< Amos 4 >

1 Ye fatte kien, that ben in the hil of Samarie, here this word; whiche maken fals caleng to nedi men, and breken pore men; which seien to youre lordis, Bringe ye, and we schulen drynke.
Nou menm, gwo fanm peyi Samari yo, nou gra tankou manman bèf Bazan. N'ap maltrete malere yo, n'ap peze pòv yo, epi n'ap di mari nou yo pote diven ban nou bwè.
2 The Lord God swoor in his hooli, for lo! daies schulen come on you; and thei schulen reise you in schaftis, and youre remenauntis in buylynge pottis.
Koute sa Seyè a di: Seyè a se yon moun apa. Se yon Bondye tout bon. Li fè sèman sou tèt li. Li di konsa: Yon jou gen pou rive, y'ap fwennen nou tankou pwason ki pran nan zen. Y'ap pote nou tout ale.
3 And ye schulen go out bi the openyngis, oon ayens another, and ye schulen be cast forth in to Armon, seith the Lord.
Y'a fè nou pase nan twou ki nan miray la, de pye devan, yonn apre lòt. Y'ap voye nou jete deyò. Se Seyè a menm ki di sa.
4 Come ye to Bethel, and do ye wickidli; to Galgala, and multiplie ye trespassyng; and offre ye eerli youre sacrifices, in thre daies youre tithis.
Seyè a di konsa: Nou menm, pèp Izrayèl, se sa! Moute nan tanp lavil Betèl yo, al fè peche! Ale lavil Gilgal, peche kont kò nou! Chak maten, mennen bèt pou yo touye tankou ofrann bay Bondye! Chak twa jou, pote ladim nou!
5 And sacrifice ye heriyng of breed maad sour, and clepe ye wilful offryngis, and telle ye; for ye, sones of Israel, wolden so, seith the Lord God.
Ale non! Ofri pen nou bay Bondye pou di l' mèsi! Mache di toupatou jan nou fè ofrann ak tout kè nou bay Bondye! Apa konsa nou renmen fè, pèp Izrayèl! Se Seyè a menm ki di sa.
6 Wherfor and Y yaf to you astonying of teeth in alle youre citees, and nedinesse of looues in alle youre places; and ye turneden not ayen to me, seith the Lord.
Se mwen menm ki te fè grangou tonbe sou tout lavil nou yo, kifè nou pa t' ka jwenn manje lakay nou. Malgre sa, nou pa tounen vin jwenn mwen. Se Seyè a menm ki di sa.
7 Also Y forbeed reyn fro you, whanne thre monethis weren yit `to comyng, til to ripe corn; and Y reynede on o citee, and on another citee Y reynede not; o part was bireyned, and the part driede vp on which Y reynede not.
Lè jaden nou tapral pote rekòt, mwen pa t' kite lapli tonbe. Mwen voye lapli sou yon lavil, mwen fè yon lòt rete san yon grenn lapli. Yon jaden jwenn lapli, yon lòt menm ap mouri.
8 And tweyne and thre citees camen to o citee, to drynke watir, and tho weren not fillid; and ye camen not ayen to me, seith the Lord.
Moun soti nan de twa lavil ale nan yon lavil nan vwazinaj al mande dlo, men pa t' gen ase pou yo tout bwè. Malgre sa, nou pa tounen vin jwenn mwen. Se Seyè a menm ki di sa.
9 Y smoot you with brennynge wynd, and with rust, the multitude of youre orcherdis, and of youre vyneris; and a wort worm eet youre olyue places, and youre fige places; and ye camen not ayen to me, seith the Lord.
Mwen voye yon van cho kou dife boule tout rekòt yo. Krikèt vèt manje tout jaden nou yo ak tout pye rezen nou yo, tout pye fig frans nou yo ak tout pye oliv nou yo. Malgre sa, nou pa tounen vin jwenn mwen. Se Seyè a menm ki di sa.
10 Y sente in to you deth in the weie of Egipt, Y smoot with swerd youre yonge men, `til to the caitifte of youre horsis, and Y made the stynk of youre oostis to stie in to youre nose thirlis; and ye camen not ayen to me, seith the Lord.
Mwen voye malè sou nou tankou malè mwen te voye sou peyi Lejip la. Mwen touye jenn gason nou yo nan lagè. Mwen te pran tout chwal nou yo mennen ale. Sant kadav moute nan nen nou tout kote nou rete a. Malgre sa, nou pa tounen vin jwenn mwen. Se Seyè a menm ki di sa.
11 Y distriede you, as God distriede Sodom and Gomorre, and ye ben maad as a brond rauyschid of brennyng; and ye turneden not ayen to me, seith the Lord.
Mwen detwi kèk nan nou, menm jan mwen te detwi moun Sodòm ak moun Gomò yo. Sa ki te sove nan nou yo, se tankou yon bout bwa ki pran dife, epi yo kouri wete l' nan dife a pou li pa fin boule. Malgre sa, nou pa tounen vin jwenn mwen. Se Seyè a menm ki di sa.
12 Wherfor, thou Israel, Y schal do these thingis to thee; but aftir that Y schal do to thee these thingis, Israel, be maad redi in to ayen comyng of thi God.
Se poutèt sa, nou menm moun pèp Izrayèl, mwen pral pini nou. E paske mwen pral pini nou konsa a, nou mèt pare kò nou pou n'a l' kontre ak Bondye nou an.
13 For lo! he fourmeth hillis, and makith wynd, and tellith to man his speche; and he makith a `morew myist, and goith on hiy thingis of erthe; the Lord God of oostis is the name of hym.
Se Bondye ki te fè mòn yo. Se li menm ki te kreye van yo. Li fè lèzòm konnen lide li gen nan tèt li. Li fè lajounen soti nan lannwit. L'ap gouvènen sou tout latè. Se poutèt sa, men jan yo rele l': Seyè a, Bondye ki gen tout pouvwa a.
