Amos 2
1 Thus said YHWH: “For three transgressions of Moab, And for four, I do not reverse it, Because of his burning the bones of the king of Edom to lime,
Ale Yehowa gblɔe nye esi: “Le Moab ƒe nu vɔ̃ gbogboawo ta la, nyematsɔ wo akee o, elabena etsɔ Edom fia ƒe ƒuwo me akaloe.
2 And I have sent a fire against Moab, And it has consumed the palaces of Kerioth, And Moab is dying with noise, With shouting, with voice of a horn.
Eya ta mana dzo nava fia Moab, eye wòabi mɔ sesẽ siwo le Keriyɔt. Moab fia ŋutɔ atsrɔ̃ le ʋunyaʋunya me le aʋaɣli kple kpẽwo ƒe ɖiɖi me,
3 And I have cut off judge from her midst, And I slay all its heads with him,” said YHWH.
eye mawu eƒe fia kple eŋutimewo katã.” Yehowae gblɔe.
4 Thus said YHWH: “For three transgressions of Judah, And for four, I do not reverse it, Because of their loathing the Law of YHWH, And His statutes they have not kept, And their lies cause them to err, After which their fathers walked,
Ale Yehowa gblɔe nye esi: “Le Yuda ƒe nu vɔ̃ gbogboawo ta la, nyematsɔ wo akee o, elabena egbe nu le Yehowa ƒe seawo gbɔ, eye wògbe eƒe ɖoɖowo dzi wɔwɔ, ke boŋ ena eƒe alakpalegba siwo yome wo fofowo dze la kplɔe trae,
5 And I have sent a fire against Judah, And it has consumed palaces of Jerusalem.”
eya ta mana dzo nava fia Yuda, eye wòafia Yerusalem ƒe mɔ sesẽwo.”
6 Thus said YHWH: “For three transgressions of Israel, And for four, I do not reverse it, Because of their selling the righteous for silver, And the needy for a pair of sandals.
“Le Israel ƒe nu vɔ̃ gbogboawo ta la, “Nyematsɔ wo akee o, elabena etsɔ ame dzɔdzɔe dzra ɖe klosalo ta, eye wòtsɔ ame dahe dzra ɖe atokota dodo ɖeka pɛ ta.
7 Who are panting for the dust of the earth on the head of the poor, And the way of the humble they turn aside, And a man and his father go to the girl, So as to defile My holy Name.
Wotea ame dahewo ɖe to, eye wotrɔa gbo nya dzɔdzɔewo na ame gblɔe siwo wote ɖe to. Vɔ̃ɖitɔe nye be, ŋutsu kple via dea ɖetugbi ɖeka gbɔ heƒoa ɖi nye ŋkɔ kɔkɔe la.
8 And they stretch themselves on pledged garments near every altar, And the wine of fined ones they drink [in] the house of their gods.
Woɖoa atsyɔ̃ kple avɔ siwo woxɔ le fenyilawo si le vɔsamlekpuiwo katã gbɔ, eye wonoa nyadrɔ̃ha siwo woxɔ le woƒe mawuwo ƒe aƒe me.
9 And I have destroyed the Amorite from before them, Whose height [is] as the height of cedars, And he [is] strong as the oaks, And I destroy his fruit from above, And his roots from beneath.
“Metsrɔ̃ Amoritɔwo le wo ŋgɔ, togbɔ be wodzɔ atsu abe sedati, eye wosẽ abe sesewu ene hã la, meho wo kple ke.
10 And I have brought you up from the land of Egypt, And cause you to go in a wilderness forty years, To possess the land of the Amorite.
Mekplɔ wò do goe tso Egipte, eye mekplɔ wò le gbedzi ƒe blaene sɔŋ, be woava xɔ Amoritɔwo ƒe anyigba.
11 And I raise of your sons for prophets, And of your choice ones for Nazarites, Is this not true, O sons of Israel?” A declaration of YHWH.
Meɖo mia viŋutsuwo nyagblɔɖilawo kple míaƒe ɖekakpuiwo Mawu ƒe kluwo na Israel; ɖe nàte ŋu agblɔ be esiawo katã mele eme oa? Yehowae gblɔe.
12 “And you cause the Nazarites to drink wine, And on the prophets you have laid a charge, Saying, Do not prophesy!
Gake miena wain Mawu ƒe kluwo wono. Gawu la, miegbe na nyagblɔɖilawo be womagblɔ nya ɖi o.
13 Behold, I am pressing you under, As the full cart presses a sheaf for itself.
“Eya ta mate mi ɖe to abe ale si keke si wodo bligba na fũu la yia toe ene.
14 And refuge has perished from the swift, And the strong does not strengthens his power, And the mighty does not deliver his soul.
Miaƒe aʋawɔla ɖeablawo mate ŋu asi, akpɔ sitsoƒe o, ame sesẽwo mate ŋu azã woƒe ŋusẽ o, eye kalẽtɔ mate ŋu aɖe eƒe agbe o.
15 And the handler of the bow does not stand, And the swift does not deliver [himself] with his feet, And the rider of the horse does not deliver his soul.
Aŋutrɔdala manɔ te adae o, asrafo zazɛ̃wo mate ŋu asi o, eye sɔdola nyuitɔ mate ŋu ado sɔ asi le tsɔtsrɔ̃ la nu o.
16 And the courageous of heart among the mighty, Flees naked in that day,” A declaration of YHWH!
Dzideƒotɔ siwo le kalẽtɔwo dome hã asi amamae gbe ma gbe.” Yehowae gblɔe.
