Amos 6
1 Woe [to] those secure in Zion, And those confident on the mountain of Samaria, The marked of the chief of the nations, And the house of Israel has come to them.
Sa pral rèd nèt pou moun k'ap mennen lavi dous nan peyi Siyon an, pou moun sou mòn Samari ki kwè pa gen danje pou yo! Yo pase pou lelit nan peyi Izrayèl, premye peyi sou latè. Se bò kote yo pèp la ap kouri vini. Yo di:
2 Pass over [to] Calneh and see, And go there [to] Hamath the great, And go down [to] Gath of the Philistines, Are [they] better than these kingdoms? [Is] their border greater than your border?
Al gade sa k'ap pase lavil Kalne. Apre sa, ale pase bò gwo lavil Amat la. Lèfini, desann kay moun Filisti yo lavil Gat. Eske zafè yo pi bon pase zafè peyi Jida ak zafè peyi Izrayèl? Eske peyi yo a pi gran pase pa nou yo?
3 Who are putting away the day of evil, And you bring the seat of violence near,
N'ap twonpe tèt nou, nou refize admèt jou malè a fin rive sou nou. Men, se nou menm ankò k'ap rale malè sou peyi a.
4 Who are lying down on beds of ivory, And are spread out on their couches, And are eating lambs from the flock, And calves from the midst of the stall,
Sa pral rèd nèt pou moun ki kouche sou bèl kabann, k'ap layite kò yo sou bon matla dous, k'ap manje jenn ti mouton ak jenn ti bèf!
5 Who are taking part according to the stringed instrument, Like David they invented for themselves instruments of music;
Y'ap plede ranse pandan gita ap jwe. Yo kwè yo jwe mizik tankou David.
6 Who are drinking with bowls of wine, And anoint themselves [with] chief perfumes, And have not been pained for the breach of Joseph.
Y'ap bwè diven san gad dèyè, y'ap pase pi bon kalite odè ki genyen sou yo. Men, yo pa gen lapenn pou malè k'ap tonbe sou pitit pitit Jozèf yo.
7 Therefore they now go at the head of the captives, And the mourning-feast of stretched-out ones is turned aside.
Se poutèt sa, premye moun y'ap depòte se yo menm. Sosyete moun k'ap fè banbòch yo va disparèt.
8 Lord YHWH has sworn by Himself, A declaration of YHWH, God of Hosts: “I am abominating the excellence of Jacob, And his high places I have hated, And I have delivered up the city and its fullness.”
Seyè a, Bondye sèl Mèt la, te fè sèman sou tèt li. Men avètisman Seyè a, Bondye ki gen tout pouvwa a, bay: Mwen pa ka sipòte lògèy pèp Izrayèl la gen nan kè li. Mwen pa ka wè gwo kay y'ap plede bati yo. M'ap lage kapital la nan men lènmi ak tout moun ladan l'.
9 And if there are left ten persons in one house, It has come to pass—that they have died.
Si gen dis gason nan yon kay ki rete, y'ap touye yo.
10 And his loved one has lifted him up, even his burner, To bring forth the bones from the house, And he said to him who [is] in the sides of the house, “Is there [any] yet with you?” And he said, “None,” Then he said, “Hush! We must not make mention of the Name of YHWH.”
Lè yon fanmi moun mouri a va vin pran kadav la anndan kay la pou li al antere l', l'a pale ak moun ki nan fon kay la, l'a mande: Eske gen moun la ankò ak ou? Yon vwa va reponn: Non, pa genyen. Lè sa a, l'a di: Pe bouch nou! Pa nonmen non Bondye nan bagay sa a!
11 For behold, YHWH is commanding, And He has struck the great house [with] breaches, And the little house [with] clefts.
Men lòd Seyè a bay: Y'ap kraze gwo kay yo an miyèt moso. Y'ap demoli ti kay yo.
12 Do horses run on a rock? Does one plow [it] with oxen? For you have turned judgment to gall, And the fruit of righteousness to wormwood.
Eske chwal ka kouri sou glasi? Eske moun ka raboure lanmè avèk bèf? Men nou menm, nou fè lajistis tounen pwazon, nou fè inonsan pase pou koupab.
13 O you who are rejoicing at nothing, Who are saying, “Have we not taken to ourselves horns by our strength?”
Nou fè kè nou kontan paske nou pran lavil Lodeba. N'ap plede di: O wi, se avèk fòs kouraj nou nou pran kòn lan.
14 “Surely, behold, I am raising a nation against you, O house of Israel,” A declaration of YHWH, God of Hosts, “And they have oppressed you from the coming in to Hamath, To the stream of the desert.”
Men sa Seyè a, li menm ki Bondye ki gen tout pouvwa a, di: Nou menm, moun Izrayèl, m'ap fè yon nasyon leve dèyè nou. Wi, se mwen menm menm k'ap fè sa, yon nasyon k'ap pran peyi a nan men nou, yon nasyon ki pral peze nou depi nan pas Amat nan nò rive jouk ravin Araba nan sid.
