Amos 3
1 O Israel, se nya si Yehowa gblɔ tso mi ƒome blibo si wòkplɔ tso Egipte la ŋu ɖa.
Hear the word this which he has spoken Yahweh on you O people of Israel on all the clan which I brought up from [the] land of Egypt saying.
2 “Le amegbetɔƒome siwo katã le anyigba dzi dome la, miawo ko metia, eya ta wòle be mahe to na mi vevie ɖe miaƒe nu vɔ̃wo ta ɖo,
Only you I have known from all [the] clans of the earth there-fore I will visit on you all iniquities your.
3 elabena aleke ame eve ate ŋu azɔ ɖekae ne womeɖo gbe ɖi o?”
¿ Do they walk two [people] together except if they have met by appointment.
4 Ɖe dzata ɖea gbe le ave me ne melé nu oa? Ɖe dzata tea gbe le eƒe do me ne mekpɔ lé nu haɖe oa?
¿ Does it roar a lion in the forest and prey not [belongs] to it ¿ does it give forth a young lion voice its from den its except if it has caught [something].
5 Ɖe xevi dzona ɖe mɔ dzi le anyigba, ne wometre mɔ nɛ oa? Alo ɖe mɔ fena, ne naneke meɖo eme oa?
¿ Does it fall a bird on bird-trap of the earth and [is] a snare there not for it ¿ does it go up a bird-trap from the ground and surely not it catches [something].
6 Ne kpẽ ɖi le du me la, ɖe dua me tɔwo mevɔ̃na oa? Ne dzɔgbevɔ̃e va du aɖe dzi la, ɖe menye Yehowae ɖe mɔ oa?
Is it blown a trumpet in a city and [the] people not they tremble or? is it calamity in a city and Yahweh not he has done [it].
7 Eya ta Yehowa Ŋusẽkatãtɔ, mewɔa naneke ne meɖe eƒe ɖoɖo fia eƒe dɔla nyagblɔɖilawo hafi o.
For not he does [the] Lord Yahweh anything that except he has revealed secret counsel his to servants his the prophets.
8 Dzata ɖe gbe, ame kae mavɔ̃ o. Yehowa Mawu ƒo nu, ame kae agbe be yemagblɔ nya ɖi o.
A lion it has roared who? not will he be afraid [the] Lord Yahweh he has spoken who? not will he prophesy.
9 Miɖe gbeƒã le Asdod kple Egipte fiasãwo me be, “Miƒo ƒu mia ɖokuiwo ɖe Samaria towo dzi, ne miakpɔ ʋunyaʋunya gã kple teteɖeanyi siwo le edzi yim le dukɔ la dome.”
Proclaim to [the] fortresses in Ashdod and to [the] fortresses in [the] land of Egypt and say gather yourselves on [the] mountains of Samaria and see disturbances great in [the] midst of it and oppression in midst its.
10 Yehowa be, “Nye dukɔ ŋlɔ nu nyui wɔwɔ be, woƒe aƒe nyuiwo me yɔ kple nu siwo wofi kple nu siwo woda adzoe.”
And not they know to do straightforwardness [the] utterance of Yahweh those [who] store up violence and devastation in fortresses their.
11 Yehowa Mawu be, “Eya ta futɔ aɖe ava nye avuzi le miaƒe anyigba dzi, agbã miaƒe mɔ sesẽwo, eye wòaha miaƒe fiasãwo.”
Therefore thus he says [the] Lord Yahweh an opponent and around the land and he will bring down from you strength your and they will be plundered fortresses your.
12 Ale Yehowa gblɔe nye si, “Abe ale si Alẽkplɔla ɖea lã ƒe ata eve kple to kakɛ aɖe ko le dzata ƒe nu me la, nenema kee wòanɔ na Israelvi siwo nɔ Samaria le aba ƒe dzogoe dzi kple ame siwo nɔ aba ƒe kundru dzi.”
Thus he says Yahweh just as he delivers the shepherd from [the] mouth of lion two legs or a piece of an ear so they will be delivered [the] people of Israel who dwell in Samaria with a corner of a bed and with silk of a couch.
13 Aƒetɔ Yehowa, Dziƒoʋakɔwo ƒe Mawu la gblɔ be, “Misee, eye miagblɔe na Yakob ƒe aƒe la be:
Hear and warn [the] house of Jacob [the] utterance of [the] Lord Yahweh [the] God of hosts.
14 Gbe si gbe mahe to na Israel ɖe eƒe nu vɔ̃wo ta la, gbe ma gbe kee matsrɔ̃ legba siwo katã le Betel. Woaŋe vɔ̃samlekpui la ƒe dzowo woage ɖe anyigba.
That on [the] day visit I [the] transgressions of Israel on it and I will visit [them] on [the] altars of Beth-el and they will be cut off [the] horns of the altar and they will fall to the ground.
15 Magbã kesinɔtɔwo ƒe aƒe nyuiwo, akaka woƒe vuvɔŋɔlixɔ dranyiwo kple woƒe dzomeŋɔlixɔwo. Matsrɔ̃ woƒe nyiɖuxɔwo, eye magbã woƒe sãwo,” Yehowae gblɔe.
And I will strike [the] house of the winter to [the] house of the summer and they will perish [the] houses of ivory and people will snatch away houses great [the] utterance of Yahweh.
