Amosi 7
1 Zimene Ambuye Yehova anandionetsa ndi izi: Yehova ankasonkhanitsa gulu la dzombe nthawi imene gawo la zokolola za mfumu linali litakololedwa kale ndipo mbewu zachiwiri zinali zitangoyamba kumera kumene.
This is what the Lord Yahweh showed me. Look, he formed a locust swarm when the spring crop began to come up, and, look, it was the late crop after the king's harvest.
2 Dzombelo litadya zomera zonse za mʼdzikomo, Ine ndinafuwula kuti, “Ambuye Yehova, khululukani! Kodi Yakobo adzapulumuka bwanji? Iye ndi wofowoka kwambiri!”
When they finished eating the vegetation of the land, then I said, “Lord Yahweh, please forgive; how will Jacob survive? For he is so small.”
3 Kotero Yehova anakhululuka. Yehovayo anati, “Izi sizidzachitika.”
Yahweh relented concerning this. “It will not happen,” he said.
4 Zimene Ambuye Yehova anandionetsa ndi izi: Ambuye Yehova ankayitana malawi a moto kuti alange anthu. Motowo unawumitsa nyanja yakuya ndi kupsereza dziko.
This is what the Lord Yahweh showed me: Look, the Lord Yahweh called on fire to judge. It dried the vast, deep water under the earth and would have devoured the land, also.
5 Tsono ine ndinafuwula kuti, “Ambuye Yehova, chonde ndikukupemphani, lekani! Kodi Yakobo adzapulumuka bwanji? Iye ndi wofowoka kwambiri!”
But I said, “Lord Yahweh, please stop; how will Jacob survive? For he is so small.”
6 Kotero Yehova anakhululuka. Ambuye Yehova anati, “Izinso sizidzachitika.”
Yahweh relented concerning this, “This also will not happen,” said the Lord Yahweh.
7 Zimene Iye anandionetsa ndi izi: Ambuye anayima pambali pa khoma lomangamanga, mʼmanja mwake muli chingwe chowongolera khoma.
This is what he showed me: Look, the Lord stood beside a wall, with a plumb line in his hand.
8 Ndipo Ambuye anandifunsa kuti, “Amosi, nʼchiyani ukuonachi?” Ine ndinayankha kuti, “Chingwe chowongolera khoma.” Ndipo Yehova anati, “Taona, Ine ndikuyika chingwe chowongolerachi pakati pa anthu anga, Aisraeli; sindidzawalekereranso.
Yahweh said to me, “Amos, what do you see?” I said, “A plumb line.” Then the Lord said, “Look, I will put a plumb line among my people Israel. I will spare them no longer.
9 “Malo achipembedzo a Isake adzawonongedwa ndipo malo opatulika a Israeli adzasanduka bwinja; ndidzagwetsa nyumba ya Yeroboamu ndi lupanga langa.”
The high places of Isaac will be destroyed, the sanctuaries of Israel will be ruined, and I will rise against the house of Jeroboam with the sword.”
10 Pamenepo Amaziya wansembe wa ku Beteli anatumiza uthenga kwa Yeroboamu mfumu ya Israeli kuti, “Amosi akukuutsirani chiwembu pakati pa Aisraeli. Dziko silingalekerere zonena zake zonsezo.
Then Amaziah, the priest of Bethel, sent a message to Jeroboam, king of Israel: “Amos has conspired against you in the middle of the house of Israel. The land cannot bear all his words.
11 Pakuti zimene Amosi akunena ndi izi: “‘Yeroboamu adzaphedwa ndi lupanga, ndipo Israeli adzapita ndithu ku ukapolo, kutali ndi dziko lake.’”
For this is what Amos said, 'Jeroboam will die by the sword, and Israel will surely go into exile away from his land.'”
12 Ndipo Amaziya anawuza Amosi kuti, “Choka, mlosi iwe! Bwerera ku dziko la Yuda. Uzikalosera kumeneko ndipo anthu a kumeneko azikakudyetsa.
Amaziah said to Amos, “Seer, go, run back to the land of Judah, and there eat bread and prophesy.
13 Usanenerenso ku Beteli, chifukwa kumeneko ndi malo opatulika a mfumu ndiponso ndi malo a nyumba yachipembedzo yaufumu.”
But do not prophesy anymore here at Bethel, for it is the king's sanctuary and a royal house.”
14 Amosi anayankha Amaziya kuti, “Ine sindine mneneri kapena mwana wa mneneri; koma ndine woweta ziweto, ndiponso mlimi wa nkhuyu.
Then Amos said to Amaziah, “I am not a prophet nor a prophet's son. I am a herdsman, and I take care of sycamore fig trees.
15 Koma Yehova ananditenga ndikuweta nkhosa ndipo anati, ‘Pita ukanenere kwa anthu anga Aisraeli.’
But Yahweh took me from tending the flock and said to me, 'Go, prophesy to my people Israel.'
16 Tsono imva mawu a Yehova. Iwe ukunena kuti, “‘Usanenere zotsutsa Israeli, ndipo siya kulalikira motsutsa nyumba ya Isake.’”
Now hear the word of Yahweh. You say, 'Do not prophesy against Israel, and do not speak against the house of Isaac.'
17 “Tsono zimene akunena Yehova ndi izi: “‘Mkazi wako adzasanduka wachiwerewere mu mzindamu, ndipo ana ako aamuna ndi aakazi adzaphedwa ndi lupanga. Munda wako udzayezedwa ndi chingwe ndi kugawidwa, ndipo iwe mwini udzafera mʼdziko la anthu osapembedza Mulungu. Ndipo Israeli adzatengedwa ndithu kupita ku ukapolo, kutali ndi dziko lake.’”
Therefore this is what Yahweh says, 'Your wife will be a prostitute in the city; your sons and your daughters will fall by the sword; your land will be measured and divided up; you will die in an unclean land, and Israel will surely go into exile from his land.'”
