Amos 1
1 Words of Amos — who hath been among herdsmen of Tekoa — that he hath 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;
Pawòl a Amos, ki te pami bèje mouton Tekoa yo, de sa li te wè nan vizyon konsènan Israël nan jou a Ozias, wa Juda a, e nan jou a Jéroboam, fis a Joas la, wa Israël la, dezan avan tranbleman tè an.
2 and he saith: Jehovah from Zion doth roar, And from Jerusalem giveth forth His voice, And mourned have pastures of the shepherds, And withered hath the top of Carmel!
Li te di: “SENYÈ a va gwonde soti nan Sion. Li va fè son vwa Li soti Jérusalem; epi patiraj a bèje yo va fè dèy, e anwo tèt Carmel va vin seche nèt.”
3 And thus said Jehovah: For three transgressions of Damascus, And for four, I do not reverse it, Because of their threshing Gilead with sharp-pointed irons,
Konsa pale SENYÈ a: “Akoz de twa transgresyon a Damas yo, menm kat, mwen p ap retire pinisyon li; akoz yo te bat Galaad ak zouti an fè yo.
4 And I have sent a fire against the house of Hazael, And it hath consumed the palaces of Ben-Hadad.
Pou sa, Mwen va voye dife sou kay Hazaël e li va devore sitadèl a Ben-Hadad yo.
5 And I have broken the bar of Damascus, And cut off the inhabitant from Bikat-Aven, And a holder of a sceptre from Beth-Eden, And removed have been the people of Aram to Kir, said Jehovah.
Anplis, Mwen va kase baryè an fè Damas la; Mwen va koupe retire sila ki rete nan vale Bikath-Aven nan, ak sila ki kenbe baton wayal la soti Beth-Éden; epi pèp Syrie a va ale an egzil an Kir,” di SENYÈ a.
6 Thus said Jehovah: 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,
Konsa pale SENYÈ a: “Akoz de twa transgresyon Gaza yo, menm kat, mwen p ap retire pinisyon an, akoz yo te depòte tout pèp la, pou livre yo bay Édom.
7 And I have sent a fire against the wall of Gaza, And it hath consumed her palaces;
Pou sa, Mwen va voye dife sou miray Gaza a, epi li va devore sitadèl li yo nèt.
8 And I have cut off the inhabitant from Ashdod, And a holder of a sceptre from Ashkelon, And have turned back My hand against Ekron, And perished have the remnant of the Philistines, Said the Lord Jehovah.
Anplis, Mwen va koupe retire sila ki rete Asdod yo, ak sila ki kenbe baton wayal la nan Askalon. Mwen va tounen men mwen kont Ékron, epi retay a Filisten yo va peri,” di Senyè BONDYE a.
9 Thus said Jehovah: 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 remembered not the brotherly covenant,
Konsa pale SENYÈ a: “Akoz de twa transgresyon Tyr yo, menm kat, mwen p ap retire pinisyon an, akoz yo te livre tout pèp la nèt bay Édom, e yo pa t sonje akò fratènèl la.
10 And I have sent a fire against the wall of Tyre, And it hath consumed her palaces.
Akoz sa, Mwen va voye dife sou miray Tyr la, e li va devore sitadèl li yo.”
11 Thus said Jehovah: For three transgressions of Edom, And for four, I do not reverse it, Because of his pursuing with a sword his brother, And he hath destroyed his mercies, And tear perpetually doth his anger, And his wrath — he hath kept it for ever,
Konsa pale SENYÈ a: “Akoz de twa transgresyon Édom yo, menm kat; Mwen p ap retire pinisyon an, akoz li te kouri dèyè frè l ak nepe e te refize gen pitye. Mekontantman li te dechire tout tan, e li te kenbe kòlè li jis pou tout tan.
12 And I have sent a fire against Teman, And it hath consumed palaces of Bozrah.
Pou sa, Mwen va voye dife sou Théman, e li va devore tout sitadèl Botsra yo.”
13 Thus said Jehovah: 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,
Konsa pale SENYÈ a: “Akoz de twa transgresyon a fis a Ammon yo, menm kat; Mwen p ap retire pinisyon an, akoz yo te chire vant fanm ansent Galaad yo pou agrandi lizyè yo.
14 And I have kindled a fire against the wall of Rabbah, And it hath consumed her palaces, With a shout in a day of battle, With a whirlwind in a day of hurricane,
Pou sa, Mwen va sanble yon dife sou miray Rabba a. Li va devore sitadèl li yo nèt, nan mitan gwo kri lagè nan jou batay la, nan mitan siklòn nan jou tanpèt la.
15 And gone hath their king in a removal, He and his heads together, said Jehovah!
Konsa, wa yo a va antre an egzil, li menm ansanm ak prens li yo,” di Senyè a.
