< 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!
Terrible things will happen to you people in Jerusalem who are not worried about anything, and also to you leaders who live on Samaria Hill who think that you are safe. [You think that] [IRO] you are the most important people [in the world], people to whom Israeli people [MTY] go [to get help].
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?
But go to Calneh [city] and see [what happened there]. Then go to [see] the great [city] Hamath [and see what happened there]. Then go down to Gath [city] in Philistia [and see what happened to their city walls]. Your land/country is certainly not [RHQ] larger or more powerful than their countries were, [but they were all destroyed].
3 Kuna ƙoƙari ku kauce wa wannan muguwar rana kuna kuma jawo mulkin tashin hankali kusa.
You are trying to not think about a day when you will experience disasters, when [your enemies will come and] violently attack you.
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.
You lie on beds [decorated with expensive] ivory, and on [soft] couches. You eat [the tender meat of] lambs and fat calves.
5 Kuna kaɗa molayenku yadda Dawuda ya yi kuna ƙirƙiro waƙoƙi a kan kayan kaɗe-kaɗe.
You create/compose new songs and play them on your harps like [King] David did.
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.
You drink entire bowlfuls of wine and you put expensive oils/perfumes on your bodies, but you do not grieve about [your country of] Israel [MTY], which is about to be destroyed.
7 Saboda haka za ku zama na farkon da za su tafi zaman bauta; bukukkuwanku da shagulgulanku za su ƙare.
Your feasting and lounging [on soft couches] will soon end, and you will be among the first ones to be forced [by your enemies] to go (into exile/to another country).
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.”
Yahweh the Lord has solemnly declared this: “I hate the people of Israel because they are very proud; I detest their fortresses. I will enable [their enemies] to capture their [capital] city and everything in it.”
9 Ko da mutum goma ne suka ragu a gida guda, su ma za su mutu.
[When that happens, ] if there are ten people in one house, they will all 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.”
If a relative who (has the task of/is responsible for) burning their corpses comes to the house and inquires of anyone who is still hiding there, “Is there anyone here with you?”, and that person replies “No,” [the one who inquired] will say, “Be quiet! We must not mention the name of Yahweh, [lest he cause us also to be killed]!”
11 Gama Ubangiji ya ba da umarni, zai kuma ragargaza babban gidan nan kucu-kucu ƙaramin gidan kuwa zai yi rugu-rugu da shi.
[Terrible things like that will happen] because Yahweh has commanded that large houses [in Israel] must be smashed into pieces, and small houses must be smashed into tiny bits.
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,
Horses certainly do not [RHQ] run on big rocks, and certainly people do not [RHQ] plow the sea with oxen. But you have [done things that no one should do]: You have distorted what is fair/right and caused it to be considered like poison [MET]; you have changed what is right and consider it to be like things that are bitter.
13 ku da kuke murna saboda an ci Lo Debar da yaƙi kuka kuma ce, “Ba da ƙarfinmu ne muka ƙwace Karnayim ba?”
You are proud because you have captured Lo-Debar [town], and you have said, “We captured Karnaim by our own power!”
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.”
But the Commander of the armies of angels declares, “I will cause another nation to attack you people [MTY] of Israel; they will (oppress you/cause you to suffer) all the way from Hamath Pass [in the northwest] to the Dead Sea [in the southeast].”
