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.
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 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:
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 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.
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 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.
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 And I will send a fire on Judah, burning up the great houses of Jerusalem.
Se poutèt sa, m'ap voye dife nan peyi Jida a. L'a boule gwo kay lavil Jerizalèm yo ra tè.
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;
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 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:
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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 to those who were separate you gave wine for drink; and to the prophets you said, Be prophets no longer.
Men, nou fè nazirit yo bwè diven, nou bay pwofèt yo lòd pou yo pa bay mesaj mwen ba yo pou pèp la.
13 See, I am crushing you down, as one is crushed under a cart full of grain.
Koulye a, mwen pral kraze nou anba pye m' menm jan yon kabwèt chaje ap foule tè.
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:
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 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.
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 And he who is without fear among the fighting men will go in flight without his clothing in that day, says the Lord.
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.
