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.

Nea Awurade se ni: “Moab ayɛ bɔne bebree ama no atra so, ɛno nti, merennan mʼabufuw. Ɔhyew Edomhene nnompe, maa ɛdan nsõ.

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.

Mede ogya bɛto Moab mu, na ahyew Keriot aban. Moab bɛhwe ase wɔ huuyɛ, ɔko nteɛteɛmu ne torobɛnto nnyigyei mu.

3 And I will destroy the judge out of her, and kill all her princes with him, says the Lord.

Mɛsɛe ne hene na makunkum ne mmapɔmma aka ne ho,” sɛnea Awurade se ni.

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.

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 And I will send a fire on Juda, and it shall devour the foundations of Jerusalem.

Mede ogya bɛto Yuda mu na ahyew Yerusalem aban.”

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,

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 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.

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 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.

Wɔdeda afɔremuka biara ho wɔ wɔn awowa ntama so. Wɔn anyame fi mu no, wɔnom nsa a wɔagye sɛ mmaratode.

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.

“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 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.

Miyii mo fii Misraim, na midii mo anim mfirihyia aduanan wɔ sare so sɛnea mede Amorifo asase bɛma mo.

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.

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 you gave the consecrated ones wine to drink; and you commanded the prophets, saying, Prophesy not.

“Nanso momaa Naserefo no nom nsa na mohyɛɛ adiyifo no sɛ wɔnnhyɛ nkɔm.

13 Therefore, behold, I roll under you, as a waggon full of straw is rolled.

“Na afei, mɛdwerɛw mo sɛnea teaseɛnam a aduan ayɛ no ma mia asase no.

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:

Ahoɔharefo rentumi nguan. Ahoɔdenfo rennya ahoɔden, na ɔkofo rennya ne ti nnidi mu.

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.

Agyantowfo rentumi nnyina nea ogyina. Asraafo ahoɔharefo rentumi nguan, na ɔpɔnkɔsotefo rentumi mpere ne nkwa.

16 And the strong shall find no confidence in power: the naked shall flee away in that day, says the Lord.

Mpo akofo akokodurufo de adagyaw beguan wɔ saa da no,” sɛnea Awurade se ni.
