< U-Amosi 9 >
1 Ngabona iNkosi imi phezu kwelathi, yathi: Tshaya isihloko ukuze imibundu inyikinyeke, ubaqume ekhanda, bonke babo; labokucina babo ngibabulale ngenkemba; kakuyikubaleka obalekayo wabo, kakuyikuphunyuka ophunyukayo wabo.
Ndakaona Jehovha amire parutivi rwearitari, uye akati, “Rova misoro yembiru kuti zvikumbaridzo zvizunguzike. Zviputsire pasi pamisoro yevanhu vose; avo vachasara ndichavauraya nomunondo. Hapana kana mumwe chete achatiza, hapana achapunyuka.
2 Loba begebha besiya esihogweni, isandla sami sizabathatha khona; loba bekhwela-ke besiya emazulwini, ngizabehlisa khona; (Sheol )
Kunyange vakachera kusvikira panoperera guva, kubva imomo ruoko rwangu ruchavatora. Kunyange vakakwira kumatenga, kubva ikoko ndichavadzikisa pasi. (Sheol )
3 loba becatsha-ke engqongeni yeKharmeli, ngizabadinga ngibathathe khona; loba becatsha-ke basuke phambi kwamehlo ami kuphansi yolwandle, ngizalaya inyoka ivela lapho ezabaluma;
Kunyange vakazvivanza pamusoro peKarimeri, ipapo ndichavavhima ndigovabata. Kunyange vakahwanda kubva kwandiri pasi pegungwa, ipapo ndicharayira nyoka kuti ivarume.
4 loba besiya-ke ekuthunjweni phambi kwezitha zabo, ngizalaya inkemba ivela lapho ukuze izebabulala; ngimise ilihlo lami phezu kwabo ngokubi, hatshi-ke ngokuhle.
Kunyange vakaendeswa kuutapwa navavengi vavo, ikoko ndicharayira munondo kuti uvaparadze. Ndichananʼanidza meso angu pavari kuti ndivaitire zvakaipa, kwete zvakanaka.”
5 Njalo kuyiNkosi uJehova wamabandla ethinta umhlaba, ukuze uncibilike, balile bonke abahlala kuwo, ukhukhumale wonke njengomfula, utshone njengomfula weGibhithe.
Ishe, Jehovha Wamasimba Ose, iye anobata nyika igonyungudika, navose vagere mairi vagochema, nyika yose inozara seNairi, uye igoderera serwizi rweIjipiti,
6 Eyakha amakamelo ayo aphezulu emazulwini, yamisa amaviyo ayo emhlabeni, ebiza amanzi olwandle, iwathululele ebusweni bomhlaba; iNkosi libizo layo.
iye anovaka muzinda wake kumatenga agomisa hwaro hwawo panyika, anodana mvura dzegungwa agodzidururira pamusoro penyika, Jehovha ndiro zita rake.
7 Kimi kalinjengabantwana bamaEthiyopiya yini, lina bantwana bakoIsrayeli? itsho iNkosi. Kangikhuphulanga yini uIsrayeli elizweni leGibhithe, lamaFilisti eKafitori, lamaSiriya eKiri?
“Nhai imi vaIsraeri, ko, hamusi kwandiri vamwe chete savaEtiopia here?” ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha. “Handina kubudisa Israeri kubva kuIjipiti here, vaFiristia kubva kuKafitori navaAramu kubva kuKiri?
8 Khangela, amehlo eNkosi uJehova aphezu kombuso owonayo; njalo ngizawuchitha usuke ebusweni bomhlaba, kube kanti kangiyikuyichitha ngokupheleleyo indlu kaJakobe, itsho iNkosi.
“Zvirokwazvo meso aIshe Jehovha ari paumambo hunotadza. Ndichahuparadza kubva pamusoro penyika, asi handingaparadzi zvachose imba yaJakobho,” ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha.
9 Ngoba khangela, ngizalaya ngihlungule indlu kaIsrayeli phakathi kwazo zonke izizwe njengamabele ehlungulwa ngokhomane, kodwa kakuyikuwela emhlabathini ilitshe elincinyane.
“Nokuti ndicharayira, uye ndichazunguza imba yaIsraeri pakati pendudzi dzose, sokuzunguzwa kunoitwa zviyo murusero, uye hapana kana tsanga imwe chete ichawira pasi.
10 Zonke izoni zabantu bami zizakufa ngenkemba, ezithi: Okubi kakuyikufinyelela kithi kumbe kusihlangabeze.
Vatadzi vose pakati pavanhu vangu vachafa nomunondo, vose vanoti, ‘Njodzi haingatiwiri kana kusangana nesu.’
11 Ngalolosuku ngizavusa idumba likaDavida eliwileyo, ngivale izikhala zalo, ngivuse amanxiwa alo, ngilakhe njengensukwini zendulo;
“Pazuva iro ndichamisazve tende raDhavhidhi rakawa. Ndichavakazve nzvimbo dzaro dzakaputsika, ndigovakazve matongo aro, uye ndicharivaka sezvarakanga rakaita,
12 ukuze badle ilifa lensali yeEdoma, lezizwe zonke ezibizwa ngebizo lami, itsho iNkosi eyenza lokhu.
kuti vazvitorere zvakasara zvaEdhomu nendudzi dzose dzine zita rangu,” ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha, iye achaita zvinhu izvi.
13 Khangela, insuku ziyeza, itsho iNkosi, lapho olimayo ezasondela kovunayo, lonyathela izithelo zevini kohlanyela inhlanyelo; lentaba zizathonta iwayini elimnandi, lamaqaqa wonke ancibilike.
“Mazuva ari kuuya,” ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha, “mucheki paachapfuurwa nomurimi, uye mudyari paachapfuurwa neanosvina mazambiringa. Waini itsva ichadonha kubva kumakomo, uye ichayerera kubva pazvikomo zvose.
14 Njalo ngizaphendula ukuthunjwa kwabantu bami uIsrayeli, bayakhe imizi echithekileyo, bahlale kiyo; bahlanyele izivini, banathe iwayini lazo, benze izivande, badle izithelo zazo.
Ndichadzosazve vanhu vangu vakatapwa, ivo vaIsraeri; vachavakazve maguta akaitwa matongo uye vachagara maari. Vachasima minda yemizambiringa vagonwa waini yayo. Vacharima mapindu uye vachadya zvibereko zvawo.
15 Ngibahlanyele elizweni labo, bangabe besasitshulwa elizweni engibanike lona, itsho iNkosi uNkulunkulu wakho.
Ndichasima Israeri munyika yavo voga, havangazodzurwizve kubva panyika yandakavapa,” ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha Mwari wako.
