Amos 3
1 Hear this word that the LORD has spoken against you, children of Israel, against the whole family which I brought up out of the land of Egypt, saying:
Inzwai shoko iri rakataurwa naJehovha pamusoro penyu, imi vanhu veIsraeri, pamusoro pemhuri yose yandakabudisa kubva muIjipiti:
2 “I have only chosen you of all the families of the earth. Therefore I will punish you for all of your sins.”
“Ndimi moga vandakasarudza pamhuri dzose dzapanyika; naizvozvo ndichakurangai nokuda kwezvivi zvenyu zvose.”
3 Do two walk together, unless they have agreed?
Ko, vaviri vangafamba pamwe chete vasina kunge vatenderana here?
4 Will a lion roar in the thicket, when he has no prey? Does a young lion cry out of his den, if he has caught nothing?
Ko, shumba ingaomba mudondo isina chayaruma here? Ko, ingarira mubako rayo isina chayabata here?
5 Can a bird fall in a trap on the earth, where no snare is set for him? Does a snare spring up from the ground, when there is nothing to catch?
Ko, shiri ingawira pasi mumusungo pasina kuteyiwa rugombe here? Ko, musungo ungaurukira kumusoro pasina chawabata here?
6 Does the trumpet alarm sound in a city, without the people being afraid? Does evil happen to a city, and the LORD hasn’t done it?
Hwamanda ingarira muguta, vanhu vakasatya here? Njodzi painowira guta, ko, haazi Jehovha anenge azviita here?
7 Surely the Lord GOD will do nothing, unless he reveals his secret to his servants the prophets.
Zvirokwazvo, Ishe Jehovha haaiti chinhu asina kuzivisa varanda vake, vaprofita, zvakavanzika zvake.
8 The lion has roared. Who will not fear? The Lord GOD has spoken. Who can but prophesy?
Shumba yaomba, ndiani angarega kutya? Ishe Jehovha ataura, ndiani angarega kuprofita?
9 Proclaim in the palaces at Ashdod, and in the palaces in the land of Egypt, and say, “Assemble yourselves on the mountains of Samaria, and see what unrest is in her, and what oppression is amongst them.”
Paridzirai nhare dzeAshidhodhi nenhare dzeIjipiti muchiti: “Unganai pamakomo eSamaria; onai kusagadzikana kukuru kuri mukati maro, noudzvinyiriri huri pakati pavanhu varo.”
10 “Indeed they don’t know to do right,” says the LORD, “Who hoard plunder and loot in their palaces.”
“Havazivi kuita zvakarurama,” ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha, “ivo vanounganidza zvakapambwa nezvakabiwa munhare dzaro.”
11 Therefore the Lord GOD says: “An adversary will overrun the land; and he will pull down your strongholds, and your fortresses will be plundered.”
Naizvozvo zvanzi naIshe Jehovha, “Muvengi achatora nyika; achawisira pasi nzvimbo dzako uye achapamba nhare dzako.”
12 The LORD says: “As the shepherd rescues out of the mouth of the lion two legs, or a piece of an ear, so shall the children of Israel be rescued who sit in Samaria on the corner of a couch, and on the silken cushions of a bed.”
Zvanzi naJehovha: “Mufudzi sezvaanobvuta pamuromo weshumba mapfupa maviri amakumbo chete kana chipandi chenzeve, vaIsraeri vachaponeswa saizvozvowo, avo vanogara muSamaria pamicheto yemibhedha yavo, nomuDhamasiko pazvigaro zvavo.”
13 “Listen, and testify against the house of Jacob,” says the Lord GOD, the God of Armies.
“Inzwai izvi, mugopupura pamusoro peimba yaJakobho,” ndizvo zvinotaura Ishe Jehovha, Mwari Wamasimba Ose.
14 “For in the day that I visit the transgressions of Israel on him, I will also visit the altars of Bethel; and the horns of the altar will be cut off, and fall to the ground.
“Pazuva randicharanga Israeri nokuda kwezvivi zvayo, ndichaparadza aritari dzeBheteri; nyanga dzearitari dzichaparadzwa uye dzichawira pasi.
15 I will strike the winter house with the summer house; and the houses of ivory will perish, and the great houses will have an end,” says the LORD.
Ndichaparadza imba yenguva yechando, pamwe chete neimba yenguva yechirimo; dzimba dzakashongedzwa nenyanga dzenzou dzichaparadzwa uye dzimba huru dzichaparadzwa,” ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha.
