Amos 4
1 Heare this worde, ye kine of Bashan that are in the mountaine of Samaria, which oppresse the poore, and destroy the needie, and they say to their masters, Bring, and let vs drinke.
Imvani mawu awa, inu ngʼombe zazikazi za ku Basani, okhala pa Phiri la Samariya, inu akazi amene mumapondereza anthu osauka ndi kuzunza anthu osowa ndi kumanena kwa amuna anu kuti, “Tipatseni zakumwa!”
2 The Lord God hath sworne by his holines, that loe, the dayes shall come vpon you, that hee wil take you away with thornes, and your posteritie with fish hookes.
Ambuye Yehova, mwa kuyera mtima kwake walumbira kuti, “Nthawi idzafika ndithu pamene adzakukokani ndi ngowe, womaliza wa inu adzakokedwa ndi mbedza.
3 And ye shall goe out at the breaches euery kow forward: and ye shall cast your selues out of the palace, saith the Lord.
Mudzatulukira mʼmingʼalu ya pa khoma aliyense payekhapayekha, ndipo mudzatayidwa ku Harimoni,” akutero Yehova.
4 Come to Beth-el, and transgresse: to Gilgal, and multiplie transgression, and bring your sacrifices in the morning, and your tithes after three yeres.
“Bwerani ku Beteli mudzachimwe; ndi ku Giligala kuti mudzapitirize kuchimwa. Bweretsani nsembe zanu mmawa uliwonse, bweretsani chakhumi chanu masiku atatu aliwonse.
5 And offer a thankesgiuing of leauen, publish and proclaime the free offrings: for this liketh you, O ye children of Israel, saith the Lord God.
Wotchani buledi wokhala ndi yisiti ngati nsembe yachiyamiko ndi kumanyadira poyera za zopereka zanu zaufulu. Inu Aisraeli, zinyadireni nsembezo, pakuti izi ndi zimene mumakonda kuchita,” akutero Ambuye Yehova.
6 And therefore haue I giuen you cleannes of teeth in all your cities, and scarcenesse of bread in all your places, yet haue ye not returned vnto me, saith the Lord.
“Ndine amene ndinakusendetsani milomo mʼmizinda yanu yonse, ndipo munasowa chakudya mʼmizinda yanu. Komatu inu simunabwerere kwa Ine,” akutero Yehova.
7 And also I haue withholden the raine from you, when there were yet three moneths to the haruest, and I caused it to raine vpon one citie, and haue not caused it to raine vpon another citie: one piece was rained vpon, and the piece whereupon it rained not, withered.
“Ndinenso amene ndinamanga mvula patangotsala miyezi itatu kuti mukolole. Ndinagwetsa mvula pa mzinda wina, koma pa mzinda wina ayi, mvula inkagwa pa munda wina; koma sinagwe pa munda wina ndipo mbewu zinawuma.
8 So two or three cities wandred vnto one citie to drinke water, but they were not satisfied: yet haue ye not returned vnto me, saith the Lord.
Anthu ankayenda mzinda ndi mzinda kufuna madzi, koma sanapeze madzi okwanira kumwa. Komabe inu simunabwerere kwa Ine,” akutero Yehova.
9 I haue smitten you with blasting, and mildewe: your great gardens and your vineyardes, and your figtrees, and your oliue trees did the palmer worme deuoure: yet haue ye not returned vnto me, saith the Lord.
“Nthawi zambiri ndinakantha mbewu zanu ndiponso minda ya mpesa, ndinayikantha ndi chinsikwi ndiponso ndi chiwawu. Dzombe linawononga mikuyu yanu ndi mitengo ya olivi. Komabe inu simunabwerere kwa Ine,” akutero Yehova.
10 Pestilence haue I sent among you, after the maner of Egypt: your yong men haue I slaine with the sworde, and haue taken away your horses: and I haue made the stinke of your tentes to come vp euen into your nostrels: yet haue yee not returned vnto me, saith the Lord.
“Ine ndinabweretsa miliri pakati panu monga ndinachitira ku Igupto. Ndinapha anyamata anu ndi lupanga, ndinapereka akavalo anu kwa adani. Ndinakununkhitsani fungo la mitembo lochokera mʼmisasa yanu ya nkhondo. Komatu inu simunabwerere kwa Ine,” akutero Yehova.
11 I haue ouerthrowe you, as God ouerthrew Sodom and Gomorah: and ye were as a firebrand pluckt out of the burning: yet haue ye not returned vnto me, saith the Lord.
“Ndinawononga ena mwa inu monga ndinawonongera Sodomu ndi Gomora. Inu munali ngati chikuni choyaka chimene chafumulidwa pa moto. Komabe inu simunabwerere kwa Ine,” akutero Yehova.
12 Therefore, thus wil I do vnto thee, O Israel: and because I wil doe this vnto thee, prepare to meete thy God, O Israel.
“Choncho izi ndi zimene ndidzakuchitire iwe Israeli, chifukwa ndidzakuchitira zimenezi, konzekera kukumana ndi Mulungu wako, iwe Israeli.”
13 For lo, he that formeth the mountaines, and createth the winde, and declareth vnto man what is his thought: which maketh the morning darkenesse, and walketh vpon the hie places of the earth, the Lord God of hostes is his Name.
Iye amene amawumba mapiri, amalenga mphepo, ndipo amawululira munthu za mʼmaganizo ake, Iye amene amasandutsa usana kuti ukhale mdima, ndipo amayenda pa zitunda za dziko lapansi, dzina lake ndi Yehova Mulungu Wamphamvuzonse.
