Amòs 7

1 Konsa Senyè BONDYE a te montre m e gade byen, Li t ap fòme yon gwo rafal krikèt nan lè jaden prentan an te kòmanse boujonnen an. Epi gade byen, rekòlt la te fèt nan lè wa a te fin koupe zèb la.

Thus hath the Lord God shewed vnto mee, and beholde, he formed grashoppers in the beginning of ye shooting vp of the latter grouth: and loe, it was in the latter grouth after the Kings mowing.

2 Epi li te vin rive lè li te fin manje tout plant peyi a, ke m te di: “Senyè BONDYE, souple, padone! Kòman Jacob ka kanpe? Li tèlman piti!”

And when they had made an ende of eating the grasse of the land, then I saide, O Lord God, spare, I beseeche thee: who shall raise vp Iaakob? for he is small.

3 SENYÈ a te repanti de sa. “Sa p ap rive,” SENYÈ a te di.

So the Lord repented for this. It shall not be, saith the Lord.

4 Konsa Senyè BONDYE a te montre mwen, e gade byen, Senyè BONDYE a t ap rele pou jijman an ak dife a. Li te devore tout gwo pwofondè a, e te kòmanse devore tèren nan.

Thus also hath the Lord God shewed vnto me, and behold, the Lord God called to iudgement by fire, and it deuoured the great deepe, and did eate vp a part.

5 Epi mwen te di: “Senyè, souple, sispann! Kòman Jacob ka kanpe? Li tèlman piti!”

Then said I, O Lord God, cease, I beseeche thee: who shall raise vp Iaakob? for he is small.

6 SENYÈ a te repanti de sa. “Sa a tou, p ap rive”, Senyè BONDYE a te di.

So the Lord repented for this. This also shall not be, saith the Lord God.

7 Konsa Li te monte m, e gade byen, Senyè a te kanpe akote yon mi ki monte ak yon filaplon nan men L.

Thus againe he shewed me, and behold, the Lord stoode vpon a wall made by line with a line in his hand.

8 SENYÈ a te di m: “Se kisa ou wè, Amos?” Mwen te di: “Yon filaplon.” Konsa, Senyè a te di: “Gade byen, Mwen prèt pou plase yon filaplon nan mitan pèp Mwen an, Israël. Mwen p ap kite yo chape ankò.

And the Lord saide vnto me, Amos, what seest thou? And I said, A line. Then said the Lord, Beholde, I wil set a line in the middes of my people Israel, and wil passe by them no more.

9 Wo plas Isaac yo va vin abandone, e sanktyè Israël yo va vin kraze nèt. Answit, Mwen va leve kont lakay Jéroboam ak nepe.”

And the hye places of Izhak shalbe desolate, and the temples of Israel shalbe destroyed: and I wil rise against the house of Ieroboam with the sworde.

10 Konsa, Amatsia, prèt Béthel la te voye pawòl kote Jéroboam, wa Israël la. Li te di: “Amos te fè konplo kont ou nan mitan kay Israël la. Peyi a p ap ka sipòte tout pawòl li yo.

Then Amaziah the Priest of Beth-el sent to Ieroboam King of Israel, saying, Amos hath conspired against thee in the middes of the house of Israel: the lande is not able to beare all his wordes.

11 Paske konsa Amos di: ‘Jéroboam va mouri pa nepe a, e Israël va anverite kite peyi li pou ale an egzil.’”

For thus Amos saith, Ieroboam shall die by the sworde, and Israel shalbe led away captiue out of their owne land.

12 Amatsia te di a Amos: “Ale, ou menm ki divinò, sove ale nan peyi Juda. Manje pen e pwofetize la!

Also Amaziah sayde vnto Amos, O thou the Seer, goe, flee thou away into the land of Iudah, and there eate thy bread and prophecie there.

13 Men pa pwofetize nan Béthel, paske se sanktyè ak rezidans la a wa a!”

But prophecie no more at Beth-el: for it is the Kings chappel, and it is the Kings court.

14 Konsa, Amos te reponn a Amatsia: “Mwen pa t yon pwofèt, ni mwen pa t fis a yon pwofèt; men mwen te yon gadyen bèt ak yon kiltivatè pye fig frans.

Then answered Amos, and said to Amaziah, I was no Prophet, neither was I a prophets sonne, but I was an herdman, and a gatherer of wilde figs.

15 Men SENYÈ a te retire mwen soti dèyè bann mouton an, e SENYÈ a te di mwen: ‘Ale pwofetize a pèp Mwen an, Israël.’

And the Lord tooke me as I followed the flocke, and the Lord said vnto me, Go, prophecie vnto my people Israel.

16 Konsa, tande pawòl SENYÈ a: “W ap di: ‘Ou pa pou pwofetize kont Israël, ni ou pa pou pale kont lakay Isaac.’

Now therefore heare thou the word of the Lord. Thou sayest, Prophecie not against Israel, and speake nothing against the house of Izhak.

17 Akoz sa, SENYÈ a di: ‘Madanm ou va devni yon pwostitiye nan vil la, fis ou yo ak fi ou yo va tonbe pa nepe, peyi ou a va divize ak yon lign apantaj, e ou menm, ou va mouri nan yon peyi ki pa pwòp. Anplis, Israël va anverite kite peyi li a pou li ale an egzil.’”

Therefore thus sayth the Lord, Thy wife shall be an harlot in the citie, and thy sonnes and thy daughters shall fall by the sword, and thy land shall be deuided by line: and thou shalt die in a polluted land, and Israel shall surely go into captiuitie forth of his land.
