Amos 1
1 The words of Amos, who was among the herdsmen of Tekoa; what he saw about 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 earth-shock.
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, The Lord will give a lion's cry from Zion, his voice will be sounding from Jerusalem; and the fields of the keepers of sheep will become dry, and the top of Carmel will be wasted away.
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 These are the words of the Lord: For three crimes of Damascus, and for four, I will not let its fate be changed; because they have been crushing Gilead with iron grain-crushing instruments.
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 And I will send a fire into the house of Hazael, burning up the great houses of Ben-hadad.
Mede ogya bɛto Hasael fi na ahyew Ben-Hadad aban no.
5 And I will have the locks of the door of Damascus broken, and him who is seated in power cut off from the valley of Aven, and him in whose hand is the rod from the house of Eden; and the people of Aram will go away as prisoners into Kir, says the Lord.
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 These are the words of the Lord: For three crimes of Gaza, and for four, I will not let its fate be changed; because they took all the people away prisoners, to give 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 And I will send a fire on the wall of Gaza, burning up its great houses:
Mede ogya bɛto Gasa afasu mu, na ahyew nʼaban no.
8 Him who is seated in power I will have cut off from Ashdod, and him in whose hand is the rod from Ashkelon; and my hand will be turned against Ekron, and the rest of the Philistines will come to destruction, says the Lord God.
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 These are the words of the Lord: For three crimes of Tyre, and for four, I will not let its fate be changed; because they gave up all the people prisoners to Edom, without giving a thought to the brothers' agreement between them.
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 And I will send a fire on the wall of Tyre, burning up its great houses.
Mede ogya bɛto Tiro afasu no mu, na ahyew nʼaban.”
11 These are the words of the Lord: For three crimes of Edom, and for four, I will not let its fate be changed; because his sword was turned against his brother, without pity, and his wrath was burning at all times, and he was angry for ever.
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 And I will send a fire on Teman, burning up the great houses of Bozrah.
Mede ogya bɛto Teman mu, na ahyew Bosra aban.”
13 These are the words of the Lord: For three crimes of the children of Ammon, and for four, I will not let its fate be changed; because in Gilead they had women with child cut open, so that they might make wider the limits of their land.
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 And I will make a fire in the wall of Rabbah, burning up its great houses, with loud cries in the days of war, with a storm in the day of the great wind:
Mede ogya bɛto Raba afasu mu na ahyew nʼaban wɔ ɔko da mu nteɛteɛmu ne ahum da mfɛtɛ mu.
15 And their king will be made prisoner, he and his captains together, says the Lord.
Na ne hene ne mmapɔmma bɛbɔ mu akɔ nnommum mu,” sɛnea Awurade se ni.
