Amos 6
1 Alas for the careless in Zion, and for them who put confidence in the mountain of Samaria, —the distinguished among the first group of nations, to whom came in the house of Israel.
Malè a sila ki alèz nan Sion yo, e ak sila ki santi yo ansekirite nan mòn Samarie yo, mesye ki distenge pami meyè nan nasyon yo, a sila lakay Israël konn vini yo.
2 Pass ye over to Calneh, and see, and go on from thence to Hamath the great, —and go down to Gath of the Philistines, are they better than these kingdoms? or their boundary larger than your boundary?
Ale janbe kote Calné pou gade. Soti la rive Hamath Gran an, pou desann kote Gath de Filisten yo. Èske yo pi bon ke wayòm sila yo? Èske teritwa pa yo a pi gran pase pa nou an?
3 Ye who are putting far away the day of calamity, —but bringing near the abode of violence:
Malè a nou ki konn ranvoye jou malè! Ka pote sant vyolans lan vin pi pre!
4 Who are lying on beds of ivory, and sprawling on their couch of pleasure, —and eating the well-fed of the flock, and the fatted calves out of the midst of the stalls:
K ap repoze sou kabann fèt ak livwa yo, k ap gaye kò yo sou gwo sofa yo, e k ap manje jenn mouton ki soti nan pak la, ak jenn bèf ki soti nan mitan tonèl bèt la;
5 Who are bawling at the bidding of the harp, —like David, have they invented for themselves instruments of song:
sila ki enpwovize ak son ap la, ki envante lenstriman mizik yo menm jan ak David;
6 Who are quaffing bowls of wine, and, with the best of oils, anointing themselves, —and are not afflicted for the injury of Joseph: —
Sila k ap bwè diven nan kalbas sakrifis yo pandan yo onksyone kò yo ak pi bon lwil yo, malgre sa, yo pa kriye pou Joseph, ki fin devaste nèt la.
7 Therefore, at once, shall they go into exile among the first of the exiles, —so shall be disturbed the revelry of sprawlers.
Akoz sa, yo va antre an egzil nan tèt a egzile yo. Banbòch a sanzave yo va sispann.
8 Sworn hath the Lord, Yahweh, by his own life, Declareth Yahweh, God of hosts, abhorring am I, the grandeur of Jacob, and, his palaces, I hate, —therefore will I cast off the city and the fulness thereof.
Senyè BONDYE a te sèmante pa Li menm, SENYÈ Bondye dèzame yo te deklare: “Mwen rayi awogans a Jacob la, e Mwen deteste sitadèl li yo. Pou sa, Mwen va livre tout vil la ak tout sa ki ladann.”
9 And it shall come to pass, though there be left remaining ten men in one house, yet shall they die;
Epi li va vin rive ke si genyen dizòm ki rete nan yon kay, yo va mouri.
10 And a man’s near of kin, even he who is about to burn the bones, shall carry him out of the house, when he shall say to him that is in the hinder parts of the house—Are there yet any with thee? and he shall say—No one. Then shall he say—Hush! for we must not invoke the name of Yahweh.
Alò tonton a youn, oswa mèt mòg k ap antere l a va leve pote zo li sòti nan kay la. Konsa, li va mande a sila ki nan pati pi anndan nan kay la: “Èske gen lòt moun avèk ou?” Epi sila a va reponn: “Nanpwen moun”. Konsa li va reponn: “Rete an silans. Paske non a SENYÈ a pa dwe nonmen menm.”
11 For lo! Yahweh, is giving command, and will smite the great house into ruins, —and the little house with clefts.
“Paske gade byen, SENYÈ a pral kòmande pou gwo lakay la vin kraze nèt, e ti kay la an ti mòso.
12 Shall horses run upon crag? or will a man plough [there] with oxen? For ye have turned to poison the sentence of justice, and the fruit of righteousness, to wormwood:
Èske cheval konn kouri sou wòch, oswa èske yo ka charye wòch yo ak bèf? Konsa, nou te fè Lajistis vin tounen pwazon e fwi ladwati vin anmè nèt.
13 Who rejoice in a thing of nought, —who say, Have we not by our own strength, taken to ourselves horns?
Nou menm k ap rejwi nan yon bagay ki pa anyen, epi k ap di: ‘Èske se pa ak pwòp fòs kouraj nou nou rive pran kòn nan pou nou?’
14 For behold me! raising up against you, O house of Israel, Declareth Yahweh, the God of hosts—a nation! And they shall crush you, from the entering in of Hamath, unto the torrent-bed of the waste plain.
Paske gade byen, Mwen pral leve yon nasyon kont nou, O lakay Israël,” deklare SENYÈ Bondye dèzame yo; “e yo va aflije nou soti nan antre Hamath pou rive jis nan flèv Araba a.”
