2:7 bona abo bazondayo ukuba intloko yezisweli ibe nothuli lomhlaba, bayijike indlela yabalulamileyo; umntu noyise baya ntombini-nye, ukuze balihlambele igama lam elingcwele;
2:8 banaba phezu kweengubo ezisisibambiso ngasezibingelelweni zonke, basela iwayini yabahlawulisiweyo endlwini yothixo wabo.
2:9 Kanti mna ndamtshabalalisa ebusweni babo umAmori, obude bunjengobude bemisedare, obeliqele njengemioki; ndasitshabalalisa isiqhamo sakhe ngaphezulu, neengcambu zakhe ngaphantsi.
2:10 Ke mna ndaninyusa ezweni laseYiputa, ndanikhokela entlango iminyaka emashumi mane, ukuze nilihluthe ilizwe lomAmori.
2:11 Ndavelisa koonyana benu abokuba ngabaprofeti, nakumadodana enu abokuba ngabazahlulileyo. Hi, akunjalo na, nyana bakaSirayeli? utsho uYehova.
2:12 Ke nisuke nabaseza iwayini abazahlulileyo; abaprofeti nabawisela umthetho wokuthi, Ize ningaprofeti.
2:13 Yabonani, ndiya kunixinzelela phantsi, njengokuba ixinzelelwa phantsi inqwelo ezele zizithungu.
2:14 Wokhohlwa kukusaba onamendu, owomeleleyo angawaqinisi amandla akhe, igorha lingabusindisi ubomi balo.

3:1 Liveni eli lizwi alithethileyo uYehova ngani, nyana bakaSirayeli, ngayo yonke imizalwane endayinyusayo ezweni laseYiputa, lisithi,
3:2 Ndaze nina nedwa emizalwaneni yonke yehlabathi; ngenxa yoko ndiya kubuvelela kuni ubugwenxa benu bonke.
3:3 Bakha bahambe ndawonye na ababini, bengavani?
3:4 Ikha ibharhule na ingonyama ehlathini, ingenanto iyiqwengayo? Ingonyama entsha ikha igqume na emqolombeni wayo, ingabambanga nto?
3:5 Ikha yeyele na intaka esibatheni emhlabeni, kungekho sango liyithiyeleyo? Wojuba na umgibe emhlabeni, ungabambisanga nokubambisa?
3:6 Khona khe sivuthelwe na isigodlo phakathi komzi, bangothuki abantu? Khe bubekho na ububi phakathi komzi, engabenzanga uYehova?
3:7 Inene, ayikhe yenze into iNkosi uYehova, ingathanga iluhlakaze ucweyo lwayo kubakhonzi bayo abaprofeti.
3:8 Ingonyama ibharhule, ngubani na ongoyikiyo? INkosi uYehova ithethile, ngubani na ongayi kuprofeta.
3:9 Memezani ezingxandeni ezinde zaseAshdode, nasezingxandeni ezinde zezwe laseYiputa, nithi, Hlanganisani ezintabeni zelakwaSamari, nibone isaqunge esikhulu esiphakathi kwalo, nabacudisiweyo abasesazulwini salo.
3:10 Kuba abakwazi ukwenza okuthe gca, utsho uYehova, abo bafumba ugonyamelo nobhuqo ezingxandeni zabo ezinde.
3:11 Ngako oko itsho iNkosi uYehova ukuthi, Umbandezeli uya kuba ngeenxa zonke elizweni; uya kuwathoba amandla akho kuwe, ziphangwe iingxande zakho ezinde.
3:12 Utsho uYehova ukuthi, Njengokuba umalusi ehlangula emlonyeni wengonyama ooxhongo ababini, nokuba sisiqwenga sendlebe, baya kwenjiwa njalo ukuhlangulwa oonyana bakaSirayeli, abahlala kwaSamari phezu kwephundu lesingqengqelo, naphezu kweengubo zomandlalo eziluhlobo lweDamasko.
3:13 Yivani, ningqine kwindlu kaYakobi; itsho iNkosi uYehova, uThixo wemikhosi.
