Amosi 6
1 Mune nhamo imi makavarairwa muZioni, nemi munofunga kuti mugere pakasimba paGomo reSamaria, imi varume vanozivikanwa vorudzi rukuru, kunoenda vanhu veIsraeri!
Woe to them [that are] at ease in Zion, and trust in the mountain of Samaria, [who are] named chief of the nations, to whom the house of Israel came!
2 Endai kuKarine mundoritarisa; muchibvapo moenda kuHamati guta guru, uye mozodzika kuGati muFiristia. Vari nani kupfuura umambo hwenyu huviri here?
Pass ye to Calneh, and see; and from thence go ye to Hamath the great: then go down to Gath of the Philistines: [are they] better than these kingdoms? or their border greater than your border?
3 Munoti zuva rakaipa ngarirege kusvika muchiswededza pedyo utongi hwokuvhundutsira.
Ye that put far away the evil day, and cause the seat of violence to come near;
4 Munovata pamibhedha yenyanga dzenzou, muchizorora pazvigaro zvenyu. Munodya makwayana akaisvonaka nemhuru dzakakodzwa.
That lie upon beds of ivory, and stretch themselves upon their couches, and eat lambs from the flock, and calves from the midst of the stall;
5 Munoridza zvenyu mbira dzenyu saDhavhidhi, uye munozvigadzirira zviridzwa.
That chant to the sound of the viol, [and] invent to themselves instruments of music, like David;
6 Munonwa waini yakawanda, muchizora mafuta akaisvonaka, asi hamuchemi nokuda kwamatongo aJosefa.
That drink wine in bowls, and anoint themselves with the chief ointments: but they are not grieved for the affliction of Joseph.
7 Naizvozvo muchava pakati pevachatanga kuenda kuutapwa; mabiko enyu nokuzorora kwenyu zvichapera.
Therefore now shall they go captive with the first that go captive, and the banquet of them that stretched themselves shall be removed.
8 Ishe Jehovha akapika naiye pachake, Jehovha Mwari Wamasimba Ose anoti, “Ndinosema kuzvikudza kwaJakobho, uye ndinovenga nhare dzake; ndichaisa guta kuvavengi nezvose zviri mariri.”
The Lord GOD hath sworn by himself, saith the LORD the God of hosts, I abhor the excellence of Jacob, and hate his palaces: therefore I will deliver up the city with all its abundance.
9 Kana varume gumi vakasiyiwa muimba imwe chete naivowo vachafa.
And it shall come to pass, if there remain ten men in one house, they shall die.
10 Uye kana hama inofanira kupisa mitumbi ikauya kuzovabudisa mumba, uye ikabvunza munhu achakahwanda imomo ichiti, “Pane mumwe waunaye here?” uye akati, “Kwete,” ipapo iye achati, “Nyarara! Hatifaniri kuti titaure zita raJehovha.”
And a man's uncle shall take him up, and he that burneth him, to bring the bones out of the house, and shall say to him that [is] by the sides of the house, [Is there] yet [any] with thee? and he shall say, No. Then shall he say, Hold thy tongue: for we may not make mention of the name of the LORD.
11 Nokuti Jehovha akarayira, uye achaparadza imba huru igoita murwi, nemba duku igoti mwarara.
For behold, the LORD commandeth, and he will smite the great house with breaches, and the little house with clefts.
12 Ko, mabhiza angamhanya paruware here? Ko, pane angaparima ipapo nemombe here? Asi makashandura kururamisira mukakuita muchetura, nechibereko chokururama mukachiita gavakava,
Shall horses run upon the rock? will [one] plow [there] with oxen? for ye have turned judgment into gall, and the fruit of righteousness into hemlock:
13 imi munopembera pakukundwa kweRo Dhibhari uye munoti, “Hatina kuzvitorera Karinaini nesimba redu here?”
Ye who rejoice in a thing of naught, who say, Have we not taken to us horns by our own strength?
14 Nokuti Jehovha Mwari Wamasimba Ose anoti, “Ndichakumutsirai rumwe rudzi kuti rukumukirei, imi imba yaIsraeri, ruchakutambudzai panzira yenyu yose, kubva kuRebho Hamati kusvikira kumupata weArabha.”
But behold, I will raise up against you a nation, O house of Israel, saith the LORD the God of hosts; and they shall afflict you from the entrance of Hamath to the river of the wilderness.
