< 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 who are at ease in Zion, and to those who are secure on the mountain of Samaria, the notable men of the foremost of 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?
Go to Calneh, and see; and from there go to Hamath the great; then go down to Gath of the Philistines. Are they better than these kingdoms? or is their border greater than your border?
3 Ẹ̀yin sún ọjọ́ ibi síwájú, ẹ sì mú ìjọba òǹrorò súnmọ́ tòsí.
Those who put 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.
Who lie on beds of ivory, and stretch themselves on their couches, and eat the lambs out of the flock, and the 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.
who strum on the strings of a harp; who invent for themselves instruments of music, like David;
6 Ẹ̀yin mu wáìnì ẹ̀kún ọpọ́n kan àti ìkunra tí o dára jùlọ ṣùgbọ́n ẹ̀yin kò káàánú ilé Josẹfu tí ó di ahoro.
who drink wine in bowls, and anoint themselves with the best oils; but they are not grieved for the affliction 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 they will now go captive with the first who go captive; and the feasting and lounging will end.
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 has sworn by himself," says the LORD, the God of hosts: "I abhor the pride of Jacob, and detest his fortresses. Therefore I will deliver up the city with all that is in it.
9 Bí ọkùnrin mẹ́wàá bá ṣẹ́kù nínú ilé kan, àwọn náà yóò kú.
And it will be, if there remain ten men in one house, they will die, and the remaining ones will be left.
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.”
"When a man's relative carries him, even he who burns him, to bring bodies out of the house, and asks him who is in the innermost parts of the house, 'Is there yet any with you?' And he says, 'No;' then he will say, 'Hush. Indeed we must not mention 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, look, the LORD commands, and the great house will be smashed to pieces, and the little house into bits.
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 run on the rocky crags? Does one plow there with oxen? But you have turned justice into poison, and the fruit of righteousness into bitterness;
13 Ẹ̀yin yọ̀ torí ìṣẹ́gun lórí Lo-Debari, ẹ̀yin sì wí pé, “Ṣé kì í ṣe agbára wa ni àwa fi gba Karnaimu?”
you who rejoice in Lo Debar, who say, 'Haven't we taken for ourselves Karnaim by our own strength?'
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, look, I will raise up against you a nation, house of Israel," says the LORD, the God of hosts; "and they will afflict you from Lebo Hamath to the Wadi Arabah."
