Amos 1
1 The wordes of Amos, who was among the heardmen at Tecoa, which he sawe vpon Israel, in the dayes of Vzziah king of Iudah, and in the dayes of Ieroboam the sonne of Ioash King of Israel, two yeere before the earthquake.
Mashoko aAmosi mumwe wavafudzi veTekoa, zvaakaona pamusoro peIsraeri makore maviri kudengenyeka kwenyika kusati kwaitika, Uzia paakanga ari mambo weJudha uye Jerobhoamu mwanakomana waJoashi ari mambo weIsraeri.
2 And he saide, The Lord shall roare from Zion, and vtter his voyce from Ierusalem, and the dwelling places of the shepheards shall perish, and the top of Carmel shall wither,
Akati: “Jehovha anoomba ari paZioni uye anotinhira ari paJerusarema; mafuro avafudzi anooma, pamusoro peKarimeri panosvava.”
3 Thus saith the Lord, For three transgressions of Damascus, and for foure I will not turne to it, because they haue threshed Gilead with threshing instruments of yron.
Zvanzi naJehovha: “Nemhaka yezvivi zvitatu zveDhamasiko, kunyange zvina, handingadzori hasha dzangu. Nokuti vakapura Gireadhi nemipuro ina meno amatare,
4 Therefore will I sende a fire into the house of Hazael, and it shall deuoure the palaces of Ben-hadad.
ndichatumira moto paimba yaHazaeri uchaparadza nhare dzaBheni Hadhadhi.
5 I will breake also the barres of Damascus, and cut off the inhabitant of Bikeath-auen: and him that holdeth the scepter out of Beth-eden, and the people of Aram shall goe into captiuitie vnto Kir, sayth the Lord.
Ndichavhuna suo reDhamasiko; ndichaparadza mambo agere mumupata weAvheni uye nouyo akabata tsvimbo youshe muBheti Edheni. Vanhu veAramu vachaenda muutapwa kuKiri,” ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha.
6 Thus sayth the Lord, For three transgressions of Azzah, and for foure, I will not turne to it, because they caried away prisoners the whole captiuitie to shut them vp in Edom.
Zvanzi naJehovha: “Nemhaka yezvivi zvitatu zveGaza, kunyange zvina, handingadzori hasha dzangu. Nokuti vakatapa rudzi rwose uye vakavatengesa kuEdhomu,
7 Therefore will I sende a fire vpon the walles of Azzah, and it shall deuoure the palaces thereof.
ndichatuma moto pamusoro pamasvingo eGaza uchaparadza nhare dzake.
8 And I will cut off the inhabitant from Ashdod, and him that holdeth the scepter from Ashkelon, and turne mine hande to Ekron, and the remnant of the Philistims shall perish, sayth the Lord God.
Ndichaparadza mambo weAshidhodhi uye nouyo akabata tsvimbo youshe muAshikeroni. Ndichatambanudzira ruoko rwangu kuti ndirwise Ekironi kusvikira vaFiristia vose vapera kufa,” ndizvo zvinotaura Ishe Jehovha.
9 Thus sayth the Lord, For three transgressions of Tyrus, and for foure, I will not turne to it, because they shut the whole captiuitie in Edom, and haue not remembred the brotherly couenant.
Zvanzi naJehovha: “Nemhaka yezvivi zvitatu zveTire, kunyange zvina handingadzori hasha dzangu. Nokuti akatengesera Edhomu rudzi rwose savatapwa, akasacherechedza sungano youkama,
10 Therefore wil I send a fire vpon ye walles of Tyrus, and it shall deuoure the palaces thereof.
ndichatuma moto pamasvingo eTire, uchaparadza nhare dzake.”
11 Thus sayeth the Lord, For three transgressions of Edom, and for foure, I will not turne to it, because hee did pursue his brother with the sworde, and did cast off all pitie, and his anger spoyled him euermore, and his wrath watched him alway.
Zvanzi naJehovha: “Nemhaka yezvivi zvitatu zvaEdhomu, kunyange zvina, handingadzori hasha dzangu. Nokuti akadzinganisa mununʼuna wake nomunondo, akaramba kumunzwira tsitsi, nokuti kutsamwa kwake kwakaramba kwakangodaro, uye hasha dzake dzakapfuta, hadzina akadzimisa,
12 Therefore will I send a fire vpon Teman, and it shall deuoure the palaces of Bozrah.
ndichatuma moto pamusoro peTemani uchaparadza nhare dzeBhozira.”
13 Thus sayth ye Lord, For three transgressions of the children of Ammon, and for foure, I will not turne to it, because they haue ript vp the women with child of Gilead, that they might enlarge their border.
Zvanzi naJehovha: “Nemhaka yezvivi zvitatu zvaAmoni, kunyange zvina, handingadzori hasha dzangu. Nokuti akatumbura vakadzi vane mimba veGireadhi, kuti awedzere miganhu yake,
14 Therefore will I kindle a fire in the wall of Rabbah, and it shall deuoure the palaces thereof, with shouting in the day of battell, and with a tempest in the day of the whirlewinde.
ndichatungidza moto pamasvingo eRabha uchaparadza nhare dzaro, pakati pemheremhere yehondo pazuva rokurwa, pakati pemhepo huru nezuva redutu.
15 And their King shall go into captiuitie, he and his princes together, saith the Lord.
Mambo wake achaenda kuutapwa, iye namakurukota ake pamwe chete,” ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha.
