< Amos 3 >
1 Sones of Israel, here ye the word which the Lord spak on you, and on al the kynrede, which Y ledde out of the lond of Egipt,
Sikilizeni neno hili alilosema Bwana dhidi yenu, enyi watu wa Israeli, dhidi ya jamaa nzima niliowapandisha toka Misri:
2 and seide, Oneli Y knewe you of alle the kynredis of erthe; therfor Y schal visite on you alle youre wickidnessis.
“Ni ninyi tu niliowachagua kati ya jamaa zote za dunia; kwa hiyo nitawaadhibu kwa ajili ya dhambi zenu zote.”
3 Whether tweyne schulen go togidere, no but it acorde to hem?
Je, watu wawili hutembea pamoja wasipokubaliana kufanya hivyo?
4 Whether a lioun schal rore in a forest, no but he haue prey? Whether the whelp of a lioun schal yyue vois fro his denne, no but he take ony thing?
Je, simba hunguruma katika kichaka wakati hana mawindo? Aweza kuvuma katika pango wakati ambao hajakamata chochote?
5 Whether a brid schal falle in to a snare of erthe, with outen a foulere? Whether a snare schal be takun awei fro erthe, bifor that it tak sum thing?
Je, ndege aweza kuanguka kwenye mtego ulio ardhini ambapo hajategewa chambo? Je, mtego unaweza kufyatuka toka ardhini wakati ambapo hakuna chochote cha kunasa?
6 Whether a trumpe schal sowne in a citee, and the puple schal not drede? Whether yuel schal be in a citee, which yuel the Lord schal not make?
Je, tarumbeta inapopigwa mjini kujulisha hatari, watu hawatetemeki? Mji upatwapo na maafa, je, si Bwana amesababisha?
7 For the Lord God schal not make a word, no but he schewe his priuyte to hise seruauntis profetis.
Hakika Bwana Mwenyezi hatafanya neno lolote bila kuwafunulia watumishi wake manabii siri yake.
8 A lioun schal rore, who schal not drede? the Lord God spak, who schal not profesie?
Simba amenguruma: je, ni nani ambaye hataogopa? Bwana Mwenyezi ametamka: je, ni nani awezaye kukosa kutoa unabii?
9 Make ye herd in the housis of Azotus, and in the housis of the lond of Egipt; and seie ye, Be ye gaderid togidere on the hillis of Samarye, and se ye many woodnessis in the myddis therof, and hem that suffren fals calenge in the priuy places therof.
Tangazeni katika ngome za Ashdodi na katika ngome za Misri: “Kusanyikeni juu ya milima ya Samaria; angalieni wingi wa wasiwasi ulio ndani yake, na uonevu ulio miongoni mwa watu wake.”
10 And thei kouden not do riytful thing, seith the Lord, and tresouriden wickidnesse and raueyn in her housis.
Bwana asema: “Hawajui kutenda lililo jema, wale ambao hujilundikia nyara na vitu vilivyotekwa katika ngome zao.”
11 Therfor the Lord God seith these thingis, The lond schal be troblid, and be cumpassid; and thi strengthe schal be drawun doun of thee, and thin housis schulen be rauyschid.
Kwa hiyo hili ndilo asemalo Bwana Mwenyezi: “Adui ataizingira nchi; ataangusha chini ngome zenu na kuteka nyara maboma yenu.”
12 The Lord God seith these thingis, As if a schepherd rauyschith fro the mouth of a lioun tweyne hipis, ether the laste thing of the eere, so the children of Israel schulen be rauyschid, that dwellen in Samarie, in the cuntrei of bed, and in the bed of Damask.
Hili ndilo asemalo Bwana: “Kama vile mchungaji aokoavyo kinywani mwa simba vipande viwili tu vya mfupa wa mguu au kipande cha sikio, hivyo ndivyo Waisraeli watakavyookolewa, wale wakaao Samaria kwenye kingo za vitanda vyao, na katika Dameski kwenye viti vyao vya fahari.”
13 Here ye, and witnesse ye in the hous of Jacob, seith the Lord God of oostis.
“Sikia hili na ushuhudie dhidi ya nyumba ya Yakobo,” asema Bwana, Bwana Mungu Mwenye Nguvu Zote.
14 For in the dai, whanne Y schal bigynne to visite the trespassyngis of Israel on hym, Y schal visite also on the auteris of Bethel; and the hornes of the auter schulen be kit awei, and schulen falle doun in to erthe.
“Siku nitakapomwadhibu Israeli kwa sababu ya dhambi zake, nitaharibu madhabahu za Betheli; pembe za madhabahu zitakatiliwa mbali na kuanguka chini.
15 And Y schal smyte the wynter hous with the somer hous, and the housis of yuer schulen perische, and many housis schulen be distried, seith the Lord.
Nitabomoa nyumba ya wakati wa masika, pamoja na nyumba ya wakati wa kiangazi; nyumba zilizonakshiwa kwa pembe za ndovu na majumba makubwa ya fahari yatabomolewa,” asema Bwana.
