Amos 4

1 Hear this word, ye fat kine that are in the mountains of Samaria: you that oppress the needy, and crush the poor: that say to your masters: Bring, and we will drink.

Montie asɛm yi, mo Basan “anantwie” a mowɔ Bepɔ Samaria so, mo mmaa a mohyɛ ahiafoɔ so, na moka mmɔborɔwa hyɛ na moka kyerɛ mo kununom sɛ, “Mommrɛ yɛn nsã!”

2 The Lord God hath sworn by his holiness, that lo, the days shall come upon you, when they shall lift you up on pikes, and what shall remain of you in boiling pots.

Otumfoɔ Awurade de ne kronkronyɛ aka ntam sɛ, “Ampa ara ɛberɛ no bɛba a wɔde nkawa bɛtwe mo akɔ mo mu deɛ ɔtwa toɔ no wɔde nsuomnam darewa bɛtwe no.

3 And you shall go out at the breaches one over against the other, and you shall be cast forth into Armon, saith the Lord.

Momu biara bɛpue akɔ, na mobɛfa ɔfasuo mu ntokuro mu, na wɔbɛto mo atwene Harmon fam,” sɛdeɛ Awurade seɛ nie.

4 Come ye to Bethel, and do wickedly: to Galgal, and multiply transgressions: and bring in the morning your victims, your tithes in three days.

“Monkɔ Bet-El nkɔyɛ bɔne na monkɔ Gilgal na mo nkɔyɛ bɔne ara. Momfa mo afɔrebɔdeɛ mmra anɔpa biara, na momfa mo ntotosoɔ dudu mmra mfeɛ mmiɛnsa biara.

5 And offer a sacrifice of praise with leaven: and call free offerings, and proclaim it: for so you would do, O children of Israel, saith the Lord God.

Monhye mmɔreka burodo sɛ aseda afɔdeɛ; Momfa ayɛyɛdeɛ a ɛfiri mo pɛ mu nhoahoa mo ho, na momfa ntu mo ho, mo Israelfoɔ, na yei ne deɛ mopɛ sɛ moyɛ,” sɛdeɛ Otumfoɔ Awurade seɛ nie.

6 Whereupon I also have given you dulness of teeth in all your cities, and want of bread in all your places: yet you have not returned to me, saith the Lord.

“Memaa yafunu daa mpan wɔ kuropɔn biara mu na aduane ho yɛɛ den wɔ nkuro so, nanso monnsane mmaa me nkyɛn,” sɛdeɛ Awurade seɛ nie.

7 I also have withholden the rain from you, when there were yet three months to the harvest: and I caused it to rain upon one city, and caused it not to rain upon another city: one piece was rained upon: and the piece whereupon I rained not, withered.

“Mesane de osutɔ kamee mo ɛberɛ a aka abosome mmiɛnsa na otwa berɛ no aduru. Memaa osuo tɔɔ wɔ kuro baako so na mamma antɔ wɔ kuro foforɔ so. Afuo baako nyaa osutɔ afuo foforɔ annya bi na ɛhyeeɛ.

8 And two and three cities went to one city to drink water, and were not filled: yet you returned not to me, saith the Lord.

Nnipa totɔɔ ntentan kyinii nkuro so pɛɛ nsuo nanso wɔannya dodo a ɛbɛso wɔn nom, nanso, monnsane mmaa me nkyɛn,” sɛdeɛ Awurade seɛ nie.

9 I struck you with a burning wind, and with mildew, the palmerworm hath eaten up your many gardens, and your vineyards: your olive groves, and fig groves: yet you returned not to me, saith the Lord.

“Mpɛn bebree no mede nnɔbaeɛ yadeɛ ba mo mfikyifuo ne mo bobefuo so. Ntutummɛ sɛee mo borɔdɔma ne mo ngo nnua, nanso monnsane mmaa me nkyɛn,” sɛdeɛ Awurade seɛ nie.

10 I sent death upon you in the way of Egypt, I slew your young men with the sword, even to the captivity of your horses: and I made the stench of your camp to come up into your nostrils: yet you returned not to me, saith the Lord.

“Mede ɔyaredɔm baa mo so sɛdeɛ mede yɛɛ Misraimfoɔ no, mede akofena kunkumm mo mmeranteɛ ne apɔnkɔ a mofaa wɔn nnommum. Mede mo nsramu hwa a ɛbɔn hyɛnee mo hwene mu, nanso, monnsane mmaa me nkyɛn,” sɛdeɛ Awurade seɛ nie.

11 I destroyed some of you, as God destroyed Sodom and Gomorrha, and you were as a firebrand plucked out of the burning: yet you returned not to me, saith the Lord.

“Metuu mo mu bi guiɛ sɛdeɛ metɔree Sodom ne Gomora ase no. Moyɛɛ sɛ gyentia a wɔatu afiri ogya mu. Nanso, monnsane mmaa me nkyɛn,” sɛdeɛ Awurade seɛ nie.

12 Therefore I will do these things to thee, O Israel: and after I shall have done these things to thee, be prepared to meet thy God, O Israel.

“Enti afei, Israel, deɛ mede bɛyɛ wo nie, na ɛsiane sɛ mede yei bɛyɛ wo enti, siesie wo ho, Ao Israel. Hyia wo Onyankopɔn.”

13 For behold he that formeth the mountains and createth the wind, and declareth his word to man, he that maketh the morning mist, and walketh upon the high places of the earth: the Lord the God of hosts is his name.

Deɛ ɔyɛ mmepɔ na ɔbɔ mframa na ɔda nʼadwene adi kyerɛ nnipa, deɛ ɔma adekyeɛ hann dane esum na ɔnante asase sorɔnsorɔmmea so no. Asafo Awurade Onyankopɔn ne ne din.
