U-Amosi 5
1 Zwanini lelilizwi engiliphakamisa phezu kwenu, isililo, ndlu kaIsrayeli.
Fanongo ki he lea ni, ʻoku ou ʻai kiate kimoutolu, ʻi he tangilāulau, ʻe fale ʻo ʻIsileli.
2 Intombi emsulwa yakoIsrayeli iwile, kayiyikuvuka futhi; ideliwe emhlabathini wayo, kakho oyivusayo.
“Kuo hinga ʻae taʻahine ʻa ʻIsileli, ʻe ʻikai te ne toetuʻu; kuo liʻaki ia ʻi hono fonua; ʻoku ʻikai ha taha ke toe fokotuʻu ia.”
3 Ngoba itsho njalo iNkosi uJehova: Umuzi ophuma labayinkulungwane uzasala labalikhulu, lophuma labalikhulu uzasala labalitshumi, kuyo indlu kaIsrayeli.
He ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova, ko e ʻOtua; “Ko e kolo naʻe ʻalu ai ʻae toko taha afe, ʻe toe pe ʻae toko teau, pea ko ia naʻe ʻalu ai ʻae toko teau, ʻe toe pe ʻae toko hongofulu, ki he fale ʻo ʻIsileli.
4 Ngoba itsho njalo iNkosi endlini kaIsrayeli: Ngidingani liphile.
Pea ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova ki he fale ʻo ʻIsileli, “Kumi kiate au, pea te mou moʻui:
5 Kodwa lingadingi iBhetheli, lingangeni eGiligali, lingedluleli eBherishebha, ngoba iGiligali izathunjwa lokuthunjwa, leBhetheli izakuba yize.
Kaeʻoua naʻa kumi ʻa Peteli, pe hū ki Kilikali, pea ʻoua naʻa laka ki Peasipa: koeʻuhi ʻe ʻalu moʻoni ʻa Kilikali ke pōpula, pea ʻe hoko ʻa Peteli ko e meʻa noa pē.
6 Dingani iNkosi liphile, hlezi ifohlele indlu kaJosefa njengomlilo oqothulayo, kungabi khona owucitshayo eBhetheli.
Kumi kia Sihova, pea te mou moʻui telia naʻa hā mai ia, hangē ko e afi ʻi he fale ʻo Siosefa, pea ne keina ia, kae ʻikai ha taha ʻi Peteli ke fuʻifuʻi ia.
7 Lina eliphendula isahlulelo sibe ngumhlonyane, lilalise ukulunga emhlabathini.
Ko kimoutolu ʻoku liliu ʻae fakamaau ko e ʻakau kona, pea mou tuku ʻae angatonu ʻi he fonua,
8 Owenza isiLimela leziNja, lophendula umthunzi wokufa ube yikusa, lowenza imini ibe mnyama njengobusuku, obiza amanzi olwandle, awathulule ebusweni bomhlabathi; iNkosi libizo lakhe.
[Kumi ia ]naʻa ne ngaohi ʻae fetuʻu ʻe fitu mo ʻOlioni, pea ʻoku ne liliu ʻae ʻata ʻoe mate ko e pongipongi, pea ne ngaohi ʻae ʻaho ke poʻuli ʻi he pō: pea ʻoku ne ui ʻae ngaahi vai ʻoe tahi, pea ne lilingi ia ki he funga ʻoe fonua: ko Sihova hono huafa:
9 Okhazimulisa incithakalo phezu kolamandla, ukuze incithakalo ize phezu kwenqaba.
ʻOku ne fakamālohi ʻae vetekina ki he mālohi, koeʻuhi ke tauʻi ʻe he vetekina ʻae kolo.
10 Bayamzonda okhuzayo esangweni, banengwe ngokhuluma ngokuqonda.
ʻOku nau fehiʻa kiate ia ʻoku fai ʻae valoki ʻi he matapā, pea ʻoku nau fākaliliʻa kiate ia ʻoku lea ʻi he angatonu.
11 Ngenxa yokuthi linyathelela phansi umyanga, limthathele umthwalo wamabele, lakhe izindlu zamatshe abaziweyo, kodwa kaliyikuhlala kuzo; lihlanyele izivini zentokozo, kodwa kaliyikunatha iwayini lazo.
Koeʻuhi ko e meʻa ʻi hoʻomou malakiʻi ʻae kakai masiva, pea ʻoku mou toʻo meiate ia ʻae ngaahi kavenga uite: kuo mou langa ʻae ngaahi fale ʻaki ʻae maka kuo tā, ka ʻe ʻikai te mou nofo ai; kuo mou tō ʻae ngaahi ngoue vaine matamatalelei, ka ʻe ʻikai te mou inu uaine mei ai.
12 Ngoba ngiyazi ukuthi iziphambeko zenu zinengi, lokuthi izono zenu zilamandla; lina elihlupha olungileyo, elemukela isivalamlomo, eliphambula abayanga esangweni.
He ʻoku ou ʻilo hoʻomou ngaahi talangataʻa lahi, pea mo hoʻomou fungani angahala: ʻoku nau fakamamahiʻi ʻae angatonu, ʻoku nau maʻu tukungoue, pea ʻoku nau fakateketeke atu ʻae kakai masiva ʻi he matapā.
13 Ngakho ohlakaniphileyo uzathula ngalesosikhathi, ngoba kuyisikhathi esibi.
Ko ia ʻe longo ai ʻae fakapotopoto ʻi he kuonga ko ia; he ko e kuonga kovi.
14 Dingani okuhle, hatshi-ke okubi, ukuze liphile, ukuze ngokunjalo iNkosi uNkulunkulu wamabandla ibe lani, njengokutsho kwenu.
