Kabili nshakatwalilile ukubeleela.+ 9 Ififulo fya kupepelapo ifya kwa Isaki+ fikonaulwa, ne ncende sha mushilo isha bena Israele shikonaulwa,+ kabili nkasanshila aba mu ng’anda ya kwa Yeroboamu ku lupanga.”+

12 Lyena Amasia aebele Amose ati: “We umona ifimonwa, kabiye, butukila ku calo ca Yuda, kulya kwine e ko ukalalya umukate, kabili e ko ukalesesemena.+ 13 Lelo mu Betele+ mwena wilaesha ukusesemenamo pantu e mo imfumu isa mu kupepela+ kabili e mwaba itempele ilyo abantu bonse besa mu kupepelamo.”
14 Lyena Amose ayaswike Amasia ati: “Ine nshali kasesema, kabili nshili mwana wa kwa kasesema; lelo nali kacema+ kabili nalesakamana imikunyu.* 15 Lelo Yehova ansendele uko nalecema impaanga, kabili Yehova anjebele ati, ‘Kabiye, kasesemene abantu bandi abena Israele.’+ 16 E ico nomba umfwa ifyo Yehova alelanda: ‘Ulenjeba auti: “Wilasesema ifyabipa pa bena Israele,+ kabili wilalanda+ ifyabipa pa ba mu ng’anda ya kwa Isaki.” 17 E ico Yehova atila: “Umukashi obe akaba cilende mu musumba. Kabili abana bobe abaume na bana bobe abanakashi bakabepaila ku lupanga. Pa kwakanya icalo cobe bakabomfya intambo ya kupiminako, na iwe ukafwila mu calo icakowela; kabili nangu cibe shani abena Israele bakabasenda bunkole.”’”+
