Emọs 1
1 Okwu ndị Emọs kwuru, onye bụ otu nʼime ndị ọzụzụ atụrụ nke obodo Tekoa. Ndị a bụ ọhụ ọ hụrụ banyere Izrel. Ọ hụrụ ọhụ a mgbe Uzaya bụ eze ndị Juda. Nʼoge ahụ kwa ka Jeroboam nwa Joash na-achị Izrel. Ọ hụrụ ọhụ a afọ abụọ tupu oke ala ọma jijiji ahụ adịrị.
The words of Amos, one of the shepherds of Tekoa, which he prophesied 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 earth quake. He said: —
2 Ọ sịrị, Onyenwe anyị si nʼugwu Zayọn na-ebigbọ, o si na Jerusalem na-eme ka olu ya daa ụda. Ebe ịta nri nke ndị ọzụzụ atụrụ ga-eru ụjụ. Elu ugwu Kamel ga-akpọnwụkwa.
Jehovah will roar from Zion, And utter his voice from Jerusalem; The habitations of the shepherds shall mourn, And the top of Carmel shall wither.
3 Otu a ka Onyenwe anyị na-ekwu, “Nʼihi njehie atọ nke Damaskọs, na nʼihi njehie ha nke ugboro anọ, agaghị m ahapụ inye ya ntaramahụhụ. Nʼihi na ha azọpịala ndị m nʼime Gilead, ha ji igwe ịzọcha mkpụrụ ọka nwere eze.
Thus saith Jehovah; For three transgressions of Damascus, And for four, will I not turn away its punishment; For they thrashed Gilead with thrashing-wains of iron.
4 Nʼihi ya, aga m esunye ọkụ nʼụlọeze Hazael; ọkụ a ga-erepịakwa ebe niile e wusiri ike nke Ben-Hadad.
I will send a fire upon the house of Hazael, Which shall devour the palaces of Benhadad.
5 Aga m etiji ibo ọnụ ụzọ ama Damaskọs, aga m ekpochapụkwa ndị niile bi na Ndagwurugwu Aven, na onye ahụ mkpara eze dị nʼaka ya, nke nọ na Bet-Eden. Ndị Aram ga-abụkwa ndị a dọtara nʼagha, ndị a ga-adọkpụrụ gaa Kia.” Ka Onyenwe anyị kwuru.
I will also break the bar of Damascus, And I will destroy the inhabitant from the valley of Aven, And him that holdeth the sceptre from Beth-Eden, And the people of Syria shall be led captive to Kir: Jehovah hath said it.
6 Otu a ka Onyenwe anyị na-ekwu, “Nʼihi njehie atọ nke Gaza, e, nʼihi njehie nke anọ, agaghị m ahapụ inye ya ntaramahụhụ, nʼihi na ha dọtara mmadụ niile nʼagha, ranye nʼaka ndị Edọm.
Thus saith Jehovah: For three transgressions of Gaza, And for four, I will not turn away its punishment; For they led captive all that fell into their hands, And delivered them up to Edom.
7 Nʼihi ya, aga m esunye ọkụ na mgbidi niile nke Gaza, ebe ya niile e wusiri ike ga-agba ọkụ.
But I will send a fire upon the wall of Gaza, Which shall devour her palaces.
8 Aga m egbu ndị Ashdọd, ma bibiekwa onye ahụ na-achị Ashkelọn. Aga eweli aka m megide ndị Ekrọn, ruo mgbe ndị Filistia fọdụrụ ga-ala nʼiyi.” Otu a ka Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị sịrị.
And I will destroy the inhabitant from Ashdod, And him that holdeth the sceptre from Ashkelon; And I will turn my hand against Ekron, And the residue of the Philistines shall perish. The Lord, Jehovah, hath said it.
9 Otu a ka Onyenwe anyị na-ekwu, “Nʼihi njehie atọ nke Taịa, e, nʼihi nke anọ, agaghị m ahapụ inye ya ntaramahụhụ. Nʼihi na ha dọkpụrụ ọgbakọ ndị mmadụ renye nʼaka Edọm dịka ohu, ma chefuo ọgbụgba ndụ nwanne na nwanne dị nʼetiti ha.
Thus saith Jehovah: For three transgressions of Tyre, And for four, will I not turn away its punishment; Because they delivered up all their captives to Edom, And remembered not the brotherly covenant.
10 Nʼihi nke a, aga m esunye ọkụ na mgbidi niile nke Taịa; ọ ga-eredakwa ebe ha niile e wusiri ike.”
But I will send a fire on the wall of Tyre, Which shall devour her palaces.
11 Onyenwe anyị na-ekwu, “Nʼihi njehie atọ nke Edọm, e, nʼihi nke anọ, agaghị m ahapụ inye ya ntaramahụhụ. Nʼihi na o ji mma agha chụọ nwanne ya ọsọ, o meghị ebere, kama, o mere ka iwe ya dịgidesie ike; nrubiga oke nke ọnụma ya akwụsịkwaghị akwụsị.
Thus saith Jehovah: For three transgressions of Edom, And for four, will I not turn away his punishment; For he pursued his brother with the sword, And cast off all pity, And his anger tore perpetually; Yea, he kept his wrath forever.
12 Nʼihi ya, aga m esunye ọkụ na Teman; ọ ga-erekwa nʼebe niile e wusiri ike nke Bozra.”
But I will send a fire upon Teman. Which shall devour the palaces of Bozrah.
13 Ma otu a ka Onyenwe anyị na-ekwu, “Nʼihi njehie atọ nke Amọn, e, nʼihi nke anọ, agaghị m ahapụ inye ya ntaramahụhụ, nʼihi na ha were mma agha ha bọwaa afọ ụmụ nwanyị Gilead dị ime, nʼihi ime ka oke ala ha saa mbara.
Thus saith Jehovah: For three transgressions of the children of Ammon, And for four, will I not turn away their punishment; For they ripped up the women with child of Gilead, That they might enlarge their border.
14 Nʼihi nke a, aga m esunye ọkụ na mgbidi niile nke Raba. Ọ ga-erepịakwa ebe ya niile e wusiri ike. Oke ụzụ agha nke ga-ada dịka ụzụ oke ifufe, na ụzụ egbe eluigwe ga na-ada nʼụbọchị ahụ.
But I will kindle a fire on the wall of Rabbah, Which shall devour her palaces, Amid the war-shout in the day of battle, In a whirlwind in the day of the storm.
15 Eze ha na ndịisi ọchịchị ya ga-abụ ndị a dọtara nʼagha, ndị ga-aga biri nʼala ọzọ.” Ka Onyenwe anyị sịrị.
Their king shall go into captivity, He and his princes together, saith Jehovah.
