U-Amosi 6
1 Maye kubo abonwabileyo eZiyoni, labavikelekileyo entabeni yeSamariya, abakhethekileyo bokuqala bezizwe, abaya kubo abendlu kaIsrayeli!
Woe to! the [people] at ease in Zion and those [who] trust in [the] mountain of Samaria [the] distinguished [people] of [the] first of the nations and they will come to them [the] house of Israel.
2 Dlulelani eKaline, libone, lisuke lapho liye eHamathi enkulu, lehlele eGathi yamaFilisti. Bangcono yini kulalimibuso? Umngcele wabo mkhulu yini kulomngcele wenu?
Pass over Calneh and see and go from there Hamath-Rabbah and go down Gath of [the] Philistines ¿ [are they] good more than the kingdoms these or? great [is] territory their more than territory your.
3 Lina elibeka khatshana usuku olubi, lisondeza eduze isihlalo sodlakela.
Those [who] push away a day evil and you have brought near! a seat of violence.
4 Labo abalala phezu kwemibheda yophondo lwendlovu, bacambalale phezu kwamathala abo, badle amawundlu avela emhlanjini, lamankonyana avela phakathi kwesibaya;
Those [who] lie on beds of ivory and [people] sprawled out on couches their and [those who] eat lambs from [the] flock and calves from [the] midst of [the] stall.
5 abatshotsha ngokukhala kwechacho, beziqambela izinto zokukhaliswa, njengoDavida;
Those [who] improvise on [the] mouth of the lyre like David they have devised for themselves instruments of song.
6 benatha iwayini ngemiganu, bazigcobe ngamagcobo akhethekileyo, kodwa kabadabukeli ukuchitheka kukaJosefa.
Those [who] drink in bowls of wine and [the] best of oils they smear and not they were sickened on [the] ruin of (Joseph *L(abh)*)
7 Ngakho khathesi bazakuya ekuthunjweni labakuqala abaya ekuthunjweni, ledili labacambalalayo lizasuswa.
therefore now they will go into exile at [the] head of [those who] go into exile and it will come to an end [the] revelry of sprawled out [people].
8 INkosi uJehova ifungile ngayo uqobo, itsho iNkosi uNkulunkulu wamabandla: Ngiyakwenyanya ukuziqhenya kukaJakobe, ngizonda izigodlo zakhe; ngakho ngizawunikela umuzi lokugcwala kwawo.
He has sworn [the] Lord Yahweh by self his [the] utterance of Yahweh God of hosts [am] loathing I [the] pride of Jacob and fortresses his I hate and I will deliver up [the] city and what fills it.
9 Kuzakuthi-ke uba kusele amadoda alitshumi endlini eyodwa, azakufa.
And it will be if they will remain ten men in a house one and they will die.
10 Njalo umalume womuntu uzamphakamisa, lalowo omtshisayo, ukukhupha amathambo endlini, abesesithi kosemaceleni endlu: Kusekhona yini olawe? Njalo uzakuthi: Kakho. Khona uzakuthi: Thula, ngoba kakusikokuqamba ibizo leNkosi.
And he will lift up him loved one his and [the one who] burns him to bring out bones from the house and he will say to [the one] who [is] in [the] innermost parts of the house ¿ still [is anyone] with you and he will say no and he will say hush! for not to bring to remembrance [the] name of Yahweh.
11 Ngoba khangela, iNkosi iyalaya, njalo izatshaya indlu enkulu ibe yizihlephu, lendlu encinyane ibe yizicucu.
For here! Yahweh [is] commanding and someone will strike the house great fragments and the house small rubble.
12 Amabhiza angagijima edwaleni yini? Umuntu angalima khona ngezinkabi yini? Ngoba liphendulele isahlulelo saba yinyongo, lesithelo sokulunga saba ngumhlonyane.
¿ Do they run! on the crag[s] horses or? does anyone plow with oxen for you have turned into poison justice and [the] fruit of righteousness into wormwood.
13 Lina elithokoza ngento engelutho, elithi: Kasizithathelanga izimpondo yini ngamandla ethu?
The joyful [people] to Lo Debar who say ¿ not by own strength our have we taken for ourselves Karnaim.
14 Ngoba khangelani, ngizalivusela, lina ndlu kaIsrayeli, itsho iNkosi uNkulunkulu wamabandla, isizwe, esizalihlupha kusukela ekungeneni kweHamathi kuze kube sesifuleni senkangala.
For here I [am] about to raise up on you O house of Israel [the] utterance of Yahweh [the] God of hosts a nation and they will oppress you from Lebo Hamath to [the] wadi of Arabah.
