Amos 3

1 O Israel, se nya si Yehowa gblɔ tso mi ƒome blibo si wòkplɔ tso Egipte la ŋu ɖa.

Sones of Israel, here ye the word which the Lord spak on you, and on al the kynrede, which Y ledde out of the lond of Egipt,

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,

and seide, Oneli Y knewe you of alle the kynredis of erthe; therfor Y schal visite on you alle youre wickidnessis.

3 elabena aleke ame eve ate ŋu azɔ ɖekae ne womeɖo gbe ɖi o?”

Whether tweyne schulen go togidere, no but it acorde to hem?

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?

Whether a lioun schal rore in a forest, no but he haue prey? Whether the whelp of a lioun schal yyue vois fro his denne, no but he take ony thing?

5 Ɖe xevi dzona ɖe mɔ dzi le anyigba, ne wometre mɔ nɛ oa? Alo ɖe mɔ fena, ne naneke meɖo eme oa?

Whether a brid schal falle in to a snare of erthe, with outen a foulere? Whether a snare schal be takun awei fro erthe, bifor that it tak sum thing?

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?

Whether a trumpe schal sowne in a citee, and the puple schal not drede? Whether yuel schal be in a citee, which yuel the Lord schal not make?

7 Eya ta Yehowa Ŋusẽkatãtɔ, mewɔa naneke ne meɖe eƒe ɖoɖo fia eƒe dɔla nyagblɔɖilawo hafi o.

For the Lord God schal not make a word, no but he schewe his priuyte to hise seruauntis profetis.

8 Dzata ɖe gbe, ame kae mavɔ̃ o. Yehowa Mawu ƒo nu, ame kae agbe be yemagblɔ nya ɖi o.

A lioun schal rore, who schal not drede? the Lord God spak, who schal not profesie?

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.”

Make ye herd in the housis of Azotus, and in the housis of the lond of Egipt; and seie ye, Be ye gaderid togidere on the hillis of Samarye, and se ye many woodnessis in the myddis therof, and hem that suffren fals calenge in the priuy places therof.

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 thei kouden not do riytful thing, seith the Lord, and tresouriden wickidnesse and raueyn in her housis.

11 Yehowa Mawu be, “Eya ta futɔ aɖe ava nye avuzi le miaƒe anyigba dzi, agbã miaƒe mɔ sesẽwo, eye wòaha miaƒe fiasãwo.”

Therfor the Lord God seith these thingis, The lond schal be troblid, and be cumpassid; and thi strengthe schal be drawun doun of thee, and thin housis schulen be rauyschid.

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.”

The Lord God seith these thingis, As if a schepherd rauyschith fro the mouth of a lioun tweyne hipis, ether the laste thing of the eere, so the children of Israel schulen be rauyschid, that dwellen in Samarie, in the cuntrei of bed, and in the bed of Damask.

13 Aƒetɔ Yehowa, Dziƒoʋakɔwo ƒe Mawu la gblɔ be, “Misee, eye miagblɔe na Yakob ƒe aƒe la be:

Here ye, and witnesse ye in the hous of Jacob, seith the Lord God of oostis.

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.

For in the dai, whanne Y schal bigynne to visite the trespassyngis of Israel on hym, Y schal visite also on the auteris of Bethel; and the hornes of the auter schulen be kit awei, and schulen falle doun in to erthe.

15 Magbã kesinɔtɔwo ƒe aƒe nyuiwo, akaka woƒe vuvɔŋɔlixɔ dranyiwo kple woƒe dzomeŋɔlixɔwo. Matsrɔ̃ woƒe nyiɖuxɔwo, eye magbã woƒe sãwo,” Yehowae gblɔe.

And Y schal smyte the wynter hous with the somer hous, and the housis of yuer schulen perische, and many housis schulen be distried, seith the Lord.
