Amos 5
1 Gbọ́ ọ̀rọ̀ yìí, ìwọ ilé Israẹli, ìpohùnréré ẹkún tí mo ṣe nípa rẹ:
Hear ye this word which I take up against you, [even] a lamentation, O 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 virgin of Israel is fallen; she shall no more rise! she is forsaken upon her land; [there is] none to raise her up.
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 the Lord GOD; The city that went out [by] a thousand shall leave a hundred, and that which went forth [by] a hundred shall leave 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 to the house of Israel, Seek ye me, and ye shall live:
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 seek not Beth-el, nor enter into Gilgal, and pass not to Beer-sheba: for Gilgal shall surely go into captivity, and Beth-el shall come to naught.
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.
Seek the LORD, and ye shall live; lest he break out like fire in the house of Joseph, and devour [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.
Ye who turn judgment to wormwood, and leave off righteousness on 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,
[Seek him] that maketh the seven stars and Orion, and turneth the shades of death into the morning, and maketh the day dark with night: that calleth for the waters of the sea, and poureth them out upon the face of the earth: JEHOVAH [is] his name:
9 Ó fọ́n ìparun sí ìlú olódi tí ó sì sọ àwọn ibùgbé àwọn ọmọ-aládé di ahoro.
That strengtheneth the spoiled against the strong, so that the spoiled shall come against the fortress.
10 Ìwọ kórìíra ẹni tí ń bá ni wí ní ẹnu ibodè ó sì ń pẹ̀gàn ẹni tí ń sọ òtítọ́.
They hate him that rebuketh in the gate, and they abhor him that speaketh uprightly.
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 therefore as your treading [is] upon the poor, and ye take from him burdens of wheat: ye have built houses of hewn stone, but ye shall not dwell in them; ye have planted pleasant vineyards, but ye shall not drink 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 mighty sins: they afflict the just, they take a bribe, and they turn aside the poor in the gate [from their right].
13 Àwọn ọlọ́gbọ́n máa ń dákẹ́ jẹ́ẹ́ ní àkókò wọ̀nyí, nítorí búburú ni gbogbo ọjọ́.
Therefore the prudent shall keep silence in that time; for it [is] an evil 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.
Seek good, and not evil, that ye may live: and so the LORD, the God of hosts, shall be with you, as ye have 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 evil, and love the good, and establish judgment in the gate: it may be that the LORD God of hosts will be gracious to the remnant of Joseph.
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.
Therefore the LORD, the God of hosts, the Lord, saith thus; Wailing [shall be] in all streets; and they shall say in all the highways, Alas! alas! and they shall call the husbandman to mourning, and such as are skillful in lamentation to wailing.
17 Ìpohùnréré ẹkún yóò wà ní gbogbo ọgbà àjàrà, nítorí èmi yóò la àárín yín kọjá,” ni Olúwa wí.
And in all vineyards [shall be] wailing: for I will pass 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 to you that desire the day of the LORD! to what end [is] it for you? the day of the LORD [is] darkness, 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 fled from a lion, and a bear 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.
[Shall] not the day of the LORD [be] darkness, and not light? even very dark, and no brightness in it?
21 “Mo kórìíra, mo kẹ́gàn àwọn àsè ẹ̀sìn in yín, Èmi kò sì ní inú dídùn sí àpéjọ yín.
I hate, I despise your feast days, and I will not smell in your solemn 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-offerings and your meat-offerings, I will not accept [them]; neither will I regard the peace-offerings 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 noise of thy songs; for I will not hear the melody of thy viols.
24 Jẹ́ kí òtítọ́ sàn bí odò àti òdodo bí ìsun tí kò lé è gbẹ!
But let judgment run down as waters, and righteousness as a mighty stream.
25 “Àbí ẹ̀yin mú ẹbọ àti ọrẹ tọ̀ mí wá ní ogójì ọdún ní aginjù ìwọ ilé Israẹli?
Have ye offered to me sacrifices and offerings in the wilderness forty years, 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 ye have borne the tabernacle of your Moloch and Chiun your images, the star of your god, which ye made to yourselves.
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 I will cause you to go into captivity beyond Damascus, saith the LORD, whose name [is] The God of hosts.
