Amos 6

1 Woe to those who are at ease in Zion, and to those who are secure on the mountain of Samaria, the notable men of the foremost of nations, to whom the house of Israel come.

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 Go to Calneh, and see; and from there go to Hamath the great; then go down to Gath of the Philistines. Are they better than these kingdoms? or is 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 Those who 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 Who lie on beds of ivory, and stretch themselves on 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 who strum on the strings of a harp; who invent for 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 who drink wine in bowls, and anoint themselves with the best oils; 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 they will now go captive with the first who go captive; and the feasting and lounging will end.

Ɛno enti, mobɛka atukɔfoɔ a wɔdi ɛkan no ho; na mo apontoɔ ne mo ahomegyeɛ to bɛtwa.

8 "The LORD has sworn by himself," says the LORD, the God of hosts: "I abhor the pride of Jacob, and detest his fortresses. Therefore I will deliver up the city with all that is in it.

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 will be, if there remain ten men in one house, they will die, and the remaining ones will be left.

Sɛ wogya nnipa edu wɔ efie baako mu a, wɔn nso bɛwuwu.

10 "When a man's relative carries him, even he who burns him, to bring bodies out of the house, and asks him who is in the innermost parts of the house, 'Is there yet any with you?' And he says, 'No;' then he will say, 'Hush. Indeed we must not mention 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, look, the LORD commands, and the great house will be smashed to pieces, and the little house into bits.

Na Awurade ahyɛ mmara na ɔbɛbubu afie akɛseɛ no mu asinasini ne afie nketewa no nso mu nketenkete.

12 Do horses run on the rocky crags? Does one plow there with oxen? But you have turned justice into poison, and the fruit of righteousness into bitterness;

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 you who rejoice in Lo Debar, who say, 'Haven't we taken for ourselves Karnaim 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 For, look, I will raise up against you a nation, house of Israel," says the LORD, the God of hosts; "and they will afflict you from Lebo Hamath to the Wadi Arabah."

Deɛ Asafo Awurade Onyankopɔn seɛ nie: “Mɛhwanyan ɔman bi abɛtia mo, Ao Israelfoɔ, deɛ ɔbɛhyɛ mo so firi Lebo Hamat akɔsi Araba bɔnhwa mu.”
