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 Lord YHWH has showed me, and behold, He is forming locusts at the beginning of the ascending of the latter growth, and behold, the latter growth [is] after the mowings of the king [[or 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 has come to pass, when it has finished to consume the herb of the land, that I say, “Lord YHWH, please forgive, How does Jacob arise—for he [is] small?”
3 SENYÈ a te repanti de sa. “Sa p ap rive,” SENYÈ a te di.
YHWH has relented of this, “It will not be,” said YHWH.
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 Lord YHWH showed me, and behold, Lord YHWH is calling to contend by the fire, and it consumes the great deep, indeed, it has consumed the portion, and I say,
5 Epi mwen te di: “Senyè, souple, sispann! Kòman Jacob ka kanpe? Li tèlman piti!”
“Lord YHWH, please cease, How does Jacob arise—for he [is] small?”
6 SENYÈ a te repanti de sa. “Sa a tou, p ap rive”, Senyè BONDYE a te di.
YHWH has relented of this, “It also will not be,” said Lord YHWH.
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 has He showed me, and behold, the Lord is standing by a wall [made according to] a plumb-line, and in His hand a plumb-line;
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 YHWH says to me, “What are you seeing, Amos?” And I say, “A plumb-line”; and the Lord says: “Behold, I am setting a plumb-line in the midst of My people Israel, I no longer pass over to it.
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 high places of Isaac have been desolated, And sanctuaries of Israel are dried up, And I have risen against the house of Jeroboam with a 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.
And Amaziah priest of Beth-El sends to Jeroboam king of Israel, saying, “Amos has conspired against you in the midst of the house of Israel; the land is not able 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 said Amos: Jeroboam dies by sword, And Israel certainly removes from off its land.”
12 Amatsia te di a Amos: “Ale, ou menm ki divinò, sove ale nan peyi Juda. Manje pen e pwofetize la!
And Amaziah says to Amos, “Seer, go, flee to the land of Judah for yourself, and eat bread there, and there you prophesy;
13 Men pa pwofetize nan Béthel, paske se sanktyè ak rezidans la a wa a!”
and no longer prophesy [at] Beth-El anymore, 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 answers and says to Amaziah, “I [am] no prophet, nor [am] I a prophet’s son, but I [am] a herdsman, and a cultivator of sycamores,
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 YHWH takes me from after the flock, and YHWH says to me, Go, 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 a word of YHWH: You are saying, Do not prophesy against Israel, nor drop [anything] against the house of Isaac,
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 said YHWH: Your wife goes whoring in the city, And your sons and your daughters fall by sword, And your land is apportioned by line, And you die on an unclean land, And Israel certainly removes from off its land.”
