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.
The words of Amos, who was among the herdsmen of Tekoa, which he saw concerning Israel in the days of Uzziah king of Judah, and in the days of Jeroboam the son of Joash king of Israel, two years before the earthquake.
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 will roar from Zion, and utter his voice from Jerusalem; and the pastures of the shepherds will mourn, and the top of Carmel will wither."
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.
Thus says the LORD: "For three transgressions of Damascus, yes, for four, I will not turn away its punishment; because they have threshed the pregnant women of Gilead with threshing instruments of iron;
4 Pou sa, Mwen va voye dife sou kay Hazaël e li va devore sitadèl a Ben-Hadad yo.
but I will send a fire into the house of Hazael, and it will devour the palaces 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 the bar of Damascus, and cut off the inhabitant from the Valley of Wickedness, and him who holds the scepter from Beth Eden; and the people of Aram shall go into captivity to Kir," says the LORD.
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.
Thus says the LORD: "For three transgressions of Gaza, yes, for four, I will not turn away its punishment; because they carried away captive the whole community, to deliver them up to Edom;
7 Pou sa, Mwen va voye dife sou miray Gaza a, epi li va devore sitadèl li yo nèt.
but I will send a fire on the wall of Gaza, and it will devour its palaces.
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 inhabitant from Ashdod, and him who holds the scepter from Ashkelon; and I will turn my hand against Ekron; and the remnant of the Philistines will perish," says the LORD.
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.
Thus says the LORD: "For three transgressions of Tyre, yes, for four, I will not turn away its punishment; because they delivered up the whole community to Edom, and did not remember the brotherly covenant;
10 Akoz sa, Mwen va voye dife sou miray Tyr la, e li va devore sitadèl li yo.”
but I will send a fire on the wall of Tyre, and it will devour its palaces."
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.
Thus says the LORD: "For three transgressions of Edom, yes, for four, I will not turn away its punishment; because he pursued his brother with the sword, and cast off all pity, and his anger raged continually, and he kept his wrath forever;
12 Pou sa, Mwen va voye dife sou Théman, e li va devore tout sitadèl Botsra yo.”
but I will send a fire on Teman, and it will devour the palaces 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.
Thus says the LORD: "For three transgressions of the people of Ammon, yes, for four, I will not turn away its punishment; because they have ripped open the pregnant women of Gilead, that they may enlarge their border.
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.
But I will kindle a fire in the wall of Rabbah, and it will devour its palaces, with shouting in the day of battle, with a storm in the day of the whirlwind;
15 Konsa, wa yo a va antre an egzil, li menm ansanm ak prens li yo,” di Senyè a.
and their king will go into captivity, he and his officials together," says the LORD.
