< Amos 1 >

1 Words of Amos—who has been among herdsmen of Tekoa—that he has seen concerning Israel, in the days of Uzziah king of Judah, and in the days of Jeroboam son of Joash king of Israel, two years before the shaking;
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 says, “YHWH roars from Zion, And gives forth His voice from Jerusalem, And pastures of the shepherds have mourned, And the top of Carmel has withered!”
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 And thus said YHWH: “For three transgressions of Damascus, And for four, I do not reverse it, Because of their threshing Gilead with sharp-pointed irons,
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 And I have sent a fire against the house of Hazael, And it has consumed 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 And I have broken the bar of Damascus, And cut off the inhabitant from Bikat-Aven, And a holder of a scepter from Beth-Eden, And the people of Aram have been removed to Kir,” said YHWH.
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 said YHWH: “For three transgressions of Gaza, And for four, I do not reverse it, Because of their removing a complete captivity, To deliver up to 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 And I have sent a fire against the wall of Gaza, And it has consumed her palaces;
Nakotia moto na bamir ya Gaza, mpe moto yango ekozikisa bandako na yango, oyo batonga makasi.
8 And I have cut off the inhabitant from Ashdod, And a holder of a scepter from Ashkelon, And have turned back My hand against Ekron, And the remnant of the Philistines have perished,” said Lord YHWH.
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 said YHWH: “For three transgressions of Tyre, And for four, I do not reverse it, Because of their delivering up a complete captivity to Edom, And they did not remember the brotherly covenant,
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 And I have sent a fire against the wall of Tyre, And it has consumed her palaces.”
Nakotia moto na bamir ya engumba Tiri, mpe moto yango ekozikisa bandako na yango, oyo batonga makasi. »
11 Thus said YHWH: “For three transgressions of Edom, And for four, I do not reverse it, Because of his pursuing his brother with a sword, And he has destroyed his mercies, And his anger tears continuously, And his wrath—he has kept it forever,
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 And I have sent a fire against Teman, And it has consumed palaces of Bozrah.”
Nakotia moto na engumba Temani, mpe moto yango ekozikisa bandako ya Botsira, oyo batonga makasi. »
13 Thus said YHWH: “For three transgressions of the sons of Ammon, And for four, I do not reverse it, Because of their ripping up the pregnant ones of Gilead, To 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 And I have kindled a fire against the wall of Rabbah, And it has consumed her palaces, With a shout in a day of battle, With a whirlwind in a day of windstorm,
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 has gone in a removal, He and his heads together,” said YHWH!
Mokonzi na bango akokende na bowumbu, ye elongo na bakalaka na ye, » elobi Yawe.
