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.

Zvanzi naJehovha: “Nemhaka yezvivi zvitatu zvaMoabhu, kunyange zvina, handingadzori hasha dzangu. Nokuti akapisa, kuita madota, mapfupa amambo weEdhomu.

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:

Ndichatuma moto pamusoro paMoabhu uchaparadza nhare dzeKerioti. Moabhu achawira pasi mubope guru pakati pemheremhere yehondo, nokurira kwehwamanda.

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

Ndichaparadza mutongi wake uye ndichauraya makurukota ake pamwe chete naye,” ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha.

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.

Zvanzi naJehovha: “Nemhaka yezvivi zvitatu zvaJudha, kunyange zvina, handingadzori hasha dzangu. Nokuti vakaramba murayiro waJehovha uye havana kuchengeta mitemo yake, nokuti vakatsauswa mukurasika navamwari venhema, vamwari vakateverwa namadzitateguru avo,

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

ndichatuma moto pamusoro peJudha, uchaparadza nhare dzeJerusarema.”

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.

Zvanzi naJehovha: “Nemhaka yezvivi zvitatu zvaIsraeri, kunyange zvina, handingadzori hasha dzangu. Vanotengesa vakarurama kuti vawane sirivha, navanoshayiwa kuti vawane shangu.

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.

Vanotsika-tsika pamisoro yavarombo savanotsika paguruva, uye vanoshayisa vakadzvinyirirwa kururamisirwa. Baba nomwanakomana vanorara nomusikana mumwe chete, nokudaro vanosvibisa zita rangu dzvene.

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.

Vanovata pasi parutivi pearitari imwe neimwe panguo dzakatorwa norubatso. Mumba yamwari wavo vanonwa waini yakatorwa somuripo.

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.

“Ndakaparadza Amori pamberi pavo, kunyange akanga akareba somusidhari uye akasimba somuouki. Ndakaparadza zvibereko zvake kumusoro nemidzi yake pasi.

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.

“Ndakakubudisa kubva muIjipiti, ndikakutungamirira kwamakore makumi mana murenje, kuti ndikupe nyika yavaAmori.

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?

Ndakamutsawo vaprofita kubva pakati pavanakomana venyu, navaNaziri kubva pakati pamajaya enyu. Ichi hachisi chokwadi here, nhai vanhu veIsraeri?” ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha.

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

“Asi makaita kuti vaNaziri vanwe waini uye mukarayira vaprofita kuti varege kuprofita.

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

“Zvino ipapo ndichakupwanyai sokupwanya kunoita ngoro izere nezviyo.

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

Vanomhanya kwazvo havangapunyuki, vakasimba havangazovi nesimba ravo, uye murwi haangazoponesi upenyu hwake.

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.

Anopfura nemiseve haangazoramba amire, murwi anogona kumhanya haangapunyuki, uye mutasvi webhiza haangazoponesi upenyu hwake.

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

Kunyange mhare dzakashinga dzichatiza dzisina nguo pazuva iro,” ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha.
