Amòs 1
1 Men mesaj Amòs, yonn nan gadò mouton lavil Tekoa a, te bay. Se bagay Bondye te fè l' konnen sou pèp Izrayèl la, dezan anvan tranblemanntè a. Lè sa a, se Ozyas ki te wa nan peyi Jida, epi se Jewoboram, pitit Joas, ki te wa nan peyi Izrayèl.
The words of Amos, who was among the herdsmen of Tekoa, which he saw concerning Israel in the days of Uzziah king of Judah, and in the days of Jeroboam the son of Joash king of Israel, two years before the earthquake.
2 Amòs di: -Seyè a rete sou mòn Siyon, l'ap gwonde. Li rete lavil Jerizalèm, li pale byen fò. Lamenm, savann mouton yo fennen. Zèb ki sou tèt mòn Kamèl la cheche.
He said: "Jehovah will roar from Zion, and utter his voice from Jerusalem; and the pastures of the shepherds will mourn, and the top of Carmel will wither."
3 Seyè a di konsa: Moun peyi Damas yo ap plede fè peche sou peche san rete. Mwen fin pran desizyon m', mwen p'ap chanje lide. Yo maltrete moun peyi Galarad yo. Yo krabinen yo anba kout baton fè.
Thus says Jehovah: "For three transgressions of Damascus, yes, for four, I will not turn away its punishment; because they have threshed the pregnant women of Gilead with threshing instruments of iron;
4 M'ap voye dife sou kay kote wa Azayèl rete a. Dife a ap boule gwo kay wa Bennadad la ra tè.
but I will send a fire into the house of Hazael, and it will devour the palaces of Ben Hadad.
5 M'ap kraze pòtay lavil Damas la miyèt moso. M'ap disparèt moun ki rete nan Fon Avenn ansanm ak chèf ki kòmande lavil Betedenn lan. Y'a fè moun peyi Siri yo prizonye, y'a depòte yo nan peyi Kir. Se Seyè a menm ki di sa.
I will break the bar of Damascus, and cut off the inhabitant from the Valley of Wickedness, and him who holds the scepter from Beth Eden; and the people of Aram shall go into captivity to Kir," says Jehovah.
6 Seyè a di konsa: Moun lavil Gaza yo ap plede fè peche sou peche san rete. Mwen fin pran desizyon m', mwen p'ap chanje lide. Yo depòte tout yon nasyon. Yo vann yo tankou esklav bay moun Edon yo.
Thus says Jehovah: "For three transgressions of Gaza, yes, for four, I will not turn away its punishment; because they carried away captive the whole community, to deliver them up to Edom;
7 M'ap voye dife sou miray lavil Gaza. L'ap boule gwo kay yo ra tè.
but I will send a fire on the wall of Gaza, and it will devour its palaces.
8 M'ap disparèt moun ki kòmande lavil Asdòd ansanm ak chèf ki rete nan lavil Askalon an. M'ap pini lavil Ekwon an. Tout rès moun Filisti yo pral mouri. Se Seyè a menm, Bondye a, ki di sa.
I will cut off the inhabitant from Ashdod, and him who holds the scepter from Ashkelon; and I will turn my hand against Ekron; and the remnant of the Philistines will perish," says Jehovah.
9 Seyè a di konsa: Moun peyi Tir yo ap plede fè peche sou peche san rete. Mwen fin pran desizyon m', mwen p'ap chanje lide. Yo depòte tout yon nasyon. Yo vann yo tankou esklav bay moun Edon yo. Yo pa respekte kondisyon yo te pase pou yo viv yonn ak lòt tankou frè ak frè.
Thus says Jehovah: "For three transgressions of Tyre, yes, for four, I will not turn away its punishment; because they delivered up the whole community to Edom, and did not remember the brotherly covenant;
10 Se poutèt sa, m'ap voye dife sou miray lavil Tir. L'ap boule gwo kay li yo ra tè.
but I will send a fire on the wall of Tyre, and it will devour its palaces."
11 Seyè a di konsa: Moun lavil Edon yo ap plede fè peche sou peche san rete. Mwen fin pran desizyon m', mwen p'ap chanje lide. Yo kouri dèyè frè yo ak nepe pou yo touye yo. Yo san pitye pou yo. Kòlè yo pa gen limit. Yo toujou kenbe yo nan kè yo.
Thus says Jehovah: "For three transgressions of Edom, yes, for four, I will not turn away its punishment; because he pursued his brother with the sword, and cast off all pity, and his anger raged continually, and he kept his wrath forever;
12 Se poutèt sa, m'ap voye dife nan lavil Teman. L'a boule gwo kay lavil Bozra yo ra tè.
but I will send a fire on Teman, and it will devour the palaces of Bozrah."
13 Seyè a di konsa: Moun lavil Amon yo ap plede fè peche sou peche san rete. Mwen fin pran desizyon m', mwen p'ap chanje lide. Nan fè lagè pou yo ka gen plis tè, yo rive devantre fanm ansent peyi Galarad yo.
Thus says Jehovah: "For three transgressions of the people of Ammon, yes, for four, I will not turn away its punishment; because they have ripped open the pregnant women of Gilead, that they may enlarge their border.
14 Se poutèt sa, m'ap limen yon dife sou miray lavil Raba. L'a boule gwo kay yo ra tè. Se lè sa a w'a tande rèl moun k'ap goumen nan lagè yo, tankou bri van siklòn k'ap pase.
But I will kindle a fire in the wall of Rabbah, and it will devour its palaces, with shouting in the day of battle, with a storm in the day of the whirlwind;
15 Y'a fè wa yo ak tout chèf yo prizonye. Y'a depòte yo. Se Seyè a menm ki di sa.
and their king will go into captivity, he and his officials together," says Jehovah.
