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, Jehovah roareth from Zion, and uttereth his voice from Jerusalem; and the pastures of the shepherds mourn, and the top of Carmel withereth.
3Zvanzi naJehovha, Nemhaka yokuti Dhamasiko vakadarika katatu, zvimwe kana, handingadzori kurohwa kwavo; nekuti vakapura Giriyadhi nemipuro yamatare.
3Thus saith Jehovah: For three transgressions of Damascus, and for four, I will not revoke [my sentence], because they have threshed Gilead with threshing instruments of iron.
4Asi ndichatuma moto mumba maHazaeri, uchapedza dzimba dzohushe dzaBhenihadhadhi.
4And I will send a fire into the house of Hazael, and it shall devour 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 will break the bar of Damascus, and cut off the inhabitant from the valley of Aven, and him that holdeth the sceptre from Beth-Eden; and the people of Syria shall go into captivity unto Kir, saith Jehovah.
6Zvanzi naJehovha, Nemhaka yokuti Gaza vakadarika katatu, zvimwe kana, handingadzori kurohwa kwazvo; nekuti vakatapa rudzi rwose, kundovaisa kuna Edhomu.
6Thus saith Jehovah: For three transgressions of Gazah, and for four, I will not revoke its sentence; because they carried away captive the whole captivity, to deliver [them] up to Edom.
7Asi ndichatuma moto kurusvingo rweGaza, uchapedza dzimba dzaro dzoushe.
7And I will send a fire on the wall of Gazah, and it 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 my hand against Ekron; and the remnant of the Philistines shall perish, saith 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 saith Jehovah: For three transgressions of Tyre, and for four, I will not revoke its sentence; because they delivered up the whole captivity to Edom, and remembered not the brotherly covenant.
10Asi ndichatuma moto kurusvingo rweTire, uchapedza dzimba dzaro dzoushe.
10And I will send a fire on the wall of Tyre, and it 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 Jehovah: For three transgressions of Edom, and for four, I will not revoke its sentence; because he pursued his brother with the sword, and cast off all pity; and his anger did tear continually, and he kept his wrath for ever.
12Asi ndichatuma moto paTemani, uchapedza dzimba dzoushe dzeBhozira.
12And I will send a fire upon Teman, and it 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 Jehovah: For three transgressions of the children of Ammon, and for four, I will not revoke its sentence; because they 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;
14And 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 Jehovah.
