Amosi 6

¹Vane nhamo vagere zvakanaka paZiyoni, navagere pakasimba mugomo reSamaria, ivo vanhu vane mbiri vorudzi rukuru pakati pamarudzi, kunoenda imba yaIsiraeri!Woe to them that are at ease in Zion, and trust in the mountain of Samaria, which are named chief of the nations, to whom the house of Israel came!

²Pfuurirai Karine, muone; kubva ipapo endai Hamati, iro guta guru; zvino muende Gati ravaFirisitia; ivo vakakurira ushe hwohuno here? Nyika yavo ihuru kune yenyu here?Pass ye unto Calneh, and see; and from thence go ye to Hamath the great: then go down to Gath of the Philistines: be they better than these kingdoms? or their border greater than your border?

³Iyemi, munoti zuva rakaipa richiri kure, muchiswededza zvigaro panoitwa nesimba;Ye that put far away the evil day, and cause the seat of violence to come near;

⁴imwi, munovata pamibhedha yenyanga dzenzou, muchizamura pauvato hwenyu, muchidya makwayana amapoka, nemhuru dziri mukati mechirugu;That lie upon beds of ivory, and stretch themselves upon their couches, and eat the lambs out of the flock, and the calves out of the midst of the stall;

⁵munoimba nziyo dzisina maturo mbira dzichiridzwa, munozviitira zvinoridzwa saDhavhidhi;That chant to the sound of the viol, and invent to themselves instruments of musick, like David;

⁶imi, munonwa waini nemidziyo yokubayira, muchizora mafuta akaisvonaka; asi hamune hanya nokukuvadzwa kwaJosefa.That drink wine in bowls, and anoint themselves with the chief ointments: but they are not grieved for the affliction of Joseph.

⁷Naizvozvo zvino vachatapwa nowokutanga vanotapwa; ipapo ruzha rwavanozamura ruchapfuura.Therefore now shall they go captive with the first that go captive, and the banquet of them that stretched themselves shall be removed.

⁸Ishe Jehovha wakapika naiye amene ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha, iye Mwari wehondo achiti, Ndinosema kuzvikudza kwaJakobho, ndinovenga dzimba dzavo dzoushe; naizvozvo ndinoisa guta nezvose zvirimo kuvavengi vavo.The Lord GOD hath sworn by himself, saith the LORD the God of hosts, I abhor the excellency of Jacob, and hate his palaces: therefore will I deliver up the city with all that is therein.

⁹Zvino kana varume vane gumi vakasara muimba imwe vachafa.And it shall come to pass, if there remain ten men in one house, that they shall die.

¹⁰Kana hama yomunhu wakafa ichiuya kumutora iye anozomupisa, ichibvisa mapfupa mumba, ikati kuno ari mukati-kati meimba, Kuchinomumwe newe here? Iye akati Kwete! ipapo uchati nyarara, nokuti hazvina kufanira kuti tireve zita raJehovha.And a man’s uncle shall take him up, and he that burneth him, to bring out the bones out of the house, and shall say unto him that is by the sides of the house, Is there yet any with thee? and he shall say, No. Then shall he say, Hold thy tongue: for we may not make mention of the name of the LORD.

¹¹Nokuti tarirai, Jehovha anoraira, iye achakoromora imba huru, neimba duku ichaita mitswe.For, behold, the LORD commandeth, and he will smite the great house with breaches, and the little house with clefts.

¹²Ko mabhiza anga mhanya paruware here? Ko pangarimwa nemombe here? Nokuti makashandura kururamisa mukakuita nduru, nezvibereko zvokururama mukazviita gavakava;Shall horses run upon the rock? will one plow there with oxen? for ye have turned judgment into gall, and the fruit of righteousness into hemlock:

¹³iyemi, munofarira chinhu chisina maturo, muchiti, Hatina kuzviwanira nyanga nesimba redu here?Ye which rejoice in a thing of nought, which say, Have we not taken to us horns by our own strength?

¹⁴Nokuti tarirai, ndichakumutsirai rumwe rudzi, imwi imba yaIsiraeri, ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha, iye Mwari wehondo; ruchakutambudzai kubva pavanopinda paHamati kusvikira kurukova rwerenje.But, behold, I will raise up against you a nation, O house of Israel, saith the LORD the God of hosts; and they shall afflict you from the entering in of Hemath unto the river of the wilderness.
