Amosi 1
1 Mawu a Amosi, mmodzi mwa anthu oweta nkhosa ku Tekowa. Zimene iye anaona mʼmasomphenya zokhudza Israeli patatsala zaka ziwiri kuti chivomerezi chichitike, nthawi imene Uziya anali mfumu ya Yuda ndipo Yeroboamu mwana wa Yowasi anali mfumu ya Israeli.
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 Amosi anati: “Yehova akubangula mu Ziyoni ndipo akumveka ngati bingu mu Yerusalemu; msipu wa abusa ukulira, ndipo pamwamba pa Karimeli pakuwuma.”
He said: "YHWH will roar from Zion, and utter his voice from Jerusalem; and the pastures of the shepherds will mourn, and the top of Carmel will wither."
3 Yehova akuti, “Chifukwa anthu a ku Damasiko akunka nachimwirachimwira, Ine sindileka kuwalanga. Popeza anapuntha Giliyadi ndi zopunthira za mano achitsulo,
Thus says YHWH: "For three transgressions of Damascus, yes, for four, I will not turn away its punishment; because they have threshed the pregnant women of Gilead with threshing instruments of iron;
4 Ine ndidzatumiza moto pa nyumba ya Hazaeli umene udzanyeketsa nyumba zaufumu za Beni-Hadadi.
but I will send a fire into the house of Hazael, and it will devour the palaces of Ben Hadad.
5 Ndidzathyola chipata cha Damasiko; ndidzawononga mfumu yokhala ku Chigwa cha Aveni, ndiponso iye amene akugwira ndodo yaufumu mu Beti-Edeni. Anthu a ku Aramu adzapita ku ukapolo ku Kiri,” akutero Yehova.
I will break the bar of Damascus, and cut off the inhabitant from the Valley of Wickedness, and him who holds the scepter from Beth Eden; and the people of Aram shall go into captivity to Kir," says YHWH.
6 Yehova akuti, “Chifukwa anthu a ku Gaza akunka nachimwirachimwira, Ine sindileka kuwalanga. Popeza anatenga ukapolo mtundu wathunthu ndi kuwugulitsa ku Edomu,
Thus says YHWH: "For three transgressions of Gaza, yes, for four, I will not turn away its punishment; because they carried away captive the whole community, to deliver them up to Edom;
7 ndidzatumiza moto pa makoma a Gaza umene udzanyeketsa nyumba zake zaufumu.
but I will send a fire on the wall of Gaza, and it will devour its palaces.
8 Ndidzawononga mfumu ya ku Asidodi komanso amene akugwira ndodo yaufumu ku Asikeloni. Ndidzalanga Ekroni, mpaka wotsala mwa Afilisti atafa,” akutero Ambuye Yehova.
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 will perish," says YHWH.
9 Yehova akuti, “Chifukwa anthu a ku Turo akunka nachimwirachimwira, Ine sindileka kuwalanga. Popeza iwo anagulitsa mtundu wathunthu ku ukapolo ku Edomu, osasunga pangano laubale lija,
Thus says YHWH: "For three transgressions of Tyre, yes, for four, I will not turn away its punishment; because they delivered up the whole community to Edom, and did not remember the brotherly covenant;
10 Ine ndidzatumiza moto pa makoma a Turo umene udzanyeketsa nyumba zake zaufumu.”
but I will send a fire on the wall of Tyre, and it will devour its palaces."
11 Yehova akuti, “Chifukwa anthu a ku Edomu akunka nachimwirachimwira, Ine sindileka kuwalanga. Popeza anathamangitsa mʼbale wake ndi lupanga, popanda nʼchifundo chomwe. Popeza mkwiyo wake unakulabe ndipo ukali wake sunatonthozeke,
Thus says YHWH: "For three transgressions of Edom, yes, for four, I will not turn away its punishment; because he pursued his brother with the sword, and cast off all pity, and his anger raged continually, and he kept his wrath forever;
12 Ine ndidzatumiza moto pa Temani umene udzanyeketsa nyumba zaufumu za Bozira.”
but I will send a fire on Teman, and it will devour the palaces of Bozrah."
13 Yehova akuti, “Chifukwa anthu a ku Amoni akunka nachimwirachimwira, Ine sindileka kuwalanga. Popeza anatumbula akazi oyembekezera a ku Giliyadi nʼcholinga choti akuze malire awo,
Thus says YHWH: "For three transgressions of the people of Ammon, yes, for four, I will not turn away its punishment; because they have ripped open the pregnant women of Gilead, that they may enlarge their border.
14 Ine ndidzayatsa moto pa makoma a ku Raba umene udzanyeketsa nyumba zake zaufumu. Padzakhala kulira kwakukulu pa tsiku la nkhondoyo, kumenyana kudzakhala kwafumbi ngati mkuntho wa kamvuluvulu.
But I will kindle a fire in the wall of Rabbah, and it will devour its palaces, with shouting in the day of battle, with a storm in the day of the whirlwind;
15 Mfumu yawo idzatengedwa kupita ku ukapolo, iyo pamodzi ndi akuluakulu ake,” akutero Yehova.
and their king will go into captivity, he and his officials together," says YHWH.
