U-Amosi 7
1 INkosi uJehova yangibonisa kanje; khangela-ke, yabumba isikhonyane ekuqaleni kokuhluma kotshani bamuva, njalo khangela, kwakubutshani bamuva emva kokusika kwenkosi.
ʻOku pehē hono fakahā mai kiate au ʻe he ʻEiki ko e ʻOtua; pea vakai, naʻa ne ngaohi ʻae ngaahi heʻe ʻi he kamataʻanga ʻoe tupu hake ʻae taʻu tokamui; pea vakai, ko e tokamui ia hili ʻae tuʻusi maʻa e tuʻi.
2 Kwasekusithi lapho sesiqedile ukudla utshani belizwe, ngathi: Nkosi Jehova, ake uthethelele. UJakobe uzakuma njani? ngoba emncinyane.
Pea naʻe hoko, hili ʻenau kai ʻo ʻosi ʻae mohuku ʻoe fonua, pea ne u pehē, “ʻE Sihova ko e ʻOtua, ʻoku ou kole kiate koe, ke ke fakamolemole: ʻe toetuʻu ʻa Sēkope ia hai? He ʻoku siʻi ia.”
3 INkosi yazisola ngalokhu; kakuyikwenzeka, itsho iNkosi.
Naʻe fakatomala ʻa Sihova ʻi he meʻa ni: ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova, “ʻE ʻikai hoko ia.”
4 INkosi uJehova yangibonisa kanje; khangela-ke, iNkosi uJehova yabiza ukulwa ngomlilo, owaqothula ukujula okukhulu waqothula isabelo.
ʻOku pehē hono fakahā mai kiate au ʻe he ʻEiki ko e ʻOtua; pea vakai, naʻe ui ʻe he ʻEiki ko e ʻOtua ke tau ʻaki ʻae afi, pea naʻa ne kai ʻae moana lahi, pea ne folo ʻae vahe ʻe taha?
5 Ngasengisithi: Nkosi Jehova, ake ume. UJakobe uzakuma njani? ngoba emncinyane.
Pea naʻaku toki pehē, ʻE Sihova ko e ʻOtua, “ʻOku ou kole kiate koe ke tuku ʻā: ʻe toetuʻu ʻa Sēkope ʻia hai? He ʻoku siʻi ia.”
6 INkosi yazisola ngalokhu. Lalokhu kakuyikwenzeka, itsho iNkosi uJehova.
Naʻe fakatomala ʻa Sihova ʻi he meʻa ni: ʻoku pehē ʻe he ʻEiki ko e ʻOtua, “ʻE ʻikai hoko eni foki.”
7 Yangibonisa kanje; khangela-ke, iNkosi yayimi emdulini owenziwa njengokwentambo yokuqondisa; kwakulentambo yokuqondisa esandleni sayo.
Naʻe pehē ʻene fakahā mai ia kiate au: pea vakai, naʻe tuʻu ʻae ʻEiki ʻi he fukahi ʻā naʻe ngaohi ki he afo fuofua, pea naʻe ʻai ʻae afo fuofua ʻi hono nima.
8 INkosi yasisithi kimi: Ubonani, Amosi? Ngathi: Intambo yokuqondisa. INkosi yasisithi: Khangela, ngizabeka intambo yokuqondisa phakathi kwabantu bami uIsrayeli; kangisayikubedlula futhi.
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Sihova kiate au, “ʻAmosi, ko e hā ʻoku ke mamata ai?” Pea naʻaku pehē, “Ko e afo fuofua.” Pea ne pehē ʻe he ʻEiki, “Vakai, te u ʻai ʻae afo fuofua ki he lotolotonga ʻo hoku kakai ko ʻIsileli: ʻikai te u toe laka ʻiate kinautolu:
9 Kodwa indawo eziphakemeyo zikaIsaka zizakuba ngamanxiwa, lezindawo ezingcwele zakoIsrayeli zizadilizwa; ngiyivukele indlu kaJerobowamu ngenkemba.
