Amos 2
1 Thus says the Lord; For three sins of Moab, and for four, I will not turn away from it; because they burnt the bones of the king of Idumea to lime.
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 But I will send forth a fire on Moab, and it shall devour the foundations of its cities: and Moab shall perish in weakness, with a shout, and with the sound of a 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 destroy the judge out of her, and kill all her princes with him, says 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 says the Lord; For three sins of the children of Judah, and for four, I will not turn away from him; because they have rejected the law of the Lord, and have not kept his ordinances, and their vain [idols] which they made, which their fathers followed, caused them to err.
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 on Juda, and it shall devour the foundations of Jerusalem.
Pou sa, Mwen va voye dife sou Juda, e li va devore palè a Jérusalem yo.”
6 Thus says the Lord; for three sins of Israel, and for four, I will not turn away from him; because they sold the righteous for silver, and the poor for sandals,
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 wherewith to tread on the dust of the earth, and they have struck upon the heads of the poor, and have perverted the way of the lowly: and a son and his father have gone into the same maid, that they might profane the name of their God.
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 binding their clothes with cords they have made them curtains near the altar, and they have drunk wine gained by extortion 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 Nevertheless I cut off the Amorite from before them, whose height was as the height of a cedar, and he was strong as an oak; and I dried up his fruit from above, and his roots from 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 And I brought you up out of the land of Egypt, and led you about in the desert forty years, that you should inherit the land of the Amorites.
“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 took of your sons for prophets, and of your young men for consecration. Are not these things so, you sons of Israel? says 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 But you gave the consecrated ones wine to drink; and you commanded 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 Therefore, behold, I roll under you, as a waggon full of straw is rolled.
Gade byen, Mwen va peze nou anba chaj, kon kabwa chaje lè l plen chaj sereyal.
14 And flight shall perish from the runner, and the strong shall not hold fast his strength, and the warrior shall not 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 the archer shall not withstand, and he that is swift of foot shall in no wise escape; and the horseman shall not 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 strong shall find no confidence in power: the naked shall flee away in that day, says the Lord.
Menm pi brav pami gèrye yo va chape poul yo toutouni nan jou sa a”, di SENYÈ a.
