< Amos 1 >

1 Here is the message that was given to Amos, a shepherd from Tekoa in Judah. This is what he saw concerning Israel when Uzziah was king of Judah and Jeroboam, son of Jehoash, was king of Israel, two years before the earthquake.
Àwọn ọ̀rọ̀ Amosi, ọ̀kan lára àwọn olùṣọ́-àgùntàn Tekoa; ohun tí o rí nípa Israẹli ní ọdún méjì ṣáájú ilẹ̀-rírì, nígbà tí Ussiah ọba Juda àti Jeroboamu ọmọ Jehoaṣi jẹ́ ọba ní ilẹ̀ Israẹli.
2 And he said, The Lord roars from Zion, he shouts from Jerusalem. The shepherds' pastures wither, the top of Mount Carmel dries up.
Ó wí pé, “Olúwa yóò bú jáde láti Sioni, ohùn rẹ̀ yóò sì sán bí àrá láti Jerusalẹmu wá; ibùgbé àwọn olùṣọ́-àgùntàn yóò sì ṣọ̀fọ̀, orí òkè Karmeli yóò sì rọ.”
3 This is what the Lord says: The people of Damascus have repeatedly sinned and so I will not hesitate to punish them, for they beat the people of Gilead with sharp iron threshing tools.
Èyí ni ohun tí Olúwa wí: “Nítorí ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ mẹ́ta tí Damasku, àní fún mẹ́rin, Èmi kò ní yí ìpinnu ìjìyà mi padà. Nítorí wọn fi ohun èlò ìpakà pa Gileadi. Pẹ̀lú ohun èlò irin tí ó ní eyín mímú,
4 So I will send fire down on the house of Hazael and burn up Ben-Hadad's fortresses.
Èmi yóò rán iná sí ilé Hasaeli, èyí ti yóò jó àwọn ààfin Beni-Hadadi run.
5 I will smash the gates of Damascus, I will cut down those who live in the Valley of Aven, and the ruler from Beth Eden. The people of Aram will be deported as prisoners to the land of Kir, says the Lord.
Èmi yóò ṣẹ́ ọ̀pá ìdábùú Damasku; Èmi yóò sì pa ọba tí ó wà ní àfonífojì Afeni run àti ẹni tí ó di ọ̀pá aládé mú ní Beti-Edeni. Àwọn ará a Aramu yóò lọ sí ìgbèkùn sí Kiri,” ni Olúwa wí.
6 This is what the Lord says: The people of Gaza have repeatedly sinned and so I will not hesitate to punish them, for they sent into exile whole communities, handing them over to Edom.
Èyí ni ohun tí Olúwa wí: “Nítorí ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ mẹ́ta Gasa, àní nítorí mẹ́rin, Èmi kò ní yí ìpinnu ìjìyà mi padà. Gẹ́gẹ́ bí í oníṣòwò ẹrú, ó kó gbogbo àwọn ènìyàn mi ní ìgbèkùn. Ó sì tà wọ́n fún Edomu,
7 So I will send down fire on the walls of Gaza and burn up its fortresses.
Èmi yóò rán iná sí ara odi Gasa tí yóò jó gbogbo ààfin rẹ̀ run.
8 I will cut down those who live in Ashdod and the ruler of Ashkelon. I will turn to punish Ekron and the Philistines who remain will die, says the Lord God.
Èmi yóò ké àwọn olùgbé Aṣdodu kúrò, ti ẹni tí ó di ọ̀pá aládé ní Aṣkeloni mú. Èmi yóò yí ọwọ́ mi sí Ekroni títí tí ìyókù Filistini yóò fi ṣègbé,” ni Olúwa Olódùmarè wí.
9 This is what the Lord says: The people of Tyre have repeatedly sinned and so I will not hesitate to punish them, for they exiled whole communities, handing them over to Edom, and did not keep their agreement to help each other as members of the same family.
Èyí ni ohun tí Olúwa wí: “Nítorí ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ mẹ́ta ti Tire àní nítorí mẹ́rin, Èmi kì yóò yí ìpinnu ìjìyà mi padà. Nítorí wọ́n ta gbogbo àwọn ènìyàn tí ó wà ní ìgbèkùn fún Edomu. Wọn kò sì náání májẹ̀mú ọbàkan,
10 So I will send down fire on the walls of Tyre and burn up its fortresses.
Èmi yóò rán iná sí ara odi Tire, tí yóò jó gbogbo àwọn ààfin rẹ̀ run.”
11 This is what the Lord says: The people of Edom have repeatedly sinned and so I will not hesitate to punish them, for they hunted down the Israelites to whom they were related, killing them with swords. They attacked without mercy, tearing the Israelites to pieces in an angry rage that never stopped.
Èyí ni ohun tí Olúwa wí: “Nítorí ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ mẹ́ta tí Edomu, àní nítorí mẹ́rin, Èmi kò ní yí ìpinnu ìjìyà mi padà. Nítorí òhun fi idà lépa arákùnrin rẹ̀, Ó sì gbé gbogbo àánú sọnù, ìbínú rẹ̀ sì ń faniya títí, ó sì pa ìbínú rẹ̀ bí èéfín mọ́,
12 So I will send down fire on Teman, and I will burn up the fortresses of Bozrah.
Èmi yóò rán iná sí orí Temani, tí yóò jó gbogbo ààfin Bosra run.”
13 This is what the Lord says: The people of Ammon have repeatedly sinned and so I will not hesitate to punish them, because they ripped open pregnant women in Gilead as part of their war to enlarge their territory.
Èyí ni ohun tí Olúwa wí: “Nítorí ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ mẹ́ta ti Ammoni, àní mẹ́rin, Èmi kò ní yí ìpinnu ìjìyà mi padà. Nítorí wọn ti la inú àwọn aboyún Gileadi kí wọ́n ba à lè fẹ ilẹ̀ wọn sẹ́yìn.
14 I will set fire to the walls of Rabbah and burn up its fortresses. There will be shouts on the day of battle which will whirl with rage like a windstorm.
Èmi yóò rán iná sí ara odi Rabba èyí tí yóò jó àwọn ààfin rẹ̀ run pẹ̀lú ìhó ayọ̀ ní ọjọ́ ogun, pẹ̀lú ìjì líle ni ọjọ́ àjà.
15 Their king will be sent into exile together with his princes, says the Lord.
Ọba wọn yóò sì lọ sí ìgbèkùn, òun àti àwọn ọmọ-aládé rẹ̀ lápapọ̀,” ni Olúwa wí.
