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 YHWH has spoken against you, children of Israel, against the whole family which I brought up out of 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 chosen of all the families of the earth. Therefore I will punish you for all of your sins."
3 Mutum biyu za su iya yin tafiya tare in ba su yarda su yi haka ba?
Do two walk together, unless they have 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 thicket, when he has no prey? Does a young lion cry out of his den, if he has caught 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 trap on the earth, where no snare is set for him? Does a snare spring up from the ground, when there is nothing to catch?
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?
Does the trumpet alarm sound in a city, without the people being afraid? Does disaster happen to a city, unless YHWH has done it?
7 Ba shakka, Ubangiji Mai Iko Duka ba ya yin wani abu ba tare da ya sanar wa bayinsa annabawa ba.
Surely YHWH will do nothing, unless he reveals his secret to 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 has roared. Who will not fear? YHWH has 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.”
Proclaim in the palaces at Ashdod, and in the palaces in the land of Egypt, and say, "Assemble yourselves on the mountain of Samaria, and see what unrest is in her, and what oppression is among them."
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.”
"Indeed they do not know to do right," says YHWH, "Who hoard plunder and loot 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 says YHWH: "An adversary will surround the land; and he will pull down your strongholds, and your fortresses will be plundered."
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 says YHWH: "As the shepherd rescues out of the mouth of the lion two legs, or a piece of an ear, so shall the children of Israel be rescued who sit in Samaria on the corner of a couch, and on the silken cushions of a bed."
13 “Ku ji wannan ku kuma yi wa gidan Yaƙub gargaɗi,” in ji Ubangiji, Ubangiji Allah Maɗaukaki.
"Listen, and testify against the house of Jacob," says YHWH, 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
"For in the day that I visit the transgressions of Israel on him, I will also visit the altars of Bethel; and the horns of the altar will 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.
I will strike the winter house with the summer house; and the houses of ivory will perish, and the great houses will have an end," says YHWH.
