Amos 1
1 The words of Amos, who was among herdsmen of Thecua: which he saw concerning Israel in the days of Ozias king of Juda, and in the days of Jeroboam the son of Joas king of Israel two years before the earthquake.
Esiawoe nye Amos, lãkplɔla siwo tso Tekoa la dometɔ ɖeka ƒe nyawo. Ekpɔ ŋutega tso Israel ŋuti ƒe eve do ŋgɔ na anyigba ƒe ʋuʋu, esime Uzia nɔ fia ɖum le Yuda, eye Yoas ƒe vi, Yeroboam, nɔ fia ɖum le Israel.
2 And he said: The Lord will roar from Sion, and utter his voice from Jerusalem: and the beautiful places of the shepherds have mourned, and the top of Carmel is withered.
Egblɔ be, “Yehowa ɖe gbe abe dzata ene tso Zion, eye eƒe gbe ɖi tso Yerusalem. Enumake lãnyiƒewo ƒu kplakplakpla, eye Karmel to la tame yrɔ.”
3 Thus saith the Lord: For three crimes of Damascus, and for four I will not convert it: because they have thrashed Galaad with iron wains.

5 And I will break the bar of Damascus: and I will cut off the inhabitants from the plain of the idol, and him that holdeth the sceptre from the house of pleasure: and the people of Syria shall be carried away to Cyrene, saith the Lord.
Maŋe gameti sesẽ siwo wotsɔ do Damasko ƒe agbowoe, eye mawu fia si le Aven ƒe Balime, kple ame si le fia ɖum le Bet Eden, eye woaɖe aboyo Siriatɔwo ayi ɖe Kir.” Yehowae gblɔe.
6 Thus saith the Lord: For three crimes of Gaza, and for four I will not convert it: because they have carried away a perfect captivity to shut them up in Edom.

9 Thus saith the Lord: For three crimes of Tyre, and for four I will not convert it: because they have shut up an entire captivity in Edom, and have not remembered the covenant of brethren.

11 Thus saith the Lord: For three crimes of Edom, and for four I will not convert him: because he hath pursued his brother with the sword, and hath cast off all pity, and hath carried on his fury, and hath kept his wrath to the end.

15 And Melchom shall go into captivity, both he, and his princes together, saith the Lord.
Woƒe fiawo kple amegãwo katã ayi aboyome.” Yehowae gblɔe.
