< Amosi 1 >
1 Ũyũ nĩguo ũhoro wa Amosi, ũmwe wa arĩithi arĩa maarĩithagia Tekoa, wa ũndũ ũrĩa onire ũkoniĩ Isiraeli mĩaka ĩĩrĩ mbere ya gĩthingithia, hĩndĩ ĩrĩa Uzia aarĩ mũthamaki wa Juda nake Jeroboamu mũrũ wa Joashu aarĩ mũthamaki wa Isiraeli.
The words of Amos, who was among the herdsmen of Tekoa, which he saw concerning Israel in the days of Uzziah king of Judah, and in the days of Jeroboam the son of Joash king of Israel, two years before the earthquake.
2 Oigire atĩrĩ: “Jehova araramaga arĩ Zayuni, na akaruruma arĩ Jerusalemu; ũrĩithio wa arĩithi a mbũri nĩũkooma, nako gacũmbĩrĩ ga Karimeli kahoohe.”
And he said, Jehovah will roar from Zion, and utter his voice from Jerusalem, and the pastures of the shepherds shall mourn, and the top of Carmel shall wither.
3 Jehova ekuuga atĩrĩ: “Nĩ ũndũ wa mehia matatũ ma Dameski, o na mana-rĩ, niĩ ndikahũndũra mangʼũrĩ makwa. Tondũ nĩahũũrire Gileadi na ibũi irĩ na magego ma kĩgera,
Thus says Jehovah: For three transgressions of Damascus, yea, for four, I will not turn away the punishment of it, because they have threshed Gilead with threshing instruments of iron.
4 nĩngaitĩrĩria nyũmba ya Hazaeli mwaki ũrĩa ũgaacina ciĩhitho iria nũmu cia Beni-Hadadi.
But I will send a fire into the house of Hazael, and it shall devour the palaces of Ben-hadad.
5 Nĩngoinanga kĩhingo kĩa Dameski; nĩngananga mũthamaki ũrĩa ũtũũraga Gĩtuamba kĩa Aveni, na niine ũrĩa ũnyiitĩte njũgũma ya wathani kũu Bethi-Edeni. Andũ a Suriata nĩmagatahwo matwarwo Kiri,” ũguo nĩguo Jehova ekuuga.
And I will break the bar of Damascus, and cut off the inhabitant from the valley of Aven, and he who holds the scepter from the house of Eden, and the people of Syria shall go into captivity to Kir, says Jehovah.
6 Jehova ekuuga atĩrĩ: “Nĩ ũndũ wa mehia matatũ ma Gaza, o na mana-rĩ, niĩ ndikahũndũra mangʼũrĩ makwa. Tondũ nĩanyiitire kĩrĩndĩ gĩothe mĩgwate, agĩkĩendia kũu Edomu.
Thus says Jehovah: For three transgressions of Gaza, yea, for four, I will not turn away the punishment of it, because they carried away captive the whole people, to deliver them up to Edom.
7 Nĩngaitĩrĩria thingo cia Gaza mwaki ũrĩa ũgaacina ciĩhitho iria nũmu ciakuo.
But I will send a fire on the wall of Gaza, and it shall devour the palaces of it.
8 Nĩngananga mũthamaki wa Ashidodi, na niine ũrĩa ũnyiitĩte njũgũma ya wathani kũu Ashikeloni. Guoko gwakwa nĩgũgokĩrĩra Ekironi, o nginya hĩndĩ ĩrĩa Mũfilisti wa mũthia agaakua,” ũguo nĩguo Mwathani Jehova ekuuga.
And I will cut off the inhabitant from Ashdod, and him who holds the scepter from Ashkelon. And I will turn my hand against Ekron, and the remnant of the Philistines shall perish, says the lord Jehovah.
9 Ningĩ Jehova ekuuga atĩrĩ: “Nĩ ũndũ wa mehia matatũ ma Turo, o na mana-rĩ, niĩ ndikahũndũra mangʼũrĩ makwa. Tondũ nĩendirie kĩrĩndĩ gĩothe kĩa mĩgwate kũu Edomu, akĩaga gũtĩĩa kĩrĩkanĩro kĩa ũiguano kĩa ariũ a ithe.
Thus says Jehovah: For three transgressions of Tyre, yea, for four, I will not turn away the punishment of it, because they delivered up the whole people to Edom, and did not remember the brotherly covenant.
10 Nĩngaitĩrĩria thingo cia Turo mwaki ũrĩa ũgaacina ciĩhitho iria nũmu ciakuo.”
But I will send a fire on the wall of Tyre, and it shall devour the palaces of it.
11 Jehova ekuuga atĩrĩ: “Nĩ ũndũ wa mehia matatũ ma Edomu, o na mana-rĩ, niĩ ndikahũndũra mangʼũrĩ makwa. Tondũ nĩatengʼeririe mũrũ wa nyina na rũhiũ rwa njora, atarĩ na tha, tondũ marakara make mahiũ matiathiraga, na mangʼũrĩ make makĩrĩrĩmbũka matekũhoreka,
Thus says Jehovah: For three transgressions of Edom, yea, for four, I will not turn away the punishment of it, because he pursued his brother with the sword, and cast off all pity. And his anger tore perpetually, and he kept his wrath forever.
12 nĩĩngaitĩrĩria Temani mwaki ũrĩa ũgaacina ciĩhitho iria nũmu cia Bozara.”
But I will send a fire upon Teman, and it shall devour the palaces of Bozrah.
13 Jehova ekuuga atĩrĩ: “Nĩ ũndũ wa mehia matatũ ma Amoni, o na mana-rĩ, niĩ ndikahũndũra mangʼũrĩ makwa. Tondũ nĩatarũrire nda cia andũ-a-nja a Gileadi arĩa maarĩ na nda, nĩgeetha aaramie mĩhaka ya gwake.
Thus says Jehovah: For three transgressions of the sons of Ammon, yea, for four, I will not turn away the punishment of it, because they have ripped up the women with child of Gilead, that they may enlarge their border.
14 Nĩngaitĩrĩria thingo cia Raba mwaki ũrĩa ũgaacina ciĩhitho iria nũmu ciakuo, gatagatĩ-inĩ ka mbugĩrĩrio ya mbaara mũthenya ũcio wa mbaara, ũhaana ta rũhuho rũnene mũthenya wa kĩhuhũkanio.
But I will kindle a fire in the wall of Rabbah, and it shall devour the palaces of it, with shouting in the day of battle, with a tempest in the day of the whirlwind.
15 Mũthamaki wakuo nĩagatahwo, athaamio, we mwene, hamwe na anene ake,” ũguo nĩguo Jehova ekuuga.
And their king shall go into captivity, he and his rulers together, says Jehovah.
