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, 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 Amosi anati: “Yehova akubangula mu Ziyoni ndipo akumveka ngati bingu mu Yerusalemu; msipu wa abusa ukulira, ndipo pamwamba pa Karimeli pakuwuma.”
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 Yehova akuti, “Chifukwa anthu a ku Damasiko akunka nachimwirachimwira, Ine sindileka kuwalanga. Popeza anapuntha Giliyadi ndi zopunthira za mano achitsulo,
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 Ine ndidzatumiza moto pa nyumba ya Hazaeli umene udzanyeketsa nyumba zaufumu za Beni-Hadadi.
I will send a fire upon the house of Hazael, Which shall devour the palaces of Benhadad.
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 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 Yehova akuti, “Chifukwa anthu a ku Gaza akunka nachimwirachimwira, Ine sindileka kuwalanga. Popeza anatenga ukapolo mtundu wathunthu ndi kuwugulitsa ku Edomu,
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 ndidzatumiza moto pa makoma a Gaza umene udzanyeketsa nyumba zake zaufumu.
But I will send a fire upon the wall of Gaza, Which shall devour her palaces.
8 Ndidzawononga mfumu ya ku Asidodi komanso amene akugwira ndodo yaufumu ku Asikeloni. Ndidzalanga Ekroni, mpaka wotsala mwa Afilisti atafa,” akutero Ambuye Yehova.
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 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 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 Ine ndidzatumiza moto pa makoma a Turo umene udzanyeketsa nyumba zake zaufumu.”
But I will send a fire on the wall of Tyre, Which shall devour her 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 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 Ine ndidzatumiza moto pa Temani umene udzanyeketsa nyumba zaufumu za Bozira.”
But I will send a fire upon Teman. Which shall 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 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 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 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 Mfumu yawo idzatengedwa kupita ku ukapolo, iyo pamodzi ndi akuluakulu ake,” akutero Yehova.
Their king shall go into captivity, He and his princes together, saith Jehovah.
