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,
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 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.
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 have cut off judge from her midst, And I slay all its heads with him,” said YHWH.
Anplis, Mwen va koupe retire jij la nan mitan yo, e touye tout prens li yo ansanm avè l,” di SENYÈ a.
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,
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 have sent a fire against Judah, And it has consumed palaces of Jerusalem.”
Pou sa, Mwen va voye dife sou Juda, e li va devore palè a Jérusalem yo.”
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.
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 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.
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 they stretch themselves on pledged garments near every altar, And the wine of fined ones they drink [in] the house of their gods.
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 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.
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 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.
“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 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.
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 “And you cause the Nazarites to drink wine, And on the prophets you have laid a charge, Saying, Do not prophesy!
Men, nou te fè Nazareyen yo bwè divin, e nou te kòmande pwofèt yo. Nou te di yo: “Pa pwofetize!”
13 Behold, I am pressing you under, As the full cart presses a sheaf for itself.
Gade byen, Mwen va peze nou anba chaj, kon kabwa chaje lè l plen chaj sereyal.
14 And refuge has perished from the swift, And the strong does not strengthens his power, And the mighty does not deliver his soul.
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 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.
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 courageous of heart among the mighty, Flees naked in that day,” A declaration of YHWH!
Menm pi brav pami gèrye yo va chape poul yo toutouni nan jou sa a”, di SENYÈ a.
