UAMOS 4

Abafazi baseSamariya

1Liphulaphuleni eli lizwi, bafazindini basezintabeni zaseSamariya,

zintondini ezityebe okweemazi zeenkomo zaseBhashan,

nina nicinezela iindwayi, niwaxhaphaze amahlwempu,

ezi zinto zithi kumadoda azo: “Thungani sisele!”

2Ifunge ubungcwele bayo iNkosi *uNdikhoyo, yathi:

“Seyinifikele imini yokuqweqwediswa kwenu nirhuqwa ngamagwegwe,

abantwana benu betsalwa ngomlobothi.

3Niya kukhutshwa ngeemfanta zeendonga ezilungelelene nani;

niya kulahlwa kweziya ntaba zaseHarmon.”

Nguwo lowo umlomo kaNdikhoyo.

Iinkani zamaSirayeli

4“Yiyani eBhetele, none;

niye naseGiligali, nigabadele ukona;

nivuke mihla le nisondeze amadini;

nizise izishumi qho ngosuku lwesithathu!

5Zitshiseni izonka ezinegwele zibe ngumnikelo wombulelo,

nibhengeze iminikelo yenu yokuqhutywa yintliziyo,

nihambe niqhayisa ngaloo nto.

Nantso ke into enikholwa yiyo, nina maSirayeli.”

Nguwo lowo umlomo kaNdikhoyo.

6“Ndanizisela indlala ezixekweni zenu zonke,

akwabikho nesuntswana eli lesonka emizini yenu,

kodwa anibuyelanga kum.”

Nguwo lowo umlomo kaNdikhoyo.

7“Ndim ozise imbalela iinyanga ezintathu phambi kwesivuno,

ndanisa imvula kule dolophu, ndayishiya leya;

yanetha kule intsimi, enye ndayishiya ibharhile.

8Basuka kule dolophu baya kuleya abantu,

befuna amanzi okusela,

suka akabanela.

Kodwa phezu koko anibuyelanga kum.”

Nguwo lowo umlomo kaNdikhoyo.

9“Ndahlisa ulophu olutshisayo nomngundane,

zazitsho zee waca izityalo nezidiliya zenu,

iinkumbi zawanqunqutha amakhiwane enu nemithi yeminquma.

Phezu koko anibuyelanga kum.”

Nguwo lowo umlomo kaNdikhoyo.

10“Ndanihlisela isibetho esifana nesaseJiputa,

oonyana benu bawa ngekrele edabini

kunye namadoda akhwela amahashe.

Zanuka phu iikampu zenu liphunga lezidumbu zabo,

suka nina anabuyela kum.”

Nguwo lowo umlomo kaNdikhoyo.

11“Abanye benu ndababhubhisa ngalaa ndlela ndabhubhisa iSodom neGomora ngayo.

Nina nasinda ngathi sisikhuni sixwilwe emlilweni,

kodwa anifuni kude nibuyele kum.”

Nguwo lowo umlomo kaNdikhoyo.

12“Ke ngoko, Sirayeli, ndophinda ndikwenze konke oku.

Ke, njengoko ndiza kwenjenjalo,

zilungiseleleni, maSirayeli, ukuhlangana noThixo wenu.”

13Ulodala iintaba, adal' umoya,

ulozityhilayo iinjongo zakhe eluntwini,

ulojik' umsobomvu kuvel' urhatyazo,

ulonyathela imimango ephakamileyo yomhlaba,

nguNdikhoyo uThixo onamandla onke igama lakhe.

UAMOS 5

Iwile intombi enguSirayeli

1Liveni ilizwi lam, ndlu kaSirayeli;

nditsho esi sililo ndisenzayo ngenxa yenu:

2“Iwile bhaxa, ayiyi kube ivuke intombi enguSirayeli!

Ithe qungqululu yodwa kumhlaba wakowayo,

kungekho bani wokuyiphakamisa.”

3Itsho kaloku iNkosi *uNdikhoyo ukuthi:

“Kuya kusinda ikhulu kuloo dolophu ithumela iwaka edabini,

kusinde ishumi lamaSirayeli kuleyo ithumela ikhulu lamadoda.”

