Amos 1
1 These are the words of Amos, who was among the sheepherders of Tekoa—what he saw concerning Israel two years before the earthquake, in the days when Uzziah was king of Judah and Jeroboam son of Jehoash was king of Israel.
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 He said: “The LORD roars from Zion and raises His voice from Jerusalem; the pastures of the shepherds mourn, and the summit of Carmel withers.”
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 This is what the LORD says: “For three transgressions of Damascus, even four, I will not revoke My judgment, because they threshed Gilead with sledges 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 So I will send fire upon the house of Hazael to consume the citadels of Ben-hadad.
Mede ogya bɛto Hasael fi na ahyew Ben-Hadad aban no.
5 I will break down the gates of Damascus; I will cut off the ruler of the Valley of Aven and the one who wields the scepter in Beth-eden. The people of Aram will be exiled to Kir,”
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 This is what the LORD says: “For three transgressions of Gaza, even four, I will not revoke My judgment, because they exiled a whole population, delivering 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 So I will send fire upon the walls of Gaza, to consume its citadels.
Mede ogya bɛto Gasa afasu mu, na ahyew nʼaban no.
8 I will cut off the ruler of Ashdod and the one who wields the scepter in Ashkelon. I will turn My hand against Ekron, and the remnant of the Philistines will perish,”
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 This is what the LORD says: “For three transgressions of Tyre, even four, I will not revoke My judgment, because they delivered up a whole congregation of exiles to Edom and broke a covenant of brotherhood.
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 So I will send fire upon the walls of Tyre to consume its citadels.”
Mede ogya bɛto Tiro afasu no mu, na ahyew nʼaban.”
11 This is what the LORD says: “For three transgressions of Edom, even four, I will not revoke My judgment, because he pursued his brother with the sword and stifled all compassion; his anger raged continually, and his fury flamed incessantly.
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 So I will send fire upon Teman to consume the citadels of Bozrah.”
Mede ogya bɛto Teman mu, na ahyew Bosra aban.”
13 This is what the LORD says: “For three transgressions of the Ammonites, even four, I will not revoke My judgment, because they ripped open the pregnant women of Gilead in order to enlarge their territory.
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 So I will kindle a fire in the walls of Rabbah to consume its citadels amid war cries on the day of battle and a violent wind on the day of tempest.
Mede ogya bɛto Raba afasu mu na ahyew nʼaban wɔ ɔko da mu nteɛteɛmu ne ahum da mfɛtɛ mu.
15 Their king will go into exile — he and his princes together,”
Na ne hene ne mmapɔmma bɛbɔ mu akɔ nnommum mu,” sɛnea Awurade se ni.
