Amosi 3
1 Ta iguai ũhoro ũyũ Jehova aarĩtie wa kũmũũkĩrĩra, inyuĩ andũ a Isiraeli, ũira wa gũũkĩrĩra nyũmba yothe ĩrĩa ndaarutire bũrũri wa Misiri:
Hear you this word, O house of Israel, which the Lord has spoken concerning you, and against the whole family whom I brought up out of the land of Egypt, saying,
2 “Inyuĩ no inyuĩ ndĩthuurĩire kuuma harĩ nyũmba ciothe cia thĩ; nĩ ũndũ ũcio nĩngamũherithia tondũ wa mehia manyu mothe.”
You especially have I known out of all the families of the earth: therefore will I take vengeance upon you for all your sins.
3 Andũ eerĩ maahota gũtwarana atĩa matarĩ na karĩĩko?
Shall two walk together at all, if they do not know one another?
4 Mũrũũthi-rĩ, nĩũraramaga kĩhinga-inĩ ũtarĩ kĩndũ ũnyiitĩte? Nĩũraramaga ũrĩ kĩmamo-inĩ ũtanyiitĩte kĩndũ?
Will a lion roar out of his thicket if he has no prey? will a [lion's] whelp utter his voice at all out of his lair, if he have taken nothing?
5 Nyoni-rĩ, no ĩgwe thĩ mũtego-inĩ hatarĩ kĩndũ gĩa kũmĩheenereria? Mũtego-rĩ, no ũtegũke, uume thĩ ũtagwatĩtie kĩndũ?
Will a bird fall on the earth without a fowler? will a snare be taken up from the earth without having taken anything?
6 Karumbeta no kahuhwo itũũra-inĩ inene, na andũ mage gwĩtigĩra? Mũtino no ũũke itũũra-inĩ inene, na gũtuĩke ti Jehova ũũrehete?
Shall the trumpet sound in the city, and the people not be alarmed? shall there be evil in a city which the Lord has not wrought?
7 Ti-itherũ Mwathani Jehova ndarĩ ũndũ angĩĩka atamenyithĩtie anabii, ndungata ciake, ũrĩa atuĩte gwĩka.
For the Lord God will do nothing, without revealing instruction to his servants the prophets.
8 Mũrũũthi nĩũraramĩte, nũũ ũtangĩĩtigĩra? Mwathani Jehova nĩarĩtie, nũũ ũtangĩratha maũndũ?
A lion shall roar, and who will not be alarmed? the Lord God has spoken, and who will not prophesy?
9 Anĩrĩrai mwĩre ciĩhitho iria nũmu cia Ashidodi, na ciĩhitho iria nũmu cia bũrũri wa Misiri ũciĩre atĩrĩ: “Ũnganai irĩma igũrũ cia Samaria, mwĩonere inegene inene rĩrĩa rĩrĩ kuo, na ũhinyanĩrĩria ũrĩa ũrĩ thĩinĩ wa andũ.”
Proclaim it to the regions among the Assyrians, and to the regions of Egypt, and say, Gather yourselves to the mountain of Samaria, and behold many wonderful things in the midst of it, and the oppression that is in it.
10 Jehova ekuuga atĩrĩ: “Andũ arĩa mahĩbaga indo cia gũtunyana na indo cia ndaho kũu ciĩhitho-inĩ nũmu ciao, matiũĩ gwĩka ũrĩa kwagĩrĩire.”
And she knew not what things would come against her, says the Lord, [even] those that store up wrong and misery in their countries.
11 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Mwathani Jehova ekuuga atĩrĩ, “Thũ nĩĩkaharagania bũrũri; nĩĩgatharia ciĩgitĩro cianyu cia hinya, na ciĩhitho cianyu nũmu nĩigatahwo.”
Therefore thus says the Lord God; O Tyre, your land shall be made desolate round about [you]; and he shall bring down your strength out of you, and your countries shall be spoiled.
12 Jehova ekuuga atĩrĩ: “O ta ũrĩa mũrĩithi angĩteithũra magũrũ meerĩ kana gacunjĩ ga gũtũ kuuma kanua ka mũrũũthi, ũguo noguo andũ a Isiraeli makaahonokio, acio maikaraga Samaria maikarĩire mĩthia ya marĩrĩ mao, o na arĩa maikarĩire itanda ciao marĩ Dameski.”
Thus says the Lord; As when a shepherd rescues from the mouth of a lion two legs or a piece of an ear, so shall be drawn forth the children of Israel who dwell in Samaria in the presence of [a foreign] tribe, and in Damascus.
13 Mwathani Jehova, Ngai Mwene-Hinya-Wothe, ekuuga atĩrĩ: “Ta iguai ũhoro ũyũ, na inyuĩ mũrute ũira wa gũũkĩrĩra nyũmba ya Jakubu.
Hear, O you priests, and testify to the house of Jacob, says the Lord God Almighty.
14 “Mũthenya ũrĩa ngaaherithia Isiraeli nĩ ũndũ wa mehia make-rĩ, nĩngananga igongona cia Betheli; na ndinie hĩa cia kĩgongona kĩu igwe thĩ.
For in the day wherein I shall take vengeance of the sins of Israel upon him, I will also take vengeance on the altars of Bethel: and the horns of the altar shall be broken down, and they shall fall upon the ground.
15 Nĩngatharia nyũmba ya hĩndĩ ya gathano, o hamwe na nyũmba ya hĩndĩ ya riũa; nyũmba iria ngʼemie na mĩguongo nĩikaanangwo, nacio nyũmba iria nene mũno nĩikamomorwo,” ũguo nĩguo Jehova ekuuga.
I will crush and strike the turreted-house upon the summer-house; and the ivory-houses shall be destroyed, and many other houses also, says the Lord.
