U-Amose 6:1-14

  • Maye kulabo abazithela ngabandayo! (1-14)

    • Imibhede yezinyo lendlovu; izinkomishi zewayini (4, 6)

6  “Maye kulabo abazethembayo* eZiyoni,Kulabo abazizwa belondekile entabeni yaseSamariya, +Abantu abavelele bezizwe eziqavile,Labo indlu ka-Israyeli eza kubo!   Welelani eKhaline nibone. Sukani lapho niye eHamati Elikhulu, +Nehlele eGati lamaFilisti. La madolobha awangcono yini kunale mibuso,*Noma ingabe indawo yawo inkulu kuneyenu?   Ingabe niyalukhipha engqondweni yenu usuku lwenhlekelele +Nibuse ngobudlova? +   Balala emibhedeni yezinyo lendlovu + bazeneke kosofa, +Badle izinqama zomhlambi namathole akhuluphele; *+   Baqamba izingoma zihambisane nomnkenenezo wehabhu, *+NjengoDavide, benza izinsimbi zomculo; +   Baphuza iwayini ngezinkomishi ezinkulu, +Bagcoba ngamafutha ekhethelo. Kodwa abanandaba nenhlekelele* eyehlela indlu kaJosefa. +   Ngakho yibo abayoya kuqala ekudingisweni, +Ukuxokozela kwalabo abenabile kuyophela.   ‘INkosi EnguMbusi uJehova izifunge yona,’ + kusho uJehova uNkulunkulu wamabutho,‘ “Ngiyakwenyanya ukuziqhenya kukaJakobe, +Ngiyayizonda imibhoshongo yakhe eqinile, +Ngiyolinikela idolobha nalokho okuligcwalisile. +  “ ‘ “Uma kusele amadoda ayishumi endlini eyodwa, nawo ayokufa. 10  Kuyofika isihlobo* sithwale isidumbu sendoda ngayinye. Siyozikhiphela ngaphandle kwendlu izidumbu* zawo; kunoma ubani osemagunjini angaphakathi endlu siyothi, ‘Basekhona yini abanye abakanye nawe?’ Yena uyothi, ‘Akusekho muntu!’ Bese sithi, ‘Thula! Ngoba akusona isikhathi sokukhuluma ngegama likaJehova lesi.’ ” 11  Ngoba nguJehova okhipha umyalo, +Uyoshaya indlu enkulu ibhidlike,Nendlu encane ibe imvithi. + 12  Amahhashi ayagijima yini emadwaleni,Noma umuntu uyolima yini khona ngezinkomo? Ngoba niphendule ubulungisa baba isitshalo esinoshevuNesithelo sokulunga saba umhlonyane. *+ 13  Nijabula ngento engelusizo lwalutho,Nithi: “Asizange yini sibe namandla ngenxa yezikhwepha zethu?” + 14  Ngakho ngiyoletha isizwe simelane nawe wena ndlu ka-Israyeli,’ + kusho uJehova uNkulunkulu wamabutho,‘Siyokucindezela kusukela eLebo-hamati *+ kwehle kuze kuyofika eMhosheni* Wase-Araba.’ ”
