U-Amosi 4:1-13
4 “Zwanini ilizwi leli lina mankomokazi aseBhashaniElisentabeni yeSamariya,+Lina besifazana eliqila abantukazana+ njalo licindezele abayanga,Elitshela omkenu lithi, ‘Ake lisiphe okunathwayo.’
2 INkosi Enkulu uJehova isifunge ngobungcwele bayo,‘“Ziyeza insuku lapho elizaphakanyiswa khona ngamawuka okulengisa inyama,Labaseleyo benu baphakanyiswe ngamawuka enhlanzi.
3 Omunye lomunye uzaqonda emdulini aphume ngesikhala esiphambi kwakhe,Njalo lizaxotshelwa eHamoni,” kutsho uJehova.’
4 ‘Buyani eBhetheli lizokwenza isono,*+Libuye laseGiligali lenze ezinye izono ezinengi!+
Buyani lemihlatshelo+ yenu ekuseni,Ngelanga lesithathu libuye lokwetshumi.+
5 Tshisani umhlatshelo wokubonga wesinkwa esilemvubelo,+Limemezele iminikelo yenu yokuzithandela!
Ngoba yikho elithanda ukukwenza lina bantu bako-Israyeli,’ kutsho iNkosi Enkulu uJehova.
6 ‘Ngabangela ukuthi kube lendlala kuwo wonke amadolobho enuLokuthi kuswelakale isinkwa ezindlini zenu.+
Kodwa kalizange liphenduke kimi,’+ kutsho uJehova.
7 ‘Ngalincitsha izulu sekusele izinyanga ezintathu ukuthi isikhathi sokuvuna sifike,+Nganisa izulu kwelinye idolobho kodwa kwelinye alinanga.
Kwenye insimu izulu lalisina,Kodwa kwenye kwakome qha kungelazulu.
8 Abantu abavela emadolobheni amabili loba amathathu babediyazela besiya edolobheni elilodwa besiyadinga amanzi okunatha,+Kodwa babengakholwa,Loba kunjalo kalizange liphenduke kimi.’+ kutsho uJehova.
9 ‘Ngalitshaya ngokutshisa langomkhuhlane ohlasela izilimo.+
Lalima izingadi lamasimu amagilebisi amanengi,Kodwa intethe zatshaya zabhuqa izihlahla zenu zomkhiwa lezama-oliva;+
Lanxa kunjalo kalizange liphenduke kimi,’+ kutsho uJehova.
10 ‘Ngalithumela isifo esinjengaleso esatshaya iGibhithe,+
Ngabulala amajaha enu ngenkemba+ ngathumba lamabhiza enu.+
Ngenza ukuthi amakhala enu avaleke ngci ngenxa yephunga elaliphuma ezihonqweni zenu,+
Kodwa kalizange liphenduke kimi,’ kutsho uJehova.
11 ‘NgalitshabalalisaNgendlela engatshabalalisa ngayo iSodoma leGomora.+
Laba njengokhuni oluhwatshwe emlilweni,Kodwa kalizange liphenduke kimi,’+ kutsho uJehova.
12 Lokhu yikho kanye engizaphinda ngikwenze kuwe Israyeli.
Ngakho lungiselela ukuhlangana loNkulunkulu wakho, wena Israyeli,Ngenxa yalokho esengizimisele ukukwenza kuwe.
13 Phela nguye owabumba izintaba,+ wadala lomoya,+Imicabango yakhe uyayiveza emuntwini,Atshintshe ukusa kube yibumnyama,+Njalo unyathela izindawo eziphakemeyo zomhlaba,+UJehova uNkulunkulu wamabutho yilo ibizo lakhe.”
