< 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 lelilizwi iNkosi elikhulume imelene lani, lina bantwana bakoIsrayeli, imelene losendo lonke engalwenyusa elizweni leGibhithe, isithi:
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 engilaziyo kuzo zonke izinsendo zomhlaba; ngakho-ke ngizaphindisela phezu kwenu bonke ububi benu.
3 Nnipa baanu bɛtumi abom anante, wɔ ɛberɛ a wɔnyɛɛ anokorɔ anaa?
Ababili bangahamba kanyekanye yini ngaphandle kokuthi behlangene?
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?
Kambe isilwane singabhonga ehlathini singelampango? Ibhongo lesilwane lingakhupha ilizwi lalo ebhalwini lwalo lingabambanga lutho yini?
5 Anomaa bɛtɔ afidie mu wɔ fam wɔ baabi a wɔnnsum afidie anaa? Afidie hwan wɔ ɛberɛ a ɛnyii aboa anaa?
Inyoni ingawela emjibileni emhlabeni lapho okungelasifu sayo khona yini? Umjibila ungathanya yini emhlabathini uba ungabambanga ulutho?
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?
Uphondo lungavuthelwa yini emzini abantu bangethuki? Kulobubi yini emzini iNkosi engabenzanga?
7 Ampa ara, Otumfoɔ Awurade nnyɛ biribi a ɔnna ne nhyehyeɛ adi nkyerɛ nʼAsomafoɔ adiyifoɔ no.
Isibili iNkosi uJehova kayenzi lutho ngaphandle kokuthi yembule icebo layo eliyimfihlo encekwini zayo abaprofethi.
8 Gyata no abobom, hwan na ɔnnsuro? Otumfoɔ Awurade akasa, hwan na ɔrenhyɛ ho nkɔm?
Isilwane sesibhongile, ngubani ongayikwesaba? INkosi uJehova isikhulumile, ngubani ongayikuprofetha?
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.”
Zwakalisani ezigodlweni zeAshidodi lezigodlweni zelizwe leGibhithe, lithi: Buthanani phezu kwezintaba zeSamariya, libone iziphithiphithi ezinkulu phakathi kwayo labacindezelwayo phakathi kwayo.
10 “Wɔnnim sɛdeɛ wɔyɛ deɛ ɛyɛ,” sɛdeɛ Awurade seɛ nie. Wɔde nneɛma a wɔafo ne deɛ wɔawia sie wɔ wɔn aban mu.
Ngoba kabakwazi ukwenza okuqondileyo, itsho iNkosi, ababuthelela udlakela lencithakalo ezigodlweni zabo.
11 Ɛno enti, yei ne deɛ Otumfoɔ Awurade seɛ, “Ɔtamfoɔ bi bɛtwi afa asase no so; Ɔbɛbubu wʼabanbɔeɛ agu, na wafo wʼaban.”
Ngakho itsho njalo iNkosi uJehova: Isitha, esizazingelezela ilizwe, esizakwehlisa amandla akho kuwe, lezigodlo zakho ziphangwe.
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.”
Itsho njalo iNkosi: Njengalokho umelusi esophula imilenze emibili emlonyeni wesilwane, loba isiqa sendlebe, ngokunjalo abantwana bakoIsrayeli abahlala eSamariya bazakophulwa egumbini lombheda ledamaseko yethala.
13 “Tie yei, na di adanseɛ tia Yakob efie,” sɛdeɛ Awurade, Asafo Awurade Onyankopɔn seɛ nie.
Zwanini lifakaze endlini kaJakobe, itsho iNkosi uJehova uNkulunkulu wamabandla,
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.
ukuthi mhla ngizaphindisela iziphambeko zikaIsrayeli phezu kwakhe, ngizaphindisela futhi phezu kwamalathi eBhetheli, lempondo zelathi 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.
Ngizatshaya indlu yebusika kanye lendlu yehlobo, lezindlu zempondo zendlovu zizabhubha, lezindlu ezinkulu ziphele; itsho iNkosi.
