Amosi 5
1 Israeli, imva mawu awa, nyimbo ya maliro imene ndikuyimba za iweyo:
Zwanini lelilizwi engiliphakamisa phezu kwenu, isililo, ndlu kaIsrayeli.
2 “Namwali Israeli wagwa, moti sadzadzukanso, wasiyidwa mʼdziko lake lomwe, popanda woti ndi kumudzutsa.”
Intombi emsulwa yakoIsrayeli iwile, kayiyikuvuka futhi; ideliwe emhlabathini wayo, kakho oyivusayo.
3 Ambuye Yehova akuti, “Mzinda umene udzapite ku nkhondo ndi anthu 1,000 amphamvu udzatsala ndi anthu 100 okha; mzinda umene udzapite ku nkhondo ndi anthu 100 amphamvu udzatsala ndi anthu khumi okha basi.”
Ngoba itsho njalo iNkosi uJehova: Umuzi ophuma labayinkulungwane uzasala labalikhulu, lophuma labalikhulu uzasala labalitshumi, kuyo indlu kaIsrayeli.
4 Zimene Yehova akunena kwa nyumba ya Israeli ndi izi: “Mundifunefune kuti mukhale ndi moyo;
Ngoba itsho njalo iNkosi endlini kaIsrayeli: Ngidingani liphile.
5 musafunefune Beteli, musapite ku Giligala, musapite ku Beeriseba. Pakuti Giligala adzatengedwa ndithu kupita ku ukapolo, ndipo Beteli adzawonongekeratu.”
Kodwa lingadingi iBhetheli, lingangeni eGiligali, lingedluleli eBherishebha, ngoba iGiligali izathunjwa lokuthunjwa, leBhetheli izakuba yize.
6 Funani Yehova kuti mukhale ndi moyo, mukapanda kutero Iye adzatentha nyumba ya Yosefe ngati moto; motowo udzawononga, ndipo sipadzakhala wina wozimitsa motowo ku Beteli.
Dingani iNkosi liphile, hlezi ifohlele indlu kaJosefa njengomlilo oqothulayo, kungabi khona owucitshayo eBhetheli.
7 Inu amene mumasandutsa chiweruzo cholungama kukhala chowawa ndi kunyoza chilungamo.
Lina eliphendula isahlulelo sibe ngumhlonyane, lilalise ukulunga emhlabathini.
8 (Iye amene analenga nyenyezi za Nsangwe ndi Akamwiniatsatana, amene amasandutsa mdima kuti ukhale mmawa ndi kudetsa usana kuti ukhale usiku, amene amayitana madzi a mʼnyanja ndi kuwathira pa dziko lapansi, Yehova ndiye dzina lake.
Owenza isiLimela leziNja, lophendula umthunzi wokufa ube yikusa, lowenza imini ibe mnyama njengobusuku, obiza amanzi olwandle, awathulule ebusweni bomhlabathi; iNkosi libizo lakhe.
9 Iyeyo amabweretsa chiwonongeko modzidzimutsa pa anthu amphamvu ndi kuwononga mizinda yotetezedwa),
Okhazimulisa incithakalo phezu kolamandla, ukuze incithakalo ize phezu kwenqaba.
10 inu mumadana ndi amene amadzudzula mʼbwalo la milandu ndi kunyoza amene amanena zoona.
Bayamzonda okhuzayo esangweni, banengwe ngokhuluma ngokuqonda.
11 Mumapondereza munthu wosauka ndi kumukakamiza kuti akupatseni tirigu. Nʼchifukwa chake, ngakhale mwamanga nyumba zamiyala yosema, inuyo simudzakhalamo. Ngakhale mwalima minda yabwino ya mphesa, inu simudzamwa vinyo wake.
Ngenxa yokuthi linyathelela phansi umyanga, limthathele umthwalo wamabele, lakhe izindlu zamatshe abaziweyo, kodwa kaliyikuhlala kuzo; lihlanyele izivini zentokozo, kodwa kaliyikunatha iwayini lazo.
12 Pakuti Ine ndikudziwa kuchuluka kwa zolakwa zanu ndi kukula kwa machimo anu. Inu mumapondereza anthu olungama ndi kulandira ziphuphu ndipo anthu osauka simuwaweruza mwachilungamo mʼmabwalo anu amilandu.
Ngoba ngiyazi ukuthi iziphambeko zenu zinengi, lokuthi izono zenu zilamandla; lina elihlupha olungileyo, elemukela isivalamlomo, eliphambula abayanga esangweni.
13 Nʼchifukwa chake pa nthawi yotere munthu wanzeru sayankhulapo kanthu, popeza ndi nthawi yoyipa.
Ngakho ohlakaniphileyo uzathula ngalesosikhathi, ngoba kuyisikhathi esibi.
14 Muyike mtima wanu pa zabwino osati pa zoyipa, kuti mukhale ndi moyo. Mukatero Yehova Mulungu Wamphamvuzonse adzakhala nanu, monga mmene mumanenera kuti ali nanu.
