Amos 5
1 Gbọ́ ọ̀rọ̀ yìí, ìwọ ilé Israẹli, ìpohùnréré ẹkún tí mo ṣe nípa rẹ:
Heare ye this worde, which I lift vp vpon you, euen a lamentation of the house of Israel.
2 “Wúńdíá Israẹli ṣubú láì kò sì le padà dìde ó di ẹni ìkọ̀tì ní ilẹ̀ rẹ̀ kò sí ẹni tí yóò gbé e dìde.”
The virgine Israel is fallen, and shall no more rise: shee is left vpon her lande, and there is none to raise her vp.
3 Èyí ni ohun tí Olúwa Olódùmarè wí: “Ìlú tí ẹgbẹ̀rún alágbára ti jáde, yóò dín ku ọgọ́rùn-ún ní Israẹli. Ìlú tí ọgọ́rùn-ún alàgbà ti jáde yóò ṣẹ́kù ẹni mẹ́wàá.”
For thus saith ye Lord God, The citie which went out by a thousand, shall leaue an hundreth: and that which went forth by an hundreth, shall leaue ten to the house of Israel.
4 Èyí ni ohun tí Olúwa sọ fún ilé Israẹli: “Wá mi kí o sì yè;
For thus saith the Lord vnto the house of Israel, Seeke ye me, and ye shall liue.
5 ẹ má ṣe wá Beteli, ẹ má ṣe lọ sí Gilgali, ẹ má ṣe rìnrìn àjò lọ sí Beerṣeba. Nítorí dájúdájú a ó kó Gilgali ní ìgbèkùn, A ó sì sọ Beteli di asán.”
But seeke not Beth-el, nor enter into Gilgal, and go not to Beer-sheba: for Gilgal shall goe into captiuitie, and Beth-el shall come to nought.
6 Ẹ wá Olúwa, ẹ̀yin yóò sì yè, kí ó má ba à gbilẹ̀ bí iná ní Josẹfu a sì jó o run Beteli kò sì ní rí ẹni tí yóò bu omi pa á.
Seeke the Lord, and yee shall liue, least he breake out like fire in the house of Ioseph and deuoure it, and there be none to quench it in Beth-el.
7 Ẹ̀yin tí ẹ̀ sọ òdodo di ìkorò tí ẹ sì gbé olódodo ṣánlẹ̀.
They turne iudgement to wormewood, and leaue off righteousnes in the earth.
8 Ẹni tí ó dá ìràwọ̀ Pleiadesi àti Orioni ẹni tí ó sọ òru dúdú di òwúrọ̀ tí ó sọ ọjọ́ dúdú di ìmọ́lẹ̀ ẹni tí ó wọ́ omi Òkun jọ pọ̀ tí ó sì rọ̀ wọ́n sí orí ilẹ̀ Olúwa ni orúkọ rẹ̀,
He maketh Pleiades, and Orion, and he turneth the shadowe of death into the morning, and he maketh the day darke as night: he calleth the waters of the sea, and powreth them out vpon the open earth: the Lord is his Name.
9 Ó fọ́n ìparun sí ìlú olódi tí ó sì sọ àwọn ibùgbé àwọn ọmọ-aládé di ahoro.
He strengtheneth the destroyer against the mightie: and the destroyer shall come against the fortresse.
10 Ìwọ kórìíra ẹni tí ń bá ni wí ní ẹnu ibodè ó sì ń pẹ̀gàn ẹni tí ń sọ òtítọ́.
They haue hated him, that rebuked in the gate: and they abhorred him that speaketh vprightly.
11 Ìwọ ń tẹ tálákà mọ́lẹ̀ o ń fi ipá gba ọkà lọ́wọ́ wọn. Nítorí náà, ìwọ ti fi òkúta tí a gbẹ́ kọ́lé ṣùgbọ́n ẹ kò sì ní gbé inú wọn, Nítòótọ́ ìwọ ti gbin ọgbà àjàrà tí ó lẹ́wà. Ìwọ kò ní mu wáìnì inú wọn.
Forasmuch then as your treading is vpon the poore, and yee take from him burdens of wheate, ye haue built houses of hewen stone, but ye shall not dwel in them: ye haue plated pleasant vineyards, but ye shall not drinke wine of them.
12 Nítorí mo mọ iye àìṣedéédéé rẹ mo sì mọ bí ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ rẹ tí tóbi tó. Ìwọ ni olódodo lára, ìwọ sì ń gba àbẹ̀tẹ́lẹ̀ o sì ń fi òtítọ́ du tálákà ní ilé ẹjọ́.
For I know your manifold transgressions, and your mightie sinnes: they afflict the iust, they take rewards, and they oppresse the poore in ye gate.
13 Àwọn ọlọ́gbọ́n máa ń dákẹ́ jẹ́ẹ́ ní àkókò wọ̀nyí, nítorí búburú ni gbogbo ọjọ́.
Therefore the prudent shall keepe silence in that time, for it is an euill time.
