< Amos 6 >

1 Woe to them that are at ease in Zion and trust in the moutaine of Samaria, which were famous at the beginning of the nations: and the house of Israel came to them.
Mune nhamo imi makavarairwa muZioni, nemi munofunga kuti mugere pakasimba paGomo reSamaria, imi varume vanozivikanwa vorudzi rukuru, kunoenda vanhu veIsraeri!
2 Goe you vnto Calneh, and see: and from thence goe you to Hamath the great: then goe downe to Gath of the Philistims: be they better then these kingdomes? or the border of their land greater then your border,
Endai kuKarine mundoritarisa; muchibvapo moenda kuHamati guta guru, uye mozodzika kuGati muFiristia. Vari nani kupfuura umambo hwenyu huviri here?
3 Ye that put farre away the euill day, and approch to the seate of iniquitie?
Munoti zuva rakaipa ngarirege kusvika muchiswededza pedyo utongi hwokuvhundutsira.
4 They lie vpon beddes of yuorie, and stretch themselues vpon their beddes, and eate the lambes of the flocke, and the calues out of the stall.
Munovata pamibhedha yenyanga dzenzou, muchizorora pazvigaro zvenyu. Munodya makwayana akaisvonaka nemhuru dzakakodzwa.
5 They sing to the sounde of the viole: they inuent to themselues instruments of musike like Dauid.
Munoridza zvenyu mbira dzenyu saDhavhidhi, uye munozvigadzirira zviridzwa.
6 They drinke wine in bowles, and anoynt themselues with the chiefe ointments, but no man is sory for the affliction of Ioseph.
Munonwa waini yakawanda, muchizora mafuta akaisvonaka, asi hamuchemi nokuda kwamatongo aJosefa.
7 Therefore nowe shall they go captiue with the first that go captiue, and the sorow of them that stretched themselues, is at hand.
Naizvozvo muchava pakati pevachatanga kuenda kuutapwa; mabiko enyu nokuzorora kwenyu zvichapera.
8 The Lord God hath sworne by himselfe, saith the Lord God of hostes, I abhorre the excellencie of Iaakob, and hate his palaces: therefore wil I deliuer vp the citie with all that is therein.
Ishe Jehovha akapika naiye pachake, Jehovha Mwari Wamasimba Ose anoti, “Ndinosema kuzvikudza kwaJakobho, uye ndinovenga nhare dzake; ndichaisa guta kuvavengi nezvose zviri mariri.”
9 And if there remaine ten men in one house, they shall die.
Kana varume gumi vakasiyiwa muimba imwe chete naivowo vachafa.
10 And his vncle shall take him vp and burne him to cary out the bones out of the house, and shall say vnto him, that is by ye sides of the house, Is there yet any with thee? And he shall say, None. Then shall he say, Holde thy tongue: for we may not remember the Name of the Lord.
Uye kana hama inofanira kupisa mitumbi ikauya kuzovabudisa mumba, uye ikabvunza munhu achakahwanda imomo ichiti, “Pane mumwe waunaye here?” uye akati, “Kwete,” ipapo iye achati, “Nyarara! Hatifaniri kuti titaure zita raJehovha.”
11 For behold, the Lord commandeth, and he will smite the great house with breaches, and the litle house with clefts.
Nokuti Jehovha akarayira, uye achaparadza imba huru igoita murwi, nemba duku igoti mwarara.
12 Shal horses runne vpon the rocke? or wil one plowe there with oxen? for yee haue turned iudgement into gall, and the fruite of righteousnes into wormewood.
Ko, mabhiza angamhanya paruware here? Ko, pane angaparima ipapo nemombe here? Asi makashandura kururamisira mukakuita muchetura, nechibereko chokururama mukachiita gavakava,
13 Ye reioyce in a thing of nought: yee say, Haue not wee gotten vs hornes by our owne strength?
imi munopembera pakukundwa kweRo Dhibhari uye munoti, “Hatina kuzvitorera Karinaini nesimba redu here?”
14 But behold, I wil raise vp against you a nation, O house of Israel, sayeth the Lord God of hostes: and they shall afflict you, from the entring in of Hamath vnto the riuer of the wildernes.
Nokuti Jehovha Mwari Wamasimba Ose anoti, “Ndichakumutsirai rumwe rudzi kuti rukumukirei, imi imba yaIsraeri, ruchakutambudzai panzira yenyu yose, kubva kuRebho Hamati kusvikira kumupata weArabha.”
