Amos 8
1 Afei nea Otumfo Awurade yi kyerɛɛ me ni: kɛntɛn a aduaba a abere wɔ mu.
INkosi uJehova yangibonisa kanje; khangela-ke, isitsha sezithelo zehlobo.
2 Obisae se, “Dɛn na wuhu, Amos?” Mibuae se, “Kɛntɛn a wɔde nnuaba a abere ahyɛ no ma.” Na Awurade ka kyerɛɛ me se, “Me nkurɔfo Israelfo bere no aso; meremfa wɔn ho nkyɛ wɔn bio.”
Yasisithi: Ubonani, Amosi? Ngathi: Isitsha sezithelo zehlobo. INkosi yasisithi kimi: Ukuphela sekufikile ebantwini bami uIsrayeli; kangisayikubedlula futhi.
3 Sɛnea Otumfo Awurade se ni, “Saa da no, hyiadan nnwonto bɛdan agyaadwotwa. Wɔbɛbɔ afunu bebree apete baabiara! Enti yɛ komm!”
Kodwa izingoma zethempelini zizaqhinqa isililo mhlalokho, itsho iNkosi uJehova; kuzakuba lezidumbu ezinengi; kuyo yonke indawo bazaziphosela ngokuthula.
4 Muntie saa asɛm yi, mo a mutiatia mmɔborɔfo so, na mopam ahiafo fi wɔn asase so,
Zwanini lokhu, lina eliginya oswelayo, lokuthi lichithe abayanga belizwe;
5 na moka se, “Bere bɛn na ɔsram foforo betwa mu ama yɛatɔn aduan, na Homeda bɛba awiei ama yɛadi awi gua?” Sɛ mobɛhyɛ susukoraa mu na moatoto ɔbo so na mode nsania a wɔamia mu asisi atɔfo,
elithi: Ukuthwasa kwenyanga kuzadlula nini ukuze sithengise amabele? lesabatha ukuze sivule ingqoloyi, sisenza i-efa libe lincinyane, sisenza ishekeli libe likhulu, siphambanisa izilinganiso zenkohliso.
6 na mode dwetɛ atɔ ahiafo na mmɔborɔfo nso moatɔn wɔn agye mpaboa, na moapra awi ase afra awi mu atɔn.
Ukuze sithenge abayanga ngesiliva, loswelayo ngamanyathela amabili, yebo sithengise amakhoba amabele?
7 Awurade de Yakob ahohoahoa aka ntam se: “Me werɛ remfi biribiara a wɔayɛ da.
INkosi ifungile ngobukhosi bukaJakobe: Isibili kangiyikukhohlwa zonke izenzo zabo kuze kube nininini.
8 “Asase renwosow wɔ nea asi yi ho ana, na wɔn a wɔte mu nyinaa rentwa adwo ana? Asase no nyinaa bɛma ne ho so te sɛ Nil ebubu afa so, na asan atwe bio te sɛ Misraim asubɔnten.”
Kawuyikuqhaqhazela yini umhlaba ngalokhu, alile laye wonke ohlala kuwo? Yebo ukhukhumale wonke njengomfula, uphoseke le lale utshone njengomfula weGibhithe.
9 Sɛnea Otumfo Awurade se ni, “Saa da no, mɛma owia atɔ owigyinae, na mama sum aduru asase so awia ketee.
Kuzakuthi-ke ngalolosuku, itsho iNkosi uJehova, ngizatshonisa ilanga emini enkulu, ngenze umhlaba ube mnyama emini ekhanyayo.
10 Mɛdan mo nyamesom aponto ama ayɛ awerɛhowdi na mo nnwonto nyinaa adan osu. Mɛma mo nyinaa afura atweaatam na mayi mo tinwi. Mɛyɛ saa da no te sɛ ɔba koro ho awerɛhowdida na awiei no ayɛ sɛ da a ɛyɛ nwen.
Ngiphendule imikhosi yenu ibe yikulila, lengoma zenu zonke zibe yisililo, ngilethe isaka enkalweni zonke, lempabanga ekhanda lonke, ngikwenze kube njengesililo sendodana eyodwa, lokucina kwalo njengosuku olubabayo.
11 “Nna no reba” sɛnea Otumfo Awurade se ni, “Mɛma ɔkɔm aba asase no so, ɛnyɛ aduankɔm anaa osukɔm, na mmom, Awurade asɛm ho kɔm.
Khangela, insuku ziyeza, itsho iNkosi uJehova, lapho ngizathumela indlala elizweni, kungabi yindlala yokudla, kungabi ngeyokomela amanzi, kodwa eyokuzwa amazwi eNkosi.
12 Nnipa bɛtɔ ntintan akyinkyin afi po so akɔ po so, na wɔakyinkyin afi atifi fam akɔ apuei fam, sɛ wɔrekɔhwehwɛ Awurade asɛm, nanso wɔrenhu.
Njalo bazazula kusukela elwandle kuze kube selwandle, njalo kusukela enyakatho kuze kube sempumalanga, bagijimele le lale ukudinga ilizwi leNkosi, kodwa bengalitholi.
13 “Na saa da no “mmabaa ahoɔfɛfo ne mmarimaa ahoɔdenfo bɛtotɔ beraw esiane osukɔm nti.
Ngalolosuku intombi ezimsulwa ezinhle lamajaha azaqaleka ngenxa yokoma.
14 Wɔn a wɔde Samaria aniwu abosom ka ntam, anaa wɔde Dan ne Beer-Seba abosom ka ntam no, wɔbɛhwehwe ase na wɔrensɔre bio.”
Labo abafunga ngecala leSamariya bathi: Kuphila kukankulunkulu wakho, Dani; lokuthi: Kuphila kwendlela yeBherishebha; bazakuwa-ke, bangabe besavuka.
