod before it is time to sow, when the mountains will run with sweet wine, and every hill will flow with it.
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.
I will bring back my people Israel, they will rebuild waste cities and inhabit them, plant vineyards and drink their wine, make gardens and eat their fruit.
15 Niĩ ngaahaanda Isiraeli bũrũri wao ene, na matigacooka kũrutwo rĩngĩ bũrũri ũcio niĩ ndĩmaheete,” ũguo nĩguo Jehova Ngai wanyu ekuuga.
I will plant them on their own soil, and they will never again be uprooted from their land which I have given them, says the Lord your God.
