Amos 2

1 Thus says Jehovah: "For three transgressions of Moab, yes, for four, I will not turn away its punishment; because he burned the bones of the king of Edom into lime;

Jehova Nyasaye wacho niya, “Nikech richo adek ma jo-Moab osetimo, kata richo angʼwen, omiyo ok abi weyo ma ok akumogi. Nikech ne giwangʼo choke mag ruodh Edom molokore buru,

2 but I will send a fire on Moab, and it will devour the palaces of Kerioth; and Moab will die with tumult, with shouting, and with the sound of the trumpet;

kuom mano abiro oro mach e piny Moab mondo owangʼ kuonde mochiel motegno mag Kerioth. Jo-Moab biro tho ei lweny mager, ka jolweny giyo sigich lweny kendo tungʼ ywak.

3 and I will cut off the judge from their midst, and will kill all its officials with him," says Jehovah.

Abiro nego ruodh Moab kaachiel gi jotend pinyno duto,” Jehova Nyasaye owacho.

4 Thus says Jehovah: "For three transgressions of Judah, yes, for four, I will not turn away its punishment; because they have rejected Jehovah's law, and have not kept his statutes. Their false idols which they made, after which their fathers walked, have led them astray.

Jehova Nyasaye wacho niya, “Nikech richo adek ma jo-Juda osetimo, kata richo angʼwen, omiyo ok abi weyo ma ok akumogi. Nikech gisetamore rito chike Jehova Nyasaye kod buchene, kendo osewuondgi mi gisebaro giluwo bangʼ nyiseche manono mag kweregi,

5 But I will send a fire on Judah, and it will devour the palaces of Jerusalem."

kuom mano abiro oro mach e piny Juda, kod kuonde mochiel motegno mag Jerusalem.”

6 Thus says Jehovah: "For three transgressions of Israel, yes, for four, I will not turn away its punishment; because they have sold the righteous for silver, and the needy for a pair of shoes;

Jehova Nyasaye wacho niya, “Nikech richo adek ma jo-Israel osetimo, kata richo angʼwen, omiyo ok abi weyo ma ok akumogi. Nikech ungʼiewo joma kare gi fedha, to joma odhier ma ok nyal chudo, to ungʼiewo gi pat pat.

7 They trample on the dust of the earth on the head of the poor, and deny justice to the oppressed; and a man and his father use the same maiden, to profane my holy name;

Unyono jochan piny mana ka buru kendo ok ungʼad bura makare, ne joma odhier. Wuowi gi wuon mare terore gi nyako achiel kendo udwanyo Nyinga Maler.

8 and they lay themselves down beside every altar on clothes taken in pledge; and in the house of their God they drink the wine of those who have been fined.

Ginindo piny e lewni mosing but kende mag misango. Divai ma gikawo kuom joma gigoyo faini gimadho e od nyasachgi.

9 Yet I destroyed the Amorite before them, whose height was like the height of the cedars, and he was strong as the oaks; yet I destroyed his fruit from above, and his roots from beneath.

“Ne atieko jo-Amor mana ka gineno, kata obedo nine gin roboche ka yiend sida, kendo roteke ka yiend ober. Ne aketho olembene kod tiendene!

10 Also I brought you up out of the land of Egypt, and led you forty years in the wilderness, to possess the land of the Amorite.

Ne agolou e piny Misri, mi atelonu higni piero angʼwen e thim, ni mondo amiu piny jo-Amor.

11 I raised up some of your sons for prophets, and some of your young men for Nazirites. Isn't this true, you children of Israel?" says Jehovah.

“Ne awalo yawuotu mondo obed jonabi, to moko e dieru naketo mondo obed jo-Nazir. Donge mano en adier, yaye jo-Israel?” Jehova Nyasaye owacho.

12 "But you gave the Nazirites wine to drink, and commanded the prophets, saying, 'Do not prophesy.'

“Ne umiyo jo-Nazir omadho divai, kendo nukwero jonabi ni kik gikor wach.

13 Look, I will crush you in your place, as a cart crushes that is full of grain.

“Sani koro abiro diyou piny kama untie, mana ka cham mopongʼo gari mayiecho gari.

14 Flight will perish from the swift; and the strong won't strengthen his force; neither shall the mighty deliver himself;

Joma ongʼeyo ngʼwech sani koro ok bi tony, joma rateke abiro keto bedo mool, bende nyaka jalweny manenore ni ger ok bi konyo ngimane.

15 neither shall he stand who handles the bow; and he who is swift of foot won't escape; neither shall he who rides the horse deliver himself;

Kata jadir asere ok noyud thuolo mar ringo, kendo jangʼwech ma jalweny ok noresre, kaachiel gi jalweny moidho faras bende ok notony.

16 and he who is courageous among the mighty will flee away naked on that day," says Jehovah.

To kata mana jolweny mathuondi moloyo noring duge chiengʼno,” Jehova Nyasaye owacho.
