Amòs 5
1 Nou menm, moun pèp Izrayèl, koute chante m'ap chante nan lapenn mwen gen pou nou:
Hear the word this which I [am] lifting up on you a lamentation O house of Israel.
2 Pèp Izrayèl la tankou yon jenn fi. Li tonbe. Li p'ap janm leve ankò. Men li kouche atè a. Pa gen pesonn pou ba l' men.
She has fallen not she will repeat to rise [the] virgin of Israel she has been abandoned on own land her there not [is one who] raises up her.
3 Seyè a di konsa: Lè yon lavil nan peyi Izrayèl la voye mil (1000) sòlda nan lagè, se san (100) ase ki tounen. Lè yon lòt lavil voye san (100) se dis ase ki tounen.
For thus he says [the] Lord Yahweh the city which goes out a thousand it will have left a hundred and which goes out a hundred it will have left ten of [the] house of Israel.
4 Seyè a pale ak pèp Izrayèl la, li di l' konsa: Tounen vin jwenn mwen, n'a gen lavi.
For thus he says Yahweh to [the] house of Israel seek me and live.
5 Pa al chache m' lavil Betèl. Pa ale lavil Gilgal. Pa moute ale bò Bècheba al fè sèvis. Betèl pa la pou lontan. Yo gen pou yo depòte moun Gilgal yo voye yo nan peyi etranje.
And may not you seek Beth-el and Gilgal not you must go and Beer Sheba not you must pass over for Gilgal certainly it will go into exile and Beth-el it will become trouble.
6 Chache vin jwenn Seyè a, n'a gen lavi. Si se pa sa, l'ap tonbe sou pèp Izrayèl la tankou dife. Dife a ap boule lavil Betèl. Pesonn p'ap ka tenyen l'.
Seek Yahweh and live lest he should rush like fire [the] house of Joseph and it will consume and not [one who] extinguishes [it] [will belong] to Beth-el.
7 Adye! N'ap vire lajistis lanvè, n'ap pilonnen dwa pèp la anba pye nou!
O those [who] turn into wormwood justice and righteousness to the ground they thrust down.
8 Se Seyè a ki te fè zetwal yo, Lapousiyè ak Oryon. Li fè lannwit tounen lajounen, li fè lajounen tounen lannwit. Li rele dlo lanmè a, li vide l' sou tout latè. Yo rele l' Seyè. Wi, se konsa yo rele l'.
[the] maker of Pleiades and Orion and [the one who] turns into morning deep darkness and day night he makes dark the [one who] summons [the] waters of the sea and he poured out them on [the] surface of the earth [is] Yahweh name his.
9 Li rale malè sou gwo chèf yo, li fè kraze sitadèl yo nèt.
The [who] causes to flash devastation on [the] strong and devastation on a fortress it will come.
10 Nou pa vle wè moun k'ap denonse lenjistis. Nou pa vle wè moun k'ap di verite nan tribinal.
They hate in the gate [one who] reproves and [one who] speaks blameless they abhor.
11 Nou fin peze pòv malere yo, nou fòse yo ban nou nan rekòt jaden yo. Se poutèt sa, nou p'ap rete nan bèl gwo kay an wòch nou bati yo, ni nou p'ap bwè diven ki fèt ak rezen ki soti nan bèl jaden nou te plante yo.
Therefore because trample you on [the] poor and a portion of grain you take from him houses of hewn [stone] you have built and not you will dwell in them vineyards of delight you have planted and not you will drink wine their.
12 Mwen konnen tou jan peche nou fè yo gwo anpil, jan se pa de ti krim nou pa fè. Nou pèsekite moun serye. Nou pran lajan nan men moun k'ap achte figi nou. Nou enpoze pòv malere yo jwenn jistis nan tribinal.
For I know many transgressions your and numerous sins your O opposers of [the] righteous O takers of ransom and needy [people] in the gate they turn aside.
13 Se poutèt sa, yon moun ki gen konprann, se je wè bouch pe. Tan an twò move deyò a.
Therefore the prudent [person] at the time that he will be silent for [is] a time evil it.
14 Chache fè sa ki byen pou nou ka viv. Pa fè sa ki mal. Lè sa a, Seyè a, Bondye ki gen tout pouvwa a, va kanpe avèk nou jan n'ap plede di l' la.
