< Amosi 6 >
1 Ole wenu ninyi mnaostarehe na kuridhika katika Sayuni, na ninyi mnaojisikia salama juu ya Mlima Samaria, ninyi watu mashuhuri wa taifa lililoendelea kuliko mataifa mengine, ambao watu wa Israeli wanawategemea!
Woe to! the [people] at ease in Zion and those [who] trust in [the] mountain of Samaria [the] distinguished [people] of [the] first of the nations and they will come to them [the] house of Israel.
2 Nendeni Kalne mkaone kutoka huko; mwende hadi Hamathi iliyo kuu, kisha mshuke hadi Gathi ya Wafilisti. Je, wao ni bora kuliko falme zenu mbili? Je, nchi yao ni kubwa kuliko yenu?
Pass over Calneh and see and go from there Hamath-Rabbah and go down Gath of [the] Philistines ¿ [are they] good more than the kingdoms these or? great [is] territory their more than territory your.
3 Mnaiweka mbali siku iliyo mbaya na kuleta karibu utawala wa kuogofya.
Those [who] push away a day evil and you have brought near! a seat of violence.
4 Ninyi mnalala juu ya vitanda vilivyofunikwa kwa pembe za ndovu, na kujinyoosha juu ya viti vya fahari. Mnajilisha kwa wana-kondoo wazuri na ndama walionenepeshwa.
Those [who] lie on beds of ivory and [people] sprawled out on couches their and [those who] eat lambs from [the] flock and calves from [the] midst of [the] stall.
5 Ninyi mnapiga vinubi kama Daudi, huku mkitunga nyimbo za vinanda mbalimbali.
Those [who] improvise on [the] mouth of the lyre like David they have devised for themselves instruments of song.
6 Mnakunywa mvinyo kwa bakuli zilizojazwa, na mnajipaka mafuta mazuri, lakini hamhuzuniki kwa maangamizi ya Yosefu.
Those [who] drink in bowls of wine and [the] best of oils they smear and not they were sickened on [the] ruin of (Joseph *L(abh)*)
7 Kwa hiyo mtakuwa miongoni mwa watu wa kwanza kwenda uhamishoni; karamu zenu na kustarehe kutakoma.
therefore now they will go into exile at [the] head of [those who] go into exile and it will come to an end [the] revelry of sprawled out [people].
8 Bwana Mwenyezi ameapa kwa nafsi yake mwenyewe: Bwana Mungu Mwenye Nguvu Zote asema: “Nachukia kiburi cha Yakobo, nachukia ngome zake; nitautoa mji wao na kila kitu kilichomo ndani mwake.”
He has sworn [the] Lord Yahweh by self his [the] utterance of Yahweh God of hosts [am] loathing I [the] pride of Jacob and fortresses his I hate and I will deliver up [the] city and what fills it.
9 Kama watu kumi watabaki katika nyumba moja, wao pia watakufa.
And it will be if they will remain ten men in a house one and they will die.
10 Kama jamaa ambaye atachoma miili akija ili kuitoa nje ya nyumba, na kumuuliza yeyote ambaye bado anajificha humo, “Je, yuko mtu yeyote pamoja nawe?” Naye akisema, “Hapana,” ndipo atakaposema, “Nyamaza kimya! Haturuhusiwi kutaja jina la Bwana.”
And he will lift up him loved one his and [the one who] burns him to bring out bones from the house and he will say to [the one] who [is] in [the] innermost parts of the house ¿ still [is anyone] with you and he will say no and he will say hush! for not to bring to remembrance [the] name of Yahweh.
11 Kwa kuwa Bwana ameamuru, naye atabomoa jumba kubwa vipande vipande na nyumba ndogo vipande vidogo vidogo.
For here! Yahweh [is] commanding and someone will strike the house great fragments and the house small rubble.
12 Je, farasi waweza kukimbia kwenye miamba mikali? Je, aweza mtu kulima huko kwa maksai? Lakini mmegeuza haki kuwa sumu na matunda ya uadilifu kuwa uchungu:
¿ Do they run! on the crag[s] horses or? does anyone plow with oxen for you have turned into poison justice and [the] fruit of righteousness into wormwood.
13 ninyi mnaoshangilia kushindwa kwa Lo-Debari na kusema, “Je, hatukuteka Karnaimu kwa nguvu zetu wenyewe?”
The joyful [people] to Lo Debar who say ¿ not by own strength our have we taken for ourselves Karnaim.
14 Maana Bwana Mungu Mwenye Nguvu Zote asema, “Nitainua taifa dhidi yenu, ee nyumba ya Israeli, nalo litawatesa kuanzia Lebo-Hamathi hadi Bonde la Araba.”
For here I [am] about to raise up on you O house of Israel [the] utterance of Yahweh [the] God of hosts a nation and they will oppress you from Lebo Hamath to [the] wadi of Arabah.
