< Amos 6 >

1 Woe to them that are at ease in Zion, and trust in the mountain of Samaria, which are named chief of the nations, to whom the house of Israel came!
Nnome nka mo a mogye mo ho die wɔ Sion, ne mo a mo asom adwo mo wɔ Samaria bepɔ so, mo atitire a mowɔ ɔman dikanfoɔ mu, a Israelfoɔ ba mo nkyɛn!
2 Pass all of you unto Calneh, and see; and from thence go all of you to Hamath the great: then go down to Gath of the Philistines: be they better than these kingdoms? or their border greater than your border?
Monkɔ Kalne, nkɔhwɛ hɔ. Na momfiri hɔ nkɔ Hamat kɛseɛ mu, monsiane nkɔ Gat a ɛwɔ Filistia. Wɔyɛ sene mo ahemman mmienu no? Wɔn asase no so sene mo deɛ no anaa?
3 All of you that put far away the evil day, and cause the seat of violence to come near;
Motu ɛda bɔne hyɛ ɛda na motwe Atemmuo da 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 out of the midst of the stall;
Modeda asonse mpa so mogye mo ahome wɔ mo nnaeɛ mu, na mowe nnwammaa ne anantwie mma a wɔadɔre sradeɛ nam.
5 That chant to the sound of the viol, and invent to themselves instruments of music, like David;
Mode mo sankuten to ahuhudwom, na mobɔ mo tirim yɛ nnwom wɔ mo nnwontodeɛ so te sɛ Dawid.
6 That drink wine in bowls, and anoint themselves with the chief ointments: but they are not grieved for the affliction of Joseph.
Monom nsã nkorama mu na mode sradehwam papa yɛ mo ho, na monni awerɛhoɔ wɔ Yosef sɛeɛ ho.
7 Therefore now shall they go captive with the first that go captive, and the banquet of them that stretched themselves shall be removed.
Ɛno enti, mobɛka atukɔfoɔ a wɔdi ɛkan no ho; na mo apontoɔ ne mo ahomegyeɛ to bɛtwa.
8 The Lord GOD has sworn by himself, says the LORD the God of hosts, I detest the excellency of Jacob, and hate his palaces: therefore will I deliver up the city with all that is therein.
Otumfoɔ Awurade aka ne ho ntam na deɛ Asafo Awurade Onyankopɔn seɛ nie: “Mekyiri Yakob ahomasoɔ na memmpɛ nʼaban; mede kuropɔn no bɛma ɛne deɛ ɛwɔ mu nyinaa.”
9 And it shall come to pass, if there remain ten men in one house, that they shall die.
Sɛ wogya nnipa edu wɔ efie baako mu a, wɔn nso bɛwuwu.
10 And a man's uncle shall take him up, and he that burns him, to bring out the bones out of the house, and shall say unto him that is by the sides of the house, Is there yet any with you? and he shall say, No. Then shall he say, Hold your tongue: for we may not make mention of the name of the LORD.
Na sɛ obusuani a ɔrebɛhye awufoɔ no ba sɛ ɔrebɛfa wɔn afiri efie hɔ na ɔbisa obi a wakɔtɛ sɛ, “Obi ka wo ho anaa?” Na ɔbuaa sɛ, “Dabi” a, afei ɔbɛka sɛ, “Mua wʼano!” Ɛnsɛ sɛ wɔbɔ Awurade din.
11 For, behold, the LORD commands, and he will strike the great house with breaches, and the little house with clefts.
Na Awurade ahyɛ mmara na ɔbɛbubu afie akɛseɛ no mu asinasini ne afie nketewa no nso mu nketenkete.
12 Shall horses run upon the rock? will one plow there with oxen? for all of you have turned judgment into gall, and the fruit of righteousness into hemlock:
Apɔnkɔ tu mmirika wɔ abotan a apaapae so anaa? Na obi de nantwie funtum hɔ anaa? Nanso, moadane atɛntenenee ayɛ no awuduro. Na tenenee nso ayɛ nwononwono.
13 All of you which rejoice in a thing of nothing, which say, Have we not taken to us horns by our own strength?
Mo a moani gye Lo-debar nkoguo ho, na mobisa sɛ, “Ɛnyɛ yɛn ahoɔden na yɛde dii Karnaim so anaa?”
14 But, behold, I will raise up against you a nation, O house of Israel, says the LORD the God of hosts; and they shall afflict you from the entering in of Hemath unto the river of the wilderness.
Deɛ Asafo Awurade Onyankopɔn seɛ nie: “Mɛhwanyan ɔman bi abɛtia mo, Ao Israelfoɔ, deɛ ɔbɛhyɛ mo so firi Lebo Hamat akɔsi Araba bɔnhwa mu.”