3:14 Kuba, mini ndiya kuzivelela izikreqo zendlu kaSirayeli phezu kwayo, ndiya kuzivelela ezibingelelweni zaseBheteli, zixakaxwe iimpondo zesibingelelo, ziwe emhlabeni.
3:15 Ndoyichitha indlu yasebusika, kunye nendlu yasehlotyeni, zitshabalale izindlu zeempondo zeendlovu, ziphele izindlu ezininzi; utsho uYehova.
4:1 Liveni eli lizwi, nina zimazi zaseBhashan, zisezintabeni zakwaSamari, zizicudisayo izisweli, ziwavikivayo amahlwempu, zithi ezinkosini zazo, Zisani sisele.
4:2 INkosi uYehova ifunge ubungcwele bayo, yathi, Yabonani, nizelwa yimihla eniya kuqweqwediswa ngamagwegwe, nabokugqibela kuni ngamaqerhu okubambisa iintlanzi.
4:3 Niya kuphuma ngamathuba okuqhekezwa kodonga, elowo aphume ngelilunge naye, niye kuphoswa eHarmon; utsho uYehova.
4:4 Yiyani eBheteli nikreqe; yiyani eGiligali, nandise ukukreqa; nizise imibingelelo yenu imiso ngemiso, nezishumi zenu kanye ngemihla emithathu;
4:5 niqhumisele umbingelelo wemibulelo ngento enegwele, nimemeze imibingelelo yokuqhutywa yintliziyo; memezani, kuba nithanda njalo, nyana bakaSirayeli; itsho iNkosi uYehova.
4:6 Kananjalo mna ndininike ubumsulwa bamazinyo emizini yenu yonke, nokusweleka kwesonka ezindaweni zenu zonke; anibuyanga nize kum noko; utsho uYehova.
4:7 Kananjalo mna ndayithintela imvula kuni, zisentathu iinyanga zokuba kuvunwe; ndayinisa komnye umzi, andayinisa komnye; esinye isahlulo somhlaba sanelwa yimvula, esinye isahlulo esinganelwanga satsha;
4:8 imizi emibini, emithathu, ibhadulele kumzi omnye, ukuze isele amanzi ingakholwa; anabuya nize kum noko; utsho uYehova.
4:9 Ndanibetha ngembabala nangexoshomba; imiyezo yenu nezidiliya zenu, nemikhiwane yenu, neminquma yenu emininzi, yadliwa yinkumbi enqunquthayo; anabuya nize kum noko utsho uYehova.
4:10 Ndathumela phakathi kwenu indyikitya yokufa, ngokuya kwaseYiputa, ndawabulala ngekrele amadodana enu, kwanamahashe enu angamaxhoba, ndanyusa ukunuka kweminquba yenu, kweza ezimpumlweni zenu; anabuya nize kum noko; utsho uYehova.
4:11 Ndibabhukuqile abanye benu, njengoko wabhukuqa ngako uThixo iSodom neGomora, naba njengesikhuni esinyothulwe emlilweni; anabuya nize kum noko; utsho uYehova.
4:12 Ngako oko ndiya kwenjenje kuwe, Sirayeli; ngokokuba ndiya kwenjenje ke kuwe, zilungiselele ukuhlangabeza uThixo wakho, Sirayeli.
4:13 Ngokuba, yabona, uloyila iintaba, ulodala umoya, uloxelela umntu into okuyiyo ukuthelekelela kwakhe, ulowenza mnyama isifingo, ulonyathela phezu kwemimango yehlabathi: nguYehova uThixo wemikhosi, igama lakhe.
5:1 Liveni eli lizwi ndiliphakamisayo ngani, esi simbonono, ndlu kaSirayeli.
5:2 Iwile, ayisayi kubuya ivuke intombi enguSirayeli; ikhahleleke emhlabeni, akukho uyiphakamisayo,
5:3 Ngokuba itsho iNkosi uYehova ukuthi, Umzi ophuma unewaka, uya kusala nekhulu; ophuma unekhulu, uya kusala neshumi kwindlu kaSirayeli.
5:4 Ngokuba utsho uYehova kwindlu kaSirayeli, ukuthi, Quqelani kum, niphile;
5:5 musani ukuquqela eBheteli, ningangeni eGiligali, ningaweleli niye eBher-shebha; kuba iGiligali, inene, iya kuthinjwa, neBheteli ibe yinto engeyakonto.
