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 herdmen of Tekoa, —of which (words) he had vision concerning Israel, in the days of Uzziah king of Judah, and in the days of Jeroboam 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.”
So then he said—Yahweh, out of Zion, will roar, and, out of Jerusalem, will utter his voice, —and the pastures of the shepherds, shall mourn, and the top of Carmel, be dried up.
3 Yehova akuti, “Chifukwa anthu a ku Damasiko akunka nachimwirachimwira, Ine sindileka kuwalanga. Popeza anapuntha Giliyadi ndi zopunthira za mano achitsulo,
Thus, saith Yahweh, Because of three transgressions of Damascus, and because of four, will I not turn it back, —Because, with threshing instruments of iron, they have threshed Gilead.
4 Ine ndidzatumiza moto pa nyumba ya Hazaeli umene udzanyeketsa nyumba zaufumu za Beni-Hadadi.
Therefore will send a fire, into the house of Hazael, —which shall 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.
And I will break the bolt of Damascus, and cut off the inhabitant out of the plain of Aven, and the holder of the sceptre out of the house of Eden, —and the people of Syria, shall be exiled, unto Kir, saith Yahweh.
6 Yehova akuti, “Chifukwa anthu a ku Gaza akunka nachimwirachimwira, Ine sindileka kuwalanga. Popeza anatenga ukapolo mtundu wathunthu ndi kuwugulitsa ku Edomu,
Thus, saith Yahweh, Because of three transgressions of Gaza, and because of four, will I not turn it back, —Because of their taking into exile the whole body of exiles, to deliver to Edom,
7 ndidzatumiza moto pa makoma a Gaza umene udzanyeketsa nyumba zake zaufumu.
Therefore will I send a fire upon the wall of Gaza, —which shall devour the palaces thereof;
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 cut off the inhabitant out of Ashdod, and the holder of the sceptre out of Ashkelon, —and will turn my hand against Ekron, So shall perish the remnant of the Philistines, saith My Lord, Yahweh.
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 Yahweh, Because of three transgressions of Tyre, and because of four, will I not turn it back, —Because of their delivering up the whole body of exiles to Edom, and they remembered not the brotherly covenant,
10 Ine ndidzatumiza moto pa makoma a Turo umene udzanyeketsa nyumba zake zaufumu.”
Therefore will I send a fire upon the wall of Tyre, —which shall devour the palaces thereof.
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 Yahweh, Because of three transgressions of Edom, and because of four, will I not turn it back, —Because he pursued, with the sword, his brother, and stifled his compassions, and his anger tare in pieces evermore, and, his indignation, kept watch perpetually,
12 Ine ndidzatumiza moto pa Temani umene udzanyeketsa nyumba zaufumu za Bozira.”
Therefore will I send a fire into 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 Yahweh, Because of three transgressions of the sons of Ammon, and because of four, will I not turn it back, —Because of their ripping up the pregnant women of Gilead, that they might enlarge their own boundary,
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.
Therefore will I kindle a fire upon the wall of Rabbah, which shall devour the palaces thereof, —with a war-cry in the day of battle, with tempest in the day of storm-wind;
15 Mfumu yawo idzatengedwa kupita ku ukapolo, iyo pamodzi ndi akuluakulu ake,” akutero Yehova.
And Milcom shall go into exile, —he and his rulers together, saith Yahweh.
