Amòs 6
1 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:
Woe to them that are at ease in Zion and that are secure in the mountain of Samaria, the renowned of the first of the nations, to whom the house of Israel come.
2 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?
Pass unto Calneh, and see; and from thence go to Hamath the great; and go down to Gath of the Philistines: are they better than these kingdoms? or their border greater than your border?
3 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.
Ye that put far away the evil day, and cause the seat of violence to come near;
4 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!
that lie upon beds of ivory, and stretch themselves upon their couches, and eat the lambs out of the flock, and the calves from the midst of the stall;
5 Y'ap plede ranse pandan gita ap jwe. Yo kwè yo jwe mizik tankou David.
that chant to the sound of the lute, [and] invent them instruments of music, like David;
6 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.
that drink wine in bowls, and anoint themselves with the chief ointments; but are not grieved for the breach of Joseph.
7 Se poutèt sa, premye moun y'ap depòte se yo menm. Sosyete moun k'ap fè banbòch yo va disparèt.
Therefore shall they now go captive, with the first that go captive, and the revelry of them that stretched themselves shall pass away.
8 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'.
The Lord Jehovah hath sworn by himself, saith Jehovah, the God of hosts, I abhor the pride of Jacob, and hate his palaces; and I will deliver up the city with all that is therein.
9 Si gen dis gason nan yon kay ki rete, y'ap touye yo.
And it shall come to pass, if there remain ten men in one house, that they shall die.
10 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!
And a man's uncle, and he that should burn him, shall take him up to bring out the bones from the house, and shall say unto him that is in the inner parts of the house, Is there yet [any] with thee? and he shall say, None. And he will say, Silence! for we may not make mention of Jehovah's name.
11 Men lòd Seyè a bay: Y'ap kraze gwo kay yo an miyèt moso. Y'ap demoli ti kay yo.
For behold, Jehovah commandeth, and he will smite the great house with breaches, and the little house with clefts.
12 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.
Shall horses run upon the rock? will [men] plough [thereon] with oxen? For ye have turned judgment into gall, and the fruit of righteousness into wormwood,
13 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.
— ye that rejoice in a thing of nought, that say, Have we not taken to us power by our own strength?
14 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.
For behold, O house of Israel, saith Jehovah the God of hosts, I will raise up against you a nation; and they shall afflict you from the entering in of Hamath unto the torrent of the Arabah.
