1 The wordis of Amos ben these, that was in the schepherdis thingis of Thecue, whiche he siy on Israel, in the daies of Osie, king of Juda, and in the daies of Jeroboam, sone of Joas, kyng of Israel, bifor twei yeeris of the erthe mouynge.
La ngamazwi ka-Amosi, omunye wabelusi baseThekhowa, lokho akubonayo mayelana lo-Israyeli eminyakeni emibili ngaphambi kokuzamazama komhlaba, ngezinsuku u-Uziya eyinkosi yakoJuda loJerobhowamu indodana kaJowashi eyinkosi yako-Israyeli.
2 And he seide, The Lord schal rore fro Sion, and schal yyue his vois fro Jerusalem; and the faire thingis of schepherdis mourenyden, and the cop of Carmele was maad drie.
Wathi: “UThixo uyavungama eseZiyoni, idume iJerusalema; amadlelo abelusi ayoma lengqongo yeKhameli iyabuna.”
3 The Lord seith these thingis, On thre grete trespassis of Damask, and on foure, I shal not conuerte it, for it threischide Galaad in irun waynes.
Nanku okutshiwo nguThixo: “Ngenxa yezono ezintathu zeDamaseko, loba ngenxa yezine, kangiyikulunqanda ulaka lwami. Ngenxa yokuthi yatshaya iGiliyadi ngemibhulo elamazinyo ensimbi,
4 And Y schal sende fier in to the hous of Asael, and it schal deuoure the housis of Benadab.
ngizathumela umlilo endlini kaHazayeli ozalobisa izinqaba zikaBheni-Hadadi.
5 And Y schal al to-breke the barre of Damask, and Y schal leese a dwellere fro the feeld of idol, and hym that holdith the ceptre fro the hous of lust and of letcherie; and the puple of Sirie schal be translatid to Sirenen, seith the Lord.
Ngizabhidliza isango laseDamaseko; ngizachitha inkosi ephakathi kweSigodi sase-Aveni lalowo ophethe intonga yobukhosi eBhethi Edeni. Abantu base-Aramu bazathunjwa basiwe eKhiri,” kutsho uThixo.
6 The Lord seith these thingis, On thre grete trespassis of Gasa, and on foure, Y schal not conuerte it, for it translatide perfit caitifte, to close that togidere in Idumee.
Nanku okutshiwo nguThixo: “Ngenxa yezono ezintathu zeGaza loba ngenxa yezine, kangiyikulunqanda ulaka lwami ngenxa yokuthi yathumba abantu bezigaba zonke yabathengisa e-Edomi,
7 And Y schal sende fier in to the wal of Gasa, and it schal deuoure the housis therof.

8 And Y schal leese the dwelleris of Azotus, and hym that holdith the ceptre of Ascalon; and Y schal turne myn hond on Accaron, and the remenauntis of Filisteis schulen perische, seith the Lord God.
Ngizayichitha inkosi yase-Ashidodi kanye lalowo ophatha intonga yobukhosi e-Ashikheloni. Ngizaphendulela isandla sami ekuhlaseleni i-Ekroni kuze kufe umFilistiya wokucina,” kutsho uThixo Wobukhosi.
9 The Lord God seith these thingis, On thre grete trespassis of Tire, and on foure, Y schal not conuerte it, for thei closiden togidere perfit caitifte in Idumee, and hadde not mynde on the boond of pees of britheren.
Nanku okutshiwo nguThixo: “Ngenxa yezono ezintathu zaseThire loba ngenxa yezine, kangiyikulunqanda ulaka lwami. Ngenxa yokuthi yabathengisela e-Edomi bonke abantu bezigaba zonke ezathunjwayo inganaki isivumelwano sobuzalwane,
10 And Y schal sende fier in to the wal of Tire, and it schal deuoure the housis therof.
ngizathumela umlilo emidulini yaseThire ozalobisa izinqaba zayo.”
11 The Lord seith these thingis, On thre grete trespassis of Edom, and on foure, Y schal not conuerte it, for it pursuede bi swerd his brother, and defoulide the merci of hym, and helde ferthere his woodnesse, and kepte his indignacioun `til in to the ende.
Nanku okutshiwo nguThixo: “Ngenxa yezono ezintathu zase-Edomi loba ngenxa yezine, kangiyikulunqanda ulaka lwami. Ngenxa yokuthi waxotshana lomfowabo ngenkemba, enqabela isihawu sonke, ngoba ulaka lwakhe lwavutha kokuphela lentukuthelo yakhe yabhebha ingelakuthitshwa,
12 Y schal sende fier in to Theman, and it schal deuoure the housis of Bosra.
ngizathumela umlilo eThemani ozalobisa izinqaba zaseBhozira.”
13 The Lord seith these thingis, On thre grete trespassis of the sones of Amon, and on foure, Y schal not conuerte hym, for he karf the wymmen with childe of Galaad, for to alarge his terme.
Nanku okutshiwo nguThixo: “Ngenxa yezono ezintathu zase-Amoni, loba langenxa yezine, kangiyikulunqanda ulaka lwami. Ngenxa yokuthi waqhaqha abesifazane abazithweleyo baseGiliyadi ukuze aqhelise ilizwe lakhe,
14 And Y schal kyndle fier in the wal of Rabbe, and it schal deuoure the housis therof, in yellyng in the dai of batel, and in whirlwynd in the dai of mouyng togidere.
ngizathungela imiduli yaseRaba ngomlilo ozalobisa izinqaba zayo kumenyezelwa izitsho zempi ngosuku lokulwa kulomoya olamandla ngosuku lwesiphepho.
15 And Melchon schal go in to caitifte, he and hise princes togidere, seith the Lord.
Inkosi yalo izathunjwa, yona kanye lezikhulu zayo,” kutsho uThixo.
