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 Yahweh has spoken against you, people of Israel, against the whole family that I brought up out of the land of Egypt:
2 “Ku ne kaɗai na zaɓa cikin dukan al’umman duniya; saboda haka zan hukunta ku saboda dukan zunubanku.”
“I have chosen only you from all the families of the earth. Therefore I will punish you for all your sins.”
3 Mutum biyu za su iya yin tafiya tare in ba su yarda su yi haka ba?
Will 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 forest when he has no victim? Will a young lion growl from 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 ground when no bait is set for him? Will a trap spring up from the ground when it has not caught anything?
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?
If a trumpet sounds in a city, will the people not tremble? If disaster overtakes a city, has Yahweh not sent it?
7 Ba shakka, Ubangiji Mai Iko Duka ba ya yin wani abu ba tare da ya sanar wa bayinsa annabawa ba.
Surely the Lord Yahweh will do nothing unless he reveals his plan 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? The Lord Yahweh has spoken; who will not 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 this in the fortresses at Ashdod, and in the fortresses in the land of Egypt; say, “Assemble yourselves on the mountains of Samaria and see what great confusion is in her, and what oppression is in 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.”
For they do not know how to do right —this is Yahweh's declaration— They store up violence and destruction in their fortresses.”
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, this is what the Lord Yahweh says: “An enemy will surround the land, and pull down your strongholds and plunder your fortresses.”
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.”
This is what Yahweh says: “As the shepherd rescues out of the mouth of the lion two legs only, or a piece of an ear; so will the people of Israel who live in Samaria be rescued; they will be left with only the corner of a couch or a piece of a bed.”
13 “Ku ji wannan ku kuma yi wa gidan Yaƙub gargaɗi,” in ji Ubangiji, Ubangiji Allah Maɗaukaki.
Hear and testify against the house of Jacob —this is the declaration of the Lord Yahweh, 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 punish the sins of Israel, I will also punish the altars of Bethel. 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 destroy the winter house with the summer house. The houses of ivory will perish, and the large houses will vanish, —this is Yahweh's declaration.”
