U-Amosi 4
1 Zwanini lelilizwi, mankomokazi eBashani, elisentabeni yeSamariya, elicindezela abayanga, elichoboza abaswelayo, elithi emakhosini abo: Lethani sinathe.
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 INkosi uJehova ifungile ngobungcwele bayo, ukuthi, khangelani, insuku zizafika phezu kwenu lapho abazalihudula ngezingwegwe, labalilandelayo ngengwegwe zokubamba inhlanzi.
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 Njalo lizaphuma ngezikhala, ngulowo lalowo phambi kwakhe, liziphosele ngasesigodlweni, itsho iNkosi.
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 Wozani eBhetheli, liphambeke, eGiligali landise iziphambeko; lilethe imihlatshelo yenu ekuseni, okwetshumi kwenu ngomnyaka wesithathu;
“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 litshise umhlatshelo wokubonga ngokuvutshelweyo, limemezele iminikelo yesihle, lizwakalise; ngoba ngokunjalo likuthanda, bantwana bakoIsrayeli, itsho iNkosi uJehova.
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 Ngakho mina ngilinikile futhi ukuhlanzeka kwamazinyo emizini yonke yenu, lenswelo yesinkwa endaweni zenu zonke; kanti kaliphendukelanga kimi, itsho iNkosi.
“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 Futhi-ke mina ngaligodlela izulu, kuseselenyanga ezintathu kusiya ekuvuneni; ngalinisa komunye umuzi, kodwa kalinanga komunye umuzi; esinye isiqinti sanethwa, kodwa isiqinti esinganethwanga satsha.
“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 Kwasekuzula imizi emibili loba emithathu yayanatha amanzi emzini owodwa, kodwa kayikholwanga; kanti kaliphendukelanga kimi, itsho iNkosi.
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 Ngalitshaya ngokuhanguka langengumane; ukwanda kwezivande zenu, lezivini zenu, lezihlahla zenu zemikhiwa, lezihlahla zenu zemihlwathi, kwadliwa zintethe; kanti kaliphendukelanga kimi, itsho iNkosi.
“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 phakathi kwenu umatshayabhuqe wesifo, ngokwendlela yeGibhithe, ngabulala amajaha enu ngenkemba, kanye lokuthunjwa kwamabhiza enu; njalo ngenza ivumba lenkamba yenu lenyuka ngitsho emakhaleni enu; kanti kaliphendukelanga kimi, itsho iNkosi.
“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 phakathi kwenu njengalokho uNkulunkulu wachitha iSodoma leGomora, lalinjengesikhuni esophulwe ekutsheni; kanti kaliphendukelanga kimi, itsho iNkosi.
“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 ngizakwenza ngokunjalo kuwe, Israyeli; ngenxa yokuthi ngizakwenza lokhu kuwe, zilungiselele ukuhlangana loNkulunkulu wakho, 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 Ngoba khangela, obumba izintaba, lodala umoya, lotshela umuntu ukuthi umcabango wakhe uyini, owenza ukusakube mnyama, onyathela ezindaweni eziphakemeyo zomhlaba, iNkosi, uNkulunkulu wamabandla, libizo 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.”
