Amosi 6
1 Tsoka kwa amene simukulabadira kanthu ku Ziyoni, ndiponso kwa inu amene mukukhala mwamtendere pa Phiri la Samariya, inu anthu otchuka ochokera ku mtundu wa anthu omveka, kumene Aisraeli amafikako!
Woe to those who are at ease in Zion, and to those who are secure in the hill country of Samaria, the notable men of the best of the nations, to whom the house of Israel comes for help!
2 Pitani ku mzinda wa Kaline mukawuyangʼane; mukapitenso ku Hamati-raba mzinda waukulu uja, ndipo mukatsikirenso ku Gati kwa Afilisti. Kodi mizinda imeneyi ndi yopambana maufumu anu awiriwa? Kodi dziko lawo ndi lalikulu kupambana lanu?
Your leaders say, “Go to Kalneh and look; from there go to Hamath, the great city; then go down to Gath of the Philistines. Are they better than your two kingdoms? Is their border larger than your border?”
3 Inu simulabadirako kuti tsiku loyipa lidzafika, zochita zanu zimafulumizitsa ulamuliro wankhanza.
Woe to those who put off the day of disaster and make the throne of violence come near.
4 Mumagona pa mabedi owakongoletsa ndi minyanga ya njovu, mumagona pa mipando yanu ya wofuwofu. Mumadya ana ankhosa onona ndi ana angʼombe onenepa.
They lie on beds of ivory and lounge on their couches. They eat lambs from the flock and calves from the stall.
5 Mumayimba azeze anu ndi kumangopeka nyimbo pa zingʼwenyengʼwenye ngati Davide.
They sing foolish songs to the music of the harp; they improvise on instruments as David did.
6 Mumamwera vinyo mʼzipanda zodzaza ndipo mumadzola mafuta abwino kwambiri, koma simumva chisoni ndi kuwonongeka kwa Yosefe.
They drink wine from bowls and anoint themselves with the finest oils, but they do not grieve over the ruin of Joseph.
7 Nʼchifukwa chake inu mudzakhala mʼgulu la anthu oyamba kupita ku ukapolo; maphwando ndi zikondwerero zanu zidzatheratu.
So they will now go into exile with the first exiles, and the feasts of those who lounge about will pass away.
8 Ambuye Yehova walumbira mʼdzina lake. Yehova Mulungu Wamphamvuzonse walengeza kuti, “Ndimanyansidwa ndi kunyada kwa Yakobo, ndimadana ndi nyumba zake zaufumu; Ine ndidzawupereka mzindawu pamodzi ndi zonse zili mʼmenemo.”
“I, the Lord Yahweh, have sworn by myself —this is the declaration of the Lord Yahweh, the God of hosts, I detest the pride of Jacob; I hate his fortresses. Therefore I will deliver up the city with all that is in it.”
9 Ngati anthu khumi otsala adzabisala mʼnyumba imodzi, nawonso adzafa ndithu.
It will come about that if there are ten men left in one house, they will all die.
10 Ndipo ngati mʼbale wake wa wina wakufayo, woyenera kusamala za maliro, adzafika kudzatulutsa mitembo mʼnyumbamo nʼkufunsa aliyense amene akubisalabe mʼnyumbamo kuti, “Kodi uli ndi wina wamoyo mʼmenemo?” Ndipo munthu wobisalayo ndi kuyankha kuti, “Ayi,” mʼbaleyo adzanena kuti, “Khala chete! Ife tisayerekeze kutchula dzina la Yehova.”
When a man's relative comes to take their bodies up—the one who is to cremate them after bringing the corpses out of the house—if he says to the person in the house, “Is there anyone with you?” What if that person says, “No.” Then he will say, “Be quiet, for we must not mention Yahweh's name.”
11 Pakuti Yehova walamula kuti nyumba zikuluzikulu Iye adzazigamulagamula, ndipo nyumba zazingʼono zidzasanduka maduka okhaokha.
For, look, Yahweh will give a command, and the big house will be smashed to pieces, and the little house to bits.
12 Kodi akavalo amathamanga pa thanthwe? Kodi wina amatipula ndi ngʼombe mʼnyanja? Koma chiweruzo cholungama mwachisandutsa kukhala zinthu zakupha ndipo chipatso cha chilungamo mwachisandutsa kukhala chowawa.
Do horses run on the rocky cliffs? Does one plow there with oxen? Yet you have turned justice into poison and the fruit of righteousness into bitterness.
13 Inu amene mukunyadira kuti munagonjetsa Lo Debara ndipo mukunena kuti, “Kodi sitinatenge Karinaimu ndi mphamvu zathu zokha?”
You who rejoice over Lo Debar, who say, “Have we not taken Karnaim by our own strength?”
14 Koma Yehova Mulungu Wamphamvuzonse akulengeza kuti, “Inu nyumba ya Israeli, ndidzakudzutsirani mtundu wina wa anthu umene udzakuzunzani kuchokera ku Lebo Hamati mpaka ku Chigwa cha Araba.”
“But look, I will raise up against you a nation, house of Israel—this is the declaration of the Lord Yahweh, the God of hosts. They will afflict you from Lebo Hamath to the brook of the Arabah.”
