Amos 5
1 Ku ji wannan magana, ya gidan Isra’ila, ina makokin nan dominku.
Listen to the words of the funeral song I am singing for you, Israel:
2 “Budurwa Isra’ila ta fāɗi, ba za tă ƙara tashi ba, an yashe ta a ƙasarta, ba wanda zai ɗaga ta.”
Fallen, no more to rise, is the virgin Israel! Hurled down upon her own soil she lies, with no one to lift 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 the Lord God says this: The city that marches out with a thousand soldiers has only a hundred left, and the one that marches out with a hundred has only ten left.
4 Ga abin da Ubangiji ya ce wa gidan Isra’ila. “Ku neme ni ku rayu;
For the Lord says this to Israel: Seek me and 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.”
But do not seek Bethel, do not enter Gilgal, do not go over to Beer-sheba. For Gilgal will enter exile, and Bethel will go to destruction.
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 the Lord and live, or he will cast fire on the house of Joseph, and it will devour and there will be no one to quench it for Bethel.
7 Ku ne masu mai da gaskiya ta koma ɗaci ku kuma zubar da adalci.
You who turn judgment to bitter wormwood, and cast righteousness into the dirt:
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,
He who made the Pleiades and Orion, who turns deep darkness into dawn, who darkens day again into night, who summons the waters of the sea, and pours them out on the earth’s surface, the Lord is his name!
9 yakan kawo hallaka a mafaka mai ƙarfi yakan kuma mai da birnin mai katanga ya zama kufai).
He causes destruction to burst over the strong. He brings devastation on the fortress.
10 Ba ku son mai yin gaskiya a ɗakin shari’a kuna ƙin mai faɗar gaskiya.
You who hate the arbiters at the city gate, and abhor anyone who speaks the truth:
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.
Because you trample on the weak, and tax their grain, although you have built houses of hewn stone, you will not live in them, although you have planted charming vineyards, you will not drink their 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 know how many are your crimes, and how great are your sins! You persecutors of the righteous, takers of bribes! You deny the poor their justice at the city gate.
13 Saboda haka mai hankali yakan yi shiru a lokuta kamar haka, gama lokutan mugaye ne.
It would be wise to keep quiet in such 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 you may live, so the Lord, God of hosts, may be with you, as you have claimed he is.
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, establish justice at the city gate. Perhaps the Lord, the God of hosts, will be gracious to a surviving 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 the Lord, the God of hosts, says: In all the public squares there will be wailing, in every street the sound of mourning. They will summon the farmers to mourning, and professional mourners to wailing.
17 Za a yi kuka a dukan gonakin inabi, gama zan ratsa a cikinku,” in ji Ubangiji.
In all vineyards there will be lamenting, when I pass through your midst, 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.
Fools who long for the day of the Lord! What does the day of the Lord mean to you? It is 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.
It is as when one flees from a lion, and is attacked by a bear, as when one reaches home, leans his hand on the wall, and a snake bites him.
20 Ashe, ranar Ubangiji ba duhu ba ce, a maimakon haske, duhu wuluk, ba tare da ko ɗan haske ba.
Won’t the Lord’s day be darkness and not light, murky darkness without a ray of light in it?
21 “Na ƙi, ina kuma ƙyamar bukukkuwanku na addini; ba na son ganin tarurrukanku.
I hate, I despise your feasts, I will not smell the savor of your festivals,
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.
I will not be pleased with your burnt offerings, your grain offerings, I will not accept the peace offerings of your fattened calves.
23 Ku tashi daga nan da surutan waƙoƙinku! Ba zan saurari kaɗe-kaɗe da bushe bushenku ba.
Spare me the noise of your songs, I will not listen to the melody of your lyres.
24 Amma bari gaskiya ta kwararo kamar kogi, adalci kuma kamar rafin da ba ya taɓa bushewa!
But let justice roll on as a flood of waters, and righteousness like an unfailing stream.
25 “Kun kawo mini hadayu da sadakoki shekaru arba’in a cikin jeji, ya ku gidan Isra’ila?
Was it only sacrifices and grain offerings you brought me during the forty years in the wilderness, Israel?
26 Kun ɗaga masujadar sarkinku, siffofin gumakanku, tauraron allahnku, wanda kuka yi wa kanku.
But now you will lift up your “king” Sikkuth and “star god” Kiyyun, your idols which you have made for yourselves,
27 Saboda haka zan tura ku zaman bauta gaba da Damaskus,” in ji Ubangiji, wanda sunansa ne Allah Mai Iko.
as I drive you into exile beyond Damascus, says the Lord, whose name is the God of hosts.
