Amos 1
1 Amos, Tekoa nnwanhwɛfoɔ no mu baako nsɛm nie. Ɔnyaa saa anisoadehunu yi a ɛfa Israel ho mfeɛ mmienu ansa na asase wosooɛ no, ɛberɛ a Usia di ɔhene wɔ Yuda na Yoas babarima Yeroboam nso di ɔhene wɔ Israel no.
La ngamazwi ka-Amosi, omunye wabelusi baseThekhowa, lokho akubonayo mayelana lo-Israyeli eminyakeni emibili ngaphambi kokuzamazama komhlaba, ngezinsuku u-Uziya eyinkosi yakoJuda loJerobhowamu indodana kaJowashi eyinkosi yako-Israyeli.
2 Ɔkaa sɛ: “Awurade bobom firi Sion bepɔ so na ɔde aprannaa nnyegyeeɛ nso firi Yerusalem; nnwanhwɛfoɔ mmoa adidibea rehye na Karmel atifi nso kusa.”
Wathi: “UThixo uyavungama eseZiyoni, idume iJerusalema; amadlelo abelusi ayoma lengqongo yeKhameli iyabuna.”
3 Deɛ Awurade seɛ nie: “Damasko ayɛ bɔne bebree ama no atra so ɛno enti, merennane mʼabufuo. Ɛfiri sɛ, ɔde ayuporeeɛ adeɛ a ɛwɔ dadeɛ se dwerɛɛ Gilead.
Nanku okutshiwo nguThixo: “Ngenxa yezono ezintathu zeDamaseko, loba ngenxa yezine, kangiyikulunqanda ulaka lwami. Ngenxa yokuthi yatshaya iGiliyadi ngemibhulo elamazinyo ensimbi,
4 Mede ogya bɛto Hasael efie na ahye Ben-Hadad aban no.
ngizathumela umlilo endlini kaHazayeli ozalobisa izinqaba zikaBheni-Hadadi.
5 Mɛbubu Damasko apono, na mɛsɛe ɔhene a ɔwɔ Awen bɔnhwa no mu no ne deɛ ɔkura ahempoma wɔ Bet Eden no. Na Aramfoɔ bɛkɔ nnommumfa mu wɔ Kir,” sɛdeɛ Awurade seɛ nie.
Ngizabhidliza isango laseDamaseko; ngizachitha inkosi ephakathi kweSigodi sase-Aveni lalowo ophethe intonga yobukhosi eBhethi Edeni. Abantu base-Aramu bazathunjwa basiwe eKhiri,” kutsho uThixo.
6 Deɛ Awurade seɛ nie: “Gasa ayɛ bɔne bebree ama no atra so, ɛno enti, merennane mʼabufuo no. Ɔfaa ɔman mu no nyinaa nnommum na ɔtɔnee wɔn maa Edomfoɔ.
Nanku okutshiwo nguThixo: “Ngenxa yezono ezintathu zeGaza loba ngenxa yezine, kangiyikulunqanda ulaka lwami ngenxa yokuthi yathumba abantu bezigaba zonke yabathengisa e-Edomi,
7 Mede ogya bɛto Gasa afasuo mu, na ahye nʼaban no.
ngizathumela umlilo emidulini yaseGaza ozalobisa izinqaba zayo.
8 Mɛsɛe Asdod ɔhene no ne deɛ ɔkura ahempoma wɔ Askelon no. Mɛdane me nsa atia Ekron, kɔsi sɛ Filistini a ɔtwa toɔ no bɛwu,” sɛdeɛ Asafo Awurade seɛ nie.
Ngizayichitha inkosi yase-Ashidodi kanye lalowo ophatha intonga yobukhosi e-Ashikheloni. Ngizaphendulela isandla sami ekuhlaseleni i-Ekroni kuze kufe umFilistiya wokucina,” kutsho uThixo Wobukhosi.
9 Deɛ Awurade seɛ nie: “Tiro ayɛ bɔne bebree ama no atra so, ɛno enti, merennane mʼabufuo. Ɔfaa ɔman mu no nnommum na ɔtɔnee wɔn maa Edomfoɔ, a wankae onuadɔ apam.
Nanku okutshiwo nguThixo: “Ngenxa yezono ezintathu zaseThire loba ngenxa yezine, kangiyikulunqanda ulaka lwami. Ngenxa yokuthi yabathengisela e-Edomi bonke abantu bezigaba zonke ezathunjwayo inganaki isivumelwano sobuzalwane,
10 Mede ogya bɛto Tiro afasuo no mu, na ahye nʼaban.”
ngizathumela umlilo emidulini yaseThire ozalobisa izinqaba zayo.”
11 Deɛ Awurade seɛ nie: “Edom ayɛ bɔne bebree ama no atra so, ɛno enti, merennane mʼabufuo. Ɔde akofena taataa ne nua, a wannya ayamhyehyeɛ biara. Ɛfiri sɛ ne bo kɔɔ so fuiɛ na obiara antumi annwodwo nʼabufuo no ano.
Nanku okutshiwo nguThixo: “Ngenxa yezono ezintathu zase-Edomi loba ngenxa yezine, kangiyikulunqanda ulaka lwami. Ngenxa yokuthi waxotshana lomfowabo ngenkemba, enqabela isihawu sonke, ngoba ulaka lwakhe lwavutha kokuphela lentukuthelo yakhe yabhebha ingelakuthitshwa,
12 Mede ogya bɛto Teman mu, na ahye Bosra aban.”
ngizathumela umlilo eThemani ozalobisa izinqaba zaseBhozira.”
13 Sɛdeɛ Awurade seɛ nie: “Amon ayɛ bɔne bebree ama no atra so, ɛno enti, merennane mʼabufuo. Ɔde akofena paepaee Gilead apemfoɔ yafunu mu de trɛɛ nʼahyeɛ mu.
Nanku okutshiwo nguThixo: “Ngenxa yezono ezintathu zase-Amoni, loba langenxa yezine, kangiyikulunqanda ulaka lwami. Ngenxa yokuthi waqhaqha abesifazane abazithweleyo baseGiliyadi ukuze aqhelise ilizwe lakhe,
14 Mede ogya bɛto Raba afasuo mu na ahye nʼaban wɔ ɔko da mu nteateam ne ahum da ntwaho mframa mu.
ngizathungela imiduli yaseRaba ngomlilo ozalobisa izinqaba zayo kumenyezelwa izitsho zempi ngosuku lokulwa kulomoya olamandla ngosuku lwesiphepho.
15 Na ne ɔhene ne mmapɔmma bɛbom akɔ nnommumfa mu,” sɛdeɛ Awurade seɛ nie.
Inkosi yalo izathunjwa, yona kanye lezikhulu zayo,” kutsho uThixo.
