Amos 2
1 This is what the LORD says: “For three transgressions of Moab, even four, I will not revoke My judgment, because he burned to lime the bones of Edom’s king.
Seyè a di konsa: Moun lavil Moab yo ap plede fè peche sou peche san rete. Mwen fin pran desizyon m', mwen p'ap chanje lide. Yo pa respekte zosman wa Edon an. Yo boule yo fè yo tounen sann.
2 So I will send fire against Moab to consume the citadels of Kerioth. Moab will die in tumult, amid war cries and the sound of the ram’s horn.
M'ap voye dife nan peyi Moab la. L'a boule gwo kay lavil Keriyòt yo ra tè. Moun Moab yo ap mouri nan mitan batay la, antan moun k'ap goumen yo ap rele byen fò, epi klewon ap kònen.
3 I will cut off the ruler of Moab and kill all the officials with him,”
M'ap touye chèf k'ap gouvènen nan mitan yo ansanm ak tout lòt chèf ki nan peyi a. Se Seyè a menm ki di sa.
4 This is what the LORD says: “For three transgressions of Judah, even four, I will not revoke My judgment, because they reject the Law of the LORD and fail to keep His statutes; they are led astray by the lies in which their fathers walked.
Seyè a di konsa: Moun peyi Jida yo ap plede fè peche sou peche san rete. Mwen fin pran desizyon m', mwen p'ap chanje lide. Yo voye sa mwen te moutre yo a jete. Yo p'ap fè sa m' te ba yo lòd fè a. Yo kite menm zidòl zansèt yo te sèvi a fè yo pèdi wout yo.
5 So I will send fire upon Judah to consume the citadels of Jerusalem.”
Se poutèt sa, m'ap voye dife nan peyi Jida a. L'a boule gwo kay lavil Jerizalèm yo ra tè.
6 This is what the LORD says: “For three transgressions of Israel, even four, I will not revoke My judgment, because they sell the righteous for silver and the needy for a pair of sandals.
Seyè a di konsa: Moun pèp Izrayèl yo ap plede fè peche sou peche san rete. Mwen fin pran desizyon m', mwen p'ap chanje lide. Yo pran moun serye ki pa ka peye dèt yo, yo vann yo tankou esklav. Yo pran pòv malere ki pa gen senk pou peye dèt yo, yo vann yo pou gremesi.
7 They trample on the heads of the poor as on the dust of the earth; they push the needy out of their way. A man and his father have relations with the same girl and so profane My holy name.
Y'ap pilonnen malere anba pye yo. Y'ap fè pòv yo vin pi pòv. Papa kou pitit al dèyè fi k'ap sèvi nan kay la. Konsa, yo trennen non Bondye nan labou.
8 They lie down beside every altar on garments taken in pledge. And in the house of their God, they drink wine obtained through fines.
Yo kouche bò lotèl yo sou rad moun te mete nan plan lakay yo. Nan tanp bondye yo a y'ap bwè bweson yo te fè moun bay pou amann.
9 Yet it was I who destroyed the Amorite before them, though his height was like that of the cedars, and he was as strong as the oaks. Yet I destroyed his fruit above and his roots below.
Men, nou menm pèp mwen, se pou nou mwen te detwi moun Amori yo nèt, yon bann moun ki te wo tankou pye palmis, ki te gen kouraj tankou pye bwadchenn. Mwen koupe branch yo ra tè. Mwen dechouke rasin yo.
10 And I brought you up from the land of Egypt and led you forty years in the wilderness, that you might take possession of the land of the Amorite.
Mwen fè nou soti kite peyi Lejip. Mwen mennen nou pandan karantan nan dezè a. Mwen ban nou peyi moun Amori yo pou peyi pa nou.
11 I raised up prophets from your sons and Nazirites from your young men. Is this not true, O children of Israel?”
Mwen te chwazi kèk nan pitit gason nou yo pou sèvi m' prèt, ak kèk nan jenn gason nou yo pou yo ka vin nazirit. Se pa konsa sa te fèt vre, moun Izrayèl? Se mwen menm, Seyè a, ki di sa.
12 “But you made the Nazirites drink wine and commanded the prophets not to prophesy.
Men, nou fè nazirit yo bwè diven, nou bay pwofèt yo lòd pou yo pa bay mesaj mwen ba yo pou pèp la.
13 Behold, I am about to crush you in your place as with a cart full of grain.
Koulye a, mwen pral kraze nou anba pye m' menm jan yon kabwèt chaje ap foule tè.
14 Escape will fail the swift, the strong will not prevail by his strength, and the mighty will not save his life.
Nou te mèt konn kouri, nou p'ap chape. Gwonèg kou nou gwonèg, sa p'ap sèvi nou anyen. Vanyan kou nou vanyan, nou p'ap ka sove pwòp tèt nou.
15 The archer will not stand his ground, the fleet of foot will not escape, and the horseman will not save his life.
Moun k'ap tire flèch yo p'ap ka rete kanpe. Moun k'ap kouri vit yo p'ap ka chape. Kavalye sou chwal p'ap ka sove lavi yo.
16 Even the bravest of mighty men will flee naked on that day,”
Jou sa a, ata sòlda ki pi vanyan yo ap lage zam yo atè, y'ap kouri met deyò tankou manman yo te fè yo. Se Seyè a menm ki di sa.
