Amos 2
1 Thus he says Yahweh on three transgressions of Moab and on four not I will revoke it because burned he [the] bones of [the] king of Edom into lime.
Hili ndilo asemalo Bwana: “Kwa dhambi tatu za Moabu, hata kwa dhambi nne, sitaizuia ghadhabu yangu. Kwa sababu alichoma mifupa ya mfalme wa Edomu, ikawa kama chokaa.
2 And I will send forth a fire on Moab and it will consume [the] fortresses of Kerioth and it will die in uproar Moab with a shout of alarm with [the] sound of a trumpet.
Nitatuma moto juu ya Moabu ambao utateketeza ngome za Keriothi. Moabu ataanguka kwa ghasia kubwa katikati ya vilio vya vita na mlio wa tarumbeta.
3 And I will cut off a judge from midst its and all officials its I will kill with him he says Yahweh.
Nitamwangamiza mtawala wake na kuwaua maafisa wake wote pamoja naye,” asema Bwana.
4 Thus he says Yahweh on three transgressions of Judah and on four not I will revoke it because have rejected they [the] law of Yahweh and statutes his not they have kept and they have misled them lies their which they walked ancestors their after them.
Hili ndilo asemalo Bwana: “Kwa dhambi tatu za Yuda, hata kwa dhambi nne, sitaizuia ghadhabu yangu. Kwa sababu wameikataa sheria ya Bwana na hawakuzishika amri zake, kwa sababu wamepotoshwa na miungu ya uongo, miungu ambayo babu zao waliifuata.
5 And I will send forth a fire on Judah and it will consume [the] fortresses of Jerusalem.
Nitatuma moto juu ya Yuda ambao utateketeza ngome za Yerusalemu.”
6 Thus he says Yahweh on three transgressions of Israel and on four not I will revoke it because sold they for silver [the] righteous and [the] needy for sake of a pair of sandals.
Hili ndilo asemalo Bwana: “Kwa dhambi tatu za Israeli, hata kwa dhambi nne, sitaizuia ghadhabu yangu. Wanawauza wenye haki kwa fedha, na maskini kwa jozi ya viatu.
7 Those [who] trample on [the] dust of [the] earth on [the] head of poor [people] and [the] way of humble [people] they turn aside and a man and father his they go into the young woman so as to profane [the] name of holiness my.
Wanakanyaga juu ya vichwa vya maskini, kama vile juu ya mavumbi ya nchi, na kukataa haki kwa walioonewa. Baba na mwanawe hushiriki msichana mmoja, kwa hivyo hulinajisi Jina langu takatifu.
8 And on garments taken in pledge they stretch out beside every altar and [the] wine of fines they drink [the] house of god their.
Watu hulala kando ya kila madhabahu juu ya nguo zilizowekwa rehani. Katika nyumba ya mungu wao hunywa mvinyo ulionunuliwa kwa fedha walizotozwa watu.
9 And I I destroyed the Amorite[s] from before them who [was] like [the] height of cedars height his and [is] strong he like oaks and I destroyed fruit his above and roots his beneath.
“Nilimwangamiza Mwamori mbele yao, ingawa alikuwa mrefu kama mierezi, na mwenye nguvu kama mialoni. Niliyaangamiza matunda yake juu na mizizi yake chini.
10 And I I brought up you from [the] land of Egypt and I led you in the wilderness forty year[s] to take possession of [the] land of the Amorite[s].
“Niliwapandisha toka Misri, na nikawaongoza miaka arobaini jangwani niwape nchi ya Waamori.
11 And I raised up some of sons your to prophets and some of young men your to Nazirites ¿ also not [is] this O people of Israel [the] utterance of Yahweh.
Pia niliinua manabii kutoka miongoni mwa wana wenu na Wanadhiri kutoka miongoni mwa vijana wenu. Je, hii si kweli, enyi watu wa Israeli?” asema Bwana.
12 And you made drink the Nazirites wine and to the prophets you commanded saying not you must prophesy.
“Lakini mliwafanya Wanadhiri kunywa mvinyo na kuwaamuru manabii wasitoe unabii.
13 Here! I [am] about to make totter under you just as it totters the cart full itself cut grain.
“Sasa basi, nitawaponda kama gari lipondavyo wakati limejazwa nafaka.
14 And it will be lost a place of escape from a swift [person] and a strong [person] not he will make firm power his and a mighty [person] not he will save life his.
Mkimbiaji hodari hatanusurika, wenye nguvu wataishiwa nguvu zao, na shujaa hataweza kuokoa maisha yake.
15 And [the] handler of the bow not he will stand and a [person] swift on feet his not he will save and [the] rider of the horse not he will save life his.
Mpiga upinde atakimbia, askari wapiga mbio hawataweza kutoroka, na mpanda farasi hataokoa maisha yake.
16 And [the] [person] strong of heart his among the warriors naked he will flee on the day that [the] utterance of Yahweh.
Hata askari walio mashujaa sana siku hiyo watakimbia uchi,” asema Bwana.
