Amos 4
1 Heare this worde, ye kine of Bashan that are in the mountaine of Samaria, which oppresse the poore, and destroy the needie, and they say to their masters, Bring, and let vs drinke.
Nou menm, gwo fanm peyi Samari yo, nou gra tankou manman bèf Bazan. N'ap maltrete malere yo, n'ap peze pòv yo, epi n'ap di mari nou yo pote diven ban nou bwè.
2 The Lord God hath sworne by his holines, that loe, the dayes shall come vpon you, that hee wil take you away with thornes, and your posteritie with fish hookes.
Koute sa Seyè a di: Seyè a se yon moun apa. Se yon Bondye tout bon. Li fè sèman sou tèt li. Li di konsa: Yon jou gen pou rive, y'ap fwennen nou tankou pwason ki pran nan zen. Y'ap pote nou tout ale.
3 And ye shall goe out at the breaches euery kow forward: and ye shall cast your selues out of the palace, saith the Lord.
Y'a fè nou pase nan twou ki nan miray la, de pye devan, yonn apre lòt. Y'ap voye nou jete deyò. Se Seyè a menm ki di sa.
4 Come to Beth-el, and transgresse: to Gilgal, and multiplie transgression, and bring your sacrifices in the morning, and your tithes after three yeres.
Seyè a di konsa: Nou menm, pèp Izrayèl, se sa! Moute nan tanp lavil Betèl yo, al fè peche! Ale lavil Gilgal, peche kont kò nou! Chak maten, mennen bèt pou yo touye tankou ofrann bay Bondye! Chak twa jou, pote ladim nou!
5 And offer a thankesgiuing of leauen, publish and proclaime the free offrings: for this liketh you, O ye children of Israel, saith the Lord God.
Ale non! Ofri pen nou bay Bondye pou di l' mèsi! Mache di toupatou jan nou fè ofrann ak tout kè nou bay Bondye! Apa konsa nou renmen fè, pèp Izrayèl! Se Seyè a menm ki di sa.
6 And therefore haue I giuen you cleannes of teeth in all your cities, and scarcenesse of bread in all your places, yet haue ye not returned vnto me, saith the Lord.
Se mwen menm ki te fè grangou tonbe sou tout lavil nou yo, kifè nou pa t' ka jwenn manje lakay nou. Malgre sa, nou pa tounen vin jwenn mwen. Se Seyè a menm ki di sa.
7 And also I haue withholden the raine from you, when there were yet three moneths to the haruest, and I caused it to raine vpon one citie, and haue not caused it to raine vpon another citie: one piece was rained vpon, and the piece whereupon it rained not, withered.
Lè jaden nou tapral pote rekòt, mwen pa t' kite lapli tonbe. Mwen voye lapli sou yon lavil, mwen fè yon lòt rete san yon grenn lapli. Yon jaden jwenn lapli, yon lòt menm ap mouri.
8 So two or three cities wandred vnto one citie to drinke water, but they were not satisfied: yet haue ye not returned vnto me, saith the Lord.
Moun soti nan de twa lavil ale nan yon lavil nan vwazinaj al mande dlo, men pa t' gen ase pou yo tout bwè. Malgre sa, nou pa tounen vin jwenn mwen. Se Seyè a menm ki di sa.
9 I haue smitten you with blasting, and mildewe: your great gardens and your vineyardes, and your figtrees, and your oliue trees did the palmer worme deuoure: yet haue ye not returned vnto me, saith the Lord.
Mwen voye yon van cho kou dife boule tout rekòt yo. Krikèt vèt manje tout jaden nou yo ak tout pye rezen nou yo, tout pye fig frans nou yo ak tout pye oliv nou yo. Malgre sa, nou pa tounen vin jwenn mwen. Se Seyè a menm ki di sa.
10 Pestilence haue I sent among you, after the maner of Egypt: your yong men haue I slaine with the sworde, and haue taken away your horses: and I haue made the stinke of your tentes to come vp euen into your nostrels: yet haue yee not returned vnto me, saith the Lord.
Mwen voye malè sou nou tankou malè mwen te voye sou peyi Lejip la. Mwen touye jenn gason nou yo nan lagè. Mwen te pran tout chwal nou yo mennen ale. Sant kadav moute nan nen nou tout kote nou rete a. Malgre sa, nou pa tounen vin jwenn mwen. Se Seyè a menm ki di sa.
11 I haue ouerthrowe you, as God ouerthrew Sodom and Gomorah: and ye were as a firebrand pluckt out of the burning: yet haue ye not returned vnto me, saith the Lord.
Mwen detwi kèk nan nou, menm jan mwen te detwi moun Sodòm ak moun Gomò yo. Sa ki te sove nan nou yo, se tankou yon bout bwa ki pran dife, epi yo kouri wete l' nan dife a pou li pa fin boule. Malgre sa, nou pa tounen vin jwenn mwen. Se Seyè a menm ki di sa.
12 Therefore, thus wil I do vnto thee, O Israel: and because I wil doe this vnto thee, prepare to meete thy God, O Israel.
Se poutèt sa, nou menm moun pèp Izrayèl, mwen pral pini nou. E paske mwen pral pini nou konsa a, nou mèt pare kò nou pou n'a l' kontre ak Bondye nou an.
13 For lo, he that formeth the mountaines, and createth the winde, and declareth vnto man what is his thought: which maketh the morning darkenesse, and walketh vpon the hie places of the earth, the Lord God of hostes is his Name.
Se Bondye ki te fè mòn yo. Se li menm ki te kreye van yo. Li fè lèzòm konnen lide li gen nan tèt li. Li fè lajounen soti nan lannwit. L'ap gouvènen sou tout latè. Se poutèt sa, men jan yo rele l': Seyè a, Bondye ki gen tout pouvwa a.
