Amòs 7
1 Se konsa Seyè a, Bondye a, fè m' fè yon vizyon. Nan vizyon an mwen wè Seyè a t'ap fè yon rafal krikèt vèt. Se te nan epòk yo te fin koupe pòsyon pa wa a nan jaden yo. Chak plant yo te fèk ap boujonnen ankò.
These things the Lord God has revealed to me. And behold, the locust was formed at the beginning of the germination during the latter rains, and behold, the latter rains came after the thundering of the king.
2 Lè krikèt vèt yo te fin manje plant ki te nan peyi a, mwen di: -Tanpri, Seyè, Bondye, padonnen pèp ou a. Ki jan pou pitit pitit Jakòb yo fè kanpe ankò? Yo tou fèb.
And it happened, when they had finally eaten all the grass in the land, that I said, “Lord God, be gracious, I beg you. Who will raise up Jacob, for he is little?”
3 Seyè a chanje lide. Li di: -Sa ou te wè a p'ap rive ankò.
The Lord has been merciful about this. “It will not be,” said the Lord.
4 Se konsa, Seyè a, Bondye a, fè m' fè yon lòt vizyon. Nan vizyon an, mwen wè Seyè a t'ap voye yon dife pou l' devore pèp la pou pini l'. Dife a te fin boule gwo lanmè ki anba tè a, li t'ap devore tout jaden.
These things the Lord God has revealed to me. And behold, the Lord God called for judgment unto fire, and it devoured the manifold abyss, and it consumed simultaneously in every direction.
5 Mwen di: -Tanpri, Seyè, Bondye, pa fè sa. Ki jan pou pitit pitit Jakòb yo fè kanpe ankò? Yo tou fèb.
And I said, “Lord God, cease, I beg you. Who will raise up Jacob, for he is little?”
6 Seyè a chanje lide, li di: -Sa a tou p'ap rive.
The Lord has been merciful about this. “And even this will not be,” said the Lord God.
7 Se konsa, Seyè a fè m' fè yon lòt vizyon ankò. Nan vizyon an, mwen wè Seyè a te kanpe bò yon mi yo te moute tou dwat. Li te gen yon filaplon nan men l'.
These things the Lord revealed to me. And behold, the Lord was standing near a plastered wall, and in his hand was a mason’s trowel.
8 Lè sa a, Seyè a mande m': -Kisa ou wè la a, Amòs? Mwen reponn li: -Yon filaplon. Lè sa a, li di m': -M'ap sèvi ak filaplon sa a pou m' fè pèp la konnen li tankou yon miray ki panche prèt pou tonbe. Mwen p'ap fè pa yo ankò.
And the Lord said to me, “What do you see, Amos?” And I said, “A mason’s trowel.” And the Lord said, “Behold, I will place the trowel in the midst of my people Israel. I will no longer plaster over them.
9 Mwen pral kraze tout kote pitit pitit Izarak yo te konn adore m' sou mòn yo. Mwen pral fè tout kay pitit pitit Izrayèl yo te mete apa pou mwen yo tounen mazi. M'ap fè lagè ak fanmi Jewoboram lan, m'ap wete gouvènman an nan men yo.
And the heights of the idol will be demolished, and the sanctuaries of Israel will be desolate. And I will rise up against the house of Jeroboam with the sword.”
10 Amatsya, prèt nan lavil Betèl la, voye di Jewoboram, wa Izrayèl la: -Men Amòs ap moute konplo sou do ou nan mitan pèp Izrayèl la. Li soti pou l' fini ak peyi a ak pawòl l'ap di yo.
And Amaziah, the priest of Bethel, sent to Jeroboam king of Israel, saying: “Amos has rebelled against you in the midst of the house of Israel. The land is not able to withstand all his sermons.
11 Men sa l'ap mache di: Jewoboram gen pou l' mouri nan lagè. Y'ap pran moun Izrayèl yo lakay yo, y'ap depòte yo byen lwen nan peyi etranje.
For Amos says this: ‘Jeroboam will die by the sword, and Israel will be taken captive out of their own land.’”
12 Apre sa, Amatsya pale ak Amòs, li di l' konsa: -Divinò, al fè wout ou. Ale vit nan peyi Jida a! Al bay mesaj ou yo laba. Y'a peye ou pou sa!
And Amaziah said to Amos, “You, seer, go out and flee into the land of Judah, and eat bread there, and prophesy there.
13 Men isit la, lavil Betèl, pito ou sispann bay mesaj ou yo si ou konn bout! Paske, se isit la wa a vin adore. Se yon tanp nasyonal pou tout peyi a.
And in Bethel, do not prophesy any longer, because it is the king’s sanctuary, and it is the house of the kingdom.”
14 Amòs reponn Amatsya: -Monchè, pwofèt pa metye m'. Nitou, mwen pa fè pati sosyete moun k'ap fè metye pwofèt. Metye m' se gade bèt, se okipe pye sikomò.
And Amos responded, and he said to Amasias, “I am not a prophet, and I am not the son of a prophet, but I am a herdsman plucking from wild fig trees.
15 Men, Seyè a pran m' nan pye travay mwen, dèyè bèt mwen yo, li ban m' lòd pou m' al fè pèp Izrayèl la konnen mesaj li voye ba yo.
And the Lord took me, when I was following the flock, and the Lord said to me, ‘Go, prophesy to my people Israel.’”
16 Koulye a menm, koute pawòl Seyè a voye di ou: Ou menm w'ap mande m' pou m' pa bay ankenn mesaj sou pèp Izrayèl la, pou m' sispann pale sou pitit Izarak yo.
And now, hear the word of the Lord: You say, “You will not prophesy about Israel, and you will not rain your words upon the house of the idol.”
17 Poutèt sa, Amatsya, men sa Seyè a di: Madanm ou ap tounen jennès nan lavil la! Pitit gason ou yo ak pitit fi ou yo ap mouri nan lagè! Y'ap pran tè ou yo, y'ap separe yo moso pa moso. Ou menm, ou gen pou ou mouri nan yon peyi etranje kote yo pa sèvi Seyè a. Pèp Izrayèl la menm, y'ap pran l', y'ap depòte l' byen lwen peyi l'.
Because of that, the Lord says this: “Your wife will fornicate in the city, and your sons and your daughters will fall by the sword, and your soil will be measured with a string. And you will die on polluted land, and Israel will be taken into captivity out of their land.”
