Amos 6
1 Woe to you that are wealthy in Sion, and to you that have confidence in the mountain of Samaria: ye great men, heads of the people, that go in with state into the house of Israel.
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!
2 Pass ye over to Chalane, and see, and go from thence into Emath the great: and go down into Geth of the Philistines, and to all the best kingdoms of these: if their border be larger than your border.
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?
3 You that are separated unto the evil day: and that approach to the throne of iniquity;
Inu simulabadirako kuti tsiku loyipa lidzafika, zochita zanu zimafulumizitsa ulamuliro wankhanza.
4 You that sleep upon beds of ivory, and are wanton on your couches: that eat the lambs out of the flock, and the calves out of the midst of the herd;
Mumagona pa mabedi owakongoletsa ndi minyanga ya njovu, mumagona pa mipando yanu ya wofuwofu. Mumadya ana ankhosa onona ndi ana angʼombe onenepa.
5 You that sing to the sound of the psaltery: they have thought themselves to have instruments of music like David;
Mumayimba azeze anu ndi kumangopeka nyimbo pa zingʼwenyengʼwenye ngati Davide.
6 That drink wine in bowls, and anoint themselves with the best ointments: and they are not concerned for the affliction of Joseph.
Mumamwera vinyo mʼzipanda zodzaza ndipo mumadzola mafuta abwino kwambiri, koma simumva chisoni ndi kuwonongeka kwa Yosefe.
7 Wherefore now they shall go captive at the head of them that go into captivity: and the faction of the luxurious ones shall be taken away.
Nʼchifukwa chake inu mudzakhala mʼgulu la anthu oyamba kupita ku ukapolo; maphwando ndi zikondwerero zanu zidzatheratu.
8 The Lord God hath sworn by his own soul, saith the Lord the God of hosts: I detest the pride of Jacob, and I hate his houses, and I will deliver up the city with the inhabitants thereof.
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.”
9 And if there remain ten men in one house, they also shall die.
Ngati anthu khumi otsala adzabisala mʼnyumba imodzi, nawonso adzafa ndithu.
10 And a man’s kinsman shall take him up, and shall burn him, that he may carry the bones out of the house; and he shall say to him that is in the inner rooms of the house: Is there yet any with thee? And he shall answer: There is an end. And he shall any to him: Hold thy peace, and mention not the name of the Lord.
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.”
11 For behold the Lord hath commanded, and he will strike the greater house with breaches, and the lesser house with clefts.
Pakuti Yehova walamula kuti nyumba zikuluzikulu Iye adzazigamulagamula, ndipo nyumba zazingʼono zidzasanduka maduka okhaokha.
12 Can horses run upon the rocks, or can any one plough with buffles? for you have turned judgment into bitterness, and the fruit of justice into wormwood.
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.
13 You that rejoice in a thing of nought: you that say: Have we not taken unto us horns by our own strength?
Inu amene mukunyadira kuti munagonjetsa Lo Debara ndipo mukunena kuti, “Kodi sitinatenge Karinaimu ndi mphamvu zathu zokha?”
14 But behold, I will raise up a nation against you, O house of Israel, saith the Lord the God of hosts; and they shall destroy you from the entrance of Emath, even to the torrent of the desert.
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.”