Kumi ʻae lelei, kae ʻikai ko e kovi, koeʻuhi ke mou moʻui: ko ia, ko Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻoe ngaahi tokolahi, te ne ʻiate kimoutolu, ʻo hangē ko hoʻomou lea.
15 Zondani ububi, lithande okuhle, limise isahlulelo esangweni; mhlawumbe iNkosi uNkulunkulu wamabandla ingaba lesisa kunsali yakoJosefa.
Fehiʻa ki he kovi, pea ʻofa ki he lelei, pea fokotuʻumaʻu ʻae fakamaau ʻi he matapā; heiʻilo pe ʻe ʻaloʻofa ʻa Sihova, ko e ʻOtua ʻoe ngaahi kautau, ki he toenga ʻo Siosefa.”
16 Ngakho utsho njalo uJehova, uNkulunkulu wamabandla, iNkosi: Kuzakuba khona isililo emidangeni yonke, lakuzo zonke izitalada bazakuthi: Maye! Maye! Njalo bazabizela umlimi ekulileni, lesililo sizakuba labazi ukulila.
Ko ia ko Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻoe ngaahi kautau, ko e ʻEiki, ʻoku pehē, “ʻE ʻi ai ʻae tangi ʻi he ngaahi hala kotoa pē; pea te nau pehē ʻi he ngaahi hala motuʻa kotoa pē, ‘ʻOiauē! ʻOiauē!’ Pea te nau ui ʻae tangata ngoue ki he tangi, pea mo kinautolu ʻoku poto ʻi he tangilāulau ke fai ʻae tangi.
17 Lakuzo zonke izivini kuzakuba lokulila, ngoba ngizadabula phakathi kwenu, itsho iNkosi.
Pea ʻe ʻi ai ʻae tangi ʻi he ngoue vaine kotoa pē: he te u laka mai ʻiate koe,” ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova.
18 Maye kulabo abaloyisa usuku lweNkosi! Luzakuba ngolwani kini usuku lweNkosi? Luzakuba ngumnyama, hatshi ukukhanya.
“Malaʻia kiate kimoutolu ʻoku holi ki he ʻaho ʻo Sihova! He koeʻumaʻā ia kiate kimoutolu? Ko e ʻaho ʻo Sihova kuo poʻuli, kae ʻikai maama.
19 Kunjengomuntu obaleke phambi kwesilwane, ahlangane lebhere; loba angene endlini abambelele ngesandla sakhe emdulini, lenyoka imlume.
Hangē ko e tangata ʻoku hola mei he laione, pea ʻoku ne fakafetaulaki mo ha pea; pe ko ha taha ne hū ki fale, pea ne faʻaki hono nima ki he holisi, ka naʻe ʻuusi ia ʻe ha ngata.
20 Usuku lweNkosi kaluyikuba ngumnyama yini, hatshi-ke ukukhanya, lomnyama omkhulu ongelakukhanya kuwo?
ʻIkai ʻe poʻuli ʻae ʻaho ʻo Sihova, pea ʻikai maama? ʻIo, ko e poʻuli ʻaupito, ka ʻe ʻikai ʻi ai ha maama siʻi ke ulo?
21 Ngiyayizonda, ngiyayidelela imikhosi yenu, kangiyikunuka emihlanganweni yenu enzulu.
“ʻOku ou fehiʻa, ʻoku ou fakaliliʻa ki homou ngaahi ʻaho kātoanga, pea ʻe ʻikai te u nanamu ki hoʻomou ngaahi fakataha mamafa.
22 Ngoba lanxa linikela kimi iminikelo yokutshiswa leminikelo yenu yokudla, kangithokozi, leminikelo yokuthula yezifuyo zenu ezinonileyo kangiyinanzi.
Neongo ʻoku mou hifo ʻaki ʻae ngaahi feilaulau tutu mo e ngaahi feilaulau meʻakai, ʻe ʻikai te u maʻu ia: pea ʻe ʻikai te u tokangaʻi ʻae ngaahi feilaulau fakalelei ʻo hoʻomou fanga manu sino.
23 Susani kimi umsindo wezingoma zenu, ngoba kangiyikuzwa ukukhala kwamachacho enu.
Hiki ke mamaʻo ʻiate au ʻae longoaʻa ʻo hoʻomou hiva; he ʻe ʻikai te u fanongo ki he mālie ʻo hoʻomou ngaahi meʻa faiva.
24 Kodwa isahlulelo kasikhukhule njengamanzi, lokulunga njengesifula esigeleza njalo.
Ka ʻe tuku ʻae fakamaau ke tafe hangē ko e vai, pea mo e angatonu hangē ko e vaitafe mālohi.
25 Lanikela yini kimi imihlatshelo leminikelo yokudla enkangala okweminyaka engamatshumi amane, lina ndlu kaIsrayeli?
“Kuo mou hifo ʻaki ʻae ngaahi feilaulau mo e ngaahi hifo kiate au, ʻi he taʻu ʻe fāngofulu ʻi he toafa, ʻe fale ʻo ʻIsileli?
26 Kodwa lathwala uSikuthi inkosi yenu, loKhiwuni izithombe zenu, inkanyezi kankulunkulu wenu, elizenzele zona.
Ka kuo mou fua ʻae fale fehikitaki ʻo homou Moloke mo Kiuni, ko hoʻomou ongo tamapua, ko e fetuʻu ʻo homou ʻotua, ʻaia naʻa mou ngaohi moʻomoutolu.
27 Ngakho ngizalithumbela ngaphetsheya kweDamaseko, itsho iNkosi, obizo layo nguNkulunkulu wamabandla.
Ko ia te u pule ke mou ʻalu pōpula kituʻa Tamasikusi:” ʻoku pehē ʻa Sihova, ʻaia ko hono huafa, ko e ʻOtua ʻoe ngaahi kautau.
