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 the LORD hath spoken against you, O children of Israel, against the whole family which 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 I will punish you for all your iniquities.
3 Mutum biyu za su iya yin tafiya tare in ba su yarda su yi haka ba?
Can two walk together, except they are 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 hath 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, where no gin [is] for him? shall [one] take up a snare from the earth, and have taken nothing at all?
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?
Shalt a trumpet be blown in the city, and the people not be afraid? shall there be evil in a city, and the LORD hath not done [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 GOD will do nothing, but he revealeth 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 hath roared, who will not fear? the Lord GOD 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 tumults in the midst of it, and the oppressed in the midst of it.
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 know not to do right, saith the LORD, who store up violence and robbery 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 GOD; An adversary [there shall be] even around the land; and he shall bring down thy strength from thee, and thy palaces shall 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 saith the LORD: As the shepherd taketh out of the mouth of the lion two legs, or a piece of an ear; so shall the children of Israel be taken out that dwell in Samaria in the corner of a bed, and in Damascus [in] a couch.
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 GOD, 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 visit the altars of Beth-el: 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 the great houses shall have an end, saith the LORD.
