Amos 2
1 Thus says the Lord: For three wicked deeds of Moab, and for four, I will not convert him, in so far as he has burned the bones of the king of Idumea, all the way to ashes.
Konsa pale SENYÈ a: “Akoz de twa transgresyon Moab yo, menm kat; Mwen p ap retire pinisyon an, akoz li te brile zo a wa Édom nan pou l fè lacho.
2 And I will send a fire onto Moab, and it will devour the buildings of Kerioth. And Moab will die with a noise, with the blare of a trumpet.
Pou sa, Mwen va voye dife sou Moab e li va devore sitadèl Kérijoth yo. Moab va mouri nan mitan gwo zen, kri lagè ak son a twonpèt.
3 And I will destroy the judge in their midst, and I will execute all his leaders with him, says the Lord.
Anplis, Mwen va koupe retire jij la nan mitan yo, e touye tout prens li yo ansanm avè l,” di SENYÈ a.
4 Thus says the Lord: For three wicked deeds of Judah, and for four, I will not convert him, in so far as he has rejected the law of the Lord and has not kept his commandments. For their idols, which their fathers followed, have deceived them.
Konsa pale SENYÈ a: “Akoz de twa transgresyon a Juda yo, menm kat, mwen p ap retire pinisyon an, akoz yo te rejte lalwa SENYÈ a, e yo pa t kenbe règleman Li yo; manti yo te koz yo vin egare, dèyè sila menm papa zansèt yo te mache.
5 And I will send a fire onto Judah, and it will devour the buildings of Jerusalem.
Pou sa, Mwen va voye dife sou Juda, e li va devore palè a Jérusalem yo.”
6 Thus says the Lord: For three wicked deeds of Israel, and for four, I will not convert him, in so far as he has sold the just for silver and the poor for shoes.
Konsa pale SENYÈ a: “Akoz de twa transgresyon a Israël yo, menm kat, Mwen p ap retire pinisyon an; akoz yo te vann sila ki dwat yo pou lajan, e malere yo pou achte de grenn sapat.
7 They grind the heads of the poor into the dust of the earth, and they divert the way of the humble. And the son, as well as his father, have gone to the same girl, so that they outrage my holy name.
Sila yo k ap foule tèt a malere a, jis pou l rive nan pousyè, k ap refi bay jistis a oprimen an. Yon gason ak papa li antre nan menm fanm nan pou yo ka pwofane non sen Mwen an.
8 And they have lain on garments taken in pledge next to every altar. And they drank the wine of the damned in the house of their God.
Yo lonje kò yo bò kote tout lotèl, sou vètman ki te pran kon garanti yo. Nan kay Bondye yo a, yo bwè diven nan ki te bay pou peye amann yo.
9 Yet I exterminated the Amorites before their face, whose height was like the height of cedars, and whose strength was like the oak. And I crushed his fruit from above and his roots below.
Malgre sa, se te Mwen menm ki te detwi Amoreyen yo devan yo, malgre wotè yo te tankou wotè a pye palmis e yo te gen fòs tankou bwadchenn. Mwen te detwi ni fwi yo pa anlè, ni rasin yo pa anba.
10 It is I who caused you to ascend from the land of Egypt, and I led you in the wilderness for forty years, so that you might possess the land of the Amorite.
“Se te Mwen menm ki te mennen nou monte soti peyi Égypte la. E Mwen te mennen nou nan dezè a pandan karantan, pou nou ta ka posede peyi Amoreyen yo.
11 And I stirred up prophets from your sons, and Nazirites from your young men. Is it not so, sons of Israel, says the Lord?
Mwen te fè leve kèk nan fis nou yo kon pwofèt, e kèk nan jennonm nou yo kon Nazareyen. Èske se pa sa, fis Israël yo?” di SENYÈ a.
12 Yet you would offer wine to the Nazirites, and you would command the prophets, saying: “Do not prophesy.”
Men, nou te fè Nazareyen yo bwè divin, e nou te kòmande pwofèt yo. Nou te di yo: “Pa pwofetize!”
13 Behold, I will creak under you, just as a wagon creaks that is laden with hay.
Gade byen, Mwen va peze nou anba chaj, kon kabwa chaje lè l plen chaj sereyal.
14 And flight will perish from the swift, and the strong will not maintain his strength, and the healthy will not save his life.
Kouri kite p ap posib, menm pou sila ki pi vit la; Sila ki dyanm lan, p ap ka ranfòse fòs li, ni sila ki pwisan an, p ap ka delivre tèt li.
15 And one holding the bow will not stand firm, and the swift of foot will not be saved, and the rider on the horse will not save his life.
Ni sila ki fò ak banza a, p ap ka kanpe. Sila ki rapid a pye a p ap ka delivre tèt li. Sila ki konn monte cheval la p ap chape.
16 And the stout of heart among the strong will flee away naked in that day, says the Lord.
Menm pi brav pami gèrye yo va chape poul yo toutouni nan jou sa a”, di SENYÈ a.
