Amos 1
1 THE WORDS of Amos, who was among the herdmen 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.
Maloba ya Amosi, moko kati na babateli bibwele ya mboka Tekoa. Azwaki emoniseli ya maloba oyo na tina na mokili ya Isalaele, mibu mibale liboso ete koningana ya mabele esalema, tango Oziasi azalaki mokonzi ya Yuda, mpe Jeroboami, mwana mobali ya Joasi, azalaki mokonzi ya Isalaele.
2 And he said: The LORD roareth from Zion, and uttereth His voice from Jerusalem; and the pastures of the shepherds shall mourn, and the top of Carmel shall wither.
Alobaki: Yawe azali koganga wuta na Siona, mpe azali koloba wuta na Yelusalemi, na mongongo makasi lokola kake. Matiti ya bitando epai wapi babateli bibwele baleisaka bibwele ekokawuka, mpe songe ya ngomba Karimeli ekokawuka.
3 For thus saith the LORD: For three transgressions of Damascus, yea, for four, I will not reverse it: because they have threshed Gilead with sledges of iron.
Tala liloba oyo Yawe alobi: « Likolo ya masumu misato to minei ya Damasi, nakozanga te kopesa bango etumbu, pamba te bakataki-kataki bato ya Galadi na nzela ya bibende oyo etimolaka mabele mpo na kosala bilanga.
4 So will I send a fire into the house of Hazael, and it shall devour the palaces of Ben-hadad;
Nakotia moto na ndako ya mokonzi Azaeli, mpe moto yango ekozikisa bandako ya mokonzi Beni-Adadi, oyo batonga makasi.
5 And I will break the bar of Damascus, and cut off the inhabitant from Bikath-Aven, and him that holdeth the sceptre from Beth-eden; and the people of Aram shall go into captivity unto Kir, saith the LORD.
Nakobuka ekuke ya Damasi, nakobebisa mokonzi ya bavandi ya Lubwaku ya Beti-Aveni, mpe oyo azali kokonza na Beti-Edeni; mpe bato ya Siri bakokende na bowumbu na Kiri, » elobi Yawe.
6 Thus saith the LORD: For three transgressions of Gaza, yea, for four, I will not reverse it: because they carried away captive a whole captivity, to deliver them up to Edom.
Tala liloba oyo Yawe alobi: « Likolo ya masumu misato to minei ya Gaza, nakozanga te kopesa bango etumbu, pamba te bamemaki bikolo ebele na bowumbu mpe batekaki bango na Edomi.
7 So will I send a fire on the wall of Gaza, and it shall devour the palaces thereof;
Nakotia moto na bamir ya Gaza, mpe moto yango ekozikisa bandako na yango, oyo batonga makasi.
8 And I will cut off the inhabitant from Ashdod, and him that holdeth the sceptre from Ashkelon; and I will turn My hand against Ekron, and the remnant of the Philistines shall perish, saith the Lord GOD.
Nakoboma mokonzi ya bavandi ya Asidodi mpe oyo azali kokonza na Ashikeloni. Nakobalukela engumba Ekroni kino tango moto ya suka kati na bato ya Filisitia akokufa, » elobi Nkolo Yawe.
9 Thus saith the LORD: For three transgressions of Tyre, yea, for four, I will not reverse it: because they delivered up a whole captivity to Edom, and remembered not the brotherly covenant.
Tala liloba oyo Yawe alobi: « Likolo ya masumu misato to minei ya Tiri, nakozanga te kopesa bango etumbu, pamba te bakabaki bato ebele na bowumbu epai ya bato ya Edomi mpe batosaki te boyokani ya bondeko.
10 So will I send a fire on the wall of Tyre, and it shall devour the palaces thereof.
Nakotia moto na bamir ya engumba Tiri, mpe moto yango ekozikisa bandako na yango, oyo batonga makasi. »
11 Thus saith the LORD: For three transgressions of Edom, yea, for four, I will not reverse it: because he did pursue his brother with the sword, and did cast off all pity, and his anger did tear perpetually, and he kept his wrath for ever.
Tala liloba oyo Yawe alobi: « Likolo ya masumu misato to minei ya Edomi, nakozanga te kopesa bango etumbu, pamba te balandaki bandeko na bango na mopanga, bayokelaki bango mawa te, kanda na bango ezalaki tango nyonso komata, mpe bayina bango wuta kala.
12 So will I send a fire upon Teman, and it shall devour the palaces of Bozrah.
Nakotia moto na engumba Temani, mpe moto yango ekozikisa bandako ya Botsira, oyo batonga makasi. »
13 Thus saith the LORD: For three transgressions of the children of Ammon, yea, for four, I will not reverse it: because they have ripped up the women with child of Gilead, that they might enlarge their border.
Tala liloba oyo Yawe alobi: « Likolo ya masumu misato to minei ya Amoni, nakozanga te kopesa bango etumbu, pamba te bapasolaki mabumu ya basi ya zemi ya Galadi mpo na koyeisa mokili na bango monene.
14 So will I kindle a fire in the wall of Rabbah, and it shall devour the palaces thereof, with shouting in the day of battle, with a tempest in the day of the whirlwind;
Nakotia moto na bamir ya engumba ya Raba, mpe moto yango ekozikisa bandako na yango, oyo batonga makasi, kati na koganga na mokolo ya bitumba, kati na mopepe makasi na mokolo ya ekumbaki.
15 And their king shall go into captivity, he and his princes together, saith the LORD.
Mokonzi na bango akokende na bowumbu, ye elongo na bakalaka na ye, » elobi Yawe.
