Amos 1
1 The words of Amos, who was among the herdsmen 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.
Men mesaj Amòs, yonn nan gadò mouton lavil Tekoa a, te bay. Se bagay Bondye te fè l' konnen sou pèp Izrayèl la, dezan anvan tranblemanntè a. Lè sa a, se Ozyas ki te wa nan peyi Jida, epi se Jewoboram, pitit Joas, ki te wa nan peyi Izrayèl.
2 And he said, Jehovah will roar from Zion, and utter his voice from Jerusalem, and the pastures of the shepherds shall mourn, and the top of Carmel shall wither.
Amòs di: -Seyè a rete sou mòn Siyon, l'ap gwonde. Li rete lavil Jerizalèm, li pale byen fò. Lamenm, savann mouton yo fennen. Zèb ki sou tèt mòn Kamèl la cheche.
3 Thus says Jehovah: For three transgressions of Damascus, yea, for four, I will not turn away the punishment of it, because they have threshed Gilead with threshing instruments of iron.
Seyè a di konsa: Moun peyi Damas yo ap plede fè peche sou peche san rete. Mwen fin pran desizyon m', mwen p'ap chanje lide. Yo maltrete moun peyi Galarad yo. Yo krabinen yo anba kout baton fè.
4 But I will send a fire into the house of Hazael, and it shall devour the palaces of Ben-hadad.
M'ap voye dife sou kay kote wa Azayèl rete a. Dife a ap boule gwo kay wa Bennadad la ra tè.
5 And I will break the bar of Damascus, and cut off the inhabitant from the valley of Aven, and he who holds the scepter from the house of Eden, and the people of Syria shall go into captivity to Kir, says Jehovah.
M'ap kraze pòtay lavil Damas la miyèt moso. M'ap disparèt moun ki rete nan Fon Avenn ansanm ak chèf ki kòmande lavil Betedenn lan. Y'a fè moun peyi Siri yo prizonye, y'a depòte yo nan peyi Kir. Se Seyè a menm ki di sa.
6 Thus says Jehovah: For three transgressions of Gaza, yea, for four, I will not turn away the punishment of it, because they carried away captive the whole people, to deliver them up to Edom.
Seyè a di konsa: Moun lavil Gaza yo ap plede fè peche sou peche san rete. Mwen fin pran desizyon m', mwen p'ap chanje lide. Yo depòte tout yon nasyon. Yo vann yo tankou esklav bay moun Edon yo.
7 But I will send a fire on the wall of Gaza, and it shall devour the palaces of it.
M'ap voye dife sou miray lavil Gaza. L'ap boule gwo kay yo ra tè.
8 And I will cut off the inhabitant from Ashdod, and him who holds the scepter from Ashkelon. And I will turn my hand against Ekron, and the remnant of the Philistines shall perish, says the lord Jehovah.
M'ap disparèt moun ki kòmande lavil Asdòd ansanm ak chèf ki rete nan lavil Askalon an. M'ap pini lavil Ekwon an. Tout rès moun Filisti yo pral mouri. Se Seyè a menm, Bondye a, ki di sa.
9 Thus says Jehovah: For three transgressions of Tyre, yea, for four, I will not turn away the punishment of it, because they delivered up the whole people to Edom, and did not remember the brotherly covenant.
Seyè a di konsa: Moun peyi Tir yo ap plede fè peche sou peche san rete. Mwen fin pran desizyon m', mwen p'ap chanje lide. Yo depòte tout yon nasyon. Yo vann yo tankou esklav bay moun Edon yo. Yo pa respekte kondisyon yo te pase pou yo viv yonn ak lòt tankou frè ak frè.
10 But I will send a fire on the wall of Tyre, and it shall devour the palaces of it.
Se poutèt sa, m'ap voye dife sou miray lavil Tir. L'ap boule gwo kay li yo ra tè.
11 Thus says Jehovah: For three transgressions of Edom, yea, for four, I will not turn away the punishment of it, because he pursued his brother with the sword, and cast off all pity. And his anger tore perpetually, and he kept his wrath forever.
Seyè a di konsa: Moun lavil Edon yo ap plede fè peche sou peche san rete. Mwen fin pran desizyon m', mwen p'ap chanje lide. Yo kouri dèyè frè yo ak nepe pou yo touye yo. Yo san pitye pou yo. Kòlè yo pa gen limit. Yo toujou kenbe yo nan kè yo.
12 But I will send a fire upon Teman, and it shall devour the palaces of Bozrah.
Se poutèt sa, m'ap voye dife nan lavil Teman. L'a boule gwo kay lavil Bozra yo ra tè.
13 Thus says Jehovah: For three transgressions of the sons of Ammon, yea, for four, I will not turn away the punishment of it, because they have ripped up the women with child of Gilead, that they may enlarge their border.
Seyè a di konsa: Moun lavil Amon yo ap plede fè peche sou peche san rete. Mwen fin pran desizyon m', mwen p'ap chanje lide. Nan fè lagè pou yo ka gen plis tè, yo rive devantre fanm ansent peyi Galarad yo.
14 But I will kindle a fire in the wall of Rabbah, and it shall devour the palaces of it, with shouting in the day of battle, with a tempest in the day of the whirlwind.
Se poutèt sa, m'ap limen yon dife sou miray lavil Raba. L'a boule gwo kay yo ra tè. Se lè sa a w'a tande rèl moun k'ap goumen nan lagè yo, tankou bri van siklòn k'ap pase.
15 And their king shall go into captivity, he and his rulers together, says Jehovah.
Y'a fè wa yo ak tout chèf yo prizonye. Y'a depòte yo. Se Seyè a menm ki di sa.