5:6 Quqelani kuYehova, naniya kuphila; hleze ayifikele indlu kaYosefu njengomlilo, utshise, kungabikho uwucimela iBheteli,
5:7 nina abo bajika okusesikweni kube ngumhlonyane, babukhahlele phantsi ubulungisa emhlabeni.
5:8 Quqelani kulowenza isiLimela namaKroza, uloguqula ithunzi lokufa libe ngumso, imini ayenze mnyama, ibe bubusuku; ulobiza amanzi olwandle, awathululele phezu komhlaba: nguYehova igama lakhe.
5:9 Ngulotshangazisa imbuqo phezu koliqele, imbuqo iyifikele inqaba.
5:10 Bayamthiya owohlwayayo esangweni, bamenze isikizi othetha okugqibeleleyo.
5:11 Ngako oko, ngenxa yokusigqusha kwenu isisweli, nithabathe kuso unikelo lwengqolowa, niya kwakha izindlu ngamatye aqingqiweyo, ningahlali kuzo; nityale izidiliya ezinqwenelekayo, ningaseli wayini yazo.
5:12 Kuba ndiyazazi izikreqo zenu ukuba zininzi kwazo, nezono zenu ukuba zikhulu kwazo; nibandezela ilungisa, nisamkele isicengo, nisijike isigwebo samahlwempu esangweni.
5:13 Ngako oko, onengqiqo uthe cwaka ngeli xesha; kuba lixesha elibi eli.
5:14 Funani okulungileyo, ningafuni okubi, ukuze niphile; aze uYehova, uThixo wemikhosi, abe nani, njengoko nitshoyo.
5:15 Thiyani okubi, nithande okulungileyo, nimise okusesikweni esangweni; mhlawumbi uYehova, uThixo wemikhosi, wowababala amasalela kaYosefu.
5:16 Ngako oko utsho uYehova, uThixo wemikhosi, iNkosi, ukuthi, Ezindaweni zonke zembutho kukumbambazela; ezitratweni zonke bathi, Yoo! yoo! Babizela umlimi esijwilini, babizela abasaziyo isimema, bathi, Mbambazelani.
5:17 Ezidiliyeni zonke kukumbambazela, ngokuba ndicanda esazulwini sakho; utsho uYehova.
5:18 Yeba ke, nina banqwenela imini kaYehova! Iyintoni na imini kaYehova kuni? Ibubumnyama, ayikukukhanya.
5:19 Injengokuthi umntu abaleke engonyameni, aqubisane nebhere; angene endlwini, abambelele ngesandla eludongeni, inyoka imlume.
5:20 Ayiyi kuba bubumnyama yini na imini kaYehova, ingabi kukukhanya? Ayiyi kuba sisithokothoko, yini na, ingabi nabumhlophe?
5:21 Ndiyithiyile, ndiyayicekisa imithendeleko yenu; andilisezeli ivumba lengqungquthela.
5:22 Ngokuba, xa nithe nandinyusela amadini anyukayo, neminikelo yenu yokudla, akakholeki kum; nombingelelo wenu woxolo wamathole atyetyisiweyo andiwubheki.
5:23 Yisuse kum ingxokozelo yeengoma zakho, nokubetha kwemirhubhe yakho andikuphulaphuli.
5:24 Makugaleleke umgwebo njengamanzi, nobulungisa njengomlambo ongatshiyo.
5:25 Imibingelelo neminikelo yokudla naniyizisa kum yini na entlango, iminyaka emashumi mane, ndlu kaSirayeli?
5:26 Nasuka nathwala umnquba wokumkani wenu, noseko lwemifanekiso yenu, inkwenkwezi yoothixo benu, enazenzelayo.
5:27 Ndiya kuni fudusela kude ke ngaphaya kweDamasko; utsho uYehova; nguThixo wemikhosi igama lakhe.
6:1 Yeha ke abatyeshileyo eZiyon, nabakholose ngentaba yakwaSamari; abadumileyo ngamagama kwintlahlela yeentlanga, eza kubo indlu kaSirayeli!
