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.
This is what the Lord Yahweh showed me. Look, he formed a locust swarm when the spring crop began to come up, and, look, it was the late crop after the king's harvest.
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!”
When they finished eating the vegetation of the land, then I said, “Lord Yahweh, please forgive; how will Jacob survive? For he is so small.”
3 SENYÈ a te repanti de sa. “Sa p ap rive,” SENYÈ a te di.
Yahweh relented concerning this. “It will not happen,” he said.
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.
This is what the Lord Yahweh showed me: Look, the Lord Yahweh called on fire to judge. It dried the vast, deep water under the earth and would have devoured the land, also.
5 Epi mwen te di: “Senyè, souple, sispann! Kòman Jacob ka kanpe? Li tèlman piti!”
But I said, “Lord Yahweh, please stop; how will Jacob survive? For he is so small.”
6 SENYÈ a te repanti de sa. “Sa a tou, p ap rive”, Senyè BONDYE a te di.
Yahweh relented concerning this, “This also will not happen,” said the Lord Yahweh.
7 Konsa Li te monte m, e gade byen, Senyè a te kanpe akote yon mi ki monte ak yon filaplon nan men L.
This is what he showed me: Look, the Lord stood beside a wall, with a plumb 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.
Yahweh said to me, “Amos, what do you see?” I said, “A plumb line.” Then the Lord said, “Look, I will put a plumb line among my people Israel. I will spare them no longer.
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.”
The high places of Isaac will be destroyed, the sanctuaries of Israel will be ruined, and I will rise 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 Amaziah, the priest of Bethel, sent a message to Jeroboam, king of Israel: “Amos has conspired against you in the middle of the house of Israel. The land cannot 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 this is what Amos said, 'Jeroboam will die by the sword, and Israel will surely go into exile away from his land.'”
12 Amatsia te di a Amos: “Ale, ou menm ki divinò, sove ale nan peyi Juda. Manje pen e pwofetize la!
Amaziah said to Amos, “Seer, go, run back to the land of Judah, and there eat bread and prophesy.
13 Men pa pwofetize nan Béthel, paske se sanktyè ak rezidans la a wa a!”
But do not prophesy anymore here at Bethel, for it is the king's sanctuary and a 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.
Then Amos said to Amaziah, “I am not a prophet nor a prophet's son. I am a herdsman, and I take care of sycamore fig trees.
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.’
But Yahweh took me from tending the flock and said 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.’
Now hear the word of Yahweh. You say, 'Do not prophesy against Israel, and do not speak 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 this is what Yahweh says, 'Your wife will be a prostitute in the city; your sons and your daughters will fall by the sword; your land will be measured and divided up; you will die in an unclean land, and Israel will surely go into exile from his land.'”
