< Amos 6 >
1 Taku ta ƙare, ku da kuke zaman sakewa a Sihiyona, da ku waɗanda kuke ji zama a Dutsen Samariya lafiya ne, ku manyan mutanen ƙasar da take sananniya, waɗanda mutanen Isra’ila suke zuwa!
Woe to those who are at ease in Zion, and to those who are secure in the mountain of Samaria, the notable men of the chief of the nations, to whom the house of Israel come!
2 Ku je Kalne ku dube ta; ku wuce daga can zuwa Hamat-rabba, sa’an nan ku gangara zuwa Gat a Filistiya. Sun fi masarautunku biyu ne? Ƙasarsu ta fi taku girma?
Pass ye to Calneh, and see, and from there go ye to Hamath the great, then go down to Gath of the Philistines. Are they better than these kingdoms? Or is their border greater than your border?
3 Kuna ƙoƙari ku kauce wa wannan muguwar rana kuna kuma jawo mulkin tashin hankali kusa.
Ye who put far away the evil day, and cause the seat of violence to come near,
4 Kuna kwanciya a kan gadajen da aka yi musu shimfiɗar hauren giwa kuna mimmiƙe a kan kujerunku. Kuna cin naman ƙibabbun raguna da na ƙosassun’yan maruƙa.
who lie upon beds of ivory, and stretch themselves upon their couches, and eat the lambs out of the flock, and the calves out of the midst of the stall,
5 Kuna kaɗa molayenku yadda Dawuda ya yi kuna ƙirƙiro waƙoƙi a kan kayan kaɗe-kaɗe.
who sing idle songs to the sound of the viol, who invent for themselves instruments of music, like David,
6 Da manyan kwanoni kuke shan ruwan inabi kuna kuma shafa mai mafi kyau, amma ba kwa baƙin ciki game da kangon da Yusuf ya zama.
who drink wine in bowls, and anoint themselves with the chief oils, but they are not grieved for the affliction of Joseph.
7 Saboda haka za ku zama na farkon da za su tafi zaman bauta; bukukkuwanku da shagulgulanku za su ƙare.
Therefore they shall now go captive with the first who go captive, and the revelry of those who stretched themselves shall pass away.
8 Ubangiji Mai Iko Duka da kansa ya rantse, Ubangiji Allah Maɗaukaki ya furta, “Ina ƙyamar girman kan Yaƙub, ba na kuma son kagarunsa; zan ba da birnin da duk abin da yake cikinta.”
The lord Jehovah has sworn by himself, says Jehovah, the God of hosts: I abhor the excellency of Jacob, and hate his palaces, therefore I will deliver up the city with all that is therein.
9 Ko da mutum goma ne suka ragu a gida guda, su ma za su mutu.
And it shall come to pass, if there remain ten men in one house, that they shall die.
10 In kuma wani dangi ya shiga don yă fitar da gawawwakin yă ƙone ya kuwa tambayi wani wanda yake ɓoye a can, yana cewa, “Akwai wani tare da kai?” Ya kuwa ce, “Babu,” sai yă ce, “Kul! Kada mu ambaci sunan Ubangiji.”
And when a man's uncle shall take him up, even he who burns him, to bring out the bones out of the house, and shall say to him who is in the innermost parts of the house, Is there yet any with thee? and he shall say, No, then he shall say, Hold thy peace, for we may not make mention of the name of Jehovah.
11 Gama Ubangiji ya ba da umarni, zai kuma ragargaza babban gidan nan kucu-kucu ƙaramin gidan kuwa zai yi rugu-rugu da shi.
For, behold, Jehovah commands, and the great house shall be smitten with breaches, and the little house with clefts.
12 Dawakai sukan yi gudu a kan duwatsu? Wani yana iya yin noma a teku da shanun noma? Amma ga shi kun mai da gaskiya ta zama dafi amfanin adalci kuma ya zama ɗaci,
Shall horses run upon the rock? Will a man plow there with oxen? That ye have turned justice into gall, and the fruit of righteousness into wormwood,
13 ku da kuke murna saboda an ci Lo Debar da yaƙi kuka kuma ce, “Ba da ƙarfinmu ne muka ƙwace Karnayim ba?”
ye who rejoice in a thing of nothing, who say, Have we not taken to us horns by our own strength?
14 Gama Ubangiji Allah Maɗaukaki ya ce, “Zan sa wata ƙasa ta tayar muku, ya ku gidan Isra’ila, wadda za tă matsa muku tun daga Lebo Hamat zuwa kwarin Araba.”
For, behold, I will raise up against you a nation, O house of Israel, says Jehovah, the God of hosts, and they shall afflict you from the entrance of Hamath to the brook of the Arabah.
