< Amos 5 >

1 Ku ji wannan magana, ya gidan Isra’ila, ina makokin nan dominku.
Give ear to this word, my song of sorrow over you, O children of Israel.
2 “Budurwa Isra’ila ta fāɗi, ba za tă ƙara tashi ba, an yashe ta a ƙasarta, ba wanda zai ɗaga ta.”
The virgin of Israel has been made low, never again to be lifted up: she is stretched out by herself on her land; there is no one to put her on her feet again.
3 Ga abin da Ubangiji Mai Iko Duka ya ce, “Birnin da ta fitar da masu ƙarfi dubbai don Isra’ila guda ɗari kaɗai za su dawo; garin da ya fitar da masu ƙarfi ɗari kuwa goma kaɗai za su dawo.”
For these are the words of the Lord God: The town which was able to send out a thousand, will have only a hundred; and that which sent out a hundred, will have only ten, in Israel.
4 Ga abin da Ubangiji ya ce wa gidan Isra’ila. “Ku neme ni ku rayu;
For these are the words of the Lord to the children of Israel: Let your hearts be turned to me, so that you may have life:
5 kada ku nemi Betel, kada ku je Gilgal, kada ku yi tafiya zuwa Beyersheba. Gama ba shakka Gilgal za tă tafi bauta, za a kuwa mai da Betel ba kome ba.”
Do not be looking for help to Beth-el, and do not go to Gilgal, or make your way to Beer-sheba: for Gilgal will certainly be taken prisoner, and Beth-el will come to nothing.
6 Ku nemi Ubangiji ku kuma rayu, ko kuwa zai ratsa yă share gidan Yusuf kamar wuta; zai cinye Betel kuwa ba zai sami wanda zai kashe ta ba.
Go to the Lord for help so that you may have life; for fear that he may come like fire bursting out in the family of Joseph, causing destruction, and there will be no one to put it out in Beth-el.
7 Ku ne masu mai da gaskiya ta koma ɗaci ku kuma zubar da adalci.
You who make the work of judging a bitter thing, crushing down righteousness to the earth;
8 (Shi wanda ya yi Taurarin nan da ake ce Kaza da’Ya’yanta da kuma Mai Farauta da Kare, wanda ya mai da duhu ya zama haske ya kuma baƙanta rana ta zama dare, yakan kwashe ruwan teku ya zubar a ƙasa, Ubangiji ne sunansa,
Go for help to him who makes Orion and the Pleiades, by whom the deep dark is turned into morning, who makes the day black with night; whose voice goes out to the waters of the sea, sending them out over the face of the earth: the Lord is his name;
9 yakan kawo hallaka a mafaka mai ƙarfi yakan kuma mai da birnin mai katanga ya zama kufai).
Who sends sudden destruction on the strong, so that destruction comes on the walled town.
10 Ba ku son mai yin gaskiya a ɗakin shari’a kuna ƙin mai faɗar gaskiya.
They have hate for him who makes protest against evil in the public place, and he whose words are upright is disgusting to them.
11 Kuna matsa wa matalauta kuna sa su dole su ba ku hatsi. Saboda haka, ko da yake kun gina gidajen duwatsu, ba za ku zauna a cikinsu ba; ko da yake kun nome gonaki masu kyau, ba za ku sha ruwan inabinsu ba.
So because the poor man is crushed under your feet, and you take taxes from him of grain: you have made for yourselves houses of cut stone, but you will not take your rest in them; the fair vine-gardens planted by your hands will not give you wine.
12 Gama na san yawan laifofinku da kuma girman zunubanku. Kuna danne masu adalci kuna kuma cin hanci kuna kuma hana a yi wa matalauta shari’ar adalci a majalisa.
For I have seen how your evil-doing is increased and how strong are your sins, you troublers of the upright, who take rewards and do wrong to the cause of the poor in the public place.
13 Saboda haka mai hankali yakan yi shiru a lokuta kamar haka, gama lokutan mugaye ne.
So the wise will say nothing in that time; for it is an evil time.
