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 has the Lord God showed me; and, behold, a swarm of locusts coming from the east; and, behold, one caterpillar, king Gog.

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 it came to pass when he had finished devouring the grass of the land, that I said, Lord God, be merciful; who shall raise up Jacob? for he is small in number.

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

Repent, O Lord, for this. And this shall not be, says 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 has the Lord showed me; and, behold, the Lord called for judgment by fire, and it devoured the great deep, and devoured the Lord's portion.

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

Then I said, O Lord, cease, I pray you: who shall raise up Jacob? for he is small in number. Repent, O Lord, for this.

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

This also shall not be, says the Lord.

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 the Lord showed me; and behold, he stood upon a wall of adamant, and in his hand [was] an adamant.

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 said to me, What see you, Amos? And I said, An adamant. And the Lord said to me, Behold, I appoint an adamant in the midst of my people Israel: I will not pass by them any 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 joyful altars shall be abolished, and the sacrifices of Israel shall be set aside; and I will rise up against the house of Jeroboam with the sword.

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 Amasias the priest of Bethel sent to Jeroboam king of Israel, saying, Amos is forming conspiracies against you in the midst of the house of Israel: the land will be utterly unable to bear all his words.

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

For thus says Amos, Jeroboam shall die by the sword, and Israel shall be led away captive from his land.

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

And Amasias said to Amos, Go, seer, remove you into the land of Juda, and live there, and you shall prophesy there:

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

but you shall no longer prophesy at Bethel: for it is the king's sanctuary, and it is the royal house.

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.

And Amos answered, and said to Amasias, I was not a prophet, nor the son of a prophet; but I was a herdman, and a gatherer of sycamore fruits.

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 took me from the sheep, and the Lord said to me, Go, and prophesy to 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.’

And now hear the word of the Lord: You say, Prophesy not to Israel, and raise not a tumult against the house of Jacob.

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 says the Lord; Your wife shall be a harlot in the city, and your sons and your daughters shall fall by the sword, and your land shall be measured with the line; and you shall die in an unclean land; and Israel shall be led captive out of his land. Thus has the Lord God showed me.