6:2 Welelani eKalene, nibone; nisuke khona niye eHamati enkulu, nihle niye eGati yamaFilisti; ukuba ilungile na loo mizi kunezikumkani; ukuba mikhulu na imida yayo kunemida yenu.
6:3 Nina, baba imini yokubi ikude, basondeza isihlalo sogonyamelo;
6:4 nina, balele ezingqengqelweni zeempondo zeendlovu, banabe emandlalweni yabo, badle amatakane emhlambini, namathole asesitalini;
6:5 nina, baphololoza kukubetha umrhubhe, bazicingela ukwenza izinto zokuvuma njengoDavide;
6:6 nina, baseli bewayini ngezitya zokutshiza zemibingelelo, bazithambise ngentlahlela yeoli, bangahlabeki kukwaphuka kukaYosefu.
6:7 Ngako oko baya kuthinjwa bemke ngoku, kwasentloko kubathinjwa, iphele ingxobotshane yabanabileyo.
6:8 INkosi uYehova izifungile, utsho uYehova, uThixo wemikhosi; yathi, Lisikizi kum iqhayiya likaYakobi, ndizithiyile iingxande zakhe ezinde; ngako oko ndowunikela umzi nenzaliseko yawo.
6:9 Kuya kuthi, ukuba kuthe kwasala amadoda alishumi ndlwini-nye, afe.
6:10 Umntu wophakanyiswa nguyisekazi, umngcwabi wakhe, ukuba awakhuphe amathambo akhe endlwini, athi kosentla endlwini, Kusekho na okuwe? athi lowo, Akusekho nto; wothi yena, Thwize; ngokuba alingekhankanywa igama likaYehova.
6:11 Ngokuba, uyabona, uYehova uwisa umthetho, bayibethe indlu enkulu ibe ngamavithi, nendlu encinane ibe ziintanda.
6:12 Amahashe ayabaleka na phezu kweengxondorha? bayalima na khona ngeenkomo? ukuba nikujike nje okusesikweni kube bubuhlungu, nesiqhamo sobulungisa sibe ngumhlonyane;
6:13 nina bavuyela okungelutho; bathi, Sizenzela iimpondo ngawethu amandla.
6:14 Ke yabonani, ndinivusela uhlanga, ndlu kaSirayeli; utsho uYehova, uThixo wemikhosi; luya kunixina, luthabathele ekuyiweni eHamati, luse esihlanjeni seArabha.
7:1 Yenjenje ukundibonisa iNkosi uYehova: Yabona, idala imiqikela yeenkumbi ekuqalekeni kokuhluma kwesihlabane sotyani; naso isihlabane eso, emva kokusikelwa kokumkani ingca.
7:2 Kwathi, yakugqiba ukuyidla imifuno yelizwe, ndathi mna, Nkosi Yehova, khawuxolele; wothini na uYakobi ukuma? kuba mncinane yena.
7:3 Wazohlwaya uYehova ngenxa yoko: Oko akuyi kubakho; watsho uYehova.
7:4 Yenjenje ukundibonisa iNkosi uYehova: Nantso iNkosi uYehova ibiza umlilo, ukuba yohlwaye ngawo; wawagqiba amanzi amaninzi enzonzobila, wasitshisa isahlulo sehlabathi.
7:5 Ndathi, Nkosi Yehova, khawuyeke; wothini na uYakobi ukuma? kuba mncinane yena.
7:6 Wazohlwaya uYehova ngenxa yoko: Nako oko akuyi kubakho; itsho iNkosi uYehova.
7:7 Yenjenje ukundibonisa: Nantso iNkosi imi eludongeni olumpuluswa, iphethe ngesandla ilothe yokulungelelanisa.
7:8 UYehova wathi kum, Ubona ntoni na, Amosi? Ndathi, Ilothe yokulungelelanisa. Yathi iNkosi, Yabona, ndibeka ilothe esazulwini sabantu bam amaSirayeli; andiyi kubuya ndiphinde ndidlule kubo.
7:9 Ziya kuchithwa iziganga zakwaIsake, zibengamanxuwa iingcwele zakwaSirayeli, ndisukele phezulu kwindlu kaYarobheham ngekrele.
