Nanku engakutshengiswa nguThixo Wobukhosi: Wayelungisa imitshitshi yezintethe emva kokuvunwa kwesabelo senkosi khonapho amabele esibili esakhula.
2 Hagi ana ava'na gnazama kofina kenumo'za mikozana ne'za eri vaganerazage'na nege'na, amanage hu'na hu'noe, Hankavenentake Ra Anumzamoka muse hugantoanki kumitia atrerantenka tagu'vazio. Anama osnanketa Israeli vahera osi'a vahe mani'nonankita omanita vagaregahune.
Kwathi lapho ilizwe seziliphundlile, ngamemeza ngathi, “Thixo Wobukhosi, thethelela! UJakhobe angaphepha kanjani? Mncinyane kakhulu!”
3 Hagi Ra Anumzamo'a antahi'zama'a rukrahe nehuno, retro'ma hu'noa zana osugahue huno hu'ne.
Ngakho uthixo waxola. “Akusoze kwenzakale” watsho uthixo.
4 Hagi Hankavenentake Ra Anumzamo'a ete mago'ane mago ava'nagnaza naveri hu'ne. Hagi nagra koana, Agra vahe'a tevereti zamahe hana hunaku teve retro hunte'nege'na ke'noe. Hagi ana tevemo'a hagerina teno eri vaganereno, hozama ante mopanena tevagare'ne.
Nanku engakutshengiswa nguThixo Wobukhosi: uThixo Wobukhosi wayememezela ukwehlulela ngomlilo; womisa ulwandle waqothula lelizwe.
5 Anante nagra hu'na, Hanavenentake Ra Anumzamoka muse hugantoanki tevea atregeno omeno. Tagra Israeli vahera osi'a vahe mani'nonkeno, hanavetia omaneneanki tataro hu'na hu'noe.
Ngakho ngamemeza ngathi “Thixo Wobukhosi, ngiyakuncenga, ake ume! UJakhobe angaphepha kanjani na? Mncinyane kakhulu!”
6 Anage hugeno Ra Anumzamo'a antahintahi'a rukrahe nehuno, anara osugahue huno hu'ne.
Ngakho uThixo waxola. “Lokhu lakho akuyikwenzakala,” kwatsho uThixo Wobukhosi.
7 Anantera ete mago'ane Ra Anumzamo'a ava'nagnaza naveri hige'na koana, noma eri fatgoma nehaza nofi'ma aenima rente'naza nofi (plumb line) Ra Anumzamo'a azampina eri'neno, ana nofiteti'ma ante'za nege'za hu'naza kegina tava'onte oti'neno ana keginamo'ma fatgoma hu'nenigu anteno ke'ne.
Nanku angitshengisa khona: uThixo wayemi phansi komduli owawakhiwe waqonda nta ephethe intambo yokuqondisa ngesandla sakhe
8 Hagi Agra amanage huno nantahige'ne, Amosiga na'a negane? Hige'na nagra kenona hu'na, Nomofo mesarimima nehaza nofire hugeno, Ra Anumzamo'a keno'a hunanteno, Nagra vaheni'a amanahukna hu'na mesarimi hu'na ante fatgo hu'na koankina, zamagra fatgoa osu'nazagu kumizmia atre ozmantegahue hu'ne.
UThixo wasengibuza esithi, “Kuyini okubonayo, Amosi?” Ngaphendula ngathi, “Yintambo yokuqondisa.” UThixo wasesithi, “Khangela, ngibeka intambo yokuqondisa phakathi kwabantu bami bako-Israyeli; kangisayikubaxolela futhi.
9 Hagi Aisaki negeho'zama agonaramimpima havi anumzante'ma mono'ma hunentaza kumatamina eme eri haviza nehu'za, Israeli vahe'mo'zama havi anumzante'ma mono nehaza nonena eri haviza hugahaze. Hagi kini ne' Jeroboamune vahe'anena bainati kazinteti zamahegahaze.
Izindawo eziphakemeyo zika-Isaka zizadilizwa lezindawo ezingcwele zako-Israyeli zizachithwa; indlu kaJerobhowamu ngizayihlasela ngenkemba yami.”
