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.
Mune nhamo imi makavarairwa muZioni, nemi munofunga kuti mugere pakasimba paGomo reSamaria, imi varume vanozivikanwa vorudzi rukuru, kunoenda vanhu veIsraeri!
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.
Endai kuKarine mundoritarisa; muchibvapo moenda kuHamati guta guru, uye mozodzika kuGati muFiristia. Vari nani kupfuura umambo hwenyu huviri here?
3 You that are separated unto the evil day: and that approach to the throne of iniquity;
Munoti zuva rakaipa ngarirege kusvika muchiswededza pedyo utongi hwokuvhundutsira.
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;
Munovata pamibhedha yenyanga dzenzou, muchizorora pazvigaro zvenyu. Munodya makwayana akaisvonaka nemhuru dzakakodzwa.
5 You that sing to the sound of the psaltery: they have thought themselves to have instruments of music like David;
Munoridza zvenyu mbira dzenyu saDhavhidhi, uye munozvigadzirira zviridzwa.
6 That drink wine in bowls, and anoint themselves with the best ointments: and they are not concerned for the affliction of Joseph.
Munonwa waini yakawanda, muchizora mafuta akaisvonaka, asi hamuchemi nokuda kwamatongo aJosefa.
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.
Naizvozvo muchava pakati pevachatanga kuenda kuutapwa; mabiko enyu nokuzorora kwenyu zvichapera.
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.
Ishe Jehovha akapika naiye pachake, Jehovha Mwari Wamasimba Ose anoti, “Ndinosema kuzvikudza kwaJakobho, uye ndinovenga nhare dzake; ndichaisa guta kuvavengi nezvose zviri mariri.”
9 And if there remain ten men in one house, they also shall die.
Kana varume gumi vakasiyiwa muimba imwe chete naivowo vachafa.
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.
Uye kana hama inofanira kupisa mitumbi ikauya kuzovabudisa mumba, uye ikabvunza munhu achakahwanda imomo ichiti, “Pane mumwe waunaye here?” uye akati, “Kwete,” ipapo iye achati, “Nyarara! Hatifaniri kuti titaure zita raJehovha.”
11 For behold the Lord hath commanded, and he will strike the greater house with breaches, and the lesser house with clefts.
Nokuti Jehovha akarayira, uye achaparadza imba huru igoita murwi, nemba duku igoti mwarara.
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.
Ko, mabhiza angamhanya paruware here? Ko, pane angaparima ipapo nemombe here? Asi makashandura kururamisira mukakuita muchetura, nechibereko chokururama mukachiita gavakava,
13 You that rejoice in a thing of nought: you that say: Have we not taken unto us horns by our own strength?
imi munopembera pakukundwa kweRo Dhibhari uye munoti, “Hatina kuzvitorera Karinaini nesimba redu here?”
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.
Nokuti Jehovha Mwari Wamasimba Ose anoti, “Ndichakumutsirai rumwe rudzi kuti rukumukirei, imi imba yaIsraeri, ruchakutambudzai panzira yenyu yose, kubva kuRebho Hamati kusvikira kumupata weArabha.”
