Amos 3
1 Ku ji wannan maganar da Ubangiji ya yi game da ku, ya ku jama’ar Isra’ila, a kan dukan iyalin da na fitar daga Masar.
Hear this word that Jehovah hath spoken against you, children of Israel, against the whole family that I brought up from the land of Egypt, saying,
2 “Ku ne kaɗai na zaɓa cikin dukan al’umman duniya; saboda haka zan hukunta ku saboda dukan zunubanku.”
You only have I known of all the families of the earth; therefore will I visit upon you all your iniquities.
3 Mutum biyu za su iya yin tafiya tare in ba su yarda su yi haka ba?
Shall two walk together except they be agreed?
4 Zaki yakan yi ruri a jeji in bai sami kama nama ba? Zai yi gurnani a cikin kogonsa in bai kama kome ba?
Will a lion roar in the forest when he hath no prey? Will a young lion cry out of his den if he have taken nothing?
5 Tsuntsu yakan fāɗa a tarko a ƙasa inda ba a sa tarko ba, ko tarko yakan zargu daga ƙasa in ba abin da ya taɓa shi?
Can a bird fall in a snare upon the earth when no gin [is laid] for him? Will the snare spring up from the earth when nothing at all hath been taken?
6 Idan aka busa ƙaho a ciki birni mutane ba sa yin rawar jiki? Sa’ad da bala’i ya auko wa birni, ba Ubangiji ne ya sa a kawo shi ba?
Shall a trumpet be blown in the city, and the people not be afraid? Shall there be evil in a city, and Jehovah not have done [it]?
7 Ba shakka, Ubangiji Mai Iko Duka ba ya yin wani abu ba tare da ya sanar wa bayinsa annabawa ba.
But the Lord Jehovah will do nothing, but he revealeth his secret unto his servants the prophets.
8 Zaki ya yi ruri, wa ba zai tsorata ba? Ubangiji Mai Iko Duka ya yi magana, wa ba zai yi annabci ba?
The lion hath roared, — who will not fear? The Lord Jehovah hath spoken, — who can but prophesy?
9 Ku yi shela ga kagarun Ashdod da kuma ga kagarun Masar. “Ku tara kanku a tuddan Samariya; ku ga rashin jituwar da take a cikinta, da kuma zaluncin da ake yi a cikin mutanenta.”
Publish in the palaces at Ashdod, and in the palaces in the land of Egypt, and say, Assemble yourselves upon the mountains of Samaria, and behold the great uproar in the midst thereof, and the oppressions that are within her:
10 “Ba su ma san yadda za su yi abin da yake daidai ba,” in ji Ubangiji, “sun ɓoye ganima da abubuwan da suka washe a cikin kagarunsu.”
and they know not to do right, saith Jehovah, who store up violence and plunder in their palaces.
11 Saboda haka ga abin da Ubangiji Mai Iko Duka ya ce, “Abokin gāba zai ƙwace ƙasar, zai saukar da mafakarku, zai washe kagarunku.”
Therefore thus saith the Lord Jehovah: An adversary! — even round about the land! And he shall bring down thy strength from thee, and thy palaces shall be pillaged.
12 Ga abin da Ubangiji ya ce, “Kamar yadda makiyayi yakan ceci daga bakin zaki ƙasusuwa ƙafafu biyu kawai ko kunne ɗaya, haka za a ceci Isra’ilawa, masu zama a Samariya da kan gado kawai da kuma a ɗan ƙyalle a kan dogayen kujerunsu.”
Thus saith Jehovah: Like as the shepherd rescueth out of the jaw of the lion two legs, or a piece of an ear; so shall the children of Israel be rescued that sit in Samaria in the corner of a couch, and upon the damask of a bed.
13 “Ku ji wannan ku kuma yi wa gidan Yaƙub gargaɗi,” in ji Ubangiji, Ubangiji Allah Maɗaukaki.
Hear ye, and testify in the house of Jacob, saith the Lord Jehovah, the God of hosts,
14 “A ranar da zan hukunta Isra’ila saboda zunubanta, zan hallaka bagadan Betel; za a yayyanka ƙahonin bagadan za su fāɗa ƙasa
that in the day that I shall visit the transgressions of Israel upon him, I will also punish the altars of Bethel; and the horns of the altar shall be cut off, and fall to the ground.
15 Zan rushe gidan rani da na damina; gidajen da aka yi musu ado da hauren giwa za a rushe su haka ma duk za a rurrushe manyan gidaje,” in ji Ubangiji.
And I will smite the winter-house with the summer-house; and the houses of ivory shall perish, and many houses shall have an end, saith Jehovah.
