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.

¹Words of Amos — who hath been among herdsmen of Tekoa — that he hath seen concerning Israel, in the days of Uzziah king of Judah, and in the days of Jeroboam son of Joash king of Israel, two years before the shaking;

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

²and he saith: Jehovah from Zion doth roar, And from Jerusalem giveth forth His voice, And mourned have pastures of the shepherds, And withered hath the top of Carmel!

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

³And thus said Jehovah: For three transgressions of Damascus, And for four, I do not reverse it, Because of their threshing Gilead with sharp-pointed irons,

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

⁴And I have sent a fire against the house of Hazael, And it hath consumed the palaces of Ben-Hadad.

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

⁵And I have broken the bar of Damascus, And cut off the inhabitant from Bikat-Aven, And a holder of a sceptre from Beth-Eden, And removed have been the people of Aram to Kir, said Jehovah.

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

⁶Thus said Jehovah: For three transgressions of Gaza, And for four, I do not reverse it, Because of their removing a complete captivity, To deliver up to Edom,

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

⁷And I have sent a fire against the wall of Gaza, And it hath consumed her palaces;

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

⁸And I have cut off the inhabitant from Ashdod, And a holder of a sceptre from Ashkelon, And have turned back My hand against Ekron, And perished have the remnant of the Philistines, Said the Lord Jehovah.

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

⁹Thus said Jehovah: For three transgressions of Tyre, And for four, I do not reverse it, Because of their delivering up a complete captivity to Edom, And they remembered not the brotherly covenant,

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

¹⁰And I have sent a fire against the wall of Tyre, And it hath consumed her palaces.

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 said Jehovah: For three transgressions of Edom, And for four, I do not reverse it, Because of his pursuing with a sword his brother, And he hath destroyed his mercies, And tear perpetually doth his anger, And his wrath — he hath kept it for ever,

¹²Asi ndichatuma moto paTemani, uchapedza dzimba dzoushe dzeBhozira.

¹²And I have sent a fire against Teman, And it hath consumed 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 said Jehovah: For three transgressions of the sons of Ammon, And for four, I do not reverse it, Because of their ripping up the pregnant ones of Gilead, To enlarge their border,

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

¹⁴And I have kindled a fire against the wall of Rabbah, And it hath consumed her palaces, With a shout in a day of battle, With a whirlwind in a day of hurricane,

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

¹⁵And gone hath their king in a removal, He and his heads together, said Jehovah!
