14 Dingani okuhle, hatshi-ke okubi, ukuze liphiles, ukuze ngokunjalo iNkosi uNkulunkulu wamabandla ibe lanit, njengokutsho kwenuu.

15 Zondani ububi, lithande okuhlev, limise isahlulelo esangweniw; mhlawumbe iNkosix uNkulunkulu wamabandlay ingaba lesisa kunsali yakoJosefaz.

16 Ngakho utsho njalo uJehova, uNkulunkulu wamabandlaa, iNkosi: Kuzakuba khona isililo emidangeni yonkeb, lakuzo zonke izitalada bazakuthi: Maye! Maye! Njalo bazabizela umlimi ekulileni, lesililo sizakuba labazi ukulilac.

19 Kunjengomuntu obaleke phambi kwesilwaneh, ahlangane lebhere; loba angene endlini abambelele ngesandla sakhe emdulini, lenyoka imlumei.

20 Usuku lweNkosij kaluyikubak ngumnyama yini, hatshi-ke ukukhanya, lomnyama omkhulu ongelakukhanya kuwol?

21 Ngiyayizonda, ngiyayidelela imikhosi yenum, kangiyikunukan emihlanganweni yenu enzuluo.

22 Ngoba lanxa linikela kimi iminikelo yokutshiswa leminikelo yenu yokudlap, kangithokoziq, leminikelo yokuthula yezifuyo zenu ezinonileyor kangiyinanzis.

23 Susani kimi umsindo wezingoma zenu, ngoba kangiyikuzwat ukukhala kwamachacho enuu.

3 Lina elibeka khatshana usuku olubim, lisondeza eduze isihlalon sodlakelao.

4 Labo abalalap phezu kwemibheda yophondo lwendlovuq, bacambalaler phezu kwamathala abos, badle amawundlu avela emhlanjini, lamankonyana avela phakathi kwesibayat;

5 abatshotsha ngokukhala kwechachou, beziqambela izinto zokukhaliswa, njengoDavidav;

9 Kodwa indawo eziphakemeyo zikaIsaka zizakuba ngamanxiwa, lezindawo ezingcwele zakoIsrayeli zizadilizwa; ngiyivukele indlu kaJerobowamu ngenkemban.

UAmaziya loAmosi

10 UAmaziya umpristio weBhethelip wasethumela kuJerobhowamu inkosi yakoIsrayeliq, esithi: UAmosi wenze ugober emelene lawe phakathi kwendlu kaIsrayeli; ilizwe kalilakuwathwala wonke amazwi akhes.

11 Ngoba utsho njalo uAmosi: UJerobhowamu uzakufa ngenkembat, loIsrayeli athunjwe lokuthunjwa aphume elizweni lakheu.

12 UAmaziya wasesithi kuAmosi: Wena mboniv, hamba ubalekele elizweni lakoJudaw, lapho udle isinkwa khonax, lalapho uprofethe.

13 Kodwa eBhetheliy ungabe usaprofetha futhiz, ngoba iyindawo engcwelea yenkosib njalo iyindlu yombuso.

14 UAmosi wasephendula wathi kuAmaziya: Ngangingasumprofethi minac, futhi ngangingasindodana yomprofethid mina; kodwa ngangingumelusie wenkomo, lomvuni wemikhiwa yesikhamoref.

15 Kodwa iNkosi yangithatha ekulandeleni umhlambi, iNkosi yathi kimi: Hamba uyeprofetha ebantwini bami uIsrayeli.

16 Ngakho-ke zwana ilizwi leNkosig. Wena uthi: Ungaprofethi umelene loIsrayelih, ungatshumayeli umelenei lendlu kaIsakaj.

17 Ngakho itsho njalo iNkosik: Umkakho uzawula phakathi komuzil, lamadodana akho lamadodakazi akho azakuwa ngenkemba, lelizwe lakini lizakwabiwa ngentambom, wena-ke uzafela elizweni elingcolileyon, loIsrayeli athunjwe lokuthunjwa aphume elizweni lakheo.

UAmosi utshengiswa izithelo zehlobo

8INkosi uJehova yangibonisa kanjea; khangela-ke, isitshab sezithelo zehloboc.

