ʻAmosi 5
1 Fanongo ki he lea ni, ʻoku ou ʻai kiate kimoutolu, ʻi he tangilāulau, ʻe fale ʻo ʻIsileli.
Zwana ilizwi leli, wena ndlu ka-Israyeli, isililo lesi engisenzayo ngani:
2 “Kuo hinga ʻae taʻahine ʻa ʻIsileli, ʻe ʻikai te ne toetuʻu; kuo liʻaki ia ʻi hono fonua; ʻoku ʻikai ha taha ke toe fokotuʻu ia.”
“Iwile iNtombi u-Israyeli, kayiphindi ivuke futhi, ideliwe elizweni layo, kungekho ongayiphakamisela phezulu.”
3 He ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova, ko e ʻOtua; “Ko e kolo naʻe ʻalu ai ʻae toko taha afe, ʻe toe pe ʻae toko teau, pea ko ia naʻe ʻalu ai ʻae toko teau, ʻe toe pe ʻae toko hongofulu, ki he fale ʻo ʻIsileli.
Nanku okutshiwo nguThixo Wobukhosi: “Idolobho lenu elikhupha inkulungwane eziqinileyo lizasala labalikhulu kuphela; idolobho elikhupha abalikhulu abaqinileyo lizasala labalitshumi kuphela.”
4 Pea ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova ki he fale ʻo ʻIsileli, “Kumi kiate au, pea te mou moʻui:
Nanku okutshiwo nguThixo endlini ka-Israyeli: “Dingani mina, liphile;
5 Kaeʻoua naʻa kumi ʻa Peteli, pe hū ki Kilikali, pea ʻoua naʻa laka ki Peasipa: koeʻuhi ʻe ʻalu moʻoni ʻa Kilikali ke pōpula, pea ʻe hoko ʻa Peteli ko e meʻa noa pē.
lingadingi iBhetheli, lingayi eGiligali, lingayi eBherishebha. Ngoba impela iGiligali izakuya ekuthunjweni, leBhetheli izadliwa iphele nya.”
6 Kumi kia Sihova, pea te mou moʻui telia naʻa hā mai ia, hangē ko e afi ʻi he fale ʻo Siosefa, pea ne keina ia, kae ʻikai ha taha ʻi Peteli ke fuʻifuʻi ia.
Dingani uThixo liphile hlezi adabule phakathi kwendlu kaJosefa njengomlilo; uzatshisa uqothule, njalo iBhetheli kayiyikuba lomuntu ozawucitsha.
7 Ko kimoutolu ʻoku liliu ʻae fakamaau ko e ʻakau kona, pea mou tuku ʻae angatonu ʻi he fonua,
Lina eliguqula ukulunga kube yibuhlungu, lilahlele ubuqotho emhlabathini.
8 [Kumi ia ]naʻa ne ngaohi ʻae fetuʻu ʻe fitu mo ʻOlioni, pea ʻoku ne liliu ʻae ʻata ʻoe mate ko e pongipongi, pea ne ngaohi ʻae ʻaho ke poʻuli ʻi he pō: pea ʻoku ne ui ʻae ngaahi vai ʻoe tahi, pea ne lilingi ia ki he funga ʻoe fonua: ko Sihova hono huafa:
Yena owenza iSilimela loMthala, oguqula umnyama ube yikusa enze imini ibe yibusuku obumnyama, yena obiza amanzi olwandle, awathele phezu kobuso belizwe, uThixo yilo ibizo lakhe,
9 ʻOku ne fakamālohi ʻae vetekina ki he mālohi, koeʻuhi ke tauʻi ʻe he vetekina ʻae kolo.
wehlisela incithakalo phezu kwenqaba atshabalalise idolobho elivikelweyo.
10 ʻOku nau fehiʻa kiate ia ʻoku fai ʻae valoki ʻi he matapā, pea ʻoku nau fākaliliʻa kiate ia ʻoku lea ʻi he angatonu.