Seek good and may not [it be] evil so that you will live and it may be thus Yahweh God of hosts [will be] with you just as you have said.
15 Rayi sa ki mal, renmen sa ki byen. Pa kite yo fè lenjistis nan tribinal. Nou pa janm konnen, Seyè a ka gen pitye pou ti rès ki rete nan pitit pitit Jozèf yo.
Hate evil and love good and set up in the gate justice perhaps he will show favor to Yahweh God of hosts [the] remnant of Joseph.
16 Se poutèt sa, men sa Seyè a, Bondye ki gen tout pouvwa a, di: Moun pral mache nan tout lari, yo pral rele nan tout kalfou: Mezanmi, mezanmi, ki lapenn sa a! Yo pral rele tout moun vin nan lanmò a. Y'ap fè chache moun ki konn rele yo pou yo vin kenbe rèl la.
Therefore thus he says Yahweh God of hosts [the] Lord [will be] in all [the] open places wailing and in all [the] streets people will say alas! alas! and people will call a farmer to mourning and wailing to [those who] know lamentation.
17 Nan tout jaden moun ap plenn. Tou sa, paske m'ap vin pini nou. Se Seyè a menm ki di sa.
And [will be] in all [the] vineyards wailing for I will pass in midst your he says Yahweh.
18 Sa pral rèd nèt pou moun ki anvi wè jou Seyè a rive! Kisa jou sa a ap fè pou yo? Se pral yon jou fènwa, se p'ap yon jou limyè.
Woe to! those [who] desire [the] day of Yahweh why? this to you [the] day of Yahweh it [will be] darkness and not light.
19 Se va tankou yon nonm k'ap kouri pou lapli, epi li tonbe larivyè. Ou ankò, tankou yon moun ki rive lakay li, li mete men l' sou panno kay la, epi yon krab zarenyen mòde l'.
Just as he flees someone from before the lion and it meets him the bear and he goes the house and he leans hand his on the wall and it bites him the snake.
20 Jou Seyè a ap vini an, va fè nwa kou lank, p'ap fè klate. Se va yon jou fènwa, san yon ti limyè.
¿ Not [be] darkness [will] [the] day of Yahweh and not light and gloomy and not brightness [will belong] to it.
21 Seyè a di konsa: Mwen pa vle wè gwo fèt n'ap fè pou mwen yo. Mwen pa ka santi yo. Mwen pa ka sipòte lè nou reyini pou fè sèvis pou mwen.
I hate I reject feasts your and not I delight in assemblies your.
22 Lè n'a pote bèt pou boule pou mwen, lè n'a fè m' ofrann gato, sa p'ap fè m' plezi. Ni mwen p'ap menm gade bèt gra nou pote vin ofri m' pou di m' mèsi.
That except you will offer up to me burnt offerings and grain offerings your not I will accept [them] and [the] peace offering of fatlings your not I will pay attention to.
23 Sispann chante kantik nou yo nan zòrèy mwen. Mwen pa vle tande mizik gita nou yo ankò.
Remove from with me [the] noise of songs your and [the] music of lyres your not I will listen to.
24 Tankou dlo k'ap kouri larivyè, se pou nou rann tout moun jistis nan peyi a. Tankou yon kouran dlo k'ap kouri san rete, se pou nou toujou fè sa ki dwat.
And it may roll on like water justice and righteousness like a wadi ever-flowing.
25 Nou menm, moun Izrayèl, pandan karantan nou pase nan dezè a, nou janm ofri bèt pou touye pou mwen? Nou janm ofri m' gato?
¿ Sacrifices and grain offering[s] did you bring near to me in the wilderness forty year[s] O house of Israel.
26 Se konsa, koulye a nou gen pou nou pote lakay nou pòtre nou te fè pou nou yo: pòtre Sakit, wa nou an, ak pòtre zetwal Kevan an, bondye n'ap sèvi a.
And you will lift up Sikkuth king your and Kiyyun images your [the] star of gods your which you made for yourselves.
27 M'ap depòte nou nan yon peyi lòt bò Damas. Men sa Seyè a di, li menm yo rele Bondye ki gen tout pouvwa a.
And I will send into exile you from beyond Damascus he says [is] Yahweh God of hosts name his.
