Amos 2

1 These are the words of the Lord: For three crimes of Moab, and for four, I will not let its fate be changed; because he had the bones of the king of Edom burned to dust.

Jehova Nyasaye wacho niya, “Nikech richo adek ma jo-Moab osetimo, kata richo angʼwen, omiyo ok abi weyo ma ok akumogi. Nikech ne giwangʼo choke mag ruodh Edom molokore buru,

2 And I will send a fire on Moab, burning up the great houses of Kerioth: and death will come on Moab with noise and outcries and the sound of the horn:

kuom mano abiro oro mach e piny Moab mondo owangʼ kuonde mochiel motegno mag Kerioth. Jo-Moab biro tho ei lweny mager, ka jolweny giyo sigich lweny kendo tungʼ ywak.

3 And I will have the judge cut off from among them, and all their captains I will put to death with him, says the Lord.

Abiro nego ruodh Moab kaachiel gi jotend pinyno duto,” Jehova Nyasaye owacho.

4 These are the words of the Lord: For three crimes of Judah, and for four, I will not let its fate be changed; because they have given up the law of the Lord, and have not kept his rules; and their false ways, in which their fathers went, have made them go out of the right way.

Jehova Nyasaye wacho niya, “Nikech richo adek ma jo-Juda osetimo, kata richo angʼwen, omiyo ok abi weyo ma ok akumogi. Nikech gisetamore rito chike Jehova Nyasaye kod buchene, kendo osewuondgi mi gisebaro giluwo bangʼ nyiseche manono mag kweregi,

5 And I will send a fire on Judah, burning up the great houses of Jerusalem.

kuom mano abiro oro mach e piny Juda, kod kuonde mochiel motegno mag Jerusalem.”

6 These are the words of the Lord: For three crimes of Israel, and for four, I will not let its fate be changed; because they have given the upright man for silver, and the poor for the price of two shoes;

Jehova Nyasaye wacho niya, “Nikech richo adek ma jo-Israel osetimo, kata richo angʼwen, omiyo ok abi weyo ma ok akumogi. Nikech ungʼiewo joma kare gi fedha, to joma odhier ma ok nyal chudo, to ungʼiewo gi pat pat.

7 Crushing the head of the poor, and turning the steps of the gentle out of the way: and a man and his father go in to the same young woman, putting shame on my holy name:

Unyono jochan piny mana ka buru kendo ok ungʼad bura makare, ne joma odhier. Wuowi gi wuon mare terore gi nyako achiel kendo udwanyo Nyinga Maler.

8 By every altar they are stretched on clothing taken from those who are in their debt, drinking in the house of their god the wine of those who have made payment for wrongdoing.

Ginindo piny e lewni mosing but kende mag misango. Divai ma gikawo kuom joma gigoyo faini gimadho e od nyasachgi.

9 Though I sent destruction on the Amorite before them, who was tall as the cedar and strong as the oak-tree, cutting off his fruit from on high and his roots from under the earth.

“Ne atieko jo-Amor mana ka gineno, kata obedo nine gin roboche ka yiend sida, kendo roteke ka yiend ober. Ne aketho olembene kod tiendene!

10 And I took you up out of the land of Egypt, guiding you for forty years in the waste land, so that you might take for your heritage the land of the Amorite.

Ne agolou e piny Misri, mi atelonu higni piero angʼwen e thim, ni mondo amiu piny jo-Amor.

11 And some of your sons I made prophets, and some of your young men I made separate for myself. Is it not even so, O children of Israel? says the Lord.

“Ne awalo yawuotu mondo obed jonabi, to moko e dieru naketo mondo obed jo-Nazir. Donge mano en adier, yaye jo-Israel?” Jehova Nyasaye owacho.

12 But to those who were separate you gave wine for drink; and to the prophets you said, Be prophets no longer.

“Ne umiyo jo-Nazir omadho divai, kendo nukwero jonabi ni kik gikor wach.

13 See, I am crushing you down, as one is crushed under a cart full of grain.

“Sani koro abiro diyou piny kama untie, mana ka cham mopongʼo gari mayiecho gari.

14 And flight will be impossible for the quick-footed, and the force of the strong will become feeble, and the man of war will not get away safely:

Joma ongʼeyo ngʼwech sani koro ok bi tony, joma rateke abiro keto bedo mool, bende nyaka jalweny manenore ni ger ok bi konyo ngimane.

15 And the bowman will not keep his place; he who is quick-footed will not get away safely: and the horseman will not keep his life.

Kata jadir asere ok noyud thuolo mar ringo, kendo jangʼwech ma jalweny ok noresre, kaachiel gi jalweny moidho faras bende ok notony.

16 And he who is without fear among the fighting men will go in flight without his clothing in that day, says the Lord.

To kata mana jolweny mathuondi moloyo noring duge chiengʼno,” Jehova Nyasaye owacho.
