¹Mashoko aAmosi, waiva mumwe wavafudzi veTekoa, aakaona pamusoro paIsiraeri namazuva aUziya mambo waJudha, uye namazuva aJerobhoami mwanakomana waJoashi mambo waIsiraeri, makore maviri achigere okusvika kokudengenyeka kwenyika.

¹The words of Amos, who was among the herdmen of Tekoa, which he saw concerning Israel in the days of Uzziah king of Judah, and in the days of Jeroboam the son of Joash king of Israel, two years before the earthquake.

²Akati, Jehovha uchaomba ari paZiyoni, achanzwisa izwi rake ari paJerusaremu; mafuro avafudzi achachema, musoro weKarimeri uchaoma.

²And he said, The LORD will roar from Zion, and utter his voice from Jerusalem; and the habitations of the shepherds shall mourn, and the top of Carmel shall wither.

³Zvanzi naJehovha, Nemhaka yokuti Dhamasiko vakadarika katatu, zvimwe kana, handingadzori kurohwa kwavo; nekuti vakapura Giriyadhi nemipuro yamatare.

³Thus saith the LORD; For three transgressions of Damascus, and for four, I will not turn away the punishment thereof; because they have threshed Gilead with threshing instruments of iron:

⁴Asi ndichatuma moto mumba maHazaeri, uchapedza dzimba dzohushe dzaBhenihadhadhi.

⁴But I will send a fire into the house of Hazael, which shall devour the palaces of Benhadad.

⁵Ndichavhuna chihuri cheDhamasiko, nokuparadza vagere mumupata weAvheni nowakabata tsvimbo youshe paBhetiedheni; vanhu veSiria vachatapirwa Kiri, ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha.

⁵I will break also the bar of Damascus, and cut off the inhabitant from the plain of Aven, and him that holdeth the sceptre from the house of Eden: and the people of Syria shall go into captivity unto Kir, saith the LORD.

⁶Zvanzi naJehovha, Nemhaka yokuti Gaza vakadarika katatu, zvimwe kana, handingadzori kurohwa kwazvo; nekuti vakatapa rudzi rwose, kundovaisa kuna Edhomu.

⁶Thus saith the LORD; For three transgressions of Gaza, and for four, I will not turn away the punishment thereof; because they carried away captive the whole captivity, to deliver them up to Edom:

⁷Asi ndichatuma moto kurusvingo rweGaza, uchapedza dzimba dzaro dzoushe.

⁷But I will send a fire on the wall of Gaza, which shall devour the palaces thereof:

⁸Ndichaparadza vagere Ashidhodhi nowakabata tsvimbo youshe paAshikeroni; ndichatambanudzira ruoko rwangu kurwa naEkironi; vakasara vavaFirisitia vachaparadzwa, ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha.

⁸And I will cut off the inhabitant from Ashdod, and him that holdeth the sceptre from Ashkelon, and I will turn mine hand against Ekron: and the remnant of the Philistines shall perish, saith the Lord GOD.

⁹Zvanzi naJehovha, Nemhaka yokuti Tire vakadarika katatu, zvimwe kana, handingadzori kurohwa kwavo; nekuti vakaisa rudzi rwose kuna Edhomu vakasarangarira sungano yohukama hwavo.

⁹Thus saith the LORD; For three transgressions of Tyrus, and for four, I will not turn away the punishment thereof; because they delivered up the whole captivity to Edom, and remembered not the brotherly covenant:

¹⁰Asi ndichatuma moto kurusvingo rweTire, uchapedza dzimba dzaro dzoushe.

¹⁰But I will send a fire on the wall of Tyrus, which shall devour the palaces thereof.

¹¹Zvanzi naJehovha, Nemhaka yokuti Edhomu vakadarika, katatu, zvimwe kana, handingadzori kurohwa kwavo; nekuti vakateverera munin'ina wavo nomunondo, vakarasha tsitsi dzose, kutsamwa kwake kukaramba kuchingobvambura, akaramba ane hasha nokusingaperi.

¹¹Thus saith the LORD; For three transgressions of Edom, and for four, I will not turn away the punishment thereof; because he did pursue his brother with the sword, and did cast off all pity, and his anger did tear perpetually, and he kept his wrath for ever:

¹²Asi ndichatuma moto paTemani, uchapedza dzimba dzoushe dzeBhozira.

¹²But I will send a fire upon Teman, which shall devour the palaces of Bozrah.

¹³Zvanzi naJehovha, Nemhaka yokuti vanhu vaAmoni vakadarika katatu, zvimwe kana, handingadzori kurohwa kwavo; nekuti vakatumbura vakadzi vakanga vane mimba veGiriyadhi, kuti vakurise nyika yavo.

¹³Thus saith the LORD; For three transgressions of the children of Ammon, and for four, I will not turn away the punishment thereof; because they have ripped up the women with child of Gilead, that they might enlarge their border:

¹⁴Asi ndichabatidza moto parusvingo rweRabha, uchapedza dzimba dzaro dzoushe, vachidanidzira nezuva rokurwa, nedutu guru remhepo nezuva rechamupupuri;

¹⁴But I will kindle a fire in the wall of Rabbah, and it shall devour the palaces thereof, with shouting in the day of battle, with a tempest in the day of the whirlwind:

¹⁵mambo wavo achatapwa, iye pamwechete namachinda ake, ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha.

¹⁵And their king shall go into captivity, he and his princes together, saith the LORD.
