Amos 1
1 The words of Amos, who was among the herdmen 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 roareth from Zion, and uttereth his voice from Jerusalem; and the pastures of the shepherds mourn, and the top of Carmel withereth.
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 saith Jehovah: For three transgressions of Damascus, and for four, I will not revoke [my sentence], 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 And 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 him that holdeth the sceptre from Beth-Eden; and the people of Syria shall go into captivity unto Kir, saith 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 saith Jehovah: For three transgressions of Gazah, and for four, I will not revoke its sentence; because they carried away captive the whole captivity, 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 And I will send a fire on the wall of Gazah, and it shall devour the palaces thereof.
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 that holdeth the sceptre from Ashkelon, and I will turn my hand against Ekron; and the remnant of the Philistines shall perish, saith 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 saith Jehovah: For three transgressions of Tyre, and for four, I will not revoke its sentence; because they delivered up the whole captivity to Edom, and remembered not 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 And I will send a fire on the wall of Tyre, and it shall devour the palaces thereof.
Se poutèt sa, m'ap voye dife sou miray lavil Tir. L'ap boule gwo kay li yo ra tè.
11 Thus saith Jehovah: For three transgressions of Edom, and for four, I will not revoke its sentence; because he pursued his brother with the sword, and cast off all pity; and his anger did tear continually, and he kept his wrath for ever.
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 And 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 saith Jehovah: For three transgressions of the children of Ammon, and for four, I will not revoke its sentence; because they ripped up the women with child of Gilead, that they might 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 And I will kindle a fire in the wall of Rabbah, and it shall devour the palaces thereof, 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 princes together, saith Jehovah.
Y'a fè wa yo ak tout chèf yo prizonye. Y'a depòte yo. Se Seyè a menm ki di sa.
