< Amos 3 >
1 O Israel, se nya si Yehowa gblɔ tso mi ƒome blibo si wòkplɔ tso Egipte la ŋu ɖa.
Zwanini ilizwi elikhulunywe nguThixo ngani lina bantu bako-Israyeli Lomndeni wonke engawukhupha eGibhithe:
2 “Le amegbetɔƒome siwo katã le anyigba dzi dome la, miawo ko metia, eya ta wòle be mahe to na mi vevie ɖe miaƒe nu vɔ̃wo ta ɖo,
“Yini kuphela engalikhethayo kuyo yonke imideni yasemhlabeni; ngakho ngizalijezisela zonke izono zenu.”
3 elabena aleke ame eve ate ŋu azɔ ɖekae ne womeɖo gbe ɖi o?”
Ababili bayahamba bendawonye ngaphandle kokuba bevumelene ukwenzanjalo na?
4 Ɖe dzata ɖea gbe le ave me ne melé nu oa? Ɖe dzata tea gbe le eƒe do me ne mekpɔ lé nu haɖe oa?
Isilwane siyabhonga ehlathini kungelalutho esingalubamba na? Siyabhonga esikhundleni saso singabambanga lutho na?
5 Ɖe xevi dzona ɖe mɔ dzi le anyigba, ne wometre mɔ nɛ oa? Alo ɖe mɔ fena, ne naneke meɖo eme oa?
Inyoni iyabanjwa emhlabathini okungelamjibila othiywe khona na? Umjibila uyathanca usuke emhlabathini kungelalutho olubambayo na?
6 Ne kpẽ ɖi le du me la, ɖe dua me tɔwo mevɔ̃na oa? Ne dzɔgbevɔ̃e va du aɖe dzi la, ɖe menye Yehowae ɖe mɔ oa?
Lapho icilongo likhala edolobheni abantu kabethuki na? Lapho incithakalo isehlela idolobho kayenziwanga nguThixo na?
7 Eya ta Yehowa Ŋusẽkatãtɔ, mewɔa naneke ne meɖe eƒe ɖoɖo fia eƒe dɔla nyagblɔɖilawo hafi o.
Impela uThixo Wobukhosi kenzi lutho engavezanga icebo lakhe ezincekwini zakhe abaphrofethi.
8 Dzata ɖe gbe, ame kae mavɔ̃ o. Yehowa Mawu ƒo nu, ame kae agbe be yemagblɔ nya ɖi o.
Isilwane sibhongile, ngubani ongayikwesaba na? UThixo Wobukhosi usekhulumile ngubani ongayekela ukuphrofitha na?
9 Miɖe gbeƒã le Asdod kple Egipte fiasãwo me be, “Miƒo ƒu mia ɖokuiwo ɖe Samaria towo dzi, ne miakpɔ ʋunyaʋunya gã kple teteɖeanyi siwo le edzi yim le dukɔ la dome.”
Memezelani ezinqabeni zase-Ashidodi lasezinqabeni zaseGibhithe lithi: “Buthanani phezu kwezintaba zaseSamariya; libone isiyaluyalu esikhulu phakathi kwayo lokuncindezela phakathi kwabantu bayo.”
10 Yehowa be, “Nye dukɔ ŋlɔ nu nyui wɔwɔ be, woƒe aƒe nyuiwo me yɔ kple nu siwo wofi kple nu siwo woda adzoe.”
“Kabakwazi ukwenza okulungileyo,” kutsho uThixo, “bona ababuthelela impango baphange lasezinqabeni zabo.”
11 Yehowa Mawu be, “Eya ta futɔ aɖe ava nye avuzi le miaƒe anyigba dzi, agbã miaƒe mɔ sesẽwo, eye wòaha miaƒe fiasãwo.”
Ngakho uThixo Wobukhosi uthi: “Isitha sizachitha ilizwe; sizadiliza izinqaba zenu, siphange izinqaba zenu.”
12 Ale Yehowa gblɔe nye si, “Abe ale si Alẽkplɔla ɖea lã ƒe ata eve kple to kakɛ aɖe ko le dzata ƒe nu me la, nenema kee wòanɔ na Israelvi siwo nɔ Samaria le aba ƒe dzogoe dzi kple ame siwo nɔ aba ƒe kundru dzi.”
Nanku okutshiwo nguThixo: “Njengomelusi ehlenga emlonyeni wesilwane amathambo amabili kuphela omlenze loba isiqa sendlebe, bazahlengwa kanjalo abako-Israyeli abahlala eSamariya bethithibele ekucineni kwemibheda yabo, kanye laseDamaseko phezu kwemibheda yabo yokuphumulela.”
13 Aƒetɔ Yehowa, Dziƒoʋakɔwo ƒe Mawu la gblɔ be, “Misee, eye miagblɔe na Yakob ƒe aƒe la be:
“Zwanini lokhu lifakaze ngendlu kaJakhobe,” kutsho iNkosi, uThixo uNkulunkulu uSomandla.
14 Gbe si gbe mahe to na Israel ɖe eƒe nu vɔ̃wo ta la, gbe ma gbe kee matsrɔ̃ legba siwo katã le Betel. Woaŋe vɔ̃samlekpui la ƒe dzowo woage ɖe anyigba.
“Ngosuku engizajezisela u-Israyeli izono zakhe ngizabhidliza ama-alithare aseBhetheli; impondo ze-alithare zizaqunywa ziwele emhlabathini.
15 Magbã kesinɔtɔwo ƒe aƒe nyuiwo, akaka woƒe vuvɔŋɔlixɔ dranyiwo kple woƒe dzomeŋɔlixɔwo. Matsrɔ̃ woƒe nyiɖuxɔwo, eye magbã woƒe sãwo,” Yehowae gblɔe.
Ngizadiliza indlu yebusika kanye lendlu yehlobo, izindlu eziceciswe ngempondo zendlovu zizadilizwa lezindlu ezinkulu zizabhidlizwa,” kutsho uThixo.
