< Amosi 7 >
1 Hili ndilo alilonionyesha Bwana Mwenyezi katika maono: Alikuwa anaandaa makundi ya nzige baada ya kuvunwa fungu la mfalme na wakati ule tu mimea ya pili ilipokuwa ikichipua.
Thus he showed me [the] Lord Yahweh and there! [he was] forming locusts at [the] beginning of [the] coming up of the spring-crop and there! a spring-crop after [the] mowings of the king.
2 Wakati nzige walikuwa wamekula mimea yote ya nchi, nililia kwa sauti kuu, “Bwana Mwenyezi, samehe! Je, Yakobo atawezaje kuendelea kuishi? Yeye ni mdogo sana!”
And it will be if it had finished to eat [the] vegetation of the land and I said O Lord Yahweh forgive please who? will he stand Jacob for [is] small he.
3 Kwa hiyo Bwana akaghairi. Kisha Bwana akasema, “Hili halitatokea.”
He relented Yahweh on this not it will be he said Yahweh.
4 Hili ndilo Bwana Mwenyezi alilonionyesha katika maono: Bwana Mwenyezi alikuwa akiita hukumu ya moto; nao ulikausha vilindi vikuu, ukateketeza nchi.
Thus he showed me [the] Lord Yahweh and there! [was] calling for conducting a case by fire [the] Lord Yahweh and it consumed [the] deep great and it consumed the portion of land.
5 Ndipo nikalia, “Bwana Mwenyezi, nakusihi, zuia! Je, Yakobo atawezaje kuendelea kuishi? Yeye ni mdogo sana!”
And I said O Lord Yahweh cease please who? will he stand Jacob for [is] small he.
6 Kwa hiyo Bwana akaghairi. Bwana Mwenyezi akasema, “Hili nalo halitatokea.”
He relented Yahweh on this also it not it will be he said [the] Lord Yahweh.
7 Hili ndilo alilonionyesha katika maono: Bwana alikuwa amesimama karibu na ukuta ambao ulikuwa umejengwa kwa timazi, akiwa na uzi wa timazi mkononi mwake.
Thus he showed me and there! [the] Lord [was] standing on a wall of tin and [was] in hand his tin.
8 Naye Bwana akaniuliza, “Je, Amosi unaona nini?” Nikamjibu, “Uzi wa timazi.” Kisha Bwana akasema, “Tazama, ninaweka uzi wa timazi miongoni mwa watu wangu Israeli; sitawahurumia tena.
And he said Yahweh to me what? [are] you seeing O Amos and I said tin and he said [the] Lord here I [am] about to put tin in [the] midst of people my Israel not I will repeat again to pass by it.
9 “Mahali pa Isaki pa juu pa kuabudia miungu pataangamizwa, na mahali patakatifu pa Israeli pa kuabudia pataharibiwa; kwa upanga wangu nitainuka dhidi ya nyumba ya Yeroboamu.”
And they will be made desolate [the] high places of Isaac and [the] sanctuaries of Israel they will be waste and I will arise on [the] house of Jeroboam with the sword.
10 Kisha Amazia kuhani wa Betheli akatuma ujumbe kwa Yeroboamu mfalme wa Israeli, akisema: “Amosi analeta fitina juu yako katikati ya Israeli. Nchi haiwezi kuvumilia maneno yake yote.
And he sent Amaziah [the] priest of Beth-el to Jeroboam [the] king of Israel saying he has conspired on you Amos in [the] midst of [the] house of Israel not it is able the land to endure all words his.
11 Kwa kuwa hili ndilo Amosi analosema: “‘Yeroboamu atakufa kwa upanga, na kwa hakika Israeli watakwenda uhamishoni, mbali na nchi yao.’”
For thus he has said Amos by the sword he will die Jeroboam and Israel certainly it will go into exile from on land its.
12 Kisha Amazia akamwambia Amosi, “Nenda zako, ewe mwonaji! Urudi katika nchi ya Yuda. Ujipatie riziki yako huko na kutoa unabii wako.
And he said Amaziah to Amos O seer go flee yourself to [the] land of Judah and eat there bread and there you will prophesy.
13 Usiendelee kutoa unabii katika Betheli, kwa sababu hapa ni mahali pa mfalme pa kuabudia na Hekalu la ufalme huu.”
And Beth-el not you must repeat again to prophesy for [is] a sanctuary of a king it and [is] a house of kingdom it.
14 Amosi akamjibu Amazia, “Mimi sikuwa nabii wala mwana wa nabii, lakini nilikuwa mchungaji wa kondoo na mtunza mikuyu.
And he answered Amos and he said to Amaziah not [am] a prophet I and not [am] a son of a prophet I for [was] a herdsman I and a fig picker of sycamores.
15 Lakini Bwana akanitoa kutoka kuchunga kondoo na kuniambia, ‘Nenda, ukawatabirie watu wangu Israeli.’
And he took me Yahweh from after the flock and he said to me Yahweh go prophesy to people my Israel.
16 Sasa basi, sikieni neno la Bwana. Ninyi mnasema, “‘Usitabiri dhidi ya Israeli, na uache kuhubiri dhidi ya nyumba ya Isaki.’
And therefore hear [the] word of Yahweh you [are] saying not you must prophesy on Israel and not you must prophesy on [the] house of Isaac.
17 “Kwa hiyo hili ndilo asemalo Bwana: “‘Mke wako atakuwa kahaba mjini, nao wana wako na binti zako watauawa kwa upanga. Shamba lako litapimwa na kugawanywa, na wewe mwenyewe utafia katika nchi ya kipagani. Nayo Israeli kwa hakika itakwenda uhamishoni, mbali na nchi yao.’”
Therefore thus he says Yahweh wife your in the city she will be a prostitute and sons your and daughters your by the sword they will fall and land your with measuring-line it will be divided and you on ground unclean you will die and Israel certainly it will go into exile from on land its.
