The words of Amos, who was among the herdmen 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 roareth from Zion, and uttereth his voice from Jerusalem; and the pastures of the shepherds mourn, and the top of Carmel withereth.
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 saith Jehovah: For three transgressions of Damascus, and for four, I will not revoke [my sentence], because they have threshed Gilead with threshing instruments of iron.
4 nĩngaitĩrĩria nyũmba ya Hazaeli mwaki ũrĩa ũgaacina ciĩhitho iria nũmu cia Beni-Hadadi.
And 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 him that holdeth the sceptre from Beth-Eden; and the people of Syria shall go into captivity unto Kir, saith 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 saith Jehovah: For three transgressions of Gazah, and for four, I will not revoke its sentence; because they carried away captive the whole captivity, to deliver [them] up to Edom.
7 Nĩngaitĩrĩria thingo cia Gaza mwaki ũrĩa ũgaacina ciĩhitho iria nũmu ciakuo.
And I will send a fire on the wall of Gazah, and it shall devour the palaces thereof.
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 that holdeth the sceptre from Ashkelon, and I will turn my hand against Ekron; and the remnant of the Philistines shall perish, saith 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 saith Jehovah: For three transgressions of Tyre, and for four, I will not revoke its sentence; because they delivered up the whole captivity to Edom, and remembered not the brotherly covenant.
10 Nĩngaitĩrĩria thingo cia Turo mwaki ũrĩa ũgaacina ciĩhitho iria nũmu ciakuo.”
And I will send a fire on the wall of Tyre, and it shall devour the palaces thereof.
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 saith Jehovah: For three transgressions of Edom, and for four, I will not revoke its sentence; because he pursued his brother with the sword, and cast off all pity; and his anger did tear continually, and he kept his wrath for ever.
12 nĩĩngaitĩrĩria Temani mwaki ũrĩa ũgaacina ciĩhitho iria nũmu cia Bozara.”
And 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 saith Jehovah: For three transgressions of the children of Ammon, and for four, I will not revoke its sentence; because they ripped up the women with child of Gilead, that they might 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.
And I will kindle a fire in the wall of Rabbah, and it shall devour the palaces thereof, 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 princes together, saith Jehovah.
