Amos 2
1 Thus hath said the Lord, For three transgressions of Moab, and for four, will I not turn away their punishment; because he burnt the bones of the king of Edom into lime;
Yehova akuti, “Chifukwa anthu a ku Mowabu akunka nachimwirachimwira, Ine sindileka kuwalanga. Popeza anatentha mafupa a mfumu ya ku Edomu, mpaka kuwasandutsa phulusa,
2 And I will send a fire against Moab, which shall devour the palaces of Keriyoth: and Moab shall die in the tumult, in the shouting, amidst the sound of the cornet;
Ine ndidzatumiza moto pa Mowabu, umene udzanyeketsa nyumba zaufumu za ku Keriyoti. Mowabu adzafera pakati pa nkhondo yoopsa, mʼkati mwa mfuwu wa nkhondo ndi kuliza malipenga.
3 And I will cut off the judges from her midst, and all her princes will I slay, with him, saith the Lord.
Ndidzawononga wolamulira wake ndi kupha akuluakulu onse amene ali pamodzi ndi iye,” akutero Yehova.
4 Thus hath said the Lord, For three transgressions of Judah, and for four, will I not turn away their punishment; because they have despised the law of the Lord, and did not keep his statutes, and their lying idols caused them to err, after which their fathers had walked;
Yehova akuti, “Chifukwa anthu a ku Yuda akunka nachimwirachimwira, Ine sindileka kuwalanga. Popeza iwo akana lamulo la Yehova ndipo sanasunge malangizo ake, popeza asocheretsedwa ndi milungu yabodza, milungu imene makolo awo ankayitsatira,
5 And I will send out a fire against Judah, which shall devour the palaces of Jerusalem.
Ine ndidzatumiza moto pa Yuda, umene udzanyeketsa nyumba zaufumu za ku Yerusalemu.”
6 Thus hath said the Lord, For three transgressions of Israel, and for four, will I not turn away their punishment; because they sold for silver the righteous, and the needy for a pair of shoes;
Yehova akuti, “Chifukwa anthu a ku Israeli akunka nachimwirachimwira, Ine sindileka kuwalanga. Iwo amagulitsa anthu olungama ndi siliva, ndi osauka ndi nsapato.
7 That are eager after the dust of the earth on the head of the poor, and turn aside the way of the meek: and a man and his father will go in unto the same young woman, in order to profane my holy name.
Amapondereza anthu osauka ngati akuponda fumbi, ndipo sawaweruza mwachilungamo anthu oponderezedwa. Abambo ndi mwana wawo amagonana ndi mtsikana mmodzi yemweyo, ndipo potero amanyozetsa dzina langa loyera.
8 And upon pledged garments they stretch themselves out by every altar, and the wine of the condemned do they drink in the house of their gods.
Anthuwo amakagonana mʼmbali mwa guwa lililonse la nsembe pa zovala zimene anatenga ngati chikole. Mʼnyumba ya mulungu wawo amamweramo vinyo amene analipiritsa anthu pa milandu.
9 Yet have I destroyed the Emorite from before them, whose height was like the height of cedars, and who was strong as the oaks; but I destroyed his fruit from above, and his roots from beneath.
“Ine ndinawononga Aamori pamaso pawo, ngakhale iwo anali anthu ataliatali ngati mikungudza ndiponso amphamvu ngati mitengo ya thundu. Ndinawononga zipatso zawo ndiponso mizu yawo.
10 And it was I who have brought you up from the land of Egypt, and led you forty years through the wilderness, to take possession of the land of the Emorite.
“Ine ndinakutulutsani ku Igupto, ndipo ndinakutsogolerani mʼchipululu kwa zaka makumi anayi, kudzakupatsani dziko la Aamori.
11 And I have raised up of your sons for prophets, and of your young men for nazarites: is it not even thus, O ye children of Israel? saith the Lord.
Ine ndinawutsanso ena mwa ana ako kuti akhale aneneri, ndi ena mwa anyamata ako kuti akhale anaziri. Kodi si choncho, inu Aisraeli?” akutero Yehova.
12 But ye have given the nazarites wine to drink; and concerning the prophets have ye commanded, saying, Ye shall not prophesy.
“Koma inu munawamwetsa vinyo anaziri aja, ndipo munalamula aneneri kuti asanenere.
13 Behold, I press down [the ground] under you, as the wagon presseth [it] down that is full of sheaves.
“Tsono Ine ndidzakupsinjani monga imapsinjikira ngolo imene yadzaza ndi tirigu.
14 And refuge shall vanish from the swift, and the strong shall not make use of his force, neither shall the mighty man escape with his life.
Munthu waliwiro sadzatha kuthawa, munthu wamphamvu sadzakhalanso ndi nyonga, wankhondo sadzapulumutsa moyo wake.
15 And he that handleth the bow shall not be able to stand; and he that is swift of foot shall not escape: neither shall he that rideth the horse escape with his life.
Munthu wa uta sadzalimbika, msilikali wothamanga kwambiri sadzapulumuka, ndipo wokwera pa akavalo sadzapulumutsa moyo wake.
16 And he that is most courageous hearted among the mighty shall flee away naked on that day, saith the Lord.
Ngakhale asilikali olimba mtima kwambiri adzathawa ali maliseche pa tsikulo,” akutero Yehova.
