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.
Amos, Tekoa nguanhwɛfo no mu baako nsɛm ni. Onyaa saa anisoadehu yi a ɛfa Israel ho mfe abien ansa na asase wosowee, bere a Usia di hene wɔ Yuda na Yoas babarima Yeroboam nso di hene wɔ Israel no.
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.
Ɔkae se, “Awurade bobɔ mu fi Sion bepɔw so na ɔde aprannaa nnyigyei nso fi Yerusalem; nguanhwɛfo mmoa adidibea rehyew na Karmel atifi nso kisa.”
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.
Nea Awurade se ni: “Damasko ayɛ bɔne bebree ama no atra so ɛno nti, merennan mʼabufuw. Efisɛ ɔde awiporowbea ade a ɛwɔ dade se dwerɛw Gilead.
4 But I will send a fire into the house of Hazael, and it shall devour the palaces of Ben-hadad.
Mede ogya bɛto Hasael fi na ahyew Ben-Hadad aban no.
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.
Mebubu Damasko apon, na mɛsɛe ɔhene a ɔwɔ Awen bon no mu no ne nea okura ahempema wɔ Bet Eden no. Na Aramfo bɛkɔ nnommum mu wɔ Kir,” sɛnea Awurade se ni.
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.
Nea Awurade se ni: “Gasa ayɛ bɔne bebree ama no atra so, ɛno nti, merennan mʼabufuw no. Ɔfaa ɔman mu no nyinaa nnommum na ɔtɔn wɔn maa Edomfo.
7 But I will send a fire on the wall of Gaza, and it shall devour the palaces of it.
Mede ogya bɛto Gasa afasu mu, na ahyew nʼaban no.
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.
Mɛsɛe Asdod hene no ne nea okura ahempema wɔ Askelon no. Mɛdan me nsa atia Ekron, kosi sɛ Filistini a otwa to no bewu,” sɛnea Asafo Awurade se ni.
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.
Nea Awurade se ni: “Tiro ayɛ bɔne bebree ama no atra so, ɛno nti, merennan mʼabufuw. Ɔfaa ɔmanmu no nnommum na ɔtɔn wɔn maa Edomfo, a wankae onuadɔ apam.
10 But I will send a fire on the wall of Tyre, and it shall devour the palaces of it.
Mede ogya bɛto Tiro afasu no mu, na ahyew nʼaban.”
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.
Nea Awurade se ni: “Edom ayɛ bɔne bebree ama no atra so, ɛno nti, merennan mʼabufuw. Ɔde afoa taataa ne nua, a wannya ayamhyehye biara. Efisɛ ne bo kɔɔ so fuwii, na obiara antumi annwudwo nʼabufuw no ano.
12 But I will send a fire upon Teman, and it shall devour the palaces of Bozrah.
Mede ogya bɛto Teman mu, na ahyew Bosra aban.”
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.
Sɛnea Awurade se ni: “Amon ayɛ bɔne bebree ama no atra so, ɛno nti, merennan mʼabufuw. Ɔde afoa paapaee Gilead apemfo yafunu mu de trɛw nʼahye mu.
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.
Mede ogya bɛto Raba afasu mu na ahyew nʼaban wɔ ɔko da mu nteɛteɛmu ne ahum da mfɛtɛ mu.
15 And their king shall go into captivity, he and his rulers together, says Jehovah.
Na ne hene ne mmapɔmma bɛbɔ mu akɔ nnommum mu,” sɛnea Awurade se ni.
