Amos 6
1 Woe to you who have been wealthy in Zion, and to you who have confidence in the mountain of Samaria: aristocrats, heads of the people, who advance with a retinue into the house of Israel.
Sa pral rèd nèt pou moun k'ap mennen lavi dous nan peyi Siyon an, pou moun sou mòn Samari ki kwè pa gen danje pou yo! Yo pase pou lelit nan peyi Izrayèl, premye peyi sou latè. Se bò kote yo pèp la ap kouri vini. Yo di:
2 Cross over to Calneh and see, and go from there into Hamath the great, and descend into Gath of the Philistines, and to the best kingdoms of these, if their limits are wider than your limits.
Al gade sa k'ap pase lavil Kalne. Apre sa, ale pase bò gwo lavil Amat la. Lèfini, desann kay moun Filisti yo lavil Gat. Eske zafè yo pi bon pase zafè peyi Jida ak zafè peyi Izrayèl? Eske peyi yo a pi gran pase pa nou yo?
3 You have been set aside for the day of disaster, and you approach the throne of iniquity.
N'ap twonpe tèt nou, nou refize admèt jou malè a fin rive sou nou. Men, se nou menm ankò k'ap rale malè sou peyi a.
4 You sleep on beds of ivory, and you are lustful on your couches. You devour lambs from the flock and calves from the midst of the herd.
Sa pral rèd nèt pou moun ki kouche sou bèl kabann, k'ap layite kò yo sou bon matla dous, k'ap manje jenn ti mouton ak jenn ti bèf!
5 You sing to the sound of stringed instruments; they consider themselves to have the musical abilities of David.
Y'ap plede ranse pandan gita ap jwe. Yo kwè yo jwe mizik tankou David.
6 You drink wine in bowls, and you anoint with the best ointments; and they suffer nothing over the grief of Joseph.
Y'ap bwè diven san gad dèyè, y'ap pase pi bon kalite odè ki genyen sou yo. Men, yo pa gen lapenn pou malè k'ap tonbe sou pitit pitit Jozèf yo.
7 Because of this, now they will depart at the head of those who go into captivity; and the faction of the lustful will be removed.
Se poutèt sa, premye moun y'ap depòte se yo menm. Sosyete moun k'ap fè banbòch yo va disparèt.
8 The Lord God has sworn by his own soul, the Lord God of hosts says: I detest the arrogance of Jacob, and I hate his houses, and I will hand over the city with its inhabitants.
Seyè a, Bondye sèl Mèt la, te fè sèman sou tèt li. Men avètisman Seyè a, Bondye ki gen tout pouvwa a, bay: Mwen pa ka sipòte lògèy pèp Izrayèl la gen nan kè li. Mwen pa ka wè gwo kay y'ap plede bati yo. M'ap lage kapital la nan men lènmi ak tout moun ladan l'.
9 For if there were ten men remaining in one house, even they will die.
Si gen dis gason nan yon kay ki rete, y'ap touye yo.
10 And his closest relative will steal him away and will burn him, so that he may carry the bones out of the house. And he will say to him that is in the inner most rooms of the house, “Now is there any left that still belongs to you?” And he will answer, “It is finished.” And he will say to him, “Be silent and do not call to mind the name of the Lord.”
Lè yon fanmi moun mouri a va vin pran kadav la anndan kay la pou li al antere l', l'a pale ak moun ki nan fon kay la, l'a mande: Eske gen moun la ankò ak ou? Yon vwa va reponn: Non, pa genyen. Lè sa a, l'a di: Pe bouch nou! Pa nonmen non Bondye nan bagay sa a!
11 For behold, the Lord has commanded, and he will strike the greater house with catastrophes, and the lesser house with divisions.
Men lòd Seyè a bay: Y'ap kraze gwo kay yo an miyèt moso. Y'ap demoli ti kay yo.
12 Can horses gallop across rocks, or is anyone able to plough with gazelles? For you have turned judgment into bitterness and the fruit of justice into wormwood.
Eske chwal ka kouri sou glasi? Eske moun ka raboure lanmè avèk bèf? Men nou menm, nou fè lajistis tounen pwazon, nou fè inonsan pase pou koupab.
13 You rejoice in emptiness. You say, “Have we not, by our own strength, taken horns for ourselves?”
Nou fè kè nou kontan paske nou pran lavil Lodeba. N'ap plede di: O wi, se avèk fòs kouraj nou nou pran kòn lan.
14 For behold, house of Israel, I will raise up a people over you, says the Lord God of hosts, and they will crush you from the entrance of Hamath all the way to the burning of the desert.
Men sa Seyè a, li menm ki Bondye ki gen tout pouvwa a, di: Nou menm, moun Izrayèl, m'ap fè yon nasyon leve dèyè nou. Wi, se mwen menm menm k'ap fè sa, yon nasyon k'ap pran peyi a nan men nou, yon nasyon ki pral peze nou depi nan pas Amat nan nò rive jouk ravin Araba nan sid.
