< Amos 1 >

1 The wordes of Amos, who was among the heardmen at Tecoa, which he sawe vpon Israel, in the dayes of Vzziah king of Iudah, and in the dayes of Ieroboam the sonne of Ioash King of Israel, two yeere before the earthquake.
Maloba ya Amosi, moko kati na babateli bibwele ya mboka Tekoa. Azwaki emoniseli ya maloba oyo na tina na mokili ya Isalaele, mibu mibale liboso ete koningana ya mabele esalema, tango Oziasi azalaki mokonzi ya Yuda, mpe Jeroboami, mwana mobali ya Joasi, azalaki mokonzi ya Isalaele.
2 And he saide, The Lord shall roare from Zion, and vtter his voyce from Ierusalem, and the dwelling places of the shepheards shall perish, and the top of Carmel shall wither,
Alobaki: Yawe azali koganga wuta na Siona, mpe azali koloba wuta na Yelusalemi, na mongongo makasi lokola kake. Matiti ya bitando epai wapi babateli bibwele baleisaka bibwele ekokawuka, mpe songe ya ngomba Karimeli ekokawuka.
3 Thus saith the Lord, For three transgressions of Damascus, and for foure I will not turne to it, because they haue threshed Gilead with threshing instruments of yron.
Tala liloba oyo Yawe alobi: « Likolo ya masumu misato to minei ya Damasi, nakozanga te kopesa bango etumbu, pamba te bakataki-kataki bato ya Galadi na nzela ya bibende oyo etimolaka mabele mpo na kosala bilanga.
4 Therefore will I sende a fire into the house of Hazael, and it shall deuoure the palaces of Ben-hadad.
Nakotia moto na ndako ya mokonzi Azaeli, mpe moto yango ekozikisa bandako ya mokonzi Beni-Adadi, oyo batonga makasi.
5 I will breake also the barres of Damascus, and cut off the inhabitant of Bikeath-auen: and him that holdeth the scepter out of Beth-eden, and the people of Aram shall goe into captiuitie vnto Kir, sayth the Lord.
Nakobuka ekuke ya Damasi, nakobebisa mokonzi ya bavandi ya Lubwaku ya Beti-Aveni, mpe oyo azali kokonza na Beti-Edeni; mpe bato ya Siri bakokende na bowumbu na Kiri, » elobi Yawe.
6 Thus sayth the Lord, For three transgressions of Azzah, and for foure, I will not turne to it, because they caried away prisoners the whole captiuitie to shut them vp in Edom.
Tala liloba oyo Yawe alobi: « Likolo ya masumu misato to minei ya Gaza, nakozanga te kopesa bango etumbu, pamba te bamemaki bikolo ebele na bowumbu mpe batekaki bango na Edomi.
7 Therefore will I sende a fire vpon the walles of Azzah, and it shall deuoure the palaces thereof.
Nakotia moto na bamir ya Gaza, mpe moto yango ekozikisa bandako na yango, oyo batonga makasi.
8 And I will cut off the inhabitant from Ashdod, and him that holdeth the scepter from Ashkelon, and turne mine hande to Ekron, and the remnant of the Philistims shall perish, sayth the Lord God.
Nakoboma mokonzi ya bavandi ya Asidodi mpe oyo azali kokonza na Ashikeloni. Nakobalukela engumba Ekroni kino tango moto ya suka kati na bato ya Filisitia akokufa, » elobi Nkolo Yawe.
9 Thus sayth the Lord, For three transgressions of Tyrus, and for foure, I will not turne to it, because they shut the whole captiuitie in Edom, and haue not remembred the brotherly couenant.
Tala liloba oyo Yawe alobi: « Likolo ya masumu misato to minei ya Tiri, nakozanga te kopesa bango etumbu, pamba te bakabaki bato ebele na bowumbu epai ya bato ya Edomi mpe batosaki te boyokani ya bondeko.
10 Therefore wil I send a fire vpon ye walles of Tyrus, and it shall deuoure the palaces thereof.
Nakotia moto na bamir ya engumba Tiri, mpe moto yango ekozikisa bandako na yango, oyo batonga makasi. »
11 Thus sayeth the Lord, For three transgressions of Edom, and for foure, I will not turne to it, because hee did pursue his brother with the sworde, and did cast off all pitie, and his anger spoyled him euermore, and his wrath watched him alway.
Tala liloba oyo Yawe alobi: « Likolo ya masumu misato to minei ya Edomi, nakozanga te kopesa bango etumbu, pamba te balandaki bandeko na bango na mopanga, bayokelaki bango mawa te, kanda na bango ezalaki tango nyonso komata, mpe bayina bango wuta kala.
12 Therefore will I send a fire vpon Teman, and it shall deuoure the palaces of Bozrah.
Nakotia moto na engumba Temani, mpe moto yango ekozikisa bandako ya Botsira, oyo batonga makasi. »
13 Thus sayth ye Lord, For three transgressions of the children of Ammon, and for foure, I will not turne to it, because they haue ript vp the women with child of Gilead, that they might enlarge their border.
Tala liloba oyo Yawe alobi: « Likolo ya masumu misato to minei ya Amoni, nakozanga te kopesa bango etumbu, pamba te bapasolaki mabumu ya basi ya zemi ya Galadi mpo na koyeisa mokili na bango monene.
14 Therefore will I kindle a fire in the wall of Rabbah, and it shall deuoure the palaces thereof, with shouting in the day of battell, and with a tempest in the day of the whirlewinde.
Nakotia moto na bamir ya engumba ya Raba, mpe moto yango ekozikisa bandako na yango, oyo batonga makasi, kati na koganga na mokolo ya bitumba, kati na mopepe makasi na mokolo ya ekumbaki.
15 And their King shall go into captiuitie, he and his princes together, saith the Lord.
Mokonzi na bango akokende na bowumbu, ye elongo na bakalaka na ye, » elobi Yawe.
