< Amos 3 >
1 Montie saa asɛm a Awurade aka atia mo yi, Ao, Israelfoɔ, deɛ ɛtia abusua a meyii wɔn firii Misraim no nyinaa:
Zwanini ilizwi elikhulunywe nguThixo ngani lina bantu bako-Israyeli Lomndeni wonke engawukhupha eGibhithe:
2 “Mo nko ara na mayi mo wɔ mmusua a ɛwɔ asase so nyinaa mu; enti mɛtwe mo aso wɔ mo bɔne nyinaa ho.”
“Yini kuphela engalikhethayo kuyo yonke imideni yasemhlabeni; ngakho ngizalijezisela zonke izono zenu.”
3 Nnipa baanu bɛtumi abom anante, wɔ ɛberɛ a wɔnyɛɛ anokorɔ anaa?
Ababili bayahamba bendawonye ngaphandle kokuba bevumelene ukwenzanjalo na?
4 Gyata bobom wɔ dɔtɔ ase wɔ ɛberɛ a ɔnhunuu ahaboa biara anaa? Ɔpɔ so wɔ ne buo mu wɔ ɛberɛ a ɔnkyeree ahaboa biara anaa?
Isilwane siyabhonga ehlathini kungelalutho esingalubamba na? Siyabhonga esikhundleni saso singabambanga lutho na?
5 Anomaa bɛtɔ afidie mu wɔ fam wɔ baabi a wɔnnsum afidie anaa? Afidie hwan wɔ ɛberɛ a ɛnyii aboa anaa?
Inyoni iyabanjwa emhlabathini okungelamjibila othiywe khona na? Umjibila uyathanca usuke emhlabathini kungelalutho olubambayo na?
6 Sɛ wɔhyɛn totorobɛnto wɔ kuropɔn mu a nnipa no ho mpopo anaa? Sɛ atoyerɛnkyɛm ba kuropɔn bi mu a ɛnyɛ Awurade na ɔyɛeɛ anaa?
Lapho icilongo likhala edolobheni abantu kabethuki na? Lapho incithakalo isehlela idolobho kayenziwanga nguThixo na?
7 Ampa ara, Otumfoɔ Awurade nnyɛ biribi a ɔnna ne nhyehyeɛ adi nkyerɛ nʼAsomafoɔ adiyifoɔ no.
Impela uThixo Wobukhosi kenzi lutho engavezanga icebo lakhe ezincekwini zakhe abaphrofethi.
8 Gyata no abobom, hwan na ɔnnsuro? Otumfoɔ Awurade akasa, hwan na ɔrenhyɛ ho nkɔm?
Isilwane sibhongile, ngubani ongayikwesaba na? UThixo Wobukhosi usekhulumile ngubani ongayekela ukuphrofitha na?
9 Mompae mu nka nkyerɛ Asdod aban ne Misraim aban: “Mommoaboa mo ho ano wɔ Samaria mmepɔ so; hwɛ basabasayɛ a ɛwɔ ne so ne nhyɛsoɔ a ɛwɔ ne nkurɔfoɔ mu.”
Memezelani ezinqabeni zase-Ashidodi lasezinqabeni zaseGibhithe lithi: “Buthanani phezu kwezintaba zaseSamariya; libone isiyaluyalu esikhulu phakathi kwayo lokuncindezela phakathi kwabantu bayo.”
10 “Wɔnnim sɛdeɛ wɔyɛ deɛ ɛyɛ,” sɛdeɛ Awurade seɛ nie. Wɔde nneɛma a wɔafo ne deɛ wɔawia sie wɔ wɔn aban mu.
“Kabakwazi ukwenza okulungileyo,” kutsho uThixo, “bona ababuthelela impango baphange lasezinqabeni zabo.”
11 Ɛno enti, yei ne deɛ Otumfoɔ Awurade seɛ, “Ɔtamfoɔ bi bɛtwi afa asase no so; Ɔbɛbubu wʼabanbɔeɛ agu, na wafo wʼaban.”
Ngakho uThixo Wobukhosi uthi: “Isitha sizachitha ilizwe; sizadiliza izinqaba zenu, siphange izinqaba zenu.”
12 Deɛ Awurade seɛ nie: “Sɛdeɛ odwanhwɛfoɔ gye nnyawa mmienu nnompe anaa aso sin firi gyata anom no, saa ara na wɔbɛgye Israelfoɔ nkwa, wɔn a wɔtete wɔn mpa twea so wɔ Samaria, ne wɔn a wɔdeda nkonwa pa mu wɔ Damasko.”
Nanku okutshiwo nguThixo: “Njengomelusi ehlenga emlonyeni wesilwane amathambo amabili kuphela omlenze loba isiqa sendlebe, bazahlengwa kanjalo abako-Israyeli abahlala eSamariya bethithibele ekucineni kwemibheda yabo, kanye laseDamaseko phezu kwemibheda yabo yokuphumulela.”
13 “Tie yei, na di adanseɛ tia Yakob efie,” sɛdeɛ Awurade, Asafo Awurade Onyankopɔn seɛ nie.
“Zwanini lokhu lifakaze ngendlu kaJakhobe,” kutsho iNkosi, uThixo uNkulunkulu uSomandla.
14 “Ɛda a mɛtwe Israel aso wɔ ne nnebɔne ho no, mɛsɛe afɔrebukyia a ɛwɔ Bet-El; wɔbɛtwitwa afɔrebukyia no mmɛn na abu ahwe fam.
“Ngosuku engizajezisela u-Israyeli izono zakhe ngizabhidliza ama-alithare aseBhetheli; impondo ze-alithare zizaqunywa ziwele emhlabathini.
15 Mɛdwiri awɔberɛ efie ne ahuhuro berɛ efie agu; na afie a wɔde asonse adura ho no wɔbɛsɛe no na afie akɛseɛ no nso wɔbɛbubu agu,” sɛdeɛ Awurade seɛ nie.
Ngizadiliza indlu yebusika kanye lendlu yehlobo, izindlu eziceciswe ngempondo zendlovu zizadilizwa lezindlu ezinkulu zizabhidlizwa,” kutsho uThixo.