7:10 UAmatsiya, umbingeleli waseBheteli, wathumela kuYarobheham ukumkani wakwaSirayeli, esithi, Ukucebile uAmosi esazulwini sendlu kaSirayeli; ilizwe alinakuwanyamezela onke amazwi akhe.
7:11 Ngokuba uAmosi utsho ukuthi, Uya kufa likrele uYarobheham, amaSirayeli aya kuthinjwa, afuduswe emke elizweni lawo.
7:12 Wathi uAmatsiya kuAmosi, Mboni, hamba, urhole uye ezweni lakwaYuda, udle khona isonka sakho, uprofete khona;
7:13 kodwa uze ungabi saphinda uprofete eBheteli, kuba yingcwele yokumkani khona, yindlu yakomkhulu leyo.
7:14 Waphendula uAmosi, wathi kuAmatsiya, Andimprofeti, andinyana wamprofeti; ndingumalusi weenkomo, ndingumbuthi weziqhamo zomthombe.
7:15 Kuba uYehova wandithabatha ndisalusa umhlambi, uYehova wathi kum, Yiya uprofete kubantu bam amaSirayeli.
7:16 Ngoko ke live ilizwi likaYehova. Uthi wena, Akuyi kuprofeta kumaSirayeli, akuyi kuwisa ntetho kwindlu kaIsake.
7:17 Ngako oko, utsho uYehova ukuthi, Umfazi wakho uya kuhenyuza phakathi komzi, bawe likrele oonyana bakho neentombi zakho; umhlaba wakho wabiwe ngolutya, ke wena ufele emhlabeni oyinqambi; amaSirayeli aya kuthinjwa, afuduswe emke elizweni lawo.
8:1 Yenjenje ukundibonisa iNkosi uYehova: Nantso ingobozi ineziqhamo zasehlotyeni.
8:2 Yathi kum, Ubona ntoni na, Amosi? Ndathi, Ingobozi, ineziqhamo zasehlotyeni. Wathi uYehova kum, Isiphelo sibafikele abantu bam amaSirayeli; andiyi kubuya ndiphinde ndidlule kubo.
8:3 Ziya kuba kukubhomboloza iingoma zetempile ngaloo mini; itsho iNkosi uYehova. Zininzi izidumbu; uziqungquluzisile ezindaweni zonke; thwize!
8:4 Yivani oku, nina bawazondayo amahlwempu, ukuba nibaphelise abaziintsizana belizwe, nisithi,
8:5 Kuya kugqitha nini na ukuthwasa kwenyanga, sithengise ngengqolowa? Iya kugqitha nini na isabatha, sivule izisele zengqolowa, ukuze sinciphise iefa, sikhulise ishekele, sigqwethe isikali, sibe sesokukhohlisa?
8:6 ukuze sizithenge izisweli ngesilivere, namahlwempu ngeembadada ezimbini, sithengise ngomdlungu wengqolowa?
8:7 Ulifungile uYehova iqhayiya likaYakobi, esithi, Inyaniso, andiyi kuzilibala naphakade izenzo zabo zonke.
8:8 Aliyi kugungqa na ngenxa yoku ilizwe, benze isijwili bonke abemiyo kulo? aliyi kunyuka na lonke liphela njengoMnayile, lisuke amadlu, liwuthe njengoMnayile waseYiputa?
8:9 Kothi ngaloo mini, itsho iNkosi uYehova, ndilitshonise ilanga emini enkulu, ndenze ubumnyama ehlabathini ngemini elisileyo.
8:10 Ndiya kuyijika imithendeleko yenu ibe sisijwili, neengoma zenu zonke zibe sisimbonono; ndinxibe ezimnyama zokuzila ezinqeni zonke; ndichebe zonke iintloko, ndikwenze konke oko, kube njengesijwili esenzelwa umntwana okuphela kwamzeleyo, nokuphela kwako kube njengomhla okrakra.
8:11 Yabonani, kuza imihla, itsho iNkosi uYehova, endiya kuthumela ukulamba kulo ilizwe, kungabi kuko ukulambela isonka, kungabi kuko ukunxanela amanzi; kube kukulambela ukuva amazwi kaYehova.
