Amosi
4 “Lalelani amezwi la, nina nkomo zeBhatjhani,
Enihlala entabeni yeSamariya,+
Nina bafazi abadlelezela nabaphihliza abantu abatlhagako,+
Enithi emadodenenu,* ‘Khenisilethele okuselwako!’
2 UJehova iKosi ePhakemeko ufunge ngokucwengeka kwakhe,
‘“Qalani! Amalanga ayeza lapha azoniphakamisa khona njengenyama elenga emawugwini
Nabaseleko uzobaphakamisa ngamawugu wokuthiya iinhlambi.
3 Ngamunye wenu uzokuphuma entunjeni esebodeni,
Begodu nizokulahlelwa ngaphandle eHarimoni,” kutjho uJehova.’
5 Tjhisani imihlatjelo yokuthokoza yoburotho obunesibiliso,+
Bukisani ngeminikelwenu esuka ehliziyweni!
Ngombana ngilokho enithanda ukukwenza nina bantu bakwa-Israyeli,’ kutjho uJehova iKosi ePhakemeko.
6 ‘Ngabangela indlala* kiwo woke amadorobhenu
Ngabangela nayo yoke imizenu bona ingabi noburotho,+
Kodwana akhenge nibuye kimi,’+ kutjho uJehova.
7 ‘Ngenza bona izulu lingani iinyanga ezintathu ngaphambi kobana nivune,+
Ngenze bona kune izulu kwelinye idorobho kodwana kwelinye lingani.
Ngenza bona kune izulu kwenye isimu,
Kodwana kwenye isimu lapha lingakhenge kheline khona koma.
8 Abantu bemadorobheni amabili namkha amathathu batherezelela kwelinye idorobho bona bayokusela amanzi,+
Begodu akhenge baneliseke,
Kodwana akhenge nibuyele kimi,’+ kutjho uJehova.
9 ‘Ngisahlela iintjalo zenu ngomtjhiso omkhulu nangokugula okwenza iintjalo zibole.+
Ningezelele amasimenu neemvande zenu zamadiribe,
Kodwana intethe izokudla imithenu yamafeyi nemithenu yama-oliva,+
Nanyana kunjalo, akhenge nibuye kimi,’+ kutjho uJehova.
10 ‘Nganithumelela ngokugula okufana nekweGibhide.+
Ngabulala amasokanenu ngesabula,+ ngathumba neenjomani zenu.+
Ngenza bona kube nephunga elimbi ngemakampenenu,+
Kodwana akhenge nibuyele kimi,’ kutjho uJehova.
11 ‘Ngibangele bona nitjhatjalaliswe
Njengalokha uZimu atjhabalalisa iSodoma neGomora.+
Begodu benifana nesigodo esikhutjhwe emlilweni,
Kodwana akhenge nibuyele kimi,’+ kutjho uJehova.
12 Ngilokho engizokwenza kuwe Israyeli.
Ngombana ngilokho engizokwenza kuwe,
Lungela ukuyokuhlangana noZimakho Israyeli.
