UAmos Chapter 4

1. Liveni eli lizwi, nina zimazi zaseBhashan, zisezintabeni zakwaSamari, zizicudisayo izisweli, ziwavikivayo amahlwempu, zithi ezinkosini zazo, Zisani sisele.

2. INkosi uYehova ifunge ubungcwele bayo, yathi, Yabonani, nizelwa yimihla eniya kuqweqwediswa ngamagwegwe, nabokugqibela kuni ngamaqerhu okubambisa iintlanzi.

3. Niya kuphuma ngamathuba okuqhekezwa kodonga, elowo aphume ngelilunge naye, niye kuphoswa eHarmon; utsho uYehova.

4. Yiyani eBheteli nikreqe; yiyani eGiligali, nandise ukukreqa; nizise imibingelelo yenu imiso ngemiso, nezishumi zenu kanye ngemihla emithathu;

5. niqhumisele umbingelelo wemibulelo ngento enegwele, nimemeze imibingelelo yokuqhutywa yintliziyo; memezani, kuba nithanda njalo, nyana bakaSirayeli; itsho iNkosi uYehova.

6. Kananjalo mna ndininike ubumsulwa bamazinyo emizini yenu yonke, nokusweleka kwesonka ezindaweni zenu zonke; anibuyanga nize kum noko; utsho uYehova.

7. Kananjalo mna ndayithintela imvula kuni, zisentathu iinyanga zokuba kuvunwe; ndayinisa komnye umzi, andayinisa komnye; esinye isahlulo somhlaba sanelwa yimvula, esinye isahlulo esinganelwanga satsha;

8. imizi emibini, emithathu, ibhadulele kumzi omnye, ukuze isele amanzi ingakholwa; anabuya nize kum noko; utsho uYehova.

9. Ndanibetha ngembabala nangexoshomba; imiyezo yenu nezidiliya zenu, nemikhiwane yenu, neminquma yenu emininzi, yadliwa yinkumbi enqunquthayo; anabuya nize kum noko utsho uYehova.

10. Ndathumela phakathi kwenu indyikitya yokufa, ngokuya kwaseYiputa, ndawabulala ngekrele amadodana enu, kwanamahashe enu angamaxhoba, ndanyusa ukunuka kweminquba yenu, kweza ezimpumlweni zenu; anabuya nize kum noko; utsho uYehova.

11. Ndibabhukuqile abanye benu, njengoko wabhukuqa ngako uThixo iSodom neGomora, naba njengesikhuni esinyothulwe emlilweni; anabuya nize kum noko; utsho uYehova.

12. Ngako oko ndiya kwenjenje kuwe, Sirayeli; ngokokuba ndiya kwenjenje ke kuwe, zilungiselele ukuhlangabeza uThixo wakho, Sirayeli.

13. Ngokuba, yabona, uloyila iintaba, ulodala umoya, uloxelela umntu into okuyiyo ukuthelekelela kwakhe, ulowenza mnyama isifingo, ulonyathela phezu kwemimango yehlabathi: nguYehova uThixo wemikhosi, igama lakhe.