10 Hagi Beteli kumateti pristi ne' Amazia'a amanage huno Israeli kini ne' Jeroboamuntega kea atrenteno, Amosi'a Israeli vahe amunompi manineno kagrira kahenagenka frigahane huno kasnampa kea nehie. Ana higu tagra agri kea ontahigahune. Na'ankure agra mopatimo'ma havizama hania kege nehie.
U-Amaziya umphristi waseBhetheli wathumela ilizwi kuJerobhowamu inkosi yako-Israyeli, wathi, “U-Amosi uceba okubi ngawe khona kanye phakathi kwako-Israyeli. Ilizwe lingeke limelane lawo wonke amazwi akhe.
11 Hagi Amosia huno, Jeroboamuna ahenefri'za Israeli vahera ama mopafintira zamavare'za ru moparega kina ome huzmantegahaze huno nehie.
Ngoba u-Amosi uthi: ‘UJerobhowamu uzakufa ngenkemba, njalo impela u-Israyeli uzathunjwa, asiwe khatshana kwelizwe lakibo.’”
12 Hagi Amazia'a amanage huno Amosina asami'ne, amafina kasnampa kea osunka atrenka Juda kaziga umani'nenka anantega kasnampa kea nehuge'za zagoa kamiho!
U-Amaziya wasesithi ku-Amosi, “Phuma, wena mboni! Buyela elizweni lakoJuda, usebenzele ukudla kwakho khonale wenze lokuphrofetha kwakho khonale.
13 Hagi ama kini ne' Jeroboamu'ma mono nehia kuma megeno, maka Israeli vahe'mo'zama mono'ma nehaza kuma amafina me'negu, kagra mago'anena ama Beteli kumapina kasnampa kea eme osuo.
Ungaphrofithi futhi eBhetheli, ngoba le yindawo yenkosi kanye lethempeli lombuso.”
14 Hige'na nagra Amosi'na kenona hunte'na, nagra kasnampa vahera omani'na, kasnampa eri'zama eri'zana rempi hu'na ontahi'noanki, nagra sipisipi kegava nehu'na fiki zafane kegava nehua ne' mani'noe.
U-Amosi waphendula u-Amaziya wathi, “Mina ngangingasuye mphrofethi kumbe indodana yomphrofethi, kodwa ngangingumelusi, njalo ngigcina izihlahla zomkhiwa wesikhamore.
15 Hianagi Ra Anumzamo'a ana sipisipima kegava nehua eri'zampintira nagi huno amanage hu'ne, Vunka Israeli vaheni'a kasnampa kea ome zamasamio huno hunante'ne.
Kodwa uThixo wangithatha ekweluseni imihlambi yezimvu wathi kimi, ‘Hamba uyephrofetha ebantwini bami bako-Israyeli.’
16 Hagi Ra Anumzamo'ma hiankea kagra antahio, kagra hunka, Israeli vahepina kasnampa kea eme nosunka, Aisaki agehe'ina zamazeri haviza hugahaze nanekea eme osuo nehane.
Ngakho-ke khathesi zwana ilizwi likaThixo. Wena uthi: ‘Ungaphrofethi kubi ngo-Israyeli, njalo yekela ukutshumayela kubi ngendlela ka-Isaka.’
17 Hianagi Ra Anumzamo'a amanage huno Amaziagagura hianki antahio, A'kamo'a ama rankumapi savri huno monkote huno vano hanigeno, bainati kazinteti ne'mofaka'a zamahe fri vaganere'za mopaka'a refko huza eri vagaregahaze. Ana hanagenka kagra rurega vahe mopafi ufrigahane. Hagi Israeli vahe'mo'za mopazmia atre'za rurega kina ome hu'za mani'neza anantega frigahaze.
Ngakho-ke nanku okutshiwo nguThixo: ‘Umkakho uzakuba yisifebe edolobheni, amadoda lamadodakazi akho azakufa ngenkemba. Ilizwe lakho lizalinganiswa labiwe, njalo wena ngokwakho uzafela elizweni lamaqaba. Njalo impela u-Israyeli uzathunjwa asiwe khatshana kwelizwe lakhe.’”
