1 Amazwi ka-Amosi, obengowakubo abalusi baseTekowa, awawabonayo ngokusingisele kwaSirayeli, ngemihla kaUziya ukumkani wakwaYuda, ngemihla kaYarobheham unyana kaYowashe, ukumkani wakwaSirayeli, iminyaka emibini phambi konyikimo.
2 Wathi: UYehova uyabharhula eZiyon, akhuphe ilizwi lakhe eYerusalem, amakriwa abalusi enzè isijwili, incopho yeKarmele yomè.
3 Utsho uYehova ukuthi, Ngenxa yezikreqo ezithathu zeDamasko, ngenxa yeziné — andiyi kuyibuyisa umva le nto — ngenxa yokuba bambhuláyo uGiliyadi ngezibhulo zesinyithi:
4 ndiya kuphosa umlilo endlwini kaHazayeli, utshise iingxande ezinde zikaBhen-hadade.
5 Ndowaphula umvalo weDamasko, ndinqumle ummi wasesihlanjeni seAven, nophethe intonga yobukumkani eBhete-eden; bathinjwe abantu bakwa-Aram,* baye eKire; utsho uYehova.
6 Utsho uYehova ukuthi, Ngenxa yezikreqo ezithathu zeGaza, ngenxa yeziné — andiyi kuyibuyisa umva le nto — ngenxa yokuthimba kwabo abathinjwa ngokuzeleyo, ukuze babanikele kuEdom:
7 ndiya kuthumela umlilo eludongeni lweGaza, utshise iingxande zayo ezinde.
8 Ndomnqumla omiyo eAshdode, nophethe intonga yobukumkani eAshkelon; ndisibuyisele isandla sam phezu kwe-Ekron, atshabalale amasalela amaFilisti; itsho iNkosi uYehova.
9 Utsho uYehova ukuthi, Ngenxa yezikreqo ezithathu zeTire, ngenxa yeziné — andiyi kuyibuyisa umva le nto — ngenxa yokubanikela kwabo abathinjwa bephelele kuEdom, àbawukhumbula umnqophiso wobuzalwana:
10 ndiya kuthumela umlilo eludongeni lweTire, utshise iingxande zayo ezinde.
11 Utsho uYehova ukuthi, Ngenxa yezikreqo ezithathu zakwaEdom, ngenxa yeziné — andiyi kuyibuyisa umva le nto — ngenxa yokumsukelisa kwakhe umzalwana wakhe ngekrele, eyilahlile imfesaye yakhe, umsindo wakhe uhlala uqwenga, emana egcine ukuphuphuma komsindo wakhe:
12 ndiya kuthumela umlilo kwaTeman, utshise iingxande ezinde zaseBhotsera.
13 Utsho uYehova ukuthi, Ngenxa yezikreqo ezithathu zoonyana baka-Amon, ngenxa yeziné — andiyi kuyibuyisa umva le nto — ngenxa yokuqangqulula kwabo abamithiyo baseGiliyadi, ukuze bandise umda wabo:
14 ndiya kubàsa umlilo eludongeni lweRabha, utshise iingxande zayo ezinde, kúhlatywa umkhosi ngemini yokulwa, kúkho umoya ovuthuzayo ngemini yesaqhwithi.
15 Uya kuthinjwa emke ukumkani wabo, yena nabathetheli bakhe kunye naye; utsho uYehova.