8:12 Baya kubhadula bethabathela kolunye ulwandle, base kolunye ulwandle; bethabathela entla, base empumalanga; betyhutyha, befuna ilizwi likaYehova, bangalifumani.
8:13 Ngaloo mini uya kuwa isiduli umthinjana omhle nomlisela, linxano.
8:14 Bona abo bafunga ityala lakwaSamari; bathi, Ehleli nje uThixo wakho, Dan; bathi, Ihleli nje indlela yaseBher-shebha: bona baya kuwa, bangabi savuka.
9:1 Ndayibona iNkosi imi ngasesibingeleweni. Yathi, Zibethe iinqanam, inyikime imigubasi yomnyango, uziqobe ezo zinto, ziwe entlokweni yabo bonke bephela, ndibabulale abokugqibela babo ngekrele. Osabayo kubo akasayi kusinda, angasindi nokuzisindisa kubo.
9:2 Ukuba bathe bagqobhozela elabafileyo, sobathabatha nakhona isandla sam; nokuba bathe benyuka baya ezulwini, ndobahlisa nakhona.
9:3 Nokuba bathe bazimela encotsheni yeKarmele, ndofuna, ndibathabathe nalapho; nokuba bathe bazisithelisa phambi kwamehlo am emazantsi olwandle, ndoyiwisela umthetho nalapho inyoka, ibalume.
9:4 Nokuba bathe bathinjwa phambi kweentshaba zabo, ndoliwisela umthetho nalapho ikrele, libabulale, ndiwamise kubo amehlo am, ukuba kube kubi, kungalungi.
9:5 INkosi uYehova wemikhosi ngulophatha ilizwe, linyibilike, benze isijwili bonke abemiyo kulo; linyuke lonke liphela njengoMnayile, libuye liwuthe njengoMnayile waseYiputa;
9:6 ngulowakhela emazulwini amagumbi akhe aphezulu, nophahla lwawo alusekele phezu kwehlabathi; ngulobiza amanzi olwandle, awathululele phezu kwehlabathi: nguYehova igama lakhe.
9:7 Aninjengoonyana bamaKushi na kum, nina nyana bakaSirayeli? utsho uYehova. Andiwanyusanga na amaSirayeli ezweni laseYiputa, amaFilisti eKafetori, ama-Aram eKire?
9:8 Yabonani, amehlo eNkosi uYehova asebukumkanini obonayo, ndibutshabalalise, bungabikho phezu komhlaba; kodwa andiyi kuyitshabalalisa iphele indlu kaYakobi; utsho uYehova.
9:9 Ngokuba, yabonani, ndiwisa umthetho, ndiyihlungule indlu kaSirayeli ezintlangeni zonke, njengoko kuhlungulwa ingqolowa ngesihlungulo, kungawi nokhozo emhlabeni.
9:10 Baya kufa ngekrele bonke aboni babantu bam; abo bathi, Abuyi kusifumana, abuyi kusithintela ububi.
9:11 Ngaloo mini ndiya kuwuvusa umnquba kaDavide, lowo uwileyo, ndizivingce iintanda zawo, ndizivuse iindawo zawo ezigungxulweyo, ndiwakhe ube njengokwemihla yamandulo;
9:12 ukuze bawathimbe amasalela akwaEdom, neentlanga zonke, ezibizwa ngegama lam; utsho uYehova okwenzayo oku.
9:13 Yabonani, kuza imihla, utsho uYehova, aya kuthi afumanane umlimi nomvuni, umxovuli weediliya afumanane nomhlwayeli wembewu; iintaba zivuze incindi yeediliya, neenduli zonke zinyibilike.
9:14 Ndiya kukubuyisa ukuthinjwa kwabantu bam amaSirayeli, bayakhe imizi engamanxuwa, bayihlale, batyale izidiliya, basele iwayini yazo, benze imiyezo, badle iziqhamo zayo.
9:15 Ndobatyala emhlabeni wabo, bangabi sanyothulwa emhlabeni wabo endabanikayo; utsho uYehova uThixo wakho.
