< Amos 6 >

1 Wo to you, that ben ful of richessis in Sion, and tristen in the hil of Samarie, ye principal men, the heedis of puplis, that goen proudli in to the hous of Israel.
Maye kubo abonwabileyo eZiyoni, labavikelekileyo entabeni yeSamariya, abakhethekileyo bokuqala bezizwe, abaya kubo abendlu kaIsrayeli!
2 Go ye in to Calamye, and se ye, and go ye fro thennus in to Emath the greet; and go ye doun in to Geth of Palestyns, and to alle the beste rewmes of hem, if her terme be broddere than youre terme.
Dlulelani eKaline, libone, lisuke lapho liye eHamathi enkulu, lehlele eGathi yamaFilisti. Bangcono yini kulalimibuso? Umngcele wabo mkhulu yini kulomngcele wenu?
3 And ye ben departid in to yuel dai, and neiyen to the seete of wickidnesse;
Lina elibeka khatshana usuku olubi, lisondeza eduze isihlalo sodlakela.
4 and ye slepen in beddis of yuer, and doen letcherie in youre beddis; and ye eten a lomb of the flok, and calues of the myddil of droue;
Labo abalala phezu kwemibheda yophondo lwendlovu, bacambalale phezu kwamathala abo, badle amawundlu avela emhlanjini, lamankonyana avela phakathi kwesibaya;
5 and ye syngen at vois of sautree. As Dauid thei gessiden hem for to haue instrumentis of song, and drynken wyn in viols;
abatshotsha ngokukhala kwechacho, beziqambela izinto zokukhaliswa, njengoDavida;
6 and with beste oynement thei weren anoynted; and in no thing thei hadden compassioun on the sorewe, ether defoulyng, of Joseph.
benatha iwayini ngemiganu, bazigcobe ngamagcobo akhethekileyo, kodwa kabadabukeli ukuchitheka kukaJosefa.
7 Wherfor now thei schulen passe in the heed of men passynge ouer, and the doyng of men doynge letcherie schal be don awei.
Ngakho khathesi bazakuya ekuthunjweni labakuqala abaya ekuthunjweni, ledili labacambalalayo lizasuswa.
8 The Lord God swoor in his soule, seith the Lord God of oostis, Y wlate the pride of Jacob, and Y hate the housis of hym, and Y schal bitake the citee with hise dwelleris;
INkosi uJehova ifungile ngayo uqobo, itsho iNkosi uNkulunkulu wamabandla: Ngiyakwenyanya ukuziqhenya kukaJakobe, ngizonda izigodlo zakhe; ngakho ngizawunikela umuzi lokugcwala kwawo.
9 that if ten men ben left in oon hous, and thei schulen die.
Kuzakuthi-ke uba kusele amadoda alitshumi endlini eyodwa, azakufa.
10 And his neiybore schal take hym, and schal brenne hym, that he bere out boonys of the hous. And he schal seie to hym, that is in the priuy places of the hous, Whether ther is yit anentis thee? And he schal answer, An ende is. And he schal seie to hym, Be thou stille, and thenke thou not on the name of the Lord.
Njalo umalume womuntu uzamphakamisa, lalowo omtshisayo, ukukhupha amathambo endlini, abesesithi kosemaceleni endlu: Kusekhona yini olawe? Njalo uzakuthi: Kakho. Khona uzakuthi: Thula, ngoba kakusikokuqamba ibizo leNkosi.
11 For lo! the Lord schal comaunde, and schal smyte the grettere hous with fallyngis, and the lesse hous with brekyngis.
Ngoba khangela, iNkosi iyalaya, njalo izatshaya indlu enkulu ibe yizihlephu, lendlu encinyane ibe yizicucu.
12 Whether horsis moun renne in stoonys, ether it mai be eerid with wielde oxun? For ye turneden doom in to bitternesse, and the fruyt of riytfulnesse in to wermod.
Amabhiza angagijima edwaleni yini? Umuntu angalima khona ngezinkabi yini? Ngoba liphendulele isahlulelo saba yinyongo, lesithelo sokulunga saba ngumhlonyane.
13 And ye ben glad in nouyt, and ye seien, Whether not in oure strengthe we token to vs hornes?
Lina elithokoza ngento engelutho, elithi: Kasizithathelanga izimpondo yini ngamandla ethu?
14 Lo! Y schal reise on you, the hous of Israel, seith the Lord God of oostis, a folc; and it schal al to-breke you fro entre of Emath `til to the streem of desert.
Ngoba khangelani, ngizalivusela, lina ndlu kaIsrayeli, itsho iNkosi uNkulunkulu wamabandla, isizwe, esizalihlupha kusukela ekungeneni kweHamathi kuze kube sesifuleni senkangala.
