Amòs 6
1 Sa pral rèd nèt pou moun k'ap mennen lavi dous nan peyi Siyon an, pou moun sou mòn Samari ki kwè pa gen danje pou yo! Yo pase pou lelit nan peyi Izrayèl, premye peyi sou latè. Se bò kote yo pèp la ap kouri vini. Yo di:
Woe to them that are at ease in Zion and trust in the moutaine of Samaria, which were famous at the beginning of the nations: and the house of Israel came to them.
2 Al gade sa k'ap pase lavil Kalne. Apre sa, ale pase bò gwo lavil Amat la. Lèfini, desann kay moun Filisti yo lavil Gat. Eske zafè yo pi bon pase zafè peyi Jida ak zafè peyi Izrayèl? Eske peyi yo a pi gran pase pa nou yo?
Goe you vnto Calneh, and see: and from thence goe you to Hamath the great: then goe downe to Gath of the Philistims: be they better then these kingdomes? or the border of their land greater then your border,
3 N'ap twonpe tèt nou, nou refize admèt jou malè a fin rive sou nou. Men, se nou menm ankò k'ap rale malè sou peyi a.
Ye that put farre away the euill day, and approch to the seate of iniquitie?
4 Sa pral rèd nèt pou moun ki kouche sou bèl kabann, k'ap layite kò yo sou bon matla dous, k'ap manje jenn ti mouton ak jenn ti bèf!
They lie vpon beddes of yuorie, and stretch themselues vpon their beddes, and eate the lambes of the flocke, and the calues out of the stall.
5 Y'ap plede ranse pandan gita ap jwe. Yo kwè yo jwe mizik tankou David.
They sing to the sounde of the viole: they inuent to themselues instruments of musike like Dauid.
6 Y'ap bwè diven san gad dèyè, y'ap pase pi bon kalite odè ki genyen sou yo. Men, yo pa gen lapenn pou malè k'ap tonbe sou pitit pitit Jozèf yo.
They drinke wine in bowles, and anoynt themselues with the chiefe ointments, but no man is sory for the affliction of Ioseph.
7 Se poutèt sa, premye moun y'ap depòte se yo menm. Sosyete moun k'ap fè banbòch yo va disparèt.
Therefore nowe shall they go captiue with the first that go captiue, and the sorow of them that stretched themselues, is at hand.
8 Seyè a, Bondye sèl Mèt la, te fè sèman sou tèt li. Men avètisman Seyè a, Bondye ki gen tout pouvwa a, bay: Mwen pa ka sipòte lògèy pèp Izrayèl la gen nan kè li. Mwen pa ka wè gwo kay y'ap plede bati yo. M'ap lage kapital la nan men lènmi ak tout moun ladan l'.
The Lord God hath sworne by himselfe, saith the Lord God of hostes, I abhorre the excellencie of Iaakob, and hate his palaces: therefore wil I deliuer vp the citie with all that is therein.
9 Si gen dis gason nan yon kay ki rete, y'ap touye yo.
And if there remaine ten men in one house, they shall die.
10 Lè yon fanmi moun mouri a va vin pran kadav la anndan kay la pou li al antere l', l'a pale ak moun ki nan fon kay la, l'a mande: Eske gen moun la ankò ak ou? Yon vwa va reponn: Non, pa genyen. Lè sa a, l'a di: Pe bouch nou! Pa nonmen non Bondye nan bagay sa a!
And his vncle shall take him vp and burne him to cary out the bones out of the house, and shall say vnto him, that is by ye sides of the house, Is there yet any with thee? And he shall say, None. Then shall he say, Holde thy tongue: for we may not remember the Name of the Lord.
11 Men lòd Seyè a bay: Y'ap kraze gwo kay yo an miyèt moso. Y'ap demoli ti kay yo.
For behold, the Lord commandeth, and he will smite the great house with breaches, and the litle house with clefts.
12 Eske chwal ka kouri sou glasi? Eske moun ka raboure lanmè avèk bèf? Men nou menm, nou fè lajistis tounen pwazon, nou fè inonsan pase pou koupab.
Shal horses runne vpon the rocke? or wil one plowe there with oxen? for yee haue turned iudgement into gall, and the fruite of righteousnes into wormewood.
13 Nou fè kè nou kontan paske nou pran lavil Lodeba. N'ap plede di: O wi, se avèk fòs kouraj nou nou pran kòn lan.
Ye reioyce in a thing of nought: yee say, Haue not wee gotten vs hornes by our owne strength?
14 Men sa Seyè a, li menm ki Bondye ki gen tout pouvwa a, di: Nou menm, moun Izrayèl, m'ap fè yon nasyon leve dèyè nou. Wi, se mwen menm menm k'ap fè sa, yon nasyon k'ap pran peyi a nan men nou, yon nasyon ki pral peze nou depi nan pas Amat nan nò rive jouk ravin Araba nan sid.
But behold, I wil raise vp against you a nation, O house of Israel, sayeth the Lord God of hostes: and they shall afflict you, from the entring in of Hamath vnto the riuer of the wildernes.