USirayeli makayifune iNkosi uNdikhoyo

4Utsho ke *uNdikhoyo kwindlu kaSirayeli ukuthi:

“Quqelani kum, niphile.

5Musani ukuquqela eBhetele,

ningayi naseGiligali,

ningatyeleli eBheshebha,

kuba abantu baseGiligali baza kuthinjwa,

iBhetele ingabi nto yanto.”

6Quqelani kuNdikhoyo, niphile,

kungenjalo uya kuza evutha,

ayitshise iphele indlu kaJosefu,

kungekho nabani eBhetele ongawucimayo loo mlilo.

7Nina nigqwetha ubulungisa bube krakra njengekhala,

nibukhahlele phantsi eluthulini.

8Ulomenzi woomakroza noozilimela,

ulojik' isithokothoko sobumnyama sibe ngumsobomvu, nemini ibe yintsunguzi yobusuku,

ulovulela amanz' olwandle ankcenkceshe ngawo umhlaba,

nguNdikhoyo igama lakhe.

9Nguye umtshabalalisi wezigantsontso;

nguye umdilizi weenqaba zazo.

Quqelani kokulungileyo

10Niyamcaphukela umntu othanda ubulungisa ezinkundleni,

nilithiye ingqina elidandalazisa inyaniso.

11Njengoko niwacinezela amahlwempu,

niwarhumisa nangengqolowa ayivunileyo,

anisobe nizihlale ezo zindlu zenu zamatye aqingqiweyo,

ningasobe niyisele newayini evela kwezo zidiliya zenu zinqwenelekayo.

12Ndiyabazi kaloku ubuninzi bobugwenxa benu

nobukhulu bezono zenu.

Nitshutshisa abantu abamsulwa;

niyakuthanda nokunyotywa.

Amahlwempu niyawavala angeviwa ezinkudleni zenu.

13Yiyo ke loo nto zona izilumko zisuka ziwuvale owazo zingathethi,

kuba eli lixesha lezinto ezimanyumnyezi.

14Quqelani kokulungileyo, ingekuko okubi,

khon' ukuze niphile,

naye uNdikhoyo, uThixo onamandla onke, abe phakathi kwenu,

njengoko nizingca ngaloo nto.

15Inkohlakalo yithiyeni,

nithande ukwenza okuhle,

nivuselele ubulungisa ezinkundleni zenu,

mhlawumbi uNdikhoyo, uThixo onamandla onke, angaba nenceba kumasalela endlu kaJosefu.

16Ngoko ke utsho uNdikhoyo, uThixo onamandla onke, iNkosi, ukuthi:

“Koba sisijwili kwiindawo zonke zembutho;

ezitalatweni zonke ibe ngooyoo-yoo zizikhalo.

Kobizwa kwanabalimi ukuza kulila,

kumenywe nabazili ukuza kubhomboloza.

17Koba seso sijwili nakwizidiliya zenu,

kuba ndobe ndize kunohlwaya.”

Utsho uNdikhoyo.

Imini kaNdikhoyo

18Mawoo kwabo balangazelela imini *kaNdikhoyo!

Ngaba kanene kuni loo mini yoba yimini enjani?

Imini kaNdikhoyo yoba sisithokothoko sobumnyama, ingabi kukukhanya.

19Koba ngathi umntu ubaleka ingonyama,

aye kugagana nebhere.

Koba ngathi umntu ungena endlwini, abambelele eludongeni,

suka alunywe yinyoka kweso sandla.

20Imini kaNdikhoyo iya kuba bubumnyama, ingabi kukukhanya.

Yoba sisithokothoko sentsunguzi engenalitha.

21“Ndiwathiyile, ndiwacekisa amatheko enu,

andinamdla konke yimisitho yenu.

22Loo madini atshiswayo niwenzayo, kunye naloo minikelo yenu yeenkozo, andiyi kuyamkela;

andiyi kuyisa so konke iminikelo yenu yobudlelane yeenkomo ezityetyisiweyo.

