< U-Amosi 4 >

1 Zwanini ilizwi leli lina mankomokazi aseBhashani phezu kweNtaba iSamariya, lina besifazane elincindezela abayanga lichoboze abaswelayo beselisithi kubomkenu, “Siletheleni okunathwayo!”
Fanongo ki he lea, ʻakimoutolu ko e fanga pulu ʻa Pesani, ʻoku ʻi he ngaahi moʻunga ʻo Samēlia, ʻakimoutolu ʻoku fakamālohiʻi ʻae masiva, pea ʻoku taʻomia ai ʻae paea, ʻakimoutolu ʻoku mou pehē ki honau ngaahi ʻeiki, “ʻOmi, ka mau inu.”
2 UThixo Wobukhosi usefunge ngobungcwele bakhe wathi: “Isikhathi sizafika impela lapho elizathathwa khona ngewuka, owokucina wenu ngewuka yenhlanzi.
Kuo fuakava ki heʻene māʻoniʻoni ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua, ʻo pehē, “Vakai, ʻe hoko ʻae ngaahi ʻaho kiate kimoutolu ʻaia ʻe ʻave kimoutolu ʻaki ʻae ngaahi mātaʻu, pea mo homou hako ʻaki ʻae mātaʻu ika.
3 Lizaphuma ngamunye ngezikhala emdulini liqonde nta phandle, njalo lizalahlelwa ngaphandle ngokuya eHamoni,” kutsho uThixo.
Pea te mou ʻalu kituʻa ʻi he ngaahi ava, ʻae fanga pulu kotoa pē ki he meʻa ʻoku ʻi hono ʻao, pea te mou lī ʻakinautolu ki he fale fakaʻeiʻeiki,” ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova.
4 “Hambani eBhetheli liyekwenza isono; hambani eGiligali liyekwenza isono ngokudlulayo. Lethani imihlatshelo yenu nsuku zonke ekuseni lokwetshumi kwenu minyaka yonke emithathu.
“Haʻu ki Peteli, pea fai hala; ki Kilikali, pea fakalahi ʻae talangataʻa; pea ʻomi hoʻomou ngaahi feilaulau ʻi he pongipongi kotoa pē, mo hoʻomou fatongia lotu hili ʻae taʻu ʻe tolu;
5 Tshisani isinkwa esilemvubelo njengomnikelo wokubonga lintele ngeminikelo yenu yokuzithandela lizikhukhumeze ngayo, lina bako-Israyeli, ngoba lokhu yikho elithanda ukukwenza,” kutsho uThixo Wobukhosi.
Pea hifo ʻaki ʻae feilaulau fakafetaʻi mo e meʻa fakatapu, pea malangaʻaki mo fakahā ʻae ngaahi hifo mataʻataʻatā: he ʻoku mou manako ai, ʻe fānau ʻa ʻIsileli,” ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua.
6 “Ngalilethela indlala emadolobheni wonke lokusweleka kokudla emadolobheni wonke, kodwa kalibuyelanga kimi,” kutsho uThixo.
“Pea naʻaku tuku ʻae nifo maʻa kiate kimoutolu ʻi homou ngaahi kolo kotoa pē, pea mo e masiva mā ʻi homou ngaahi potu kotoa pē: ka naʻe ʻikai te mou tafoki kiate au,” ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova.
7 “Ngagodla izulu futhi kusasele inyanga ezintathu ukuba kuvunwe. Izulu ngalinisa kwelinye idolobho kodwa ngaligodla kwelinye. Enye insimu yaba lezulu, enye kayaze yaba lalo njalo yoma qha.
“Pea naʻaku taʻofi foki ʻae ʻuha meiate kimoutolu, ʻi he kei toe ʻae māhina ʻe tolu ki he ututaʻu: pea naʻaku pehē ke ʻuha ki he kolo ʻe taha, kae ʻikai ke ʻuha ki he kolo ʻe taha: naʻe ʻuha ki he potu ʻe taha, pea ko e potu naʻe ʻikai ke ʻuha ki ai ne mae ia.
