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 herdmen of Tekoa, —of which (words) he had vision concerning Israel, in the days of Uzziah king of Judah, and in the days of Jeroboam 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.”
So then he said—Yahweh, out of Zion, will roar, and, out of Jerusalem, will utter his voice, —and the pastures of the shepherds, shall mourn, and the top of Carmel, be dried up.
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, saith Yahweh, Because of three transgressions of Damascus, and because of four, will I not turn it back, —Because, with threshing instruments of iron, they have threshed Gilead.
4 Pou sa, Mwen va voye dife sou kay Hazaël e li va devore sitadèl a Ben-Hadad yo.
Therefore will send a fire, into the house of Hazael, —which shall 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.
And I will break the bolt of Damascus, and cut off the inhabitant out of the plain of Aven, and the holder of the sceptre out of the house of Eden, —and the people of Syria, shall be exiled, unto Kir, saith Yahweh.
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, saith Yahweh, Because of three transgressions of Gaza, and because of four, will I not turn it back, —Because of their taking into exile the whole body of exiles, to deliver to Edom,
7 Pou sa, Mwen va voye dife sou miray Gaza a, epi li va devore sitadèl li yo nèt.
Therefore will I send a fire upon the wall of Gaza, —which shall devour the palaces thereof;
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.
And I will cut off the inhabitant out of Ashdod, and the holder of the sceptre out of Ashkelon, —and will turn my hand against Ekron, So shall perish the remnant of the Philistines, saith My Lord, Yahweh.
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, saith Yahweh, Because of three transgressions of Tyre, and because of four, will I not turn it back, —Because of their delivering up the whole body of exiles to Edom, and they remembered not the brotherly covenant,
10 Akoz sa, Mwen va voye dife sou miray Tyr la, e li va devore sitadèl li yo.”
Therefore will I send a fire upon the wall of Tyre, —which shall devour the palaces thereof.
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, saith Yahweh, Because of three transgressions of Edom, and because of four, will I not turn it back, —Because he pursued, with the sword, his brother, and stifled his compassions, and his anger tare in pieces evermore, and, his indignation, kept watch perpetually,
12 Pou sa, Mwen va voye dife sou Théman, e li va devore tout sitadèl Botsra yo.”
Therefore will I send a fire into Teman, —which shall 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, saith Yahweh, Because of three transgressions of the sons of Ammon, and because of four, will I not turn it back, —Because of their ripping up the pregnant women of Gilead, that they might enlarge their own boundary,
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.
Therefore will I kindle a fire upon the wall of Rabbah, which shall devour the palaces thereof, —with a war-cry in the day of battle, with tempest in the day of storm-wind;
15 Konsa, wa yo a va antre an egzil, li menm ansanm ak prens li yo,” di Senyè a.
And Milcom shall go into exile, —he and his rulers together, saith Yahweh.
