< Amòs 1 >
1 Pawòl a Amos, ki te pami bèje mouton Tekoa yo, de sa li te wè nan vizyon konsènan Israël nan jou a Ozias, wa Juda a, e nan jou a Jéroboam, fis a Joas la, wa Israël la, dezan avan tranbleman tè an.
These are the words of Amos, who was among the sheepherders of Tekoa—what he saw concerning Israel two years before the earthquake, in the days when Uzziah was king of Judah and Jeroboam son of Jehoash was king of Israel.
2 Li te di: “SENYÈ a va gwonde soti nan Sion. Li va fè son vwa Li soti Jérusalem; epi patiraj a bèje yo va fè dèy, e anwo tèt Carmel va vin seche nèt.”
He said: “The LORD roars from Zion and raises His voice from Jerusalem; the pastures of the shepherds mourn, and the summit of Carmel withers.”
3 Konsa pale SENYÈ a: “Akoz de twa transgresyon a Damas yo, menm kat, mwen p ap retire pinisyon li; akoz yo te bat Galaad ak zouti an fè yo.
This is what the LORD says: “For three transgressions of Damascus, even four, I will not revoke My judgment, because they threshed Gilead with sledges of iron.
4 Pou sa, Mwen va voye dife sou kay Hazaël e li va devore sitadèl a Ben-Hadad yo.
So I will send fire upon the house of Hazael to consume the citadels of Ben-hadad.
5 Anplis, Mwen va kase baryè an fè Damas la; Mwen va koupe retire sila ki rete nan vale Bikath-Aven nan, ak sila ki kenbe baton wayal la soti Beth-Éden; epi pèp Syrie a va ale an egzil an Kir,” di SENYÈ a.
I will break down the gates of Damascus; I will cut off the ruler of the Valley of Aven and the one who wields the scepter in Beth-eden. The people of Aram will be exiled to Kir,”
6 Konsa pale SENYÈ a: “Akoz de twa transgresyon Gaza yo, menm kat, mwen p ap retire pinisyon an, akoz yo te depòte tout pèp la, pou livre yo bay Édom.
This is what the LORD says: “For three transgressions of Gaza, even four, I will not revoke My judgment, because they exiled a whole population, delivering them up to Edom.
7 Pou sa, Mwen va voye dife sou miray Gaza a, epi li va devore sitadèl li yo nèt.
So I will send fire upon the walls of Gaza, to consume its citadels.
8 Anplis, Mwen va koupe retire sila ki rete Asdod yo, ak sila ki kenbe baton wayal la nan Askalon. Mwen va tounen men mwen kont Ékron, epi retay a Filisten yo va peri,” di Senyè BONDYE a.
I will cut off the ruler of Ashdod and the one who wields the scepter in Ashkelon. I will turn My hand against Ekron, and the remnant of the Philistines will perish,”
9 Konsa pale SENYÈ a: “Akoz de twa transgresyon Tyr yo, menm kat, mwen p ap retire pinisyon an, akoz yo te livre tout pèp la nèt bay Édom, e yo pa t sonje akò fratènèl la.
This is what the LORD says: “For three transgressions of Tyre, even four, I will not revoke My judgment, because they delivered up a whole congregation of exiles to Edom and broke a covenant of brotherhood.
10 Akoz sa, Mwen va voye dife sou miray Tyr la, e li va devore sitadèl li yo.”
So I will send fire upon the walls of Tyre to consume its citadels.”
11 Konsa pale SENYÈ a: “Akoz de twa transgresyon Édom yo, menm kat; Mwen p ap retire pinisyon an, akoz li te kouri dèyè frè l ak nepe e te refize gen pitye. Mekontantman li te dechire tout tan, e li te kenbe kòlè li jis pou tout tan.
This is what the LORD says: “For three transgressions of Edom, even four, I will not revoke My judgment, because he pursued his brother with the sword and stifled all compassion; his anger raged continually, and his fury flamed incessantly.
12 Pou sa, Mwen va voye dife sou Théman, e li va devore tout sitadèl Botsra yo.”
So I will send fire upon Teman to consume the citadels of Bozrah.”
13 Konsa pale SENYÈ a: “Akoz de twa transgresyon a fis a Ammon yo, menm kat; Mwen p ap retire pinisyon an, akoz yo te chire vant fanm ansent Galaad yo pou agrandi lizyè yo.
This is what the LORD says: “For three transgressions of the Ammonites, even four, I will not revoke My judgment, because they ripped open the pregnant women of Gilead in order to enlarge their territory.
14 Pou sa, Mwen va sanble yon dife sou miray Rabba a. Li va devore sitadèl li yo nèt, nan mitan gwo kri lagè nan jou batay la, nan mitan siklòn nan jou tanpèt la.
So I will kindle a fire in the walls of Rabbah to consume its citadels amid war cries on the day of battle and a violent wind on the day of tempest.
15 Konsa, wa yo a va antre an egzil, li menm ansanm ak prens li yo,” di Senyè a.
Their king will go into exile — he and his princes together,”
