2. 2NMM“Ni ninyi tu niliowachagua kati ya jamaa zote za dunia; kwa hiyo nitawaadhibu kwa ajili ya dhambi zenu zote.”BSBBSB: “Only you have I known from all the families of the earth; therefore I will punish you for all your iniquities.”

4. 4NMMJe, simba hunguruma katika kichaka wakati hana mawindo? Aweza kuvuma katika pango wakati ambao hajakamata chochote?BSBBSB: Does a lion roar in the forest when he has no prey? Does a young lion growl in his den if he has caught nothing?
5. 5NMMJe, ndege aweza kuanguka kwenye mtego ulio ardhini ambapo hajategewa chambo? Je, mtego unaweza kufyatuka toka ardhini wakati hakuna chochote cha kunasa?BSBBSB: Does a bird land in a snare where no bait has been set? Does a trap spring from the ground when it has nothing to catch?
6. 6NMMJe, tarumbeta inapopigwa mjini kujulisha hatari, watu hawatetemeki? Mji unapopatwa na maafa, je, si Mwenyezi Mungu amesababisha?BSBBSB: If a ram’s horn sounds in a city, do the people not tremble? If calamity comes to a city, has not the LORD caused it?

9. 9NMMTangazeni katika ngome za Ashdodi na katika ngome za Misri: “Kusanyikeni juu ya milima ya Samaria; angalieni wingi wa wasiwasi ulio ndani yake, na uonevu ulio miongoni mwa watu wake.”BSBBSB: Proclaim to the citadels of Ashdod and to the citadels of Egypt: “Assemble on the mountains of Samaria; see the great unrest in the city and the acts of oppression in her midst.”
10. 10NMMMwenyezi Mungu asema: “Hawajui kutenda lililo jema, wale ambao hujilundikia nyara na vitu vilivyotekwa katika ngome zao.”BSBBSB: “For they know not how to do right,” declares the LORD. “They store up violence and destruction in their citadels.”
11. 11NMMKwa hiyo hili ndilo asemalo Bwana Mungu Mwenyezi: “Adui ataizingira nchi; ataangusha chini ngome zenu na kuteka nyara maboma yenu.”BSBBSB: Therefore this is what the Lord GOD says: “An enemy will surround the land; he will pull down your strongholds and plunder your citadels.”
12. 12NMMHili ndilo asemalo Mwenyezi Mungu: “Kama vile mchungaji aokoavyo kinywani mwa simba vipande viwili tu vya mfupa wa mguu au kipande cha sikio, hivyo ndivyo Waisraeli watakavyookolewa, wale wanaokaa Samaria kwenye kingo za vitanda vyao, na katika Dameski kwenye viti vyao vya fahari.”BSBBSB: This is what the LORD says: “As the shepherd snatches from the mouth of the lion two legs or a piece of an ear, so the Israelites dwelling in Samaria will be rescued having just the corner of a bed or the cushion of a couch.
