< Amos 4 >
1 Ku kasa kunne ga wannan, ya ku shanun Bashan a kan Dutsen Samariya, ku matan da kuke cin zalin matalauta, kuke kuma danne matalauta, kuna kuma ce wa mazanku, “Ku kawo mana abin sha!”
Hear ye this word, ye heifers of Bashan, that are in the mountain of Samaria, who oppress the poor, who crush the needy, —who say to their lords, Bring in, and let us drink!
2 Ubangiji Mai Iko Duka ya rantse da tsarkinsa. “Tabbatacce lokaci yana zuwa da za a jawo ku da ƙugiyoyi, na ƙarshenku za a kama da ƙugiyar kifi.
Sworn hath My Lord, Yahweh, by his own holiness, That lo! days, are coming upon you, —when he will take you away with hooks, and your followers with fishhooks;
3 Dukanku za ku wuce ta kai tsaye ta inda katangar ta tsage, za a jefar da ku a Harmon,” in ji Ubangiji.
And, through fissures, shall ye go out, every woman, straight before her, —and ye shall be thrust forth towards the castle, Declareth Yahweh.
4 “Ku tafi Betel ku yi ta aikata zunubi; ku je Gilgal ku ƙara yin zunubi. Ku kawo hadayunku kowace safiya, zakkarku kowace shekara uku.
Enter ye Bethel, and transgress, At Gilgal, cause transgression, to abound, —Yea, carry in, every morning, your sacrifices, every three days, your tithes;
5 Ku ƙona burodinku mai yisti kamar hadaya ta godiya, ku yi fariya game da hadayunku na yarda rai, ku yi taƙama game da su, ya ku Isra’ilawa, gama abin da kuke jin daɗin aikata ke nan,” in ji Ubangiji Mai Iko Duka.
Yea, burn thou incense, of that which is leavened, as a thank-offering, and proclaim ye freewill-offerings, let them be known, —for, so, ye love [to have it], ye sons of Israel, Declareth My Lord, Yahweh.
6 “Na bar ku da yunwa a kowace birni, da kuma rashin abinci a kowane gari, duk da haka ba ku juyo gare ni ba,” in ji Ubangiji.
Moreover also, I, have given you cleanness of teeth throughout all your cities, and want of bread throughout all your dwelling-places, —Yet have ye not returned unto me, Declareth Yahweh.
7 “Na kuma hana muku ruwan sama tun shuke-shuken suna wata uku kafin lokacin girbi. Na sa aka yi ruwan sama a wani gari, sai na hana a yi a wani gari. Wata gona ta sami ruwan sama; wata gona kuma ta bushe.
Moreover also, I, have withholden from you the abundant rain, when yet there were only three mouths to the harvest, Or I might rain upon one city, and, on another city, might not rain, —One portion, would be rained upon, and, the portion whereupon it should not rain, would be dried up;
8 Mutane suna tangaɗi daga gari zuwa gari suna neman ruwa amma ba su sami isashen ruwan sha ba, duk da haka ba ku juyo gare ni ba,” in ji Ubangiji.
Then would two or three cities totter to one city to drink water, without being satisfied, —Yet have ye not returned unto me, Declareth Yahweh.
9 “Sau da yawa na ɓata gonakinku da fumfuna da kuma cuta. Fāri suka cinye itatuwanku na inabi da na ɓaure, da na zaitun duk da haka ba ku juyo gare ni ba,” in ji Ubangiji.
I have smitten you with blight and with mildew, When your gardens and your vineyards and your fig-trees and your olive-trees have increased, the creeping locust would devour them, —Yet have ye not returned unto me, Declareth Yahweh.
10 “Na aiko muku annoba yadda na yi a Masar. Na karkashe samarinku da takobi, tare da kamammun dawakanku. Na cika hancinku da warin sansaninku, duk da haka ba ku juyo gare ni ba” in ji Ubangiji.
I have sent among you pestilence, in the manner of Egypt, I have slain, with the sword, your young men, and therewith have been taken captive your horses, And I have caused to ascend—the stench of your camps, even into your own nostrils, Yet ye have not returned unto me, Declareth Yahweh.
11 “Na hallaka waɗansunku kamar yadda na hallaka Sodom da Gomorra. Kuna kama da itace mai cin wutar da na cire daga cikin wuta, duk da haka ba ku juyo gare ni ba,” in ji Ubangiji.
I have made an overthrew among you, like the divine overthrow of Sodom and Gomorrah, and ye have become like a brand snatched out of the burning, —Yet hate ye not returned unto me, Declareth Yahweh.
12 “Saboda haka ga abin da zan yi da ku, ya Isra’ila, don kuwa zan yi muku haka, sai ku yi shirin gamuwa da Allahnku, ya Isra’ila.”
Therefore, thus, will I do unto thee, O Israel, —Because this thing I will do unto thee, Prepare to meet thy God, O Israel.
13 Shi wanda ya yi duwatsu, ya halicci iska, ya kuma bayyana wa mutum tunaninsa, shi wanda ya juya safiya ta zama duhu yana takawa a wurare masu tsawo na duniya, Ubangiji Allah Maɗaukaki ne sunansa.
For lo! He that fashioned the mountains, and created the wind, and who telleth the son of earth what is his thought, who turneth dawn into darkness, and marcheth upon the high places of the earth, Yahweh, God of hosts, is his name!