Liyamzonda okhuzayo emthethwandaba limeyise lalowo okhuluma iqiniso.
11 Koeʻuhi ko e meʻa ʻi hoʻomou malakiʻi ʻae kakai masiva, pea ʻoku mou toʻo meiate ia ʻae ngaahi kavenga uite: kuo mou langa ʻae ngaahi fale ʻaki ʻae maka kuo tā, ka ʻe ʻikai te mou nofo ai; kuo mou tō ʻae ngaahi ngoue vaine matamatalelei, ka ʻe ʻikai te mou inu uaine mei ai.
Linyathezela umyanga limncindezele ukuba aliphe amabele. Ngakho-ke, lanxa lakhe izindlu ezinkulukazi zamatshe kaliyikuhlala kuzo; lanxa lihlanyele izivini ezinhle, iwayini lazo kaliyikulinatha.
12 He ʻoku ou ʻilo hoʻomou ngaahi talangataʻa lahi, pea mo hoʻomou fungani angahala: ʻoku nau fakamamahiʻi ʻae angatonu, ʻoku nau maʻu tukungoue, pea ʻoku nau fakateketeke atu ʻae kakai masiva ʻi he matapā.
Ngoba iziphambeko zenu ngiyazazi ukuthi zingaki kanye lokuthi izono zenu zinkulu okunganani. Lincindezela abalungileyo lamukele isivalamlomo, njalo emithethwandaba linqabela abayanga imfanelo.
13 Ko ia ʻe longo ai ʻae fakapotopoto ʻi he kuonga ko ia; he ko e kuonga kovi.
Ngakho ezikhathini ezinjalo umuntu ohlakaniphileyo uyazithulela, ngoba izikhathi zimbi.
14 Kumi ʻae lelei, kae ʻikai ko e kovi, koeʻuhi ke mou moʻui: ko ia, ko Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻoe ngaahi tokolahi, te ne ʻiate kimoutolu, ʻo hangē ko hoʻomou lea.
Dingani okuhle, hatshi okubi, ukuze liphile. Lapho-ke uThixo uNkulunkulu uSomandla uzakuba lani njengoba lisithi ulani.
15 Fehiʻa ki he kovi, pea ʻofa ki he lelei, pea fokotuʻumaʻu ʻae fakamaau ʻi he matapā; heiʻilo pe ʻe ʻaloʻofa ʻa Sihova, ko e ʻOtua ʻoe ngaahi kautau, ki he toenga ʻo Siosefa.”
Zondani okubi lithande okuhle; qinisani ukulunga emithethwandaba. Mhlawumbe uThixo uNkulunkulu uSomandla uzakuba lomusa kuzinsalela zakoJosefa.
16 Ko ia ko Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻoe ngaahi kautau, ko e ʻEiki, ʻoku pehē, “ʻE ʻi ai ʻae tangi ʻi he ngaahi hala kotoa pē; pea te nau pehē ʻi he ngaahi hala motuʻa kotoa pē, ‘ʻOiauē! ʻOiauē!’ Pea te nau ui ʻae tangata ngoue ki he tangi, pea mo kinautolu ʻoku poto ʻi he tangilāulau ke fai ʻae tangi.
Ngakho nanku okutshiwo yiNkosi, uThixo, uNkulunkulu uSomandla, “Kuzakuba lokulila emigwaqweni yonke lokukhala kabuhlungu ezinkundleni zonke zikazulu. Abalimi bazabizwa ukuba bakhale, labakhalayo ukuba balile.
17 Pea ʻe ʻi ai ʻae tangi ʻi he ngoue vaine kotoa pē: he te u laka mai ʻiate koe,” ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova.
Kuzakuba lokulila ezivinini zonke, ngoba ngizadlula phakathi kwenu,” kutsho uThixo.
18 “Malaʻia kiate kimoutolu ʻoku holi ki he ʻaho ʻo Sihova! He koeʻumaʻā ia kiate kimoutolu? Ko e ʻaho ʻo Sihova kuo poʻuli, kae ʻikai maama.
