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.
Nea Awurade se ni: “Moab ayɛ bɔne bebree ama no atra so, ɛno nti, merennan mʼabufuw. Ɔhyew Edomhene nnompe, maa ɛdan nsõ.
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.
Mede ogya bɛto Moab mu, na ahyew Keriot aban. Moab bɛhwe ase wɔ huuyɛ, ɔko nteɛteɛmu ne torobɛnto nnyigyei mu.
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.
Mɛsɛe ne hene na makunkum ne mmapɔmma aka ne ho,” sɛnea Awurade se ni.
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.
Nea Awurade se ni: “Yuda ayɛ bɔne bebree ama no atra so, ɛno nti, merennan mʼabufuw. Wɔapo Awurade mmara no na wɔanni nʼahyɛde so efisɛ atoro anyame no ama wɔafom ɔkwan no, anyame a wɔn nenanom dii akyi no.
5 Therefore will I send a fire vpon Iudah, and it shall deuoure the palaces of Ierusalem.
Mede ogya bɛto Yuda mu na ahyew Yerusalem aban.”
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.
Nea Awurade se ni: “Israel ayɛ bɔne bebree ama no atra so, ɛno nti, merennan mʼabufuw. Wɔtɔn atreneefo de gye dwetɛ, ne ahiafo de gye mpaboa.
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.
Wotiatia ahiafo so te sɛnea wɔyɛ fam mfutuma na wɔma atɛntrenee bɔ mmɔborɔfo. Agya ne ne ba ne ɔbea baako da de gu me din kronkron no ho fi.
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.
Wɔdeda afɔremuka biara ho wɔ wɔn awowa ntama so. Wɔn anyame fi mu no, wɔnom nsa a wɔagye sɛ mmaratode.
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.
“Mesɛee Amorifo no wɔ wɔn anim, ɛwɔ mu sɛ wɔwoware te sɛ sida. Wɔn ho nso yɛ den sɛ odum. Nanso mesɛee nʼaba wɔ ne soro, ne ne ntin wɔ nʼase.
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.
Miyii mo fii Misraim, na midii mo anim mfirihyia aduanan wɔ sare so sɛnea mede Amorifo asase bɛma mo.
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?
Miyiyii mo mmabarima no bi yɛɛ wɔn adiyifo, ne mo mmerante ebinom sɛ Naserefo. Na ɛnte saa ana, Israelfo?” Nea Awurade bisa ni.
12 But ye gaue the Nazarites wine to drinke, and commanded the Prophetes, saying, Prophecie not.
“Nanso momaa Naserefo no nom nsa na mohyɛɛ adiyifo no sɛ wɔnnhyɛ nkɔm.
13 Behold, I am pressed vnder you as a cart is pressed that is full of sheaues.
“Na afei, mɛdwerɛw mo sɛnea teaseɛnam a aduan ayɛ no ma mia asase no.
14 Therefore the flight shall perish from the swift, and the strong shall not strengthen his force, neither shall the mightie saue his life.
Ahoɔharefo rentumi nguan. Ahoɔdenfo rennya ahoɔden, na ɔkofo rennya ne ti nnidi mu.
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.
Agyantowfo rentumi nnyina nea ogyina. Asraafo ahoɔharefo rentumi nguan, na ɔpɔnkɔsotefo rentumi mpere ne nkwa.
16 And he that is of a mighty courage among the strong men, shall flee away naked in that day, sayth the Lord.
Mpo akofo akokodurufo de adagyaw beguan wɔ saa da no,” sɛnea Awurade se ni.
