U-Amosi 3:1-15
3 “Zwanini ilizwi elikhulunywe nguJehova mayelana lani bantu bako-Israyeli, lonke elisemulini yakhe ayikhipha elizweni laseGibhithe:
2 ‘Yini kuphela engilazi kuhle kuzo zonke izimuli ezisemhlabeni.+
Yikho ngizalijezisa ngenxa yazo zonke izono zenu.+
3 Kambe abantu ababili bangahamba bonke bengavumelananga?*
4 Isilwane singabhonga yini eguswini kungelanyamazana esingayibamba?
Isilwane esilamandla esisebhalwini singabhonga yini singabambanga lutho?
5 Kambe inyoni ingabanjwa ngumjibila yini ingazange ithiywe?*
Umjibila osemhlabathini uyathanca yini nxa ungabambanga lutho?
6 Nxa uphondo lungatshaywa edolobheni abantu abethuki yini?
Nxa uhlupho lungehlela abantu edolobheni, luyabe lungaveli kuJehova yini?
7 INkosi Enkulu uJehova kayisoze yenze luthoIngazange iqale iveze imfihlo yayo ezincekwini zayo abaphrofethi.+
8 Isilwane sibhongile!+ Ngubani ongasoze esabe?
INkosi Enkulu uJehova isikhulumile! Ngubani ongasoze aphrofethe?’+
9 ‘Kumemezeleni lokhu ezinqabeni ze-AshidodiLasezinqabeni zelizwe laseGibhithe.
Memezani lithi: “Buthanani ndawonye phezu kwezintaba zeSamariya,+Libone isiphithiphithi esiphakathi kwayoKanye lobuqili obenziwa kuyo.+
10 Kabakwazi ukwenza okulungileyo,” kutsho uJehova,
“Sebegcwalise izinqaba zabo ngenotho abayithole ngodlakela langokubhidliza.”’
11 Ngakho-ke nanku okutshiwo yiNkosi Enkulu uJehova,‘Isitha sizagombolozela ilizwe+Siwaqede du wonke amandla akho,Lezinto ezisezinqabeni zakho zizathunjwa.’+
12 Nanku okutshiwo nguJehova,‘Njengomelusi ohluthuna okuzinyawo okubili kumbe isiqephu sendlebe emlonyeni wesilwane,Bazahlengwa ngaleyondlela abako-Israyeli abalutshwana,Labo abahlezi emibhedeni emihle lasemasofeni antofontofo eSamariya.’+
13 ‘Zwana njalo uxwayise indlu* kaJakhobe,’ kutsho iNkosi Enkulu uJehova, uNkulunkulu wamabutho.
14 ‘Ngosuku engizajezisa ngalo u-Israyeli ngenxa yamacala akhe wonke,+Ngizadiliza lama-alithare aseBhetheli,+Impondo ze-alithare zizaqunywa ziwele phansi emhlabathini.+
15 Ngizadiliza indlu yebusika lendlu yehlobo.’
‘Izindlu eziceciswe ngempondo zendlovu zizatshabalala,+Lezindlu ezinkulu* zizabhidlizwa,’+ kutsho uJehova.”
