< Amos 4 >

1 Hear this word, ye kine of Bashan, Who [are] in the mountain of Samaria, Who are oppressing the poor, Who are bruising the needy, Who are saying to their lords: 'Bring in, and we do drink.'
Ẹ gbọ́ ọ̀rọ̀ yìí, ẹ̀yin màlúù Baṣani lórí òkè Samaria, ẹ̀yin obìnrin tí ó ń ni tálákà lára, tí ó ń tẹ aláìní mọ́lẹ̀, tí ó wí fún ọkọ rẹ̀, “Gbé wá kí a sì mu!”
2 Sworn hath the Lord Jehovah by His holiness, That lo, days are coming upon you, And he hath taken you away with hooks, And your posterity with fish-hooks.
Olúwa Olódùmarè ti fi ìwà mímọ́ rẹ̀ búra: “Àkókò náà yóò dé nítòótọ́ nígbà tí a ó fi ìwọ̀ mú un yín lọ, ẹni tí ó kẹ́yìn pẹ̀lú ìwọ̀ ẹja.
3 And [by] breaches ye go forth, A woman [at that] over-against her, And ye have cast down the high place, An affirmation of Jehovah.
Ẹni kọ̀ọ̀kan yín yóò jáde lọ gba àárín odi yíya a ó sì lé e yín sí Harmoni,” ni Olúwa wí.
4 Enter ye Beth-El, and transgress, At Gilgal multiply transgression, And bring in every morning your sacrifices, Every third year your tithes.
“Ẹ lọ sí Beteli láti dẹ́ṣẹ̀; ẹ lọ sí Gilgali kí ẹ sì dẹ́ṣẹ̀ sí i. Ẹ mú ẹbọ sísun yín láràárọ̀ wá, ìdámẹ́wàá yín ní ọdọọdún mẹ́ta.
5 And perfume with leaven a thank-offering, And proclaim willing gifts, sound ye! For so ye have loved, O sons of Israel, An affirmation of the Lord Jehovah.
Kí ẹ mú ọ̀rẹ́ ìdúpẹ́ ìyẹ̀fun ìwúkàrà ti a sun kí ẹ sì mú ọrẹ àtinúwá lọ fi wọ́n yangàn, ẹ̀yin ènìyàn Israẹli, nítorí èyí ni ẹ fẹ́ láti ṣe,” ni Olúwa Olódùmarè wí.
6 And I also — I have given to you cleanness of teeth in all your cities, And lack of bread in all your places, And ye have not turned back unto Me, an affirmation of Jehovah.
“Èmi fún un yín ní mímọ́ eyín ní gbogbo ìlú yín, àti àìní oúnjẹ ní gbogbo ibùgbé yín, síbẹ̀, ẹ̀yin kò yípadà sọ́dọ̀ mi,” ni Olúwa wí.
7 And I also — I have withheld from you the rain. While yet three months to harvest, And I have sent rain on one city, And on another city I do not send rain, One portion is rained on, And the portion on which it raineth not withereth.
“Àti pẹ̀lú mo mú òjò dúró nígbà tí ìkórè ku oṣù mẹ́ta. Mo rán òjò sí ibùgbé kan ṣùgbọ́n kò rọ̀ sí ìlú mìíràn. Oko kan ní òjò; àwọn mìíràn kò ní ó sì gbẹ.
8 And wandered have two or three cities, Unto the same city to drink water, And they are not satisfied, And ye have not turned back unto Me, An affirmation of Jehovah.
Àwọn ènìyàn ń rìn láti ìlú kan sí ìlú mìíràn fún omi wọn kò rí mu tẹ́ wọn lọ́rùn, síbẹ̀ ẹ̀yin kò padà sí ọ̀dọ̀ mi,” ni Olúwa wí.
9 I have smitten you with blasting and with mildew, The abundance of your gardens and of your vineyards, And of your figs, and of your olives, Eat doth the palmer-worm, And ye have not turned back unto Me, An affirmation of Jehovah.
“Lọ́pọ̀ ìgbà ni mo kọlu ọgbà àti ọgbà àjàrà yín mo fi ìrẹ̀dànù àti ìmúwòdù lù wọ́n. Eṣú sì jẹ igi ọ̀pọ̀tọ́ àti igi olifi yín, síbẹ̀ ẹ̀yin kò yípadà sí mi,” ni Olúwa wí.
10 I have sent among you pestilence by the way of Egypt, I have slain by sword your choice ones, With your captive horses, And I cause the stink of your camps to come up — even into your nostrils, And ye have not turned back unto Me, An affirmation of Jehovah.
“Mo rán àjàkálẹ̀-ààrùn sí i yín bí mo ti ṣe sí Ejibiti. Mo fi idà pa àwọn ọ̀dọ́mọkùnrin yín. Pẹ̀lú àwọn ẹṣin tí a kó ní ìgbèkùn. Mo kún imú yín fún òórùn ibùdó yín, síbẹ̀ ẹ̀yin kò yípadà sí mi,” ni Olúwa wí.
11 I have overturned among you, Like the overturn by God of Sodom and Gomorrah, And ye are as a brand delivered from a burning, And ye have not turned back unto Me, An affirmation of Jehovah.
“Mo ti bì ṣubú nínú yín, bí Ọlọ́run ti bi Sodomu àti Gomorra ṣubú ẹ̀yin sì dàbí ògúnná tí a fa yọ kúrò nínú iná, síbẹ̀ ẹ̀yin kò yípadà sí mi,” ni Olúwa wí.
12 Therefore, thus I do to thee, O Israel, at last, Because this I do to thee, Prepare to meet thy God, O Israel.
“Nítorí náà, èyí ni ohun tí èmi yóò ṣe sí i yín, Israẹli, àti nítorí tí èmi ó ṣe èyí sí i yín, ẹ múra láti pàdé Ọlọ́run yín, ẹ̀yin Israẹli.”
13 For, lo, the former of mountains, and creator of wind, And the declarer to man what [is] His thought, He is making dawn obscurity, And is treading on high places of earth, Jehovah, God of Hosts, [is] His name!
Ẹni tí ó dá àwọn òkè tí ó dá afẹ́fẹ́ tí ó sì fi èrò rẹ̀ hàn sí ènìyàn, ẹni tí ó yípadà sí òkùnkùn tí ó sì tẹ ibi gíga ayé. Olúwa Ọlọ́run àwọn ọmọ-ogun ni orúkọ rẹ̀.
