Amos 3
1 Hear you this word, O house of Israel, which the Lord has spoken concerning you, and against the whole family whom I brought up out of the land of Egypt, saying,
Inzwai shoko iri rakataurwa naJehovha pamusoro penyu, imi vanhu veIsraeri, pamusoro pemhuri yose yandakabudisa kubva muIjipiti:
2 You especially have I known out of all the families of the earth: therefore will I take vengeance upon you for all your sins.
“Ndimi moga vandakasarudza pamhuri dzose dzapanyika; naizvozvo ndichakurangai nokuda kwezvivi zvenyu zvose.”
3 Shall two walk together at all, if they do not know one another?
Ko, vaviri vangafamba pamwe chete vasina kunge vatenderana here?
4 Will a lion roar out of his thicket if he has no prey? will a [lion's] whelp utter his voice at all out of his lair, if he have taken nothing?
Ko, shumba ingaomba mudondo isina chayaruma here? Ko, ingarira mubako rayo isina chayabata here?
5 Will a bird fall on the earth without a fowler? will a snare be taken up from the earth without having taken anything?
Ko, shiri ingawira pasi mumusungo pasina kuteyiwa rugombe here? Ko, musungo ungaurukira kumusoro pasina chawabata here?
6 Shall the trumpet sound in the city, and the people not be alarmed? shall there be evil in a city which the Lord has not wrought?
Hwamanda ingarira muguta, vanhu vakasatya here? Njodzi painowira guta, ko, haazi Jehovha anenge azviita here?
7 For the Lord God will do nothing, without revealing instruction to his servants the prophets.
Zvirokwazvo, Ishe Jehovha haaiti chinhu asina kuzivisa varanda vake, vaprofita, zvakavanzika zvake.
8 A lion shall roar, and who will not be alarmed? the Lord God has spoken, and who will not prophesy?
Shumba yaomba, ndiani angarega kutya? Ishe Jehovha ataura, ndiani angarega kuprofita?
9 Proclaim it to the regions amongst the Assyrians, and to the regions of Egypt, and say, Gather yourselves to the mountain of Samaria, and behold many wonderful things in the midst of it, and the oppression that is in it.
Paridzirai nhare dzeAshidhodhi nenhare dzeIjipiti muchiti: “Unganai pamakomo eSamaria; onai kusagadzikana kukuru kuri mukati maro, noudzvinyiriri huri pakati pavanhu varo.”
10 And she knew not what things would come against her, says the Lord, [even] those that store up wrong and misery in their countries.
“Havazivi kuita zvakarurama,” ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha, “ivo vanounganidza zvakapambwa nezvakabiwa munhare dzaro.”
11 Therefore thus says the Lord God; O Tyre, your land shall be made desolate round about [you]; and he shall bring down your strength out of you, and your countries shall be spoiled.
Naizvozvo zvanzi naIshe Jehovha, “Muvengi achatora nyika; achawisira pasi nzvimbo dzako uye achapamba nhare dzako.”
12 Thus says the Lord; As when a shepherd rescues from the mouth of a lion two legs or a piece of an ear, so shall be drawn forth the children of Israel who dwell in Samaria in the presence of [a foreign] tribe, and in Damascus.
Zvanzi naJehovha: “Mufudzi sezvaanobvuta pamuromo weshumba mapfupa maviri amakumbo chete kana chipandi chenzeve, vaIsraeri vachaponeswa saizvozvowo, avo vanogara muSamaria pamicheto yemibhedha yavo, nomuDhamasiko pazvigaro zvavo.”
13 Hear, O you priests, and testify to the house of Jacob, says the Lord God Almighty.
“Inzwai izvi, mugopupura pamusoro peimba yaJakobho,” ndizvo zvinotaura Ishe Jehovha, Mwari Wamasimba Ose.
14 For in the day wherein I shall take vengeance of the sins of Israel upon him, I will also take vengeance on the altars of Bethel: and the horns of the altar shall be broken down, and they shall fall upon the ground.
“Pazuva randicharanga Israeri nokuda kwezvivi zvayo, ndichaparadza aritari dzeBheteri; nyanga dzearitari dzichaparadzwa uye dzichawira pasi.
15 I will crush and strike the turreted-house upon the summer-house; and the ivory-houses shall be destroyed, and many other houses also, says the Lord.
Ndichaparadza imba yenguva yechando, pamwe chete neimba yenguva yechirimo; dzimba dzakashongedzwa nenyanga dzenzou dzichaparadzwa uye dzimba huru dzichaparadzwa,” ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha.
