< Amosi 6 >
1 Ole wao wanaostarehe katika Sayuni, na kwa wale ambao wameokoka katika nchi ya mlima wa Samaria, watu mashuhuri bora wa mataifa, ambao nyumba ya Israeli huja kwa ajili ya msaada!
Wo to you, that ben ful of richessis in Sion, and tristen in the hil of Samarie, ye principal men, the heedis of puplis, that goen proudli in to the hous of Israel.
2 Viongozi wenu husema, “Pita kwenda Kalne na mkatazame; kutoka huko nendeni hadi Hamathi, mji mkubwa; kisha nendeni chini hata Gathi ya Wapelestina. Je ni wabora kuliko falme zenu mbili? Je kuna mpaka mkubwa kuliko mpaka wenu?”
Go ye in to Calamye, and se ye, and go ye fro thennus in to Emath the greet; and go ye doun in to Geth of Palestyns, and to alle the beste rewmes of hem, if her terme be broddere than youre terme.
3 Ole wao wale waiwekao siku ya majanga na kufanya ufalme kuwa kinyume kusogea karibu.
And ye ben departid in to yuel dai, and neiyen to the seete of wickidnesse;
4 Wamelala juu ya vitanda vya pembe na kupumzika juu ya viti vyao. Wakala wana kondoo kutoka kwenye kundi na ndama kutoka kwenye zizi.
and ye slepen in beddis of yuer, and doen letcherie in youre beddis; and ye eten a lomb of the flok, and calues of the myddil of droue;
5 Wanaimba nyimbo za kijinga kwenye muziki wa kinubi; wanatunga kwenye vyombo kama vya Daudi.
and ye syngen at vois of sautree. As Dauid thei gessiden hem for to haue instrumentis of song, and drynken wyn in viols;
6 Wanakunywa mvinyo kutoka kwenye bakuli na kujipaka mafuta wenyewe kwa mafuta ya marahamu, lakini hawahuzuniki juu ya mateso ya Yusufu.
and with beste oynement thei weren anoynted; and in no thing thei hadden compassioun on the sorewe, ether defoulyng, of Joseph.
7 Hivyo sasa watakwenda utumwani pamoja na watumwa wakwanza, na kelele za hao waliojinyoosha zitapita.
Wherfor now thei schulen passe in the heed of men passynge ouer, and the doyng of men doynge letcherie schal be don awei.
8 “Mimi Bwana Yahwe, nimeapa kwa nafsi yangu -hivi ndivyo Bwana Yahwe asemavyo, Mungu wa majeshi, naizira fahari ya Yakobo; nachukia boma zake. Kwa hiyo nitautoa huo mji pamoja vyote vilivyomo humo.”
The Lord God swoor in his soule, seith the Lord God of oostis, Y wlate the pride of Jacob, and Y hate the housis of hym, and Y schal bitake the citee with hise dwelleris;
9 Itakuja kuhusu kwamba kama kuna wanaume kumi waliobakia kwenye nyumba moja, watakufa.
that if ten men ben left in oon hous, and thei schulen die.
10 Wakati ndugu wa mtu huyo atakapokuja kuchukua miili yao-yule ambaye awachomaye baada ya kuleta maiti katika nyumba-kama akisema kwa mtu katika nyumba, “Je kuna mtu yuko pamoja nawe?” Vipi kama yule akisema, “Hapana.” Kisha atasema, “Kaa kimya, kwa kuwa hatulitaja jina la Yahwe.”
And his neiybore schal take hym, and schal brenne hym, that he bere out boonys of the hous. And he schal seie to hym, that is in the priuy places of the hous, Whether ther is yit anentis thee? And he schal answer, An ende is. And he schal seie to hym, Be thou stille, and thenke thou not on the name of the Lord.
11 Tazama, Yahwe atatoa amri, na nyumba kubwa itapigwa kuwa vipande vipande, na nyumba ndogo kuwa na nyufa.
For lo! the Lord schal comaunde, and schal smyte the grettere hous with fallyngis, and the lesse hous with brekyngis.
12 Je farasi watakimbia juu ya mteremko wa miamba? Je mtu atalima huko na ng'ome? Bado mmegeuza haki kuwa sumu na tunda la haki kuwa uchungu.
Whether horsis moun renne in stoonys, ether it mai be eerid with wielde oxun? For ye turneden doom in to bitternesse, and the fruyt of riytfulnesse in to wermod.
13 Ninyi mnaofurahia juu ya Lo Debari, msemao, “Je hatukuchukua Karnaimu kwa nguvu zetu wenyewe?”
And ye ben glad in nouyt, and ye seien, Whether not in oure strengthe we token to vs hornes?
14 Lakini tazama, nitainua juu yenu taifa, nyumba ya Israeli-hivi ndivyo asemavyo Bwana Yahwe, Mungu wa majeshi. Watawatesa ninyi kutoka Lebo Hamathi hata kijito cha Araba.”
Lo! Y schal reise on you, the hous of Israel, seith the Lord God of oostis, a folc; and it schal al to-breke you fro entre of Emath `til to the streem of desert.
