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.
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 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:
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 cut off the judge from the midst thereof, and will slay all his princes with him, saith 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 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.
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 into Juda, and it shall devour the houses of Jerusalem.
Pou sa, Mwen va voye dife sou Juda, e li va devore palè a Jérusalem yo.”
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.
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 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.
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 sat down upon garments laid to pledge by every altar: and drank the wine of the condemned 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 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.
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 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.
“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 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?
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 And you will present wine to the Nazarites: and command the prophets, saying: Prophesy not.
Men, nou te fè Nazareyen yo bwè divin, e nou te kòmande pwofèt yo. Nou te di yo: “Pa pwofetize!”
13 Behold, I will screak under you as a wain screaketh that is laden with hay.
Gade byen, Mwen va peze nou anba chaj, kon kabwa chaje lè l plen chaj sereyal.
14 And flight shall perish from the swift, and the valiant shall not possess his strength, neither shall the strong 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 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.
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 valiant shall flee away naked in that day, saith the Lord.
Menm pi brav pami gèrye yo va chape poul yo toutouni nan jou sa a”, di SENYÈ a.