14 Ku yi nagarta, ba mugunta ba; don ku rayu sa’an nan Ubangiji Allah Maɗaukaki zai kasance da ku, kamar yadda kuka ce zai yi.
Go after good and not evil, so that life may be yours: and so the Lord, the God of armies, will be with you, as you say.
15 Ku ƙi mugunta, ku ƙaunaci nagarta; ku dinga yin shari’ar gaskiya a ɗakunan shari’a. Mai yiwuwa Ubangiji Allah Maɗaukaki zai ji tausayin raguwar Yusuf.
Be haters of evil and lovers of good, and let right be done in the public place: it may be that the Lord, the God of armies, will have mercy on the rest of Joseph.
16 Saboda haka ga abin da Ubangiji, Ubangiji Allah Maɗaukaki yana cewa, “Za a yi kururuwa a dukan tituna a kuma yi kuka don azaba a dukan wuraren da jama’a sukan taru. Za a yi kira ga manoma su yi kuka masu makoki kuma su yi kuka.
So these are the words of the Lord, the God of armies, the Lord: There will be weeping in all the open spaces; and in all the streets they will say, Sorrow! sorrow! and they will get in the farmer to the weeping, and the makers of sad songs to give cries of grief.
17 Za a yi kuka a dukan gonakin inabi, gama zan ratsa a cikinku,” in ji Ubangiji.
In all the vine-gardens there will be cries of grief: for I will go through among you, says the Lord.
18 Kaitonku masu son ganin ranar Ubangiji! Don me kuke son ganin ranar Ubangiji? Za a duhunta ranan nan, ba haske ba.
Sorrow to you who are looking for the day of the Lord! what is the day of the Lord to you? it is dark and not light.
19 Za ku zama kamar mutanen da suka guje wa zaki sai suka fāɗa a hannun beyar, ko kuma kamar wanda ya shiga gida ya dāfa hannu a bango sai maciji ya sare shi.
As if a man, running away from a lion, came face to face with a bear; or went into the house and put his hand on the wall and got a bite from a snake.
20 Ashe, ranar Ubangiji ba duhu ba ce, a maimakon haske, duhu wuluk, ba tare da ko ɗan haske ba.
Will not the day of the Lord be dark and not light? even very dark, with no light shining in it?
21 “Na ƙi, ina kuma ƙyamar bukukkuwanku na addini; ba na son ganin tarurrukanku.
Your feasts are disgusting to me, I will have nothing to do with them; I will take no delight in your holy meetings.
22 Ko da kun kawo mini hadayu na ƙonawa da kuma hadayu na hatsi, ba zan karɓa ba. Ko da kun kawo zaɓaɓɓun hadayu na zumunta, ba zan ɗauke su a bakin kome ba.
Even if you give me your burned offerings and your meal offerings, I will not take pleasure in them: I will have nothing to do with the peace-offerings of your fat beasts.
23 Ku tashi daga nan da surutan waƙoƙinku! Ba zan saurari kaɗe-kaɗe da bushe bushenku ba.
Take away from me the noise of your songs; my ears are shut to the melody of your instruments.
24 Amma bari gaskiya ta kwararo kamar kogi, adalci kuma kamar rafin da ba ya taɓa bushewa!
But let the right go rolling on like waters, and righteousness like an ever-flowing stream.
25 “Kun kawo mini hadayu da sadakoki shekaru arba’in a cikin jeji, ya ku gidan Isra’ila?
Did you come to me with offerings of beasts and meal offerings in the waste land for forty years, O Israel?
26 Kun ɗaga masujadar sarkinku, siffofin gumakanku, tauraron allahnku, wanda kuka yi wa kanku.
Truly, you will take up Saccuth your king and Kaiwan your images, the star of your god, which you made for yourselves.
27 Saboda haka zan tura ku zaman bauta gaba da Damaskus,” in ji Ubangiji, wanda sunansa ne Allah Mai Iko.
And I will send you away as prisoners farther than Damascus, says the Lord, whose name is the God of armies.
