Intshayelelo

1¹La ngamazwi ka-Amos, owayengomnye wabafuyi baseTekowa, abhekiselele koko wakubonayo ngokuphathelele kumaSirayeli, ngexesha u-Uziya2 Kum 15:1-7; 2 Gan 26:1-23 wayengukumkani kwaJuda, yena uJerobhowam2 Kum 14:23-29 unyana kaJowashe engukumkani kwaSirayeli, iminyaka emibini phambi kwenyikima.

²Wathetha wenjenje uAmos:

“*UNdikhoyo angabharhumla kwintab' iZiyon,

iziwi lakhe lingazongoma livela ngaseJerusalem,Jow 3:16

amadlelo atsho abharhe,

yona incopho yentaba iKarmele itshaze.”

³Utsho *uNdikhoyo ukuthi:

“Nokuba iDamaskoIsaya 17:1-3; Jer 49:23-27; Zakar 9:1 yayone izihlandlo zazithathu

ngendingasirhoxisanga isohlwayo sam.

Kambe ke suke yagqithisa ngokona isihlandlo sesine.

Kaloku ibhule iGiliyadi ngesileyi sokubhula esimazinyo ayintsimbi.

⁴Ngoko ke ndiza kulintumeka ngomlilo ibhotwe likaHazayeli,

zitshe ziphele nqu iinqaba zikaBhenadadi.

⁵Ndiza kuwadiliza amasango aseDamasko,

ndibasiphule neengcambu abemi bentili yaseAven

kunye nezo ziphathamandla zaseBhete-eden.

Ama-AramOko kukuthi “amaSiriya” aya kuthinjwa, asiwe eKire.”

Utsho uNdikhoyo.

ngendingasirhoxisanga isohlwayo sam.

Kambe ke suke yagqithisa ngokona isihlandlo sesine.

Kaloku bona bathimba isizwe siphela,

basithengisa saba ngamakhoboka kwaEdom.

⁷Ngoko ke ndiza kuluntumeka ngomlilo udonga lwaseGaza,

zitshe ziphele nqu iinqaba zalapho,

⁸ndibasiphule neengcambu abemi baseAshdode

kunye nezo ziphathamandla zaseAshkelon,

Kaloku wona awaqweqwedisa ngekrele amawabo,

ayitsho yaphela tu imfobe yokuzalana,
