Amos 5
1 Ku ji wannan magana, ya gidan Isra’ila, ina makokin nan dominku.
Hear this word, a lamentation, which I take up against you, O house 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 is fallen; she shall no more arise: she is cast down upon her land; there is none to raise her up.
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 thus saith the Lord Jehovah: The city that went forth a thousand shall have a hundred left, and that which went forth a hundred shall have ten left, for the house of Israel.
4 Ga abin da Ubangiji ya ce wa gidan Isra’ila. “Ku neme ni ku rayu;
For thus saith Jehovah unto the house of Israel: Seek ye me, and ye shall live.
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.”
And seek not Bethel, neither go to Gilgal, and pass not to Beer-sheba; for Gilgal shall surely go into captivity, and Bethel shall come to nought.
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.
Seek Jehovah, and ye shall live; lest he break out like fire in the house of Joseph, and devour [it], and there be none to quench [it] in Bethel.
7 Ku ne masu mai da gaskiya ta koma ɗaci ku kuma zubar da adalci.
Ye who turn judgment to wormwood, and cast 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,
[seek him] that made the Pleiades and Orion, and turneth the shadow of death into the morning, and maketh the day dark with night; that calleth for the waters of the sea, and poureth them out upon the face of the earth: Jehovah is his name.
9 yakan kawo hallaka a mafaka mai ƙarfi yakan kuma mai da birnin mai katanga ya zama kufai).
He causeth destruction to break forth suddenly upon the strong, and bringeth destruction upon the fortress.
10 Ba ku son mai yin gaskiya a ɗakin shari’a kuna ƙin mai faɗar gaskiya.
They hate him that reproveth in the gate, and they abhor him that speaketh uprightly.
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.
Forasmuch, therefore, as ye trample upon the poor, and take from him presents of wheat: ye have built houses of hewn stone, but ye shall not dwell in them; ye have planted pleasant vineyards, and ye shall not drink the wine of them.
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 know how manifold are your transgressions and your sins mighty: they afflict the just, they take a bribe, and they turn aside [the right of] the needy in the gate.
13 Saboda haka mai hankali yakan yi shiru a lokuta kamar haka, gama lokutan mugaye ne.
Therefore the prudent shall keep silence in this 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.
Seek good, and not evil, that ye may live; and so Jehovah, the God of hosts, shall be with you, as ye 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.
Hate evil, and love good, and establish judgment in the gate: it may be that Jehovah, the God of hosts, will be gracious unto the remnant 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.
Therefore thus saith Jehovah, the God of hosts, the Lord: Wailing shall be in all broadways; and they shall say in all the streets, Alas! alas! And they shall call the husbandman to mourning, and such as are skilful of lamentation to wailing.
17 Za a yi kuka a dukan gonakin inabi, gama zan ratsa a cikinku,” in ji Ubangiji.
And in all vineyards shall be wailing; for I will pass through the midst of thee, saith Jehovah.
18 Kaitonku masu son ganin ranar Ubangiji! Don me kuke son ganin ranar Ubangiji? Za a duhunta ranan nan, ba haske ba.
Woe unto you that desire the day of Jehovah! To what end is the day of Jehovah for you? It shall be darkness 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 fled from a lion, and a bear met him; or went into the house and leaned his hand on the wall, and a serpent bit him.
20 Ashe, ranar Ubangiji ba duhu ba ce, a maimakon haske, duhu wuluk, ba tare da ko ɗan haske ba.
Shall not the day of Jehovah be darkness, and not light? even very dark, and no brightness in it?
21 “Na ƙi, ina kuma ƙyamar bukukkuwanku na addini; ba na son ganin tarurrukanku.
I hate, I despise your feasts, and I will not smell [a sweet odour] in your solemn assemblies.
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.
For if ye offer up unto me burnt-offerings and your oblations, I will not accept [them]; neither will I regard the peace-offerings of your fatted 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 thy songs, and I will not hear the melody of thy lutes;
24 Amma bari gaskiya ta kwararo kamar kogi, adalci kuma kamar rafin da ba ya taɓa bushewa!
but let judgment roll down as waters, and righteousness as an ever-flowing stream.
25 “Kun kawo mini hadayu da sadakoki shekaru arba’in a cikin jeji, ya ku gidan Isra’ila?
Did ye bring unto me sacrifices and oblations in the wilderness forty years, O house of Israel?
26 Kun ɗaga masujadar sarkinku, siffofin gumakanku, tauraron allahnku, wanda kuka yi wa kanku.
Yea, ye took up the tabernacle of your Moloch, and Chiun your images, the star of your god, which ye had made to yourselves;
27 Saboda haka zan tura ku zaman bauta gaba da Damaskus,” in ji Ubangiji, wanda sunansa ne Allah Mai Iko.
and I will cause you to go into captivity beyond Damascus, saith Jehovah, whose name is the God of hosts.
