< Amos 2 >

1 Thus sayth the Lord, For three transgressions of Moab, and for foure, I will not turne to it, because it burnt the bones of the King of Edom into lime.
Waaqayyo akkana jedha: “Ani cubbuu Moʼaab sadiif, afuriifis dheekkamsa koo duubatti hin deebisu. Sababii inni lafee mootii Edoom gubee daaraa godheef,
2 Therefore will I send a fire vpon Moab, and it shall deuoure the palaces of Kerioth, and Moab shall die with tumult, with shouting, and with the sound of a trumpet.
ani ibidda daʼannoo Keriiyooti barbadeessu tokko Moʼaabitti nan erga. Moʼaab iyya waraanaatii fi sagalee malakataatiin duʼa.
3 And I will cut off the iudge out of the mids thereof, and will slay all the princes thereof with him, sayth the Lord.
Ani bulchaa ishee ajjeesee qondaaltota ishee hundas isa wajjinin fixa” jedha Waaqayyo.
4 Thus saith the Lord, For three transgressions of Iudah, and for foure, I will not turne to it, because they haue cast away the Lawe of the Lord, and haue not kept his commandementes, and their lies caused them to erre after the which their fathers haue walked.
Waaqayyo akkana jedha: “Ani cubbuu Yihuudaa sadiif, afuriifis dheekkamsa koo duubatti hin deebisu. Sababii isaan seera Waaqayyoo didanii ajaja isaas hin eeginiif, sababii isaan waaqota sobaa, waaqota abbootiin isaanii duukaa buʼan sanaan karaa irraa jalʼataniif,
5 Therefore will I send a fire vpon Iudah, and it shall deuoure the palaces of Ierusalem.
ani ibidda daʼannoo Yerusaalem barbadeessu tokko Yihuudaatti nan erga.”
6 Thus sayth the Lord, For three transgressions of Israel, and for foure, I will not turne to it, because they solde the righteous for siluer and the poore for shooes.
Waaqayyo akkana jedha: “Ani cubbuu Israaʼel sadiif, afuriifis dheekkamsa koo duubatti hin deebisu. Isaan qajeeltota meetiitti, rakkattoota immoo kophee cimdii tokkotti gurguratan.
7 They gape ouer the head of the poore, in the dust of the earth, and peruert the wayes of the meeke: and a man and his father will goe in to a mayde to dishonour mine holy Name.
Isaan akkuma biyyoo lafaatti mataa hiyyeeyyii irra ijaajjanii cunqurfamaas murtii qajeelaa dhowwatan. Abbaa fi ilmi durba tokkotti galanii akkasiin maqaa koo qulqulluu xureessan.
8 And they lye downe vpon clothes layde to pledge by euery altar: and they drinke the wine of the condemned in the house of their God.
Isaan uffata qabdiidhaan nama irraa fudhatan irra iddoo aarsaa hunda bira ciciisan. Isaan daadhii wayinii kan warra adabaman biraa dhufe, mana waaqa isaanii keessatti dhugu.
9 Yet destroyed I the Amorite before the, whose height was like the height of the cedars, and he was strong as the okes: notwithstanding I destroyed his fruite from aboue, and his roote from beneath.
“Inni akkuma birbirsaa dheeratee akka qilxuu jabaatu iyyuu, ani namicha Amoor sana fuula isaanii duratti galaafadheera. Ani gubbaadhaa ija isaa, jalaan immoo hidda isaa balleesseera.
10 Also I brought you vp from the land of Egypt, and led you fourtie yeres thorowe the wildernesse, to possesse the land of the Amorite.
“Ani biyya Amoorotaa isiniif kennuuf jedhee, biyya Gibxiitii isin baasee waggaa afurtama gammoojjii keessa isinan geggeesse.
11 And I raysed vp of your sonnes for Prophets, and of your yong men for Nazarites. Is it not euen thus, O ye children of Israel, sayth the Lord?
“Akkasumas ani ilmaan keessan gidduudhaa raajota, dargaggoota keessan gidduudhaa immoo Naaziroota kaaseera. Yaa saba Israaʼel, wanni kun dhuguma mitii?” jedha Waaqayyo.
12 But ye gaue the Nazarites wine to drinke, and commanded the Prophetes, saying, Prophecie not.
“Isin garuu Naaziroota daadhii wayinii obaaftanii akka raajonnis raajii hin dubbanne ajajjan.
13 Behold, I am pressed vnder you as a cart is pressed that is full of sheaues.
“Ani akkuma gaariin yommuu midhaaniin guutamu caccabu sana, amma isinan caccabsa.
14 Therefore the flight shall perish from the swift, and the strong shall not strengthen his force, neither shall the mightie saue his life.
Saffisaan hin miliqu; namoonni jajjaboon humna isaanii hin jabeeffatan; loltuunis lubbuu isaa hin oolfatu.
15 Nor he that handleth the bowe, shall stand, and he that is swift of foote, shall not escape, neyther shall he that rideth the horse, saue his life.
Abbaan xiyyaa jabaatee dhaabachuu hin dandaʼu; loltuun saffisaan fiigee jalaa hin baʼu; abbaan fardaas lubbuu isaa oolfachuu hin dandaʼu.
16 And he that is of a mighty courage among the strong men, shall flee away naked in that day, sayth the Lord.
Loltoonni akka malee jajjaboon iyyuu gaafas qullaa isaanii baqatu” jedha Waaqayyo.
