Amos 6
1 Woe to those who are at ease in Zion, and to those who are secure on the mountain of Samaria, the notable men of the foremost of nations, to whom the house of Israel come.
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 Go to Calneh, and see; and from there go to Hamath the great; then go down to Gath of the Philistines. Are they better than these kingdoms? or is their border greater 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 Those who put far away the evil day, and cause the seat of violence to come near;
Inu simulabadirako kuti tsiku loyipa lidzafika, zochita zanu zimafulumizitsa ulamuliro wankhanza.
4 Who lie on beds of ivory, and stretch themselves on their couches, and eat the lambs out of the flock, and the calves out of the midst of the stall;
Mumagona pa mabedi owakongoletsa ndi minyanga ya njovu, mumagona pa mipando yanu ya wofuwofu. Mumadya ana ankhosa onona ndi ana angʼombe onenepa.
5 who strum on the strings of a harp; who invent for themselves instruments of music, like David;
Mumayimba azeze anu ndi kumangopeka nyimbo pa zingʼwenyengʼwenye ngati Davide.
6 who drink wine in bowls, and anoint themselves with the best oils; but they are not grieved for the affliction of Joseph.
Mumamwera vinyo mʼzipanda zodzaza ndipo mumadzola mafuta abwino kwambiri, koma simumva chisoni ndi kuwonongeka kwa Yosefe.
7 Therefore they will now go captive with the first who go captive; and the feasting and lounging will end.
Nʼchifukwa chake inu mudzakhala mʼgulu la anthu oyamba kupita ku ukapolo; maphwando ndi zikondwerero zanu zidzatheratu.
8 "YHWH has sworn by himself," says YHWH, the God of hosts: "I abhor the pride of Jacob, and detest his fortresses. Therefore I will deliver up the city with all that is in it.
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 it will be, if there remain ten men in one house, they will die, and the remaining ones will be left.
Ngati anthu khumi otsala adzabisala mʼnyumba imodzi, nawonso adzafa ndithu.
10 "When a man's relative carries him, even he who burns him, to bring bodies out of the house, and asks him who is in the innermost parts of the house, 'Is there yet any with you?' And he says, 'No;' then he will say, 'Hush. Indeed we must not mention the name of YHWH.'
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, look, YHWH commands, and the great house will be smashed to pieces, and the little house into bits.
Pakuti Yehova walamula kuti nyumba zikuluzikulu Iye adzazigamulagamula, ndipo nyumba zazingʼono zidzasanduka maduka okhaokha.
12 Do horses run on the rocky crags? Does one plow there with oxen? But you have turned justice into poison, and the fruit of righteousness into bitterness;
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 who rejoice in Lo Debar, who say, 'Haven't we taken for ourselves Karnaim by our own strength?'
Inu amene mukunyadira kuti munagonjetsa Lo Debara ndipo mukunena kuti, “Kodi sitinatenge Karinaimu ndi mphamvu zathu zokha?”
14 For, look, I will raise up against you a nation, house of Israel," says YHWH, the God of hosts; "and they will afflict you from Lebo Hamath to the Wadi Arabah."
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.”
