Amos 3
1 Heare this worde that the Lord pronounceth against you, O children of Israel, euen against the whole familie which I brought vp from the land of Egypt, saying,
Tande pawòl sa a ke SENYÈ a te pale kont nou menm, fis Israël yo; kont tout fanmi ke Li te mennen fè monte soti nan peyi Égypte la:
2 You onely haue I knowen of all the families of the earth: therefore I will visite you for all your iniquities.
“Nou sèlman, Mwen te chwazi pami tout fanmi sou latè yo. Akoz sa, Mwen va pini nou pou tout inikite nou yo.”
3 Can two walke together except they bee agreed?
Èske de mache ansanm, san yo pa antann yo?
4 Will a lion roare in ye forest, when he hath no pray? or wil a lions whelpe cry out of his den, if he haue taken nothing?
Èske yon lyon va gwonde nan rak bwa san ke li pa kaptire yon bagay? Èske yon jèn ti lyon ka kriye deyò tanyè a san li pa pran anyen?
5 Can a birde fall in a snare vpon the earth, where no fouler is? or will he take vp the snare from the earth, and haue taken nothing at all?
Èske yon zwazo ka kenbe nan yon pèlen atè, si resò a pa t rale? Èske pèlen an ka vòltije sòti atè, san ke li gen yon bagay pou kenbe?
6 Or shall a trumpet be blowen in the citie, and the people be not afraide? or shall there be euil in a citie, and the Lord hath not done it?
Èske twonpèt sone nan vil la, san pèp la p ap pè? Èske malè kon rive nan yon vil, san ke SENYÈ a ki fè l?
7 Surely the Lord God will doe nothing, but he reueileth his secrete vnto his seruantes the Prophets.
Anverite, SENYÈ a p ap fè anyen, san Li pa aveti sèvitè li yo, pwofèt yo.
8 The lyon hath roared: who will not bee afraide? the Lord God hath spoken: who can but prophecie?
Yon lyon fin gwonde! Se kilès ki p ap pè? SENYÈ a fin pale! Se kilès ki ka refize pwofetize?
9 Proclayme in the palaces at Ashdod, and in the palaces in the lande of Egypt, and saye, Assemble your selues vpon the mountaines of Samaria: so beholde the great tumultes in the middes thereof, and the oppressed in the middes thereof.
Pwoklame sou sitadèl Asdod yo, ak sitadèl peyi Égypte yo. Di yo konsa: Rasanble nou sou mòn Samarie yo pou wè gwo zen ki anndan yo, ak opresyon ki nan mitan yo.
10 For they knowe not to doe right, sayth the Lord: they store vp violence, and robbery in their palaces.
“Paske yo pa konn fè sa ki dwat,” di SENYÈ a, “sila yo k ap kache piyaj yo ak sa yo ranmase nan palè pa yo.”
11 Therefore thus saith the Lord God, An aduersary shall come euen rounde about the countrey, and shall bring downe thy strength from thee, and thy palaces shalbe spoyled.
Pou sa, konsa pale Senyè BONDYE a: “Yon lènmi va ranvwaye peyi a. Li va rale desann barikad ou yo, episitadèl ou yo va piyaje.”
12 Thus saieth the Lord, As the shephearde taketh out of the mouth of the lyon two legges, or a piece of an eare: so shall the children of Israel be taken out that dwell in Samaria in the corner of a bed, and in Damascus, as in a couche.
Konsa pale SENYÈ a: Menm jan bèje a rache de janm soti nan bouch lyon an, oswa yon mòso zòrèy, konsa, fis Israël ki rete Samarie yo, alèz sou bèl mèb yo, ak kousen swa yo sou kabann nan, va vin chape.
13 Heare, and testifie in the house of Iaakob, saith the Lord God, the God of hostes.
“Tande, e fè temwaye kont kay Jacob la,” di Senyè BONDYE a, Bondye dèzame yo.
14 Surely in the day that I shall visit the transgressions of Israel vpon him, I wil also visite the altars of Beth-el, and the hornes of the altar shall be broken off, and fall to the ground.
“Paske nan jou ke Mwen va vizite transgresyon Israël yo sou li, Mwen va anplis, vizite lotèl Béthel yo. Konsa, kòn lotèl yo va vin koupe retire nèt. Yo va tonbe atè.
15 And I wil smite the winter house with the sommer house, and the houses of yuorie shall perish, and the great houses shalbe consumed, sayth the Lord.
Kay sezon livè a, Mwen va frape ansanm avèk kay sezon lete a. Kay livwa yo va vin peri, e gran mezon yo p ap la ankò,” di Senyè a.
