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.
Assim diz o Senhor: Por tres transgressões de Moab, e por quatro, não o afastarei, porque queimou os ossos do rei de Edom, até os tornar em cal.
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:
Por isso porei fogo a Moab, e consumirá os palacios de Querioth: e Moab morrerá com grande estrondo, com alarido, com sonido de buzina.
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.
E exterminarei o juiz do meio d'elle, e a todos os seus principes com elle matarei, diz o Senhor.
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.
Assim diz o Senhor: Por tres transgressões de Judah, e por quatro, não o afastarei, porque rejeitaram a lei do Senhor, e não guardaram os seus estatutos, e as suas mentiras os enganaram, após as quaes andaram seus paes.
5 And I will send a fire on Judah, burning up the great houses of Jerusalem.
Por isso porei fogo a Judah, e consumirá os palacios de 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;
Assim diz o Senhor: Por tres transgressões de Israel, e por quatro, não o afastarei, porque vendem o justo por dinheiro, e o necessitado por um par de sapatos,
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:
Suspirando pelo pó da terra sobre a cabeça dos pobres, e pervertem o caminho dos mansos; e o homem e seu pae entram a uma mesma moça, para profanarem o meu sancto nome.
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.
E se deitam junto a qualquer altar sobre as roupas empenhadas, e bebem o vinho dos multados na casa de seus deuses.
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.
Não obstante eu ter destruido o amorrheo diante d'elles, cuja altura foi como a altura dos cedros, e foi forte como os carvalhos; mas destrui o seu fructo por cima, e as suas raizes por baixo.
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.
Tambem vos fiz subir da terra do Egypto, e quarenta annos vos guiei no deserto, para que possuisseis a terra do amorrheo.
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.
E a alguns d'entre vossos filhos suscitei para prophetas, e alguns d'entre os vossos mancebos para nazireos; e não é isto assim, filhos de Israel? diz o Senhor.
12 But to those who were separate you gave wine for drink; and to the prophets you said, Be prophets no longer.
Mas vós aos nazireos déstes vinho a beber, e aos prophetas mandastes, dizendo: Não prophetizareis.
13 See, I am crushing you down, as one is crushed under a cart full of grain.
Eis que eu vos apertarei no vosso logar como se aperta um carro cheio de manolhos.
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:
Assim que perecerá a fugida ao ligeiro; nem o forte corroborará a sua força, nem o valente livrará a sua vida.
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.
E não ficará em pé o que leva o arco, nem o ligeiro de pés se livrará, nem tão pouco o que vae montado a cavallo livrará a sua alma.
16 And he who is without fear among the fighting men will go in flight without his clothing in that day, says the Lord.
E o mais animoso entre os valentes fugirá nú n'aquelle dia, disse o Senhor.