Dingani okuhle, hatshi-ke okubi, ukuze liphile, ukuze ngokunjalo iNkosi uNkulunkulu wamabandla ibe lani, njengokutsho kwenu.
15 Mudane ndi zoyipa, mukonde zabwino; mukhazikitse chiweruzo cholungama mʼmabwalo anu amilandu. Mwina mwake Yehova Mulungu Wamphamvuzonse adzachitira chifundo anthu otsala a mʼbanja la Yosefe.
Zondani ububi, lithande okuhle, limise isahlulelo esangweni; mhlawumbe iNkosi uNkulunkulu wamabandla ingaba lesisa kunsali yakoJosefa.
16 Choncho izi ndi zimene Ambuye, Yehova Mulungu Wamphamvuzonse, akunena: “Mʼmisewu monse mudzakhala kulira mofuwula, ndi kulira chifukwa cha kuwawa kwa masautso kudzakhala paliponse. Adzayitana alimi kuti adzalire, ndipo anthu odziwa maliridwe anthetemya adzalira mofuwula.
Ngakho utsho njalo uJehova, uNkulunkulu wamabandla, iNkosi: Kuzakuba khona isililo emidangeni yonke, lakuzo zonke izitalada bazakuthi: Maye! Maye! Njalo bazabizela umlimi ekulileni, lesililo sizakuba labazi ukulila.
17 Mʼminda yonse ya mpesa mudzakhala kulira kokhakokha, pakuti Ine ndidzadutsa pakati panu,” akutero Yehova.
Lakuzo zonke izivini kuzakuba lokulila, ngoba ngizadabula phakathi kwenu, itsho iNkosi.
18 Tsoka kwa inu amene mumalakalaka tsiku la Yehova! Chifukwa chiyani mumalakalaka tsiku la Yehova? Tsikulo kudzakhala mdima osati kuwala.
Maye kulabo abaloyisa usuku lweNkosi! Luzakuba ngolwani kini usuku lweNkosi? Luzakuba ngumnyama, hatshi ukukhanya.
19 Lidzakhala ngati tsiku limene munthu pothawa mkango amakumana ndi chimbalangondo, ngati pamene munthu walowa mʼnyumba, natsamira dzanja lake pa khoma ndipo njoka nʼkuluma.
Kunjengomuntu obaleke phambi kwesilwane, ahlangane lebhere; loba angene endlini abambelele ngesandla sakhe emdulini, lenyoka imlume.
20 Kodi tsiku la Yehova silidzakhala mdima osati kuwala, mdima wandiweyani, popanda powala pena paliponse?
Usuku lweNkosi kaluyikuba ngumnyama yini, hatshi-ke ukukhanya, lomnyama omkhulu ongelakukhanya kuwo?
21 “Ndimadana nawo masiku anu achikondwerero ndipo ndimawanyoza; sindikondwera nayo misonkhano yanu.
Ngiyayizonda, ngiyayidelela imikhosi yenu, kangiyikunuka emihlanganweni yenu enzulu.
22 Ngakhale mupereke nsembe zopsereza ndi nsembe zachakudya, Ine sindidzazilandira. Ngakhale mupereke nsembe zabwino zachiyanjano, Ine sindidzaziyangʼana nʼkomwe.
Ngoba lanxa linikela kimi iminikelo yokutshiswa leminikelo yenu yokudla, kangithokozi, leminikelo yokuthula yezifuyo zenu ezinonileyo kangiyinanzi.
23 Musandisokose nazo nyimbo zanu! Sindidzamvetsera kulira kwa azeze anu.
Susani kimi umsindo wezingoma zenu, ngoba kangiyikuzwa ukukhala kwamachacho enu.
24 Koma chiweruzo cholungama chiyende ngati madzi, chilungamo ngati mtsinje wosaphwa!
Kodwa isahlulelo kasikhukhule njengamanzi, lokulunga njengesifula esigeleza njalo.
25 “Kodi pa zaka makumi anayi zimene munakhala mʼchipululu muja munkandibweretsera nsembe ndi zopereka, inu nyumba ya Israeli?
Lanikela yini kimi imihlatshelo leminikelo yokudla enkangala okweminyaka engamatshumi amane, lina ndlu kaIsrayeli?
26 Inu mwanyamula kachisi wa mfumu yanu, ndi nyenyezi ija Kaiwani, mulungu wanu, mafano amene munadzipangira.
Kodwa lathwala uSikuthi inkosi yenu, loKhiwuni izithombe zenu, inkanyezi kankulunkulu wenu, elizenzele zona.
27 Nʼchifukwa chake Ine ndidzakupititsani ku ukapolo, kutali kupitirira ku Damasiko,” akutero Yehova, amene dzina lake ndi Mulungu Wamphamvuzonse.
Ngakho ngizalithumbela ngaphetsheya kweDamaseko, itsho iNkosi, obizo layo nguNkulunkulu wamabandla.
