Amos 6
1 Woe to you that are wealthy in Sion, and to you that have confidence in the mountain of Samaria: ye great men, heads of the people, that go in with state 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 Pass ye over to Chalane, and see, and go from thence into Emath the great: and go down into Geth of the Philistines, and to all the best kingdoms of these: if their border be larger than your border.
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 that are separated unto the evil day: and that approach to 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 that sleep upon beds of ivory, and are wanton on your couches: that eat the lambs out of the flock, and the calves out of 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 that sing to the sound of the psaltery: they have thought themselves to have instruments of music like David;
Y'ap plede ranse pandan gita ap jwe. Yo kwè yo jwe mizik tankou David.
6 That drink wine in bowls, and anoint themselves with the best ointments: and they are not concerned for the affliction 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 Wherefore now they shall go captive at the head of them that go into captivity: and the faction of the luxurious ones shall be taken away.
Se poutèt sa, premye moun y'ap depòte se yo menm. Sosyete moun k'ap fè banbòch yo va disparèt.
8 The Lord God hath sworn by his own soul, saith the Lord the God of hosts: I detest the pride of Jacob, and I hate his houses, and I will deliver up the city with the inhabitants thereof.
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 And if there remain ten men in one house, they also shall die.
Si gen dis gason nan yon kay ki rete, y'ap touye yo.
10 And a man’s kinsman shall take him up, and shall burn him, that he may carry the bones out of the house; and he shall say to him that is in the inner rooms of the house: Is there yet any with thee? And he shall answer: There is an end. And he shall any to him: Hold thy peace, and mention not 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 hath commanded, and he will strike the greater house with breaches, and the lesser house with clefts.
Men lòd Seyè a bay: Y'ap kraze gwo kay yo an miyèt moso. Y'ap demoli ti kay yo.
12 Can horses run upon the rocks, or can any one plough with buffles? 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 that rejoice in a thing of nought: you that say: Have we not taken unto us horns by our own strength?
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 But behold, I will raise up a nation against you, O house of Israel, saith the Lord the God of hosts; and they shall destroy you from the entrance of Emath, even to the torrent 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.
