< U-Amosi 8 >
1 INkosi uJehova yangibonisa kanje; khangela-ke, isitsha sezithelo zehlobo.
ʻOku pehē hono fakahā mai kiate au ʻe he ʻEiki ko e ʻOtua: pea vakai, ko e kato fuaʻi ʻakau ʻoe faʻahitaʻu mafana.
2 Yasisithi: Ubonani, Amosi? Ngathi: Isitsha sezithelo zehlobo. INkosi yasisithi kimi: Ukuphela sekufikile ebantwini bami uIsrayeli; kangisayikubedlula futhi.
Pea naʻa ne pehē, “ʻAmosi, Ko e hā ʻoku ke mamata ai?” Pea u pehē, “Ko e kato fuaʻi ʻakau ʻoe faʻahitaʻu mafana.” Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Sihova kiate au, “Kuo hoko hono ngataʻanga ki hoku kakai ko ʻIsileli; ʻe ʻikai te u toe laka ʻiate kinautolu.”
3 Kodwa izingoma zethempelini zizaqhinqa isililo mhlalokho, itsho iNkosi uJehova; kuzakuba lezidumbu ezinengi; kuyo yonke indawo bazaziphosela ngokuthula.
ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua, “ʻE hoko ʻae ngaahi hiva ʻoe fale tapu, ko e tangi fakalōloa ʻi he ʻaho ko ia: ʻe lahi ʻae ʻangaʻanga ʻi he potu kotoa pē; ʻe lī ʻakinautolu kituʻa ʻi he fakalongo pē.
4 Zwanini lokhu, lina eliginya oswelayo, lokuthi lichithe abayanga belizwe;
Fanongo eni, ʻakimoutolu ʻoku folo hifo ʻae paea, ʻio, ke fakaʻosi ʻae kakai masiva mei he fonua,
5 elithi: Ukuthwasa kwenyanga kuzadlula nini ukuze sithengise amabele? lesabatha ukuze sivule ingqoloyi, sisenza i-efa libe lincinyane, sisenza ishekeli libe likhulu, siphambanisa izilinganiso zenkohliso.
ʻO pehē, ‘ʻE ʻosi ʻafē ʻae māhina foʻou, ka tau fakatau koane? Pea mo e ʻaho tapu, ka tau vakili ʻae uite, ʻo fakasiʻisiʻi ʻae efa, pea fakalahi ʻae sikeli, pea fakakehe ʻae meʻa fua tautau ʻi he kākā?
6 Ukuze sithenge abayanga ngesiliva, loswelayo ngamanyathela amabili, yebo sithengise amakhoba amabele?
Pea ke tau fakatau ʻae kakai masiva ʻaki ʻae siliva, pea mo e paea ʻaki ha topuvaʻe: pea ke fakatau ʻae uite kovi?’”
7 INkosi ifungile ngobukhosi bukaJakobe: Isibili kangiyikukhohlwa zonke izenzo zabo kuze kube nininini.
Kuo fuakava ʻaki ʻe Sihova ʻae lelei ʻo Sēkope, “Ko e moʻoni ʻe ʻikai ngalo ʻiate au ʻenau ngaahi ngāue ʻo lauikuonga.
8 Kawuyikuqhaqhazela yini umhlaba ngalokhu, alile laye wonke ohlala kuwo? Yebo ukhukhumale wonke njengomfula, uphoseke le lale utshone njengomfula weGibhithe.
ʻIkai ʻe tetetete ʻae fonua koeʻuhi ko eni, pea taki taha tangi ʻaia ʻoku nofo ʻi ai? Pea ʻe tupu kātoa ia ʻo hangē ko e lōmaki; pea ʻe lī ia kituʻa ʻo melemo, hangē ko e malofa ʻi ʻIsipite.
9 Kuzakuthi-ke ngalolosuku, itsho iNkosi uJehova, ngizatshonisa ilanga emini enkulu, ngenze umhlaba ube mnyama emini ekhanyayo.
ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua, “ʻe hoko ʻi he ʻaho ko ia, te u pule ke tō ʻae laʻā ʻi he hoʻatāmālie, pea te u fakapoʻuliʻi ʻa māmani ʻi he kei ʻaho ʻaupito:
10 Ngiphendule imikhosi yenu ibe yikulila, lengoma zenu zonke zibe yisililo, ngilethe isaka enkalweni zonke, lempabanga ekhanda lonke, ngikwenze kube njengesililo sendodana eyodwa, lokucina kwalo njengosuku olubabayo.
Pea te u liliu hoʻomou ngaahi kātoanga ko e tangi, pea mo hoʻomou hiva kotoa pē ki he tangilāulau; pea te u ʻomi ʻae tauangaʻa ki homou kongaloto kotoa pē, pea ʻe tekefua ʻae ʻulu kotoa pē; pea te u ngaohi ia ke hangē ko e tangi koeʻuhi ko e pele pe taha, pea ko hono ngataʻanga ke hangē ko e ʻaho ʻoe mamahi kona.
11 Khangela, insuku ziyeza, itsho iNkosi uJehova, lapho ngizathumela indlala elizweni, kungabi yindlala yokudla, kungabi ngeyokomela amanzi, kodwa eyokuzwa amazwi eNkosi.
Vakai, ʻoku hoko ʻae ngaahi ʻaho,” ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua, “ʻAia te u fekau ʻae honge ki he fonua, kae ʻikai ko e honge mā, pe ko e fieinu vai, ka ko e fanongo ki he ngaahi folofola ʻa Sihova:
12 Njalo bazazula kusukela elwandle kuze kube selwandle, njalo kusukela enyakatho kuze kube sempumalanga, bagijimele le lale ukudinga ilizwi leNkosi, kodwa bengalitholi.
Pea te nau ʻāuhē mei he tahi ki he tahi, pea mei he tokelau ki hahake, te nau lele fano pe ke kumi ʻae folofola ʻa Sihova, ka ʻe ʻikai te nau ʻilo ia.
13 Ngalolosuku intombi ezimsulwa ezinhle lamajaha azaqaleka ngenxa yokoma.
ʻI he ʻaho ko ia ʻe pongia ʻae kau taʻahine hoihoifua, mo e kau talavou ʻi he fieinu.
14 Labo abafunga ngecala leSamariya bathi: Kuphila kukankulunkulu wakho, Dani; lokuthi: Kuphila kwendlela yeBherishebha; bazakuwa-ke, bangabe besavuka.
Ko kinautolu ʻoku fuakava ki he angahala ʻa Samēlia, pea lea pehē, ‘ʻOku moʻui ho ʻotua, ʻe Tani;’ pea ‘Ko e anga ʻo Peasipa ʻoku moʻui;’ te nau tō, pea ʻe ʻikai te nau toetuʻu ʻo lauikuonga.”