23Niyandifundekela ngezo ngoma zenu;

andifuni nokusiva isandi sezo hapu zenu.

24Makuqukuqele ukunyaniseka njengomlambo,

nobulungisa njengomsinga ongatshiyo.

25“Ndlu kaSirayeli, yayingendim enanimxhelela,

nimenzela amadini iminyaka emashumi mane entlango.

26Ngoku ke niza kuyithwala loo mifanekiso kaSikuti, loo kumkani wenu,

kunye nokaKiyuni, inkwenkwezi yothixo wenu enazenzelayo,

27kuba ndizimisele ukunigxothela kude lee ngaphaya kweDamasko,

apho niya kuba ngabathinjwa khona.”

Utsho uNdikhoyo.

NguThixo onamandla onke igama lakhe.

UAMOS 6

Ukutshatyalaliswa kwamaSirayeli

1Mawoo! Lusizi okwenu, nina bantundini bathe zava eZiyon,

nina nizicingelayo ukuba nikhuselekile kwintaba yaseSamariya –

nditsho nina, zindwalutho zesizwe,

nina kuziwa kuni ngabantu bakwaSirayeli.

2Khanenjenjeya niye kuvelela iKalene,

nidlule apho niye kwesaa sixekokazi iHamati,

nihle nibheke eGati isixeko samaFilistiya.

Ngaba loo mimandla iyidlula ngantoni eyenu?

Ngaba kanene loo mihlaba mikhulu kuneyenu na?

3Nina niwubekela kude umhla weshwangusha,

kanti nisondeza ukulawulwa lugonyamelo.

4Nithe zukumfa kwiibhedi ezihonjiswe ngamabamba eendlovu,

nee ngqendevu kwezo sofa zenu,

nisitya eyona nyama ikhethiweyo yegusha nenkomo.

5Nivukwa yinkenkqe yakutsho ihapu,

niqambe ingoma nixelise uDavide.

6Nizibetha zichuchumale iindebe yiwayini,

niziqhole ngawexabiso amafutha,

ningabi nantlungu ngokutshabalala kwendlu kaJosefu.

7Ngoko ke kuya kuqala kuthinjwe nina,

aphele loo matheko enithe zava kuwo.

8INkosi *uNdikhoyo ifunge igama layo;

ewe, nguwo lo umlomo kaNdikhoyo, uThixo onamandla onke,

uthi: “Ndiyalicekisa ikratshi lenzala kaYakobi;

ndithiye nkqu loo mabhotwe bahlala kuwo.

Ke ngoko isixeko nako konke okukuso ndiza kusinikela kwiintshaba.”

9Kumzi ekukho ishumi lamadoda kuwo, aya kufa. 10Siya kuthi isizalwana esingcwabayo xa siphakamisa isidumbu sisikhuphela ngaphandle ukuze sitshise amathambo, sakubiza umntu osengontsini yendlu sisithi: “Ngaba uwedwa apho?” aze athi: “Ndindedwa!” isizalwana eso sithi: “Yithi cwaka; igama likaNdikhoyo malingakhankanywa kule nto.”

11Niyabona, uthethile uNdikhoyo;

umzi omkhulu uwudiliza ube ngamabhodlo

nomncinane ube ziintanda.

12Akhe aphale na amahashe emaweni?

Ngaba ukho olima apho ngeenkabi zeenkomo?

Kodwa nina ubulungisa nibujike baba yityhefu,

nokunyaniseka nakutsho kwaba likhala elikrakrayo.

13Nivuyiswa kukuthimba iLodabhare,

futhi niqhayisa ngokuthi iKarnayim nayoyisa ngamandla enu.

14Nguwo lo umlomo kaNdikhoyo, uThixo onamandla onke,

uthi: “MaSirayeli, ndinizisela isizwe!

Siza kuniphatha gadalala ukususa kulaa ngxingwa yaseHamati

kude kuye kutsho kulaa ntili ingaseArabha.”
