8 UYehova wathi kum, Ùbona ntoni na, Amosi? Ndathi, Ilothe yokulungelelanisa. Yathi iNkosi, Yabona, ndibeka ilothe esazulwini sabantu bam amaSirayeli; andiyi kubuya ndiphinde ndidlule kubo.
9 Ziya kuchithwa izigánga zakwaIsake, zibe ngamanxuwa iingcwele zakwaSirayeli, ndisukèle phezulu kwindlu kaYarobheham ngekrele.
10 UAmatsiya, umbingeleli waseBheteli, wathumela kuYarobheham ukumkani wakwaSirayeli, esithi, Ukucebile uAmosi esazulwini sendlu kaSirayeli; ilizwe alinakuwanyamezela onke amazwi akhe.
11 Ngokuba uAmosi utsho ukuthi, Úya kufa likrele uYarobheham, amaSirayeli aya kuthinjwa, afuduswe emke elizweni lawo.
12 Wathi uAmatsiya kuAmosi, Mboni, hamba, urhole uye ezweni lakwaYuda, udle khona isonka sakho, uprofete khona;
13 kodwa uze ungabi saphinda uprofete eBheteli, kuba yingcwele yokumkani khona, yindlu yakomkhulu leyo.
14 Waphendula uAmosi, wathi kuAmatsiya, Àndimprofeti, àndinyana wamprofeti; ndingumalusi weenkomo, ndingumbuthi weziqhamo zomthombe.