Pea ʻe lala ʻae ngaahi potu māʻolunga ʻo ʻAisake, pea ʻe ngaongao ʻae ngaahi falelotu ʻo ʻIsileli; pea te u tuʻu hake mo e heletā ki he fale ʻo Selopoami.”
10 UAmaziya umpristi weBhetheli wasethumela kuJerobhowamu inkosi yakoIsrayeli, esithi: UAmosi wenze ugobe emelene lawe phakathi kwendlu kaIsrayeli; ilizwe kalilakuwathwala wonke amazwi akhe.
Pea ne toki fekau ʻe ʻAmasia ko e taulaʻeiki ʻi Peteli, kia Selopoami ko e tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli, ʻo pehē, “Kuo angatuʻu ʻa ʻAmosi kiate koe ʻi he lotolotonga ʻoe fale ʻo ʻIsileli: ʻe ʻikai faʻa kātaki ʻe he fonua ʻa ʻene ngaahi lea kotoa pē.
11 Ngoba utsho njalo uAmosi: UJerobhowamu uzakufa ngenkemba, loIsrayeli athunjwe lokuthunjwa aphume elizweni lakhe.
Koeʻuhi ʻoku pehē ʻe ʻAmosi, ‘ʻE mate ʻa Selopoami ʻi he heletā, pea ko e moʻoni ʻe taki pōpula ʻa ʻIsileli mei honau fonua ʻonautolu.’”
12 UAmaziya wasesithi kuAmosi: Wena mboni, hamba ubalekele elizweni lakoJuda, lapho udle isinkwa khona, lalapho uprofethe.
Pea ne pehē foki ʻe ʻAmasia kia ʻAmosi, “ʻA koe ʻoku mamata meʻa, ʻalu, puna atu ki he fonua ʻo Siuta, pea kai ai ʻae mā, mo kikite ai:
13 Kodwa eBhetheli ungabe usaprofetha futhi, ngoba iyindawo engcwele yenkosi njalo iyindlu yombuso.
Kae ʻoua naʻa toe kikite ʻi Peteli he ko e falelotu ia ʻoe tuʻi, pea ko e nofoʻanga ʻoe tuʻi.”
14 UAmosi wasephendula wathi kuAmaziya: Ngangingasumprofethi mina, futhi ngangingasindodana yomprofethi mina; kodwa ngangingumelusi wenkomo, lomvuni wemikhiwa yesikhamore.
Pea naʻe tali ʻe ʻAmosi, ʻo ne pehē kia ʻAmasia, “Naʻe ʻikai ko e palōfita au, pe ko e foha ʻo ha palōfita; ko e tangata tauhimanu au, pea ko e tānaki [au ]ʻoe fua ʻoe sukamino:
15 Kodwa iNkosi yangithatha ekulandeleni umhlambi, iNkosi yathi kimi: Hamba uyeprofetha ebantwini bami uIsrayeli.
Pea naʻe ʻave au ʻe Sihova ʻi heʻeku muimui ki he fanga manu, pea naʻe pehē ʻe Sihova kiate au, ‘ʻAlu, ʻo kikite ki hoku kakai ko ʻIsileli.’
16 Ngakho-ke zwana ilizwi leNkosi. Wena uthi: Ungaprofethi umelene loIsrayeli, ungatshumayeli umelene lendlu kaIsaka.
Pea ko eni, fanongo koe ki he folofola ʻa Sihova: ʻoku ke pehē, ‘ʻOua naʻa kikite ki ʻIsileli, pea ʻoua naʻa tō [hoʻo lea ]ki he fale ʻo ʻAisake.’
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.
Ko ia ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova; ‘ʻE hoko ho uaifi ko e fefine feʻauaki ʻi he kolo, pea ko ho ngaahi foha mo ho ngaahi ʻofefine, ʻe tō ʻi he heletā, pea ʻe vahevahe ho fonua ʻaki ʻae afo; pea te ke mate ʻi ha fonua pani ʻuli: pea ʻe ʻalu moʻoni ʻa ʻIsileli mei hono fonua ki he pōpula.’”
