< Amos 6 >

1 Ègbé ni fún ẹ̀yin tí ará rọ̀ ní Sioni àti ẹ̀yin tí ẹ wà ní abẹ́ ààbò ní òkè Samaria àti ẹ̀yin olókìkí orílẹ̀-èdè tí ẹ̀yin ènìyàn Israẹli máa ń tọ̀ ọ́ wá.
Woe to those that are free from care in Zion, and that are in safety on the mount of Samaria, who are named the chief of the nations, to whom the house of Israel come!
2 Ẹ lọ Kalne kí ẹ lọ wò ó kí ẹ sí tí ibẹ̀ lọ sí Hamati ìlú ńlá a nì. Kí ẹ sì tún sọ̀kalẹ̀ lọ Gati ní ilẹ̀ Filistini. Ǹjẹ́ wọ́n ha dára ju ìpínlẹ̀ yín méjèèjì lọ? Ǹjẹ́ a ha rí ilẹ̀ tó tóbi ju tiyín lọ bí?
Pass ye over unto Calneh, and see; and go from there to Chamath-rabbah; then go down to Gath of the Philistines: whether they be better than these kingdoms? or whether their territory be greater than your territory?
3 Ẹ̀yin sún ọjọ́ ibi síwájú, ẹ sì mú ìjọba òǹrorò súnmọ́ tòsí.
[Ye] that deem far away the evil day, and cause the seat of violence to come near;
4 Ẹ̀yin sùn lé ibùsùn tí a fi eyín erin ṣe ẹ sì tẹ́ ara sílẹ̀ ni orí àwọn ibùsùn ẹyin pa èyí tí o dára nínú àwọn ọ̀dọ́-àgùntàn yín jẹ ẹ sì ń pa àwọn ọ̀dọ́ màlúù láàrín agbo wọn jẹ.
That lie upon beds of ivory, and are stretched out upon their couches, and eat lambs out of the flock, and calves out of the midst of the stall;
5 Ẹ̀yin ń lo ohun èlò orin bí i Dafidi ẹ sì ń ṣe àwọn àpilẹ̀rọ àwọn ohun èlò orin.
That chant to the sound of the psaltery, and like David's do they imagine their instrument of music to be;
6 Ẹ̀yin mu wáìnì ẹ̀kún ọpọ́n kan àti ìkunra tí o dára jùlọ ṣùgbọ́n ẹ̀yin kò káàánú ilé Josẹfu tí ó di ahoro.
That drink out of wine-bowls, and anoint themselves with the costliest of ointments; but who feel no pain for the wound of Joseph.
7 Nítorí náà, àwọn ni yóò lọ sí ìgbèkùn pẹ̀lú àwọn tí ó ti kó lọ sí ìgbèkùn àsè àwọn tí ń ṣe àṣelékè ni a ó mú kúrò.
Therefore now shall they go into exile at the head of exiles, and the noisy banquet of those that were stretched out shall pass away.
8 Olúwa Olódùmarè ti búra fúnra rẹ̀, Olúwa Ọlọ́run àwọn ọmọ-ogun sì ti wí pé: “Mo kórìíra ìgbéraga Jakọbu n kò sì ní inú dídùn sí odi alágbára rẹ̀, Èmi yóò sì fa ìlú náà lé wọn lọ́wọ́ àti ohun gbogbo tí ó wà nínú rẹ̀.”
The Lord Eternal hath sworn by his own existence, saith the Lord the God of hosts, I abhor the pride of Jacob, and his palaces do I hate: therefore will I surrender up [to the enemy] the city with all that filleth it.
9 Bí ọkùnrin mẹ́wàá bá ṣẹ́kù nínú ilé kan, àwọn náà yóò kú.
And it shall come to pass, that if there remain ten men in one house, they shall die.
10 Bí ẹbí tí ó yẹ kí ó gbé òkú wọn jáde fún sínsin bá wọlé, bí o ba sì béèrè pé ǹjẹ́ ẹnìkan wa tí ó fi ara pamọ́ níbẹ̀, “Ǹjẹ́ ẹnìkankan wà lọ́dọ̀ yín?” tí ó bá sì dáhùn wí pé, “Rárá,” nígbà náà ni yóò wí pé, “Pa ẹnu rẹ mọ́ àwa kò gbọdọ̀ dárúkọ Olúwa.”
And should a man's uncle or relative carry him forth, to bring out the bones out of the house, and say unto him that is in the recesses of the house, Is there yet any one with thee? he will say, There is no one left. Then will he say, Be silent; for we may not make mention of the name of the Lord.
11 Nítorí Olúwa tí pa àṣẹ náà, Òun yóò sì wó ilé ńlá náà lulẹ̀ túútúú, àti àwọn ilé kéékèèké sí wẹ́wẹ́.
For, behold, the Lord commandeth, and he will smite the great house with breaches, and the little house with clefts.
12 Ǹjẹ́ ẹṣin a máa sáré lórí àpáta bí? Ǹjẹ́ ènìyàn a máa fi akọ màlúù kọ ilẹ̀ níbẹ̀? Ṣùgbọ́n ẹ̀yin ti yí òtítọ́ padà sí májèlé ẹ sì ti sọ èso òdodo di ìkorò.
Do horses ever run upon the rock? or will one plough there with oxen? that ye have turned justice into poison, and the fruit of righteousness into wormwood;
13 Ẹ̀yin yọ̀ torí ìṣẹ́gun lórí Lo-Debari, ẹ̀yin sì wí pé, “Ṣé kì í ṣe agbára wa ni àwa fi gba Karnaimu?”
Ye who rejoice for a thing of naught, who say, Have we not through our own strength procured ourselves horns?
14 Nítorí Olúwa Ọlọ́run àwọn ọmọ-ogun wí pé, “Èmi yóò gbé orílẹ̀-èdè kan dìde sí ọ ìwọ Israẹli, wọn yóò pọ́n yín lójú ní gbogbo ọ̀nà, láti Lebo-Hamati, títí dé pẹ̀tẹ́lẹ̀ Arabah.”
For, behold, I will raise up against you a nation, O house of Israel, saith the Lord the God of hosts, and they shall oppress you from the entrance of Chamath unto the brook of the wilderness.