2 Yasisithi: Ubonani, Amosid? Ngathi: Isitshae sezithelo zehlobof. INkosi yasisithi kimi: Ukuphela sekufikile ebantwini bami uIsrayelig; kangisayikubedlula futhih.

3 Kodwa izingoma zethempelinii zizaqhinqa isililo mhlalokho, itsho iNkosi uJehova; kuzakuba lezidumbu ezinengij; kuyo yonke indawo bazaziphosela ngokuthula.

Ukugwetshwa kukaIsrayeli sekusondele

4 Zwanini lokhuk, linal eliginya oswelayom, lokuthi lichithe abayanga belizwen;

5 elithi: Ukuthwasa kwenyangao kuzadlula nini ukuze sithengise amabelep? lesabathaq ukuze sivule ingqoloyi, sisenza i-efa libe lincinyaner, sisenza ishekeli libe likhulu, siphambanisa izilinganiso zenkohlisos.

6 Ukuze sithenge abayanga ngesilivat, loswelayo ngamanyathela amabiliu, yebo sithengise amakhoba amabelev?

7 INkosi ifungilew ngobukhosi bukaJakobexy: Isibili kangiyikukhohlwa zonke izenzo zaboz kuze kube nininini.

8 Kawuyikuqhaqhazela yinia umhlabab ngalokhu, alile laye wonke ohlala kuwocd? Yebo ukhukhumale wonke njengomfulae, uphoseke le lale utshonef1 njengomfula weGibhithegh.

9 Kuzakuthi-ke ngalolosuku, itsho iNkosi uJehova, ngizatshonisa ilanga emini enkului, ngenze umhlaba ube mnyama emini ekhanyayoj.

10 Ngiphendule imikhosi yenu ibe yikulilak, lengoma zenu zonke zibe yisililo, ngilethe isaka enkalweni zonkelm, lempabanga ekhanda lonken, ngikwenze kube njengesililo sendodana eyodwao, lokucina kwalo njengosuku olubabayopq.

13 Ngalolosuku intombi ezimsulwa ezinhle lamajaha azaqalekax ngenxa yokomay.

14 Labo abafungaz ngecalaa leSamariyab bathi: Kuphila kukankulunkulu wakho, Danic; lokuthi: Kuphila kwendlelad yeBherishebhae; bazakuwa-ke, bangabe besavuka.

Ukwehlulela kweNkosi

9Ngabona iNkosi imia phezu kwelathib, yathi: Tshaya isihlokoc ukuze imibundu inyikinyekede, ubaqumef ekhandag, bonke babo; labokucina babo ngibabulale ngenkembah; kakuyikubaleka obalekayo waboi, kakuyikuphunyuka ophunyukayo wabojk.

2 Loba begebha besiya esihogwenilm, isandla sami sizabathatha khona; loba bekhwela-ke besiya emazulwinino, ngizabehlisa khonap;

3 loba becatsha-ke engqongeni yeKharmeliq, ngizabadinga ngibathathe khonar; loba becatsha-ke basuke phambi kwamehlo ami kuphansi yolwandles, ngizalaya inyoka ivela lapho ezabalumat;

4 loba besiya-ke ekuthunjweni phambi kwezitha zabo, ngizalaya inkembau ivela lapho ukuze izebabulala; ngimise ilihlo lamiv ngokubi, hatshi-ke ngokuhlew.

5 Njalo kuyiNkosi uJehova wamabandla ethinta umhlaba, ukuze uncibilikex, balile bonke abahlala kuwoy, ukhukhumale wonke njengomfulaz, utshoneab1 njengomfula weGibhithe.

6 Eyakha amakamelo ayo aphezulu emazulwinic, yamisa amaviyo ayo emhlabenid, ebiza amanzi olwandlee, iwathululele ebusweni bomhlabaf; iNkosi libizo layogh.

7 Kimi kalinjengabantwanai bamaEthiyopiya yinij, lina bantwana bakoIsrayeli? itsho iNkosi. Kangikhuphulanga yini uIsrayeli elizweni leGibhithe, lamaFilistik eKafitoril, lamaSiriyam eKiri?

8 Khangela, amehlo eNkosi uJehovan aphezu kombuso owonayo; njalo ngizawuchitha usuke ebusweni bomhlaba, kube kanti kangiyikuyichitha ngokupheleleyo indlu kaJakobeo, itsho iNkosi.
