Amose 5
Isililo ngendlu ka-Israyeli
1Zwanini lelilizwi engiliphakamisa phezu kwenu, isililo, lina ndlu kaIsrayeli.
2Iwile intombi yakwa-Israyeli; ngeke lisavuka; washiywa ezweni lakubo; akakho ongamvusa.
3Ngokuba isho kanje iNkosi uJehova, ithi: Umuzi owaphuma uyinkulungwane uyakusala uyikhulu, owaphuma unekhulu, uyakusalela indlu ka-Israyeli ishumi.
4Ngokuba usho kanje uJehova kuyo indlu yakwa-Israyeli, uthi: “Ngifuneni, nizakuphila;
5Kepha ningalifuni iBethele, ningangeni eGiligali, ningaweli eBeri Sheba; ngoba iGiligali lizakuya ekuthunjweni, leBhetheli lizabhubha.
6Funani uJehova, niyakuphila; funa avuthe njengomlilo endlini kaJosefa, awuqede, kungabikho owucimayo eBethele.
7Wena ophendula ukwahlulela kube ngumhlonyane, umise ukulunga emhlabeni,
8Mfuneni owenza izinkanyezi eziyisikhombisa ne-Oriyoni, ophendula ithunzi lokufa libe ukusa, afiphaze imini nobusuku, obiza amanzi olwandle, awathululele emhlabeni: nguJehova igama lakhe.
9Abaqinisa abaphangiwe kwabanamandla, abaphangiweyo beze bemelene nenqaba.
10Bayamzonda okhuzayo esangweni, bamenyanya okhuluma ukulunga.
11Kusukela lapho ninyathela ompofu, nithatha isithungu senu, nakhe izindlu zamatshe abaziweyo, kepha aniyikuhlala kuzo; nitshale izivini ezithandekayo, kepha aniyikuphuza iwayini lazo.
12Ngokuba ngiyazazi iziphambeko zenu eziningi nezono zenu ezinamandla;
13Ngakho abahlakaniphileyo bayakuthula ngalesi sikhathi; ngoba kuyisikhathi esibi.
14Funani okuhle, hhayi okubi, ukuze niphile; kanjalo iNkosi, uNkulunkulu Sebawoti, ibe nani, njengalokho nikhulumile.
15Zondani okubi, nithande okuhle, nimise ukulunga esangweni; mhlawumbe uJehova uNkulunkulu Sebawoti uyakuba nomusa kuyo insali kaJosefa.
16Ngalokho usho kanje uJehova uNkulunkulu Sebawoti, uJehova, uthi: Kuyakuba khona ukulila ezitaladini zonke; futhi kuyo yonke imigwaqo bayothi: Maye! maye! futhi bayobiza umlimi ukuba alile, nalabo abakwaziyo ukusuka ekulileni baye ekulileni.
17Zonke izivini ziyakukhala, ngokuba ngiyakudabula phakathi kwakho,” usho uJehova.
18Maye kinina enifisa usuku lukaJehova! kuyini kuwe na? usuku lukaJehova luwubumnyama, alukona ukukhanya.
19Njengokungathi umuntu ubalekela ingonyama, ahlangane nebhere; noma engena endlini, wancika isandla sakhe odongeni, walunywa yinyoka.
20Usuku lukaJehova aluyikuba ngubumnyama, lungabi ngukukhanya na? ngisho emnyama kakhulu futhi akukho ukukhanya kuyo?
21Ngiyayizonda, ngiyayidelela imikhosi yenu, angiyikuhogela imikhosi yenu.
22Noma ningilethela iminikelo yenu yokushiswa neminikelo yenu eyenziwa ngomlilo, angiyikuthokoza ngayo; futhi angiyikunaka imihlatshelo yezinkomo zenu ezikhuluphele.
23Susa kimi umsindo wezingoma zakho; ngoba kangithandi ukuzwa ukuhlabelela kwezingubhu zenu.
24Kodwa ukwahlulela makugeleze njengamanzi, nokulunga njengomfula omkhulu.
25Langilethela yini imihlatshelo lezipho enkangala iminyaka engamatshumi amane, lina ndlu kaIsrayeli?
26Kepha nathwala itabernakele likaMoloki wenu noKiuni, izithombe zenu, inkanyezi kankulunkulu wenu enazenzela yona.
27Ngalokho ngiyakunithuma ekuthunjweni ngaphesheya kweDamaseku, usho uJehova ogama lakhe linguNkulunkulu Sebawoti.
