Amos 8
1 Here, My Lord, Yahweh, gave me to see, —and lo! there was a basket of summer fruit.
Izvi ndizvo zvandakaratidzwa naIshe Jehovha: tswanda ine michero yakaibva.
2 So then he said, What canst thou see, Amos? And I said, A basket of summer fruit. Then said Yahweh unto me, The end hath come unto my people Israel, I will not again any more forgive them;
Akabvunza akati, “Unooneiko, Amosi?” Ndakapindura ndichiti, “Tswanda ine michero yakaibva.” Ipapo Jehovha akati kwandiri, “Nguva yakwana kuvanhu vangu Israeri; handingavararamisizve.
3 but palace-songs, shall become howlings, in that day, Declareth My Lord, Yahweh, —Many shall be the dead bodies in every place—cast forth—[with a] hush!
“Pazuva iro,” ndizvo zvinotaura Ishe Jehovha, “nziyo dzomutemberi dzichashanduka dzigova kuchema. Mitumbi yevakafa ichava mizhinji. Munzvimbo dzose icharaswa vanhu vanyerere.”
4 Hear this, ye who pant after the needy, and to make an end of the oppressed of the land:
Inzwai izvi imi munotsika-tsika vanoshayiwa uye muchiparadza varombo venyika,
5 Who say, When will the new moon, pass away, that we may sell corn? and the sabbath that we may open grain? who diminish the ephah, and increase the shekel, and who falsify by deceitful weights:
muchiti, “Kugara kwoMwedzi kuchapfuura riniko kuti tigotengesa zviyo, uye kupera kweSabata kuti tigotengesa gorosi?” muchitapudza chiero, muchikwidza mitengo uye muchibiridzira nezvikero zvinonyengera,
6 Who buy—for silver—the poor, and the needy for a pair of shoes, —and that the refuse of the grain we may sell.
muchitenga varombo nesirivha uye vanoshayiwa neshangu, muchitengesa kunyange makoto pamwe chete negorosi.
7 Sworn hath Yahweh, by the Excellency of Jacob, —Surely I will never forget any of their doings!
Jehovha apika noKuzvikudza kwaJakobho achiti, “Handizokanganwi chinhu chipi nechipi zvacho chavakaita.
8 Is it not, for this, that the land, shall tremble? and shall mourn every inhabitant therein? Shall it not come up—like the Nile, all of it, and be tossed and subside like the river of Egypt?
“Ko, nyika haingadederi nokuda kwaizvozvi here uye vose vanogara mairi havangachemi? Nyika yose ichadira seNairi, ichabvongodzwa uye igoderera sorwizi rweIjipiti.
9 Yea it shall come to pass, in that day, Declareth My Lord, Yahweh, that I will cause the sun to go in at high noon, —and will darken the earth on a day of brightness!
“Pazuva iro,” ndizvo zvinotaura Ishe Jehovha, “ndichaita kuti zuva rivire masikati makuru uye ndichauyisa rima panyika masikati machena.
10 So will I turn your festivals into mourning, and all your songs into a dirge, and I will bring up—on all loins—sackcloth, and upon every head—baldness, —and I will make it like the mourning for an only one, even the afterpart thereof, as a day of bitterness.
Ndichashandura mitambo yenyu yechinamato ive kuchema, nokuimba kwose kuti kuve mhere. Ndichaita kuti mose mupfeke masaga uye mugoveura misoro yenyu. Ndichaita kuti nguva iyi ive samariro omwanakomana akaberekwa ari mumwe oga, uye magumo acho ave sezuva rakaipa kwazvo.
11 Lo! days are coming, Declareth My Lord, Yahweh, that I will send a hunger throughout the land, —not a hunger for food, nor a thirst for water, but for hearing the words of Yahweh;
“Mazuva ari kuuya,” ndizvo zvinotaura Ishe Jehovha, “andichatumira nzara panyika yose, kwete nzara yezvokudya kana nyota yemvura, asi nzara yokunzwa mashoko aJehovha.
12 Therefore shall men rove about—from sea to sea, and from the north even unto sunrise, —they shall run to and fro—seeking the word of Yahweh, but shall not find [it].
Vanhu vachadzedzereka vachibva kugungwa vachienda kune rimwe gungwa, uye vachadzungaira vachibva kumusoro vachienda kumabvazuva, vachitsvaka shoko raJehovha, asi havangariwani.
13 In that day, shall the fair virgins and the choice young men faint for thirst.
“Pazuva iro, “mhandara dzakaisvonaka namajaya akasimba vachaziya nenyota.
14 They who swear by the Guilt of Samaria, and say, As thy God, liveth, O Dan! and, As the Way of Beer-sheba, liveth, shall fall, and shall not rise any more.
Avo vanopika nokunyadzisa kweSamaria, kana vanoti, ‘Namwari wako mupenyu, iwe Dhani,’ kana kuti, ‘Namwari waBheerishebha mupenyu,’ vachawa, vasingazomukazve.”
