Amos 2

1 Thus saith the Lord: For three crimes of Moab, and for four I will not convert him: because he hath burnt the bones of the king of Edom even to ashes.

Yehova akuti, “Chifukwa anthu a ku Mowabu akunka nachimwirachimwira, Ine sindileka kuwalanga. Popeza anatentha mafupa a mfumu ya ku Edomu, mpaka kuwasandutsa phulusa,

2 And I will seed a fire into Moab, and it shall devour the houses of Carioth: and Moab shall die with a noise, with the sound of the trumpet:

Ine ndidzatumiza moto pa Mowabu, umene udzanyeketsa nyumba zaufumu za ku Keriyoti. Mowabu adzafera pakati pa nkhondo yoopsa, mʼkati mwa mfuwu wa nkhondo ndi kuliza malipenga.

3 And I will cut off the judge from the midst thereof, and will slay all his princes with him, saith the Lord.

Ndidzawononga wolamulira wake ndi kupha akuluakulu onse amene ali pamodzi ndi iye,” akutero Yehova.

4 Thus saith the Lord: For three crimes of Juda, and for four I will not convert him: because he hath cast away the law of the Lord, and hath not kept his commandments: for their idols have caused them to err, after which their fathers have walked.

Yehova akuti, “Chifukwa anthu a ku Yuda akunka nachimwirachimwira, Ine sindileka kuwalanga. Popeza iwo akana lamulo la Yehova ndipo sanasunge malangizo ake, popeza asocheretsedwa ndi milungu yabodza, milungu imene makolo awo ankayitsatira,

5 And I will send a fire into Juda, and it shall devour the houses of Jerusalem.

Ine ndidzatumiza moto pa Yuda, umene udzanyeketsa nyumba zaufumu za ku Yerusalemu.”

6 Thus saith the Lord: For three crimes of Israel, and for four I will not convert him: because he hath sold the just man for silver, and the poor man for a pair of shoes.

Yehova akuti, “Chifukwa anthu a ku Israeli akunka nachimwirachimwira, Ine sindileka kuwalanga. Iwo amagulitsa anthu olungama ndi siliva, ndi osauka ndi nsapato.

7 They bruise the heads of the poor upon the dust of the earth, and turn aside the way of the humble: and the son and his father have gone to the same young woman, to profane my holy name.

Amapondereza anthu osauka ngati akuponda fumbi, ndipo sawaweruza mwachilungamo anthu oponderezedwa. Abambo ndi mwana wawo amagonana ndi mtsikana mmodzi yemweyo, ndipo potero amanyozetsa dzina langa loyera.

8 And they sat down upon garments laid to pledge by every altar: and drank the wine of the condemned in the house of their God.

Anthuwo amakagonana mʼmbali mwa guwa lililonse la nsembe pa zovala zimene anatenga ngati chikole. Mʼnyumba ya mulungu wawo amamweramo vinyo amene analipiritsa anthu pa milandu.

9 Yet I cast out the Amorrhite before their face: whose height was like the height of cedars, and who was strong as an oak: and I destroyed his fruit from above, and his roots beneath.

“Ine ndinawononga Aamori pamaso pawo, ngakhale iwo anali anthu ataliatali ngati mikungudza ndiponso amphamvu ngati mitengo ya thundu. Ndinawononga zipatso zawo ndiponso mizu yawo.

10 It is I that brought you up out of the land of Egypt, and I led you forty years through the wilderness, that you might possess the land of the Amorrhite.

“Ine ndinakutulutsani ku Igupto, ndipo ndinakutsogolerani mʼchipululu kwa zaka makumi anayi, kudzakupatsani dziko la Aamori.

11 And I raised up of your sons for prophets, and of your young men for Nazarites. Is it not so, O ye children of Israel, saith the Lord?

Ine ndinawutsanso ena mwa ana ako kuti akhale aneneri, ndi ena mwa anyamata ako kuti akhale anaziri. Kodi si choncho, inu Aisraeli?” akutero Yehova.

12 And you will present wine to the Nazarites: and command the prophets, saying: Prophesy not.

“Koma inu munawamwetsa vinyo anaziri aja, ndipo munalamula aneneri kuti asanenere.

13 Behold, I will screak under you as a wain screaketh that is laden with hay.

“Tsono Ine ndidzakupsinjani monga imapsinjikira ngolo imene yadzaza ndi tirigu.

14 And flight shall perish from the swift, and the valiant shall not possess his strength, neither shall the strong save his life.

Munthu waliwiro sadzatha kuthawa, munthu wamphamvu sadzakhalanso ndi nyonga, wankhondo sadzapulumutsa moyo wake.

15 And he that holdeth the bow shall not stand, and the swift of foot shall not escape, neither shall the rider of the horse save his life.

Munthu wa uta sadzalimbika, msilikali wothamanga kwambiri sadzapulumuka, ndipo wokwera pa akavalo sadzapulumutsa moyo wake.

16 And the stout of heart among the valiant shall flee away naked in that day, saith the Lord.

Ngakhale asilikali olimba mtima kwambiri adzathawa ali maliseche pa tsikulo,” akutero Yehova.
