Amòs 2
1 Seyè a di konsa: Moun lavil Moab yo ap plede fè peche sou peche san rete. Mwen fin pran desizyon m', mwen p'ap chanje lide. Yo pa respekte zosman wa Edon an. Yo boule yo fè yo tounen sann.
Thus says YHWH: "For three transgressions of Moab, yes, for four, I will not turn away its punishment; because he burned the bones of the king of Edom into lime;
2 M'ap voye dife nan peyi Moab la. L'a boule gwo kay lavil Keriyòt yo ra tè. Moun Moab yo ap mouri nan mitan batay la, antan moun k'ap goumen yo ap rele byen fò, epi klewon ap kònen.
but I will send a fire on Moab, and it will devour the palaces of Kerioth; and Moab will die with tumult, with shouting, and with the sound of the trumpet;
3 M'ap touye chèf k'ap gouvènen nan mitan yo ansanm ak tout lòt chèf ki nan peyi a. Se Seyè a menm ki di sa.
and I will cut off the judge from their midst, and will kill all its officials with him," says YHWH.
4 Seyè a di konsa: Moun peyi Jida yo ap plede fè peche sou peche san rete. Mwen fin pran desizyon m', mwen p'ap chanje lide. Yo voye sa mwen te moutre yo a jete. Yo p'ap fè sa m' te ba yo lòd fè a. Yo kite menm zidòl zansèt yo te sèvi a fè yo pèdi wout yo.
Thus says YHWH: "For three transgressions of Judah, yes, for four, I will not turn away its punishment; because they have rejected YHWH's law, and have not kept his statutes. Their false idols which they made, after which their fathers walked, have led them astray.
5 Se poutèt sa, m'ap voye dife nan peyi Jida a. L'a boule gwo kay lavil Jerizalèm yo ra tè.
But I will send a fire on Judah, and it will devour the palaces of Jerusalem."
6 Seyè a di konsa: Moun pèp Izrayèl yo ap plede fè peche sou peche san rete. Mwen fin pran desizyon m', mwen p'ap chanje lide. Yo pran moun serye ki pa ka peye dèt yo, yo vann yo tankou esklav. Yo pran pòv malere ki pa gen senk pou peye dèt yo, yo vann yo pou gremesi.
Thus says YHWH: "For three transgressions of Israel, yes, for four, I will not turn away its punishment; because they have sold the righteous for silver, and the needy for a pair of shoes;
7 Y'ap pilonnen malere anba pye yo. Y'ap fè pòv yo vin pi pòv. Papa kou pitit al dèyè fi k'ap sèvi nan kay la. Konsa, yo trennen non Bondye nan labou.
They trample on the dust of the earth on the head of the poor, and deny justice to the oppressed; and a man and his father use the same maiden, to profane my holy name;
8 Yo kouche bò lotèl yo sou rad moun te mete nan plan lakay yo. Nan tanp bondye yo a y'ap bwè bweson yo te fè moun bay pou amann.
and they lay themselves down beside every altar on clothes taken in pledge; and in the house of their God they drink the wine of those who have been fined.
9 Men, nou menm pèp mwen, se pou nou mwen te detwi moun Amori yo nèt, yon bann moun ki te wo tankou pye palmis, ki te gen kouraj tankou pye bwadchenn. Mwen koupe branch yo ra tè. Mwen dechouke rasin yo.
Yet I destroyed the Amorite before them, whose height was like the height of the cedars, and he was strong as the oaks; yet I destroyed his fruit from above, and his roots from beneath.
10 Mwen fè nou soti kite peyi Lejip. Mwen mennen nou pandan karantan nan dezè a. Mwen ban nou peyi moun Amori yo pou peyi pa nou.
Also I brought you up out of the land of Egypt, and led you forty years in the wilderness, to possess the land of the Amorite.
11 Mwen te chwazi kèk nan pitit gason nou yo pou sèvi m' prèt, ak kèk nan jenn gason nou yo pou yo ka vin nazirit. Se pa konsa sa te fèt vre, moun Izrayèl? Se mwen menm, Seyè a, ki di sa.
I raised up some of your sons for prophets, and some of your young men for Nazirites. Isn't this true, you children of Israel?" says YHWH.
12 Men, nou fè nazirit yo bwè diven, nou bay pwofèt yo lòd pou yo pa bay mesaj mwen ba yo pou pèp la.
"But you gave the Nazirites wine to drink, and commanded the prophets, saying, 'Do not prophesy.'
13 Koulye a, mwen pral kraze nou anba pye m' menm jan yon kabwèt chaje ap foule tè.
Look, I will crush you in your place, as a cart crushes that is full of grain.
14 Nou te mèt konn kouri, nou p'ap chape. Gwonèg kou nou gwonèg, sa p'ap sèvi nou anyen. Vanyan kou nou vanyan, nou p'ap ka sove pwòp tèt nou.
Flight will perish from the swift; and the strong won't strengthen his force; neither shall the mighty deliver himself;
15 Moun k'ap tire flèch yo p'ap ka rete kanpe. Moun k'ap kouri vit yo p'ap ka chape. Kavalye sou chwal p'ap ka sove lavi yo.
neither shall he stand who handles the bow; and he who is swift of foot won't escape; neither shall he who rides the horse deliver himself;
16 Jou sa a, ata sòlda ki pi vanyan yo ap lage zam yo atè, y'ap kouri met deyò tankou manman yo te fè yo. Se Seyè a menm ki di sa.
and he who is courageous among the mighty will flee away naked on that day," says YHWH.
