Amos 6

1 Woe to them that are at ease in Zion and that are secure in the mountain of Samaria, the renowned of the first of the nations, to whom the house of Israel come.

Nnome nka mo a mugye mo ho di wɔ Sion, ne mo a mo asom adwo mo wɔ Samaria bepɔw so, mo atitiriw a mowɔ ɔman a edi kan mu, a Israelfo ba mo nkyɛn!

2 Pass unto Calneh, and see; and from thence go to Hamath the great; and go down to Gath of the Philistines: are they better than these kingdoms? or their border greater than your border?

Monkɔ Kalne nkɔhwɛ hɔ. Na mumfi hɔ nkɔ Hamat kɛse mu, munsian nkɔ Gat a ɛwɔ Filistia. Woye sen mo ahemman abien no? Wɔn asase no so sen mo de no ana?

3 Ye that put far away the evil day, and cause the seat of violence to come near;

Mutu da bɔne hyɛ da na motwe atemmuda bɛn.

4 that lie upon beds of ivory, and stretch themselves upon their couches, and eat the lambs out of the flock, and the calves from the midst of the stall;

Modeda asonse mpa so mugye mo ahome wɔ mo nnae mu, na mowe nguantenmma ne nantwimma a wɔadodɔ srade nam.

5 that chant to the sound of the lute, [and] invent them instruments of music, like David;

Mode mo sankuten to ahuhunnwom, na mobɔ mo tirim yɛ nnwom wɔ mo nnwontode so te sɛ Dawid.

6 that drink wine in bowls, and anoint themselves with the chief ointments; but are not grieved for the breach of Joseph.

Monom nsa wɔ nkora mu na mode sradehuam papa yɛ mo ho, na munni awerɛhow wɔ Yosef sɛe ho.

7 Therefore shall they now go captive, with the first that go captive, and the revelry of them that stretched themselves shall pass away.

Ɛno nti, mobɛka wɔn a wodi kan twa wɔn asu no ho; na mo aponto ne mo ahomegye to betwa.

8 The Lord Jehovah hath sworn by himself, saith Jehovah, the God of hosts, I abhor the pride of Jacob, and hate his palaces; and I will deliver up the city with all that is therein.

Otumfo Awurade aka ne ho ntam na nea Asafo Awurade Nyankopɔn se ni: “Mikyi Yakob ahomaso na mempɛ nʼaban; mede kuropɔn no bɛma ne nea ɛwɔ mu nyinaa.”

9 And it shall come to pass, if there remain ten men in one house, that they shall die.

Sɛ wogyaw nnipa du wɔ ofi baako mu a, wɔn nso bewuwu.

10 And a man's uncle, and he that should burn him, shall take him up to bring out the bones from the house, and shall say unto him that is in the inner parts of the house, Is there yet [any] with thee? and he shall say, None. And he will say, Silence! for we may not make mention of Jehovah's name.

Na sɛ obusuani a ɔrebɛhyew awufo no ba sɛ ɔrebɛfa wɔn afi fie hɔ na obisa obi a wakɔtɛw se, “Obi ka wo ho ana?” Na obua se, “Dabi” a, afei ɔbɛka se, “Mua wʼano!” Ɛnsɛ sɛ wɔbɔ Awurade din.

11 For behold, Jehovah commandeth, and he will smite the great house with breaches, and the little house with clefts.

Na Awurade ahyɛ mmara na obebubu afi akɛse no mu asinasin ne afi nketewa no nso mu nketenkete.

12 Shall horses run upon the rock? will [men] plough [thereon] with oxen? For ye have turned judgment into gall, and the fruit of righteousness into wormwood,

Apɔnkɔ tu mmirika wɔ abotan a apaapae so ana? Na obi de nantwi funtum hɔ ana? Nanso moadan atɛntrenee ayɛ no awuduru. Na trenee nso ayɛ nwenweenwen.

13 — ye that rejoice in a thing of nought, that say, Have we not taken to us power by our own strength?

Mo a mo ani gye Lo-debar nkogu ho, na mubisa se, “Ɛnyɛ yɛn ahoɔden na yɛde dii Karnaim so ana?”

14 For behold, O house of Israel, saith Jehovah the God of hosts, I will raise up against you a nation; and they shall afflict you from the entering in of Hamath unto the torrent of the Arabah.

Nea Asafo Awurade Nyankopɔn se ni: “Mɛhwanyan ɔman bi abetia mo, Israelfo, nea ɔbɛhyɛ mo so afi Lebo Hamat akosi Araba bon mu.”
