< Amos 6 >

1 Woe to those at ease in Zion and those secure on Mount Samaria, the distinguished ones of the foremost nation, to whom the house of Israel comes.
Malè a sila ki alèz nan Sion yo, e ak sila ki santi yo ansekirite nan mòn Samarie yo, mesye ki distenge pami meyè nan nasyon yo, a sila lakay Israël konn vini yo.
2 Cross over to Calneh and see; go from there to the great Hamath; then go down to Gath of the Philistines. Are you better than these kingdoms? Is their territory larger than yours?
Ale janbe kote Calné pou gade. Soti la rive Hamath Gran an, pou desann kote Gath de Filisten yo. Èske yo pi bon ke wayòm sila yo? Èske teritwa pa yo a pi gran pase pa nou an?
3 You dismiss the day of calamity and bring near a reign of violence.
Malè a nou ki konn ranvoye jou malè! Ka pote sant vyolans lan vin pi pre!
4 You lie on beds inlaid with ivory, and lounge upon your couches. You dine on lambs from the flock and calves from the stall.
K ap repoze sou kabann fèt ak livwa yo, k ap gaye kò yo sou gwo sofa yo, e k ap manje jenn mouton ki soti nan pak la, ak jenn bèf ki soti nan mitan tonèl bèt la;
5 You improvise songs on the harp like David and invent your own musical instruments.
sila ki enpwovize ak son ap la, ki envante lenstriman mizik yo menm jan ak David;
6 You drink wine by the bowlful and anoint yourselves with the finest oils, but you fail to grieve over the ruin of Joseph.
Sila k ap bwè diven nan kalbas sakrifis yo pandan yo onksyone kò yo ak pi bon lwil yo, malgre sa, yo pa kriye pou Joseph, ki fin devaste nèt la.
7 Therefore, you will now go into exile as the first of the captives, and your feasting and lounging will come to an end.
Akoz sa, yo va antre an egzil nan tèt a egzile yo. Banbòch a sanzave yo va sispann.
8 The Lord GOD has sworn by Himself—the LORD, the God of Hosts, has declared: “I abhor Jacob’s pride and detest his citadels, so I will deliver up the city and everything in it.”
Senyè BONDYE a te sèmante pa Li menm, SENYÈ Bondye dèzame yo te deklare: “Mwen rayi awogans a Jacob la, e Mwen deteste sitadèl li yo. Pou sa, Mwen va livre tout vil la ak tout sa ki ladann.”
9 And if there are ten men left in one house, they too will die.
Epi li va vin rive ke si genyen dizòm ki rete nan yon kay, yo va mouri.
10 And when the relative who is to burn the bodies picks them up to remove them from the house, he will call to one inside, “Is anyone else with you?” “None,” that person will answer. “Silence,” the relative will retort, “for the name of the LORD must not be invoked.”
Alò tonton a youn, oswa mèt mòg k ap antere l a va leve pote zo li sòti nan kay la. Konsa, li va mande a sila ki nan pati pi anndan nan kay la: “Èske gen lòt moun avèk ou?” Epi sila a va reponn: “Nanpwen moun”. Konsa li va reponn: “Rete an silans. Paske non a SENYÈ a pa dwe nonmen menm.”
11 For the LORD gives a command: “The great house will be smashed to pieces, and the small house to rubble.”
“Paske gade byen, SENYÈ a pral kòmande pou gwo lakay la vin kraze nèt, e ti kay la an ti mòso.
12 “Do horses gallop on the cliffs? Does one plow the sea with oxen? But you have turned justice into poison and the fruit of righteousness into wormwood—
Èske cheval konn kouri sou wòch, oswa èske yo ka charye wòch yo ak bèf? Konsa, nou te fè Lajistis vin tounen pwazon e fwi ladwati vin anmè nèt.
13 you who rejoice in Lo-debar and say, ‘Did we not take Karnaim by our own strength?’
Nou menm k ap rejwi nan yon bagay ki pa anyen, epi k ap di: ‘Èske se pa ak pwòp fòs kouraj nou nou rive pran kòn nan pou nou?’
14 For behold, I will raise up a nation against you, O house of Israel,” declares the LORD, the God of Hosts, “and they will oppress you from Lebo-hamath to the Brook of the Arabah.”
Paske gade byen, Mwen pral leve yon nasyon kont nou, O lakay Israël,” deklare SENYÈ Bondye dèzame yo; “e yo va aflije nou soti nan antre Hamath pou rive jis nan flèv Araba a.”
