9 Masena aakukombela aa Izaka+ ayooba matongo, aalo masena aasalala aa Israyeli ayoonyonyoonwa;+ alimwi ndiyoobalwana apanga bamuŋanda ya Jeroboamu.”+
10 Amaziya mupaizi waku Beteli+ wakatuma mulumbe ku Mwami Jeroboamu+ wa Israyeli, ulaamba: “Amosi waleta muzeezo wakukubukila muŋanda ya Israyeli.+ Bantu bamucisi tabakonzyi kuliyumya amajwi aakwe oonse.+
11 Nkaambo mboobu mbwaamba Amosi, ‘Jeroboamu uyoojaigwa apanga, mpoonya ziyume zitete bana Israyeli bayootolwa mubuzike kuzwa mucisi cabo beni.’”+

13 Pele utasinsimi limbi ku Beteli,+ nkaambo mbusena busalala bwamwami+ alimwi niŋanda yabwami.”
14 Mpoonya Amosi wakavwiila Amaziya ulaamba: “Mebo tiindakali musinsimi naa mwana wamusinsimi; pele ndakali mweembezi+ alimwi ndakali kulanganya mikuyu.*
15 Nokuba boobo Jehova wakandilesya kweembela butanga, mpoonya Jehova wakandaambila kuti, ‘Koya, ukasinsime kubantu bangu bana Israyeli.’+
16 Lino komvwa jwi lya Jehova: ‘Yebo waamba kuti, “Utasinsimi makani aakucenjezya bana Israyeli,+ alimwi utakambauki+ makani aakucenjezya bamuŋanda ya Izaka.”
17 Aboobo mboobu mbwaamba Jehova: “Mukaintu wako uyooba muvwuule mumunzi, abalo bana bako basankwa abasimbi bayoojaigwa apanga. Nyika yako iyakwaapaulwa alutambo lwakupimya, mpoonya yebo uyoofwida munyika iisofweede; alimwi ziyume zitete bana Israyeli bayootolwa mubuzike kuzwa mucisi cabo beni.”’”+
