UAmosi uthethela ubizo lwakhe lobuprofeti
14Waphendula uAmosi, wathi kuAmatsiya, Àndimprofeti, àndinyana wamprofeti; ndingumalusi weenkomo, ndingumbuthi weziqhamo zomthombe. 15Kuba uYehova wandithabatha ndisalusa umhlambi, uYehova wathi kum, Yiya uprofete kubantu bam amaSirayeli. 16Ngoko ke live ilizwi likaYehova. Ùthi wena, Akuyi kuprofeta kumaSirayeli, akuyi kuwisa ntetho kwindlu kaIsake. 17Ngako oko, utsho uYehova ukuthi, Umfazi wakho uya kuhenyuza phakathi komzi, bawe likrele oonyana bakho neentombi zakho; umhlaba wakho wabiwe ngolutya, ke wena ufèle emhlabeni oyinqambi; amaSirayeli aya kuthinjwa, afuduswe emke elizweni lawo.
