1 La ngamazwi ka-Amos, owayengomnye wabafuyi baseTekowa, abhekiselele koko wakubonayo ngokuphathelele kumaSirayeli, ngexesha u-Uziya wayengukumkani kwaJuda, yena uJerobhowam unyana kaJowashe engukumkani kwaSirayeli, iminyaka emibini phambi kwenyikima.
2 Wathetha wenjenje uAmos:“*UNdikhoyo angabharhumla kwintab' iZiyon,iziwi lakhe lingazongoma livela ngaseJerusalem,amadlelo atsho abharhe,yona incopho yentaba iKarmele itshaze.”
3 Utsho *uNdikhoyo ukuthi:“Nokuba iDamasko yayone izihlandlo zazithathungendingasirhoxisanga isohlwayo sam.Kambe ke suke yagqithisa ngokona isihlandlo sesine.Kaloku ibhule iGiliyadi ngesileyi sokubhula esimazinyo ayintsimbi.
4 Ngoko ke ndiza kulintumeka ngomlilo ibhotwe likaHazayeli,zitshe ziphele nqu iinqaba zikaBhenadadi.
5 Ndiza kuwadiliza amasango aseDamasko,ndibasiphule neengcambu abemi bentili yaseAvenkunye nezo ziphathamandla zaseBhete-eden.Ama-Aram aya kuthinjwa, asiwe eKire.”Utsho uNdikhoyo.
6 Utsho *uNdikhoyo ukuthi:“Nokuba iGaza yayone izihlandlo zazithathungendingasirhoxisanga isohlwayo sam.Kambe ke suke yagqithisa ngokona isihlandlo sesine.Kaloku bona bathimba isizwe siphela,basithengisa saba ngamakhoboka kwaEdom.
7 Ngoko ke ndiza kuluntumeka ngomlilo udonga lwaseGaza,zitshe ziphele nqu iinqaba zalapho,
8 ndibasiphule neengcambu abemi baseAshdodekunye nezo ziphathamandla zaseAshkelon,ndiziphanzise iidolophu zase-Ekron,kungasali nempunde le kumaFilistiya.”Itsho iNkosi uNdikhoyo.
9 Utsho *uNdikhoyo ukuthi:“Nokuba iTire yayone izihlandlo zazithathungendingasirhoxisanga isohlwayo sam.Kambe ke suke yagqithisa ngokona isihlandlo sesine.Kaloku bona bathimba isizwe siphela,basithengisa saba ngamakhoboka kwaEdom,suka bawutyeshela umnqophiso wobuzalwana.
10 Ngoko ke ndiza kuluntumeka ngomlilo udonga lwaseTire,zitshe ziphele nqu iinqaba zalapho.”
11 Utsho *uNdikhoyo ukuthi:“Nokuba amaEdom ayone izihlandlo zazithathungendingasirhoxisanga isohlwayo sam.Kambe ke suke agqithisa ngokona isihlandlo sesine.Kaloku wona awaqweqwedisa ngekrele amawabo,ayitsho yaphela tu imfobe yokuzalana,awaqwenga enomsindo ongapheliyo,umsindo ongathibazekiyo.
12 Ngoko ke ndiza kuyintumeka ngomlilo iTeman,zitshe ziphele nqu iinqaba zaseBhozera.”
13 Utsho *uNdikhoyo ukuthi:“Nokuba ama-Amon ayone izihlandlo zazithathungendingasirhoxisanga isohlwayo sam.Kambe ke suke agqithisa ngokona isihlandlo sesine.Kaloku wona aqangqulula abafazi abakhulelweyo baseGiliyadiukuze bandise imida yabo.
14 Ngoko ke ndiza kuluntumeka ngomlilo udonga lwaseRabha,zitshe ziphele nqu iinqaba zalapho.Kovakala intlaba-mkhosi mhla ngedabi,kuvuthuze umoyakazi ngemini yesaqhwithi.
15 Uya kuthinjwa ukumkani wawo,yena kunye namaphakathi akhe.”Utsho uNdikhoyo.
