U-Amosi

1 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 Wathi:
UThixo uyavungama eseZiyoni,
idume iJerusalema;
amadlelo abelusi ayoma
lengqongo yeKhameli iyabuna.”
Ukwahlulelwa Kwabakhelene Lo-Israyeli
3 Nanku okutshiwo nguThixo:
“Ngenxa yezono ezintathu zeDamaseko,
loba ngenxa yezine,
kangiyikulunqanda ulaka lwami.
Ngenxa yokuthi yatshaya iGiliyadi
ngemibhulo elamazinyo ensimbi,
4 ngizathumela umlilo endlini kaHazayeli
ozalobisa izinqaba zikaBheni-Hadadi.
5 Ngizabhidliza isango laseDamaseko;
ngizachitha inkosi ephakathi kweSigodi sase-Aveni
lalowo ophethe intonga yobukhosi eBhethi Edeni.
Abantu base-Aramu bazathunjwa
basiwe eKhiri,”
kutsho uThixo.

6 Nanku okutshiwo nguThixo:

“Ngenxa yezono ezintathu zeGaza
loba ngenxa yezine,
kangiyikulunqanda ulaka lwami
ngenxa yokuthi yathumba abantu bezigaba zonke
yabathengisa e-Edomi,
7 ngizathumela umlilo emidulini yaseGaza
ozalobisa izinqaba zayo.
8 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 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 ngizathumela umlilo emidulini yaseThire
ozalobisa izinqaba zayo.”

11 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 ngizathumela umlilo eThemani
ozalobisa izinqaba zaseBhozira.”

13 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 ngizathungela imiduli yaseRaba ngomlilo
ozalobisa izinqaba zayo
kumenyezelwa izitsho zempi ngosuku lokulwa
kulomoya olamandla ngosuku lwesiphepho.
15 Inkosi yalo izathunjwa,
yona kanye lezikhulu zayo,”
kutsho uThixo.
