1 Nanku engakutshengiswa nguThixo Wobukhosi: isitsha esilezithelo ezivuthiweyo. 2 Wangibuza wathi, "Kuyini okubonayo, Amosi?"

Mina ngaphendula ngathi, "Yisitsha esilezithelo ezivuthiweyo."

UThixo wasesithi kimi, "Isikhathi sabantu bami bako-Israyeli sesifikile; kangisabaxoleli futhi.

3 Ngalolosuku, izingoma zethempelini zizaphenduka zibe yikulila. Izidumbu ezinengi kakhulu zidaklazelwe indawo yonke! Thulani!" Kutsho uThixo Wobukhosi.

4 Zwanini lokhu, lina elincindezela abaswelayo njalo

lichitha labayanga elizweni,

5 lisithi,

"Ukuthwasa kweNyanga Entsha kuzaphela nini

ukuze sithengise amabele,

leSabatha lidlule

ukuze sithengise ingqoloyi na?"

Sinciphise isilinganiso,

sikhweze intengo

siqilibezele ngezilinganiso zenkohliso,

6 sithenge abayanga ngesiliva,

abaswelayo sibathenge ngamanyathelo,

sithengise lamakhoba ngengqoloyi.

7 UThixo ufungile ngokuziQhenya kukaJakhobe wathi, "Angisoze ngakhohliswa loba yini abayenzileyo.

8 Ilizwe kaliyikuthuthumela ngalokhu yini

labo bonke abahlala kulo kabayikulila na?

Ilizwe lonke lizaqubuka njengeNayili;

lizadungeka beselitshona phansi

njengomfula waseGibhithe.

9 Ngalolosuku," kutsho uThixo Wobukhosi,

"ngizakwenza ilanga litshone emini,

ngenze emhlabeni kube mnyama emini ekhanyayo.

10 Ngizaphendula imikhosi yenu yokukhonza ibe yikulila

lokuhlabelela kwenu konke kube yikukhala.

Lonke ngizalenza ligqoke amasaka,

njalo liphuce amakhanda enu.

Lesosikhathi ngizasenza sifane lokulilela indodana eyiyo yodwa

lokuphela kwaso kube njengosuku olubuhlungu.

11 Insuku ziyeza, kutsho uThixo Wobukhosi,

lapho engizathumela khona indlala elizweni

hatshi indlala yokudla kumbe ukomela amanzi,

kodwa indlala yokuzwa amazwi kaThixo.

12 Abantu bazaphamazela besuka elwandle besiya elwandle,

njalo bazule kusukela enyakatho kusiya empumalanga,

bedinga ilizwi likaThixo,

kodwa kabayikulithola.

13 Ngalolosuku

izintombi ezinhle lezinsizwa eziqinileyo

zizaqaleka ngenxa yokoma.

14 Bona labo abafunga ngesono seSamariya,

loba bathi, ‘Ngeqiniso

njengoba unkulunkulu wakho ephila, wena Dani,’

loba bathi, ‘Ngeqiniso

njengoba unkulunkulu waseBherishebha ephila,’

bazakuwa, bangaphindi bavuke futhi."
