Amosi 1
1 Maloba ya Amosi, moko kati na babateli bibwele ya mboka Tekoa. Azwaki emoniseli ya maloba oyo na tina na mokili ya Isalaele, mibu mibale liboso ete koningana ya mabele esalema, tango Oziasi azalaki mokonzi ya Yuda, mpe Jeroboami, mwana mobali ya Joasi, azalaki mokonzi ya Isalaele.
The words of Amos, who was among the herdmen of Tekoa, which he saw concerning Israel in the days of Uzziah king of Judah, and in the days of Jeroboam the son of Joash king of Israel, two years before the earthquake.
2 Alobaki: Yawe azali koganga wuta na Siona, mpe azali koloba wuta na Yelusalemi, na mongongo makasi lokola kake. Matiti ya bitando epai wapi babateli bibwele baleisaka bibwele ekokawuka, mpe songe ya ngomba Karimeli ekokawuka.
And he said, The LORD will roar from Zion, and utter his voice from Jerusalem; and the habitations of the shepherds shall mourn, and the top of Carmel shall wither.
3 Tala liloba oyo Yawe alobi: « Likolo ya masumu misato to minei ya Damasi, nakozanga te kopesa bango etumbu, pamba te bakataki-kataki bato ya Galadi na nzela ya bibende oyo etimolaka mabele mpo na kosala bilanga.
Thus saith the LORD; For three transgressions of Damascus, and for four, I will not turn away its [punishment]; because they have threshed Gilead with threshing instruments of iron:
4 Nakotia moto na ndako ya mokonzi Azaeli, mpe moto yango ekozikisa bandako ya mokonzi Beni-Adadi, oyo batonga makasi.
But I will send a fire into the house of Hazael, which shall devour the palaces of Ben-hadad.
5 Nakobuka ekuke ya Damasi, nakobebisa mokonzi ya bavandi ya Lubwaku ya Beti-Aveni, mpe oyo azali kokonza na Beti-Edeni; mpe bato ya Siri bakokende na bowumbu na Kiri, » elobi Yawe.
I will break also the bar of Damascus, and cut off the inhabitant from the plain of Aven, and him that holdeth the scepter from the house of Eden: and the people of Syria shall go into captivity to Kir, saith the LORD.
6 Tala liloba oyo Yawe alobi: « Likolo ya masumu misato to minei ya Gaza, nakozanga te kopesa bango etumbu, pamba te bamemaki bikolo ebele na bowumbu mpe batekaki bango na Edomi.
Thus saith the LORD; For three transgressions of Gaza, and for four, I will not turn away its [punishment]: because they carried away captive the whole captivity, to deliver [them] up to Edom:
7 Nakotia moto na bamir ya Gaza, mpe moto yango ekozikisa bandako na yango, oyo batonga makasi.
But I will send a fire on the wall of Gaza, which shall devour its palaces:
8 Nakoboma mokonzi ya bavandi ya Asidodi mpe oyo azali kokonza na Ashikeloni. Nakobalukela engumba Ekroni kino tango moto ya suka kati na bato ya Filisitia akokufa, » elobi Nkolo Yawe.
And I will cut off the inhabitant from Ashdod, and him that holdeth the scepter from Ashkelon, and I will turn my hand against Ekron: and the remnant of the Philistines shall perish, saith the Lord GOD.
9 Tala liloba oyo Yawe alobi: « Likolo ya masumu misato to minei ya Tiri, nakozanga te kopesa bango etumbu, pamba te bakabaki bato ebele na bowumbu epai ya bato ya Edomi mpe batosaki te boyokani ya bondeko.
Thus saith the LORD; For three transgressions of Tyre, and for four, I will not turn away its [punishment]: because they delivered up the whole captivity to Edom, and remembered not the brotherly covenant:
10 Nakotia moto na bamir ya engumba Tiri, mpe moto yango ekozikisa bandako na yango, oyo batonga makasi. »
But I will send a fire on the wall of Tyre, which shall devour its palaces:
11 Tala liloba oyo Yawe alobi: « Likolo ya masumu misato to minei ya Edomi, nakozanga te kopesa bango etumbu, pamba te balandaki bandeko na bango na mopanga, bayokelaki bango mawa te, kanda na bango ezalaki tango nyonso komata, mpe bayina bango wuta kala.
Thus saith the LORD; For three transgressions of Edom, and for four, I will not turn away its [punishment]: because he pursued his brother with the sword, and cast off all pity, and his anger did tear perpetually, and [he] kept his wrath for ever:
12 Nakotia moto na engumba Temani, mpe moto yango ekozikisa bandako ya Botsira, oyo batonga makasi. »
But I will send a fire upon Teman, which shall devour the palaces of Bozrah.
13 Tala liloba oyo Yawe alobi: « Likolo ya masumu misato to minei ya Amoni, nakozanga te kopesa bango etumbu, pamba te bapasolaki mabumu ya basi ya zemi ya Galadi mpo na koyeisa mokili na bango monene.
Thus saith the LORD; For three transgressions of the children of Ammon, and for four, I will not turn away [their punishment]: because they have ripped up the women with child of Gilead, that they might enlarge their border:
14 Nakotia moto na bamir ya engumba ya Raba, mpe moto yango ekozikisa bandako na yango, oyo batonga makasi, kati na koganga na mokolo ya bitumba, kati na mopepe makasi na mokolo ya ekumbaki.
But I will kindle a fire in the wall of Rabbah, and it shall devour its palaces, with shouting in the day of battle, with a tempest in the day of the whirlwind:
15 Mokonzi na bango akokende na bowumbu, ye elongo na bakalaka na ye, » elobi Yawe.
And their king shall go into captivity, he and his princes together, saith the LORD.
