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.
Yavé dice: Por tres pecados de Moab, y por el cuarto, no revocaré su castigo: Porque quemó los huesos del rey de Edom hasta calcinarlos.
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:
Enviaré fuego sobre Moab, y devorará los palacios de Queriot. En el tumulto morirá Moab, con gritos de guerra y el sonido de trompeta.
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.
También cortaré al juez de en medio de ella. Mataré con él a todos sus jefes, dice Yavé.
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.
Yavé dice: Por tres pecados de Judá, y por el cuarto, no le revocaré su castigo: Porque despreciaron la Ley de Yavé y no guardaron sus Ordenanzas, y los extraviaron sus mentiras, tras las cuales anduvieron sus antepasados.
5 And I will send a fire on Judah, burning up the great houses of Jerusalem.
Encenderé fuego en Judá, que devorará los palacios de Jerusalén.
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;
Yavé dice: Por tres pecados de Israel, y por el cuarto, no revocaré su castigo: Porque venden al justo por dinero, y al necesitado por un par de sandalias.
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:
Codician hasta el polvo de la tierra que está sobre la cabeza del pobre, y pervierten la senda del humilde. Un hombre y su padre se unen con la misma joven, a fin de profanar mi santo Nombre.
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.
Se acuestan sobre ropas retenidas en prenda junto a cualquier altar y beben el vino de los multados en la casa de su ʼelohim.
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.
Yo destruí al amorreo ante ellos, cuya estatura era como la altura de los cedros y fuertes como los robles. Sin embargo Yo destruí su fruto arriba y sus raíces abajo,
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.
Yo, Quien los saqué de la tierra de Egipto y los conduje por el desierto durante 40 años para que poseyeran la tierra del amorreo.
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.
Entonces levanté a algunos de sus hijos para que fueran profetas y a algunos de sus jóvenes para que fueran nazareos. ¿No es así, oh hijos de Israel? dice Yavé.
12 But to those who were separate you gave wine for drink; and to the prophets you said, Be prophets no longer.
Pero ustedes dieron a beber vino a los nazareos y mandaron a los profetas: No profeticen.
13 See, I am crushing you down, as one is crushed under a cart full of grain.
Ciertamente, ustedes me presionaron, como una carreta es presionada cuando está cargada de gavillas.
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:
No hay escape para el ágil, ni el fuerte saca su fuerza, ni el valiente salva su 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.
El que empuña el arco no resistirá, el ligero de pies no escapará, ni el jinete salvará su vida.
16 And he who is without fear among the fighting men will go in flight without his clothing in that day, says the Lord.
Aun el más bravo entre los guerreros huirá desnudo en aquel día, dice Yavé.