Maye kini lina elilangazelela usuku lukaThixo! Kungani lilangazelela lolosuku lukaThixo na? Lolosuku luzakuba ngumnyama, hatshi ukukhanya.
19 Hangē ko e tangata ʻoku hola mei he laione, pea ʻoku ne fakafetaulaki mo ha pea; pe ko ha taha ne hū ki fale, pea ne faʻaki hono nima ki he holisi, ka naʻe ʻuusi ia ʻe ha ngata.
Kuzafana lokuthi umuntu ubalekele isilwane wahlangana lebhele, njengangathi ungene endlini yakhe wabambelela emdulini ngesandla waselunywa yinyoka.
20 ʻIkai ʻe poʻuli ʻae ʻaho ʻo Sihova, pea ʻikai maama? ʻIo, ko e poʻuli ʻaupito, ka ʻe ʻikai ʻi ai ha maama siʻi ke ulo?
Usuku lukaThixo kaluyikuba ngumnyama na, hatshi ukukhanya, lumnyama bhuqe, kungekho nhlansi yokukhanya?
21 “ʻOku ou fehiʻa, ʻoku ou fakaliliʻa ki homou ngaahi ʻaho kātoanga, pea ʻe ʻikai te u nanamu ki hoʻomou ngaahi fakataha mamafa.
“Ngiyayizonda, ngiyayeyisa imikhosi yokholo lwenu; angingeke ngiyimele imbuthano yenu.
22 Neongo ʻoku mou hifo ʻaki ʻae ngaahi feilaulau tutu mo e ngaahi feilaulau meʻakai, ʻe ʻikai te u maʻu ia: pea ʻe ʻikai te u tokangaʻi ʻae ngaahi feilaulau fakalelei ʻo hoʻomou fanga manu sino.
Lanxa lingangilethela iminikelo yokutshiswa leminikelo yamabele kangiyikuyamukela. Lanxa liletha iminikelo emihle kakhulu yobuzalwane, lokunonisiweyo kangiyikuyinanza.
23 Hiki ke mamaʻo ʻiate au ʻae longoaʻa ʻo hoʻomou hiva; he ʻe ʻikai te u fanongo ki he mālie ʻo hoʻomou ngaahi meʻa faiva.
Sukani lomsindo wezingoma zenu! Kangiyikuwulalela umculo wamachacho enu.
24 Ka ʻe tuku ʻae fakamaau ke tafe hangē ko e vai, pea mo e angatonu hangē ko e vaitafe mālohi.
Kodwa ukulunga kakugeleze njengamanzi, lobuqotho njengesifula esingatshiyo!
25 “Kuo mou hifo ʻaki ʻae ngaahi feilaulau mo e ngaahi hifo kiate au, ʻi he taʻu ʻe fāngofulu ʻi he toafa, ʻe fale ʻo ʻIsileli?
Kanje wake wangilethela imihlatshelo leminikelo eminyakeni engamatshumi amane enkangala, wena ndlu ka-Israyeli na?
26 Ka kuo mou fua ʻae fale fehikitaki ʻo homou Moloke mo Kiuni, ko hoʻomou ongo tamapua, ko e fetuʻu ʻo homou ʻotua, ʻaia naʻa mou ngaohi moʻomoutolu.
Seliphakamise indawo yokukhonzela izithombe zenu, isenabelo senkosi unkulunkulu wenu uSakhuthi, lenkanyezi kankulunkulu wenu uKhayiwani, elazenzela khona lina ngokwenu.
27 Ko ia te u pule ke mou ʻalu pōpula kituʻa Tamasikusi:” ʻoku pehē ʻa Sihova, ʻaia ko hono huafa, ko e ʻOtua ʻoe ngaahi kautau.
Ngakho ngizalisa ekuthunjweni ngale kweDamaseko,” kutsho uThixo obizo lakhe nguNkulunkulu uSomandla.