14 Wá rere, má ṣe wá búburú kí ìwọ ba à le yè. Nígbà náà ni Olúwa Ọlọ́run àwọn ọmọ-ogun yóò wà pẹ̀lú rẹ. Òun yóò sì wà pẹ̀lú rẹ bí ìwọ ṣe wí.
Seeke good and not euil, that ye may liue: and the Lord God of hostes shalbe with you, as you haue spoken.
15 Kórìíra búburú kí o sì fẹ́ rere dúró ní orí òtítọ́ ní ilé ẹjọ́ bóyá Olúwa Ọlọ́run alágbára yóò síjú àánú wo ọmọ Josẹfu tó ṣẹ́kù.
Hate the euil, and loue the good, and establish iudgement in the gate: it may bee that the Lord God of hostes will be mercifull vnto the remnant of Ioseph.
16 Nítorí èyí ni ohun tí Olúwa, Olúwa Ọlọ́run àwọn ọmọ-ogun wí: “Ẹkún yóò wà ní àwọn òpópónà igbe ìnira yóò sì wà ní àwọn gbàgede ìlú. A ó kó àwọn àgbẹ̀ jọ láti sọkún àti àwọn tí ń ṣọ̀fọ̀ láti pohùnréré ẹkún.
Therfore the Lord God of hosts, the Lord saith thus, Mourning shalbe in all streetes: and they shall say in al the hie wayes, Alas, alas: and they shall call the husbandman to lamentation, and such as can mourne, to mourning.
17 Ìpohùnréré ẹkún yóò wà ní gbogbo ọgbà àjàrà, nítorí èmi yóò la àárín yín kọjá,” ni Olúwa wí.
And in al the vines shalbe lamentation: for I wil passe through thee, saith the Lord.
18 Ègbé ni fún ìwọ tí ó pẹ́ nítorí ọjọ́ Olúwa kí ni ìwọ fi pẹ́ fún ọjọ́ Olúwa? Ìmọ́lẹ̀ yóò di òkùnkùn ní ojú ọjọ́.
Woe vnto you, that desire the day of the Lord: what haue you to do with it? the day of the Lord is darkenes and not light.
19 Gẹ́gẹ́ bí ènìyàn tí ó sá fún kìnnìún, tí ó padà wá bọ́ sí ẹnu àmọ̀tẹ́kùn. Yóò dàbí ẹni tí ó wọ ilé rẹ̀ lọ tí ó sinmi lé ògiri ilé rẹ̀ tí ejò sì bù ú ṣán.
As if a man did flee from a lyon, and a beare met him: or went into the house, and leaned his hand on the wall, and a serpent bit him.
20 Ǹjẹ́ ọjọ́ Olúwa kò ha ní ṣókùnkùn dípò kí ó ní ìmọ́lẹ̀? Tí yóò sì ṣókùnkùn dúdú láìsí ìmọ́lẹ̀ kankan níbẹ̀.
Shal not the day of the Lord be darkenes, and not light? euen darkenes and no light in it?
21 “Mo kórìíra, mo kẹ́gàn àwọn àsè ẹ̀sìn in yín, Èmi kò sì ní inú dídùn sí àpéjọ yín.
I hate and abhorre your feast dayes, and I wil not smelll in your solemne assemblies.
22 Bí ó tilẹ̀ jẹ́ pé ẹ mú ẹbọ sísun àti ọrẹ ọkà wá. Èmi kò ní tẹ́wọ́ gbà wọ́n. Bí ó tilẹ̀ jẹ́ pé ẹ mú àṣàyàn ọrẹ àlàáfíà wá. Èmi kò ní náání wọn.
Though ye offer me burnt offrings and meat offrings, I wil not accept them: neither will I regard the peace offrings of your fat beasts.
23 Ẹ gbé ariwo orin yín sẹ́yìn! Èmi kò ní fetísí ohun èlò orin yín.
Take thou away from me the multitude of thy songs (for I wil not heare the melodie of thy violes)
24 Jẹ́ kí òtítọ́ sàn bí odò àti òdodo bí ìsun tí kò lé è gbẹ!
And let iudgement runne downe as waters, and righteousnesse as a mightie riuer.
25 “Àbí ẹ̀yin mú ẹbọ àti ọrẹ tọ̀ mí wá ní ogójì ọdún ní aginjù ìwọ ilé Israẹli?
Haue ye offered vnto me sacrifices and offrings in the wildernesse fourtie yeeres, O house of Israel?
26 Ẹ̀yin ti gbé ibi ìrúbọ àwọn ọba yín sókè, ibùgbé àwọn òrìṣà yín, àní, ti àwọn òrìṣà yín tí ó níyì jùlọ, èyí tí ẹ̀yin fi ọwọ́ ara yín ṣe.
But you haue borne Siccuth your King, and Chiun your images, and the starre of your gods, which ye made to your selues.
27 Nítorí náà èmi yóò rán an yín lọ sí ìgbèkùn ní ìkọjá Damasku,” ni Olúwa wí, ẹni tí orúkọ rẹ̀ ń jẹ́ Ọlọ́run alágbára.
Therefore wil I cause you to goe into captiuitie beyond Damascus, saith the Lord, whose Name is the God of hostes.
