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 herdsmen of Thecua: which he saw concerning Israel in the days of Ozias king of Juda, and in the days of Jeroboam the son of Joas 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.”
And he said: The Lord will roar from Sion, and utter his voice from Jerusalem: and the beautiful places of the shepherds have mourned, and the top of Carmel is withered.
3 Yehova akuti, “Chifukwa anthu a ku Damasiko akunka nachimwirachimwira, Ine sindileka kuwalanga. Popeza anapuntha Giliyadi ndi zopunthira za mano achitsulo,
Thus saith the Lord: For three crimes of Damascus, and for four I will not convert it: because they have thrashed Galaad with iron wains.

And Melchom shall go into captivity, both he, and his princes together, saith the Lord.