8 Abantu babhadazela besuka kwelinye idolobho besiya kwelinye befuna amanzi kodwa kabawatholanga anele ukuba bakholwe, ikanti kalibuyelanga kimi,” kutsho uThixo.
Pea naʻe fononga ʻae kolo ʻe ua pe tolu ki he kolo ʻe taha, ke inu vai; ka naʻe ʻikai te nau fiu: ka naʻe ʻikai te mou tafoki kiate au,” ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova.
9 “Ezikhathini ezinengi ngahlasela izivande zenu lezivini zenu, ngizihlasela ngesona langengumane. Izintethe zadla imikhiwa yenu lezihlahla zenu zama-oliva, kodwa kalibuyelanga kimi,” kutsho uThixo.
“Kuo taaʻi ʻakimoutolu ʻaki ʻae mae mo e mahunu: ʻi he tupu ʻa hoʻomou ngoue, mo e ngoue vaine, mo e ʻakau ko e fiki mo e ʻolive, naʻe kai ia ʻe he ʻunufe maumau: ka naʻe ʻikai te mou tafoki kiate au,” ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova.
10 “Ngathumela izifo phakathi kwenu njengengakwenza kweleGibhithe. Ngabulala izinsizwa zenu ngenkemba ndawonye lamabhiza enu athunjwayo. Ngavimbanisa amakhala enu ngomnuko wezihonqo zenu, kodwa kalibuyelanga kimi,” kutsho uThixo.
“Kuo fekau kiate kimoutolu ʻae mahaki lahi ʻo hangē ko ʻIsipite: kuo tāmateʻi hoʻomou kau talavou ʻaki ʻae heletā, pea kuo ʻave hoʻomou fanga hoosi: pea kuo u ngaohi ke hoko ʻae namukū ʻoe nofoʻanga ʻo homou kau tau ki homou avaʻi ihu: ka naʻe ʻikai te mou tafoki kiate au,” ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova.
11 “Ngachitha abanye benu njengalokhu ngachitha iSodoma leGomora. Lalinjengesikhuni esitshayo esihluthunwe emlilweni, kodwa kalibuyelanga kimi,” kutsho uThixo.
“Kuo u fulihi hoʻomou niʻihi, hangē naʻe fulihi ʻe he ʻOtua ʻa Sotoma mo Komola, pea naʻa mou hangē ko e potupotuʻi afi kuo hamusi mei he vela: ka naʻe ʻikai te mou tafoki kiate au,” ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova.
12 “Ngakho-ke engizakwenza kuwe Israyeli yilokhu, njalo njengoba lokhu ngizakwenza kuwe, zilungisele ukuhlangana loNkulunkulu wakho, wena Israyeli.”
“Ko ia, ʻe pehē pe ʻa ʻeku fai kiate koe, ʻe ʻIsileli: pea koeʻuhi te u fai eni kiate koe, teuteu ke feʻiloaki mo ho ʻOtua, ʻe ʻIsileli.
13 Yena obumba izintaba, udala umoya, aveze lemicabango yakhe ebantwini, yena oguqula ukusa kube ngumnyama, anyathele lezindawo eziphakemeyo zomhlaba, uThixo uNkulunkulu uSomandla yilo ibizo lakhe.
Koeʻuhi, vakai, ko ia ia naʻe ngaohi ʻae ngaahi moʻunga, pea ne fakatupu ʻae matangi, pea ʻoku ne fakahā ki he tangata pe ko e hā ʻene mahalo, ʻoku ne ngaohi ʻae pongipongi ko e poʻuli, pea ʻoku ne malaki ʻae ngaahi potu māʻolunga ʻo māmani, Ko Sihova, ko e ʻOtua ʻoe ngaahi kautau ʻa hono huafa.”
