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!”
You [wealthy women] of Samaria [have grown fat like] [MET] the fat cows of the Bashan [region]. You oppress poor people and you cause needy people to suffer. And you say to your husbands, “Bring us [more wine] to 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.
But Yahweh [our] God has said this: “Because I am holy, I solemnly promise this: It will [soon] be the time when you all will be taken [to another country]; [your enemies will take you away as though they are] using sharp hooks [DOU] [to grab you].
3 Dukanku za ku wuce ta kai tsaye ta inda katangar ta tsage, za a jefar da ku a Harmon,” in ji Ubangiji.
[Your enemies] will drag you out through breaks/holes [in your city walls], and they will throw you outside the city. [That will surely happen because I], Yahweh, have said it!
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.
Go to Bethel and Gilgal [towns where many people worship me] and sin more and more [SAR]! [I say that not because I want you to do it], [but because it is what you have always been doing]! Offer sacrifices on the morning [after you arrive], [and bring me] (a tithe/one tenth) of your crops the next day.
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.
Bring offerings of bread to thank me, and [other] offerings that are not required/commanded, and boast about [these offerings that you bring], because that is what you like to do, [but you do it to impress others, not to please me]. [That is certainly true, because I], Yahweh, have said it.
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.
I [am the one who] caused there to be no food in any of your cities and towns [DOU], but you rejected me in spite of that.
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.
When it was still three months before [the time of] harvesting [crops], [at the time when your crops needed rain the most], I prevented rain from falling. [Sometimes] I allowed rain to fall on some towns and prevented it from falling on other towns. Rain fell on some fields, but it did not fall on other fields, with the result that [the soil in] those fields [where it did not rain] 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.
People would stagger from one town to another town to find water, but they could not even get enough water to drink, but in spite of that, you have not returned to me. [That is certainly true because I], Yahweh, have said it!
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 caused your grain fields to dry up; I caused your gardens and vineyards to be struck/destroyed by (blight/hot winds) and mildew. [I sent] locusts to eat [the leaves on] your fig trees and olive trees, but in spite of that, you rejected me. [That is certainly true because I], Yahweh, have said it!
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 caused you to experience (plagues/severe sicknesses) like the plagues [that I sent to the people] of Egypt. I caused [many of] your young men to die in battles. I allowed [your enemies] to capture your horses. [Many of your soldiers were killed, ] and I caused your camps to be filled with the smell/stink of their [decaying] corpses. But in spite of that, you rejected me. [That is certainly true, because] I, Yahweh, have said it!
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 got rid of many of you, like I got rid of [the people in] Sodom and Gomorrah. [Those of] you who [did not die] were like [SIM] a burning stick that was snatched from a fire [so that it would not burn completely]. But in spite of that, you rejected me. [That is certainly true, because I], Yahweh, have said it!
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.”
So [now], you [people of] Israel, I am going to punish you. Prepare to stand in front of me, your God, [when I judge you]!
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.
I created the mountains, and [I] created winds. I reveal to humans what I am thinking. I [sometimes] cause the daylight to become dark [like the night]. I [rule over everything]; I [even] walk on the highest mountains on the earth! I am the Commander of the armies of angels!”
