Amòs 8

1 Konsa Senyè BONDYE a te montre mwen, e gade byen, te gen yon panyen fwi gran sezon.

The Lord God schewide to me these thingis; and lo! an hook of applis.

2 Li te di: “Kisa ou wè, Amos?” Epi mwen te di: “Yon panyen fwi gran sezon.” Konsa, SENYÈ a te di mwen: “Lafen gen tan rive pou pèp Mwen an, Israël. Mwen p ap pwoteje yo ankò.

And the Lord seide, What seist thou, Amos? And Y seide, An hook of applis. And the Lord seide to me, The ende is comun on my puple Israel; Y schal no more putte to, that Y passe bi hym.

3 Kantik a tanp la va tounen chan lamantasyon nan jou sa a,” deklare Senyè BONDYE a. “Kadav yo va anpil. Nan chak andwa, yo va jete yo deyò an silans.

And the herris, ether twistis, of the temple schulen greetli sowne in that dai, seith the Lord God. Many men schulen die, silence schal be cast forth in ech place.

4 Tande sa, nou menm k ap vale malere yo nèt, pou mete fen a tout pòv yo,

Here ye this thing, whiche al to-breken a pore man, and maken nedi men of the lond for to faile;

5 ka p di: ‘Kilè nouvèl lin nan ap fini pou nou ka vann sereyal la? Ak Saba a pou nou ka ouvri mache ble a? N ap fè efa a pi piti, e sik la pi gwo. Anplis, n ap twonpe ak balans malonèt,

and ye seien, Whanne schal heruest passe, and we schulen sille marchaundises? and the sabat, and we schulen opene wheete? that we make lesse the mesure, and encreesse the cicle, and `vndur put gileful balauncis;

6 pou achte sila ki san sekou a pou lajan, ak malere a pou de grenn sapat. Menm balizaj ble a n ap vann!’”

that we welde bi siluer nedi men and pore men for schoon, and we sille outcastyngis of wheete?

7 SENYÈ a te sèmante pa glwa Jacob la: “Anverite, Mwen p ap janm bliye okenn nan zak yo.

The Lord swoor ayens the pride of Jacob, Y schal not foryete til to the ende alle the werkis of hem.

8 Akoz sa, èske peyi a p ap pran tranble, e tout moun ki rete ladann p ap fè lamantasyon? Anverite, tout peyi a va leve tankou Rivyè Nil la. Li va vin ajite toupatou e bese tankou Rivyè Égypte la.

Whether on this thing the erthe schal not be mouyd togidere, and eche dwellere therof schal mourene? And it schal stie vp as al the flood, and schal be cast out, and schal flete awei as the stronde of Egipt.

9 Li va vin rive nan jou sa a”, deklare Senyè BONDYE a, ke Mwen va fè solèy la desann a midi, e mwen va fè tè a nan fènwa nan plen jounen.

And it schal be, seith the Lord, in that dai the sunne schal go doun in myddai, and Y schal make the erthe for to be derk in the dai of liyt.

10 Answit, Mwen va fè fèt nou yo vin tounen dèy; tout chan lajwa nou yo va tounen lamantasyon. Mwen va fè nou pote twal sak sou senti a tout moun, ak tèt chòv sou tout tèt. Mwen va fè li tankou yon moman dèy pou yon sèl fis inik, e lafen li tankou yon jou anmè.

And Y schal conuerte youre feeste daies in to mourenyng, and alle youre songis in to weilyng; and Y schal brynge yn on ech bac of you a sak, and on ech heed of you ballidnesse; and Y schal put it as the mourenyng of oon bigetun sone, and the laste thingis therof as a bittir dai.

11 “Gade byen, jou yo ap vini,” deklare Senyè BONDYE a, “lè Mwen va voye gwo grangou sou peyi a, pa yon grangou pou pen oswa pou dlo, men pou koute pawòl SENYÈ a.

Lo! the daies comen, seith the Lord, and Y schal sende out hungur in to erthe; not hungur of breed, nether thirst of watir, but of herynge the word of God.

12 Pèp la va kilbite tou egare sòti nan yon lanmè pou rive nan lòt lanmè, e sòti nan nò pou rive menm nan lès; yo va gaye toupatou pou chache pawòl SENYÈ a, men yo p ap jwenn li.

And thei schulen be mouyd to gidere fro the see til to the see, and fro the north til to the eest thei schulen cumpasse, sekynge the word of the Lord, and thei schulen not fynde.

13 Nan jou sa a, bèl tifi vyèj yo ak jennonm yo va vin endispoze akoz swaf la.

In that dai faire maidens schulen faile, and yonge men in thirst, whiche sweren in trespas of Samarie,

14 Menm jan pou sila ki sèmante pa peche Samarie a, ki di: ‘Jan dye ou a vivan an, O Dan!’ e ‘Jan chemen Beer-Schéba vivan an’; yo va tonbe e yo p ap leve ankò.”

and seien, Dan, thi god lyueth, and the weie of Bersabee lyueth; and thei schulen falle, and thei schulen no more rise ayen.
