Esiae nye nu si Aƒetɔ Yehowa ɖe fiam le ŋutega me: Yehowa le ʋetsuviwo ƒe ha gã drinya aɖe dɔm ɖa be woava aɖu kelemenukuwo. Esia ava eme ne woxe nuku gbãtɔwo ƒe adzɔ na fia la vɔ megbe.
2 Kwasekusithi lapho sesiqedile ukudla utshani belizwe, ngathi: Nkosi Jehova, ake uthethelele. UJakobe uzakuma njani? ngoba emncinyane.
Esi ʋetsuviawo ɖu nukuawo keŋkeŋ vɔ la, medo ɣli be, “O Aƒetɔ Mawu, meɖe kuku, tsɔe ke dzro. Aleke Yakob ate ŋu anɔ te, elabena enye dukɔ sue aɖe ko?”
3 INkosi yazisola ngalokhu; kakuyikwenzeka, itsho iNkosi.
Ale Yehowa ɖe asi le susu si wòɖo la ŋuti. Eye Yehowa gblɔ be, “Esia mava eme o.”
4 INkosi uJehova yangibonisa kanje; khangela-ke, iNkosi uJehova yabiza ukulwa ngomlilo, owaqothula ukujula okukhulu waqothula isabelo.
Esiae nye nu si Aƒetɔ Yehowa ɖe fiam: Aƒetɔ Mawu yɔ dzo be wòadza, eye dzo la bi tɔsisi goglowo, eye wòfia anyigba la katã.
5 Ngasengisithi: Nkosi Jehova, ake ume. UJakobe uzakuma njani? ngoba emncinyane.
Ale megblɔ nɛ be, “O Aƒetɔ Mawu, meɖe kuku mègawɔe o, elabena dukɔ sue aɖe ko wònye!” Aleke Yakob ate ŋu anɔ tee?
6 INkosi yazisola ngalokhu. Lalokhu kakuyikwenzeka, itsho iNkosi uJehova.
Ale Aƒetɔ Yehowa ɖe asi le susu sia hã ŋuti, Eye wògblɔ nam be, “Esia mava eme o.”
7 Yangibonisa kanje; khangela-ke, iNkosi yayimi emdulini owenziwa njengokwentambo yokuqondisa; kwakulentambo yokuqondisa esandleni sayo.
Emegbe la, egaɖe nu sia fiam: Aƒetɔ la le tsi tsitre ɖe gli si woɖo, wòdzɔ kã la xa, eye glidzidzenu le esi.
8 INkosi yasisithi kimi: Ubonani, Amosi? Ngathi: Intambo yokuqondisa. INkosi yasisithi: Khangela, ngizabeka intambo yokuqondisa phakathi kwabantu bami uIsrayeli; kangisayikubedlula futhi.
Aƒetɔ la biam be, “Amos, nu ka nèkpɔ?” Meɖo eŋuti be, “Glidzidzenu.” Yehowa gayi dzi be, “Kpɔ ɖa, metsɔ glidzidzenu ɖo nye dukɔ, Israel titina. Nyemagatsɔe ake wo azɔ o.
9 Kodwa indawo eziphakemeyo zikaIsaka zizakuba ngamanxiwa, lezindawo ezingcwele zakoIsrayeli zizadilizwa; ngiyivukele indlu kaJerobowamu ngenkemba.
“Woagbã Isak ƒe nuxeƒewo, Israel ƒe Kɔkɔeƒewo azu aƒedo, eye matso ɖe Yeroboam ƒe aƒe la ŋu kple yi.”
10 UAmaziya umpristi weBhetheli wasethumela kuJerobhowamu inkosi yakoIsrayeli, esithi: UAmosi wenze ugobe emelene lawe phakathi kwendlu kaIsrayeli; ilizwe kalilakuwathwala wonke amazwi akhe.
Ke esi Amazia, nunɔla si le Betel se nya siwo gblɔm Amos le la, eɖo du ɖe Israel fia Yeroboam kaba be, “Amos le nugbe ɖom ɖe ŋutiwò le Israel dukɔ la titina. Amewo mate ŋu atsɔ nya siwo katã gblɔm wòle la o.
11 Ngoba utsho njalo uAmosi: UJerobhowamu uzakufa ngenkemba, loIsrayeli athunjwe lokuthunjwa aphume elizweni lakhe.
Amos le gbɔgblɔm be, “‘Yeroboam atsi yi nu eye woaɖe aboyo Israel, akplɔe tso eƒe denyigba dzi.’”
12 UAmaziya wasesithi kuAmosi: Wena mboni, hamba ubalekele elizweni lakoJuda, lapho udle isinkwa khona, lalapho uprofethe.
Amazia ɖo ame dɔdɔwo ɖe Amos be, “Wò, nyagblɔɖila, do go le afi sia! Si nàyi ɖe Yudanyigba dzi, eye nàgblɔ nya ɖi le afi ma be nàkpɔ abolo aɖu.
13 Kodwa eBhetheli ungabe usaprofetha futhi, ngoba iyindawo engcwele yenkosi njalo iyindlu yombuso.
Mègava ɖe fu na mí kple wò ŋutegakpɔkpɔ ƒe nyawo le Betel, míaƒe toxɔdu, afi si fiaɖuƒe la ƒe gbedoxɔ le o!”
14 UAmosi wasephendula wathi kuAmaziya: Ngangingasumprofethi mina, futhi ngangingasindodana yomprofethi mina; kodwa ngangingumelusi wenkomo, lomvuni wemikhiwa yesikhamore.
Amos ɖo eŋu ɖo ɖe Amazia be, “Menye nyagblɔɖilawo dometɔ ɖekae menye o. Nyemetso nyagblɔɖilawo ƒe ƒome me o. Nye la, lãnyila kple atikutsetsewo fɔla ko menye,
15 Kodwa iNkosi yangithatha ekulandeleni umhlambi, iNkosi yathi kimi: Hamba uyeprofetha ebantwini bami uIsrayeli.
gake Yehowa yɔm tso lãnyilawo dome gblɔ nam be, ‘Yi nàgblɔ nya ɖi na nye dukɔ Israel.’
16 Ngakho-ke zwana ilizwi leNkosi. Wena uthi: Ungaprofethi umelene loIsrayeli, ungatshumayeli umelene lendlu kaIsaka.
Azɔ ɖo to nàse gbedeasi sia, si tso Yehowa gbɔ na wò. Ègblɔ be, “‘Mègagblɔ nya ɖi ɖe Israel ŋuti o, eye mègagblɔ Mawu ƒe nya tsi tsitre ɖe Isak ƒe aƒe ŋu o.’
17 Ngakho itsho njalo iNkosi: Umkakho uzawula phakathi komuzi, lamadodana akho lamadodakazi akho azakuwa ngenkemba, lelizwe lakini lizakwabiwa ngentambo, wena-ke uzafela elizweni elingcolileyo, loIsrayeli athunjwe lokuthunjwa aphume elizweni lakhe.
“Aleae nye Yehowa ƒe ŋuɖoɖo na wò, “‘Esime nètsi tsitre ɖe nyagblɔɖiawo ŋuti ta la, srɔ̃wò azu gbolo le du sia me, woawu viwò ŋutsuwo kple nyɔnuwo kple yi; woatsɔ dzidzeka ama wò anyigbae. Wò ŋutɔ ya, àku ɖe dzronyigba dzi, eye Israelviwo azu kluviwo le aboyo me le anyigba aɖe si le didiƒe ke la dzi.’”
