Amosi 3
1 Sikieni neno la Yahwe aliloongea juu yenu, watu wa Israeli, juu ya familia nzima ambayo niliwatoa kutoka nchi ya Misri,
Hear the word this which he has spoken Yahweh on you O people of Israel on all the clan which I brought up from [the] land of Egypt saying.
2 “Nimewachagua ninyi tu kutoka familia zote za dunia. Kwa hiyo nitawaadhibu kwa dhambi zenu zote.”
Only you I have known from all [the] clans of the earth there-fore I will visit on you all iniquities your.
3 Je wawili wanaweza kutembea pamoja isipokuwa wamekubaliana?
¿ Do they walk two [people] together except if they have met by appointment.
4 Je simba huunguruma msituni wakati hakuna mawindo? Je mwana simba ataunguruma kutoka pangoni mwake kama hajakamata kitu?
¿ Does it roar a lion in the forest and prey not [belongs] to it ¿ does it give forth a young lion voice its from den its except if it has caught [something].
5 Je ndege ataanguka kwenye mtego aridhini wakati hakuna chambo kimewekwa kwa ajili yake? Je mtego utafyatuka juu aridhini wakati hakuna kitu cha kukamata?
¿ Does it fall a bird on bird-trap of the earth and [is] a snare there not for it ¿ does it go up a bird-trap from the ground and surely not it catches [something].
6 Je tarumbeta itapigwa mjini na watu wasitetemeke? Je janga laweza kuja mjini lisiyoletwa na Yahwe?
Is it blown a trumpet in a city and [the] people not they tremble or? is it calamity in a city and Yahweh not he has done [it].
7 Hakika Bwna Yahwe hatafanya kitu vinginevyo amewafunulia mpango watumishi wake manabii.
For not he does [the] Lord Yahweh anything that except he has revealed secret counsel his to servants his the prophets.
8 Simba ameshaunguruma; nani hatoogopa? Bwana Yahwe amekwisha ongea; nani hatotabiri?
A lion it has roared who? not will he be afraid [the] Lord Yahweh he has spoken who? not will he prophesy.
9 Tangaza hii katika ngome huko Ashdodi, na katika ngome za nchi ya Misri; sema, “Kusanyikeni kwenye milima ya Samaria na oneni vile mchafuko ulivyomkubwa kwake, na ukandamizaji uliopo katika yeye.
Proclaim to [the] fortresses in Ashdod and to [the] fortresses in [the] land of Egypt and say gather yourselves on [the] mountains of Samaria and see disturbances great in [the] midst of it and oppression in midst its.
10 Kwa kuwa hawajui jinsi ya kufanya haki -hivi ndivyo Yahwe asemavyo- hao watunzao nguvu na uharibifu katika ngome zao.”
And not they know to do straightforwardness [the] utterance of Yahweh those [who] store up violence and devastation in fortresses their.
11 Kwa hiyo, hivi ndivyo Yahwe asemavyo, “Adui ataizunguka nchi. Atazivuta chini nguvu zako na ngome zenu zitatekwa nyara.”
Therefore thus he says [the] Lord Yahweh an opponent and around the land and he will bring down from you strength your and they will be plundered fortresses your.
12 Hivi ndivyo Yahwe asemavyo,” Kama mchungaji aokoavyo miguu miwili tu kwenye mdomo wa simba, au kipande cha sikio, ndivyo wana wa Israeli watakavyookolewa wale waishio katika Samaria, pamoja na pembe ya kulalia, au pembe ya kitanda.”
Thus he says Yahweh just as he delivers the shepherd from [the] mouth of lion two legs or a piece of an ear so they will be delivered [the] people of Israel who dwell in Samaria with a corner of a bed and with silk of a couch.
13 Sikieni na kushudia juu ya nyumba ya Yakobo -hivi ndivyo Yahwe asemavyo, Mungu wa majeshi,
Hear and warn [the] house of Jacob [the] utterance of [the] Lord Yahweh [the] God of hosts.
14 “Kwa kuwa katika siku ambayo nimeadhibu dhambi za Israeli, pia nitaziadhibu madhabahu za Betheli. Pembe za madhabahu zitakatwa na kuanguka chini.
That on [the] day visit I [the] transgressions of Israel on it and I will visit [them] on [the] altars of Beth-el and they will be cut off [the] horns of the altar and they will fall to the ground.
15 Nitaiharibu nyumba ya baridi pamoja na nyumba ya hari. Nyumba za pembe zitaangamia, na nyumba kubwa zitatoweka, -hivi ndivyo Yahwe asemavyo.”
And I will strike [the] house of the winter to [the] house of the summer and they will perish [the] houses of ivory and people will snatch away houses great [the] utterance of Yahweh.
