Amos 2
1 Yahweh [also] said this: “[I will punish the people of] Moab because of the many sins [that they have committed]; I will not change my mind about punishing them, because they [dug up] the bones of the king of Edom and burned them completely, with the result that [the ashes became as white] as lime.
Beginilah firman TUHAN: "Karena tiga perbuatan jahat Moab, bahkan empat, Aku tidak akan menarik kembali keputusan-Ku: Oleh karena ia telah membakar tulang-tulang raja Edom menjadi kapur,
2 So I will cause a fire to completely burn the fortresses of Kerioth [city in Moab]. [People will hear soldiers] shouting and blowing trumpets [loudly] while I am causing Moab to be destroyed
Aku akan melepas api ke dalam Moab, sehingga puri Keriot dimakan habis; Moab akan mati di dalam kegaduhan, diiringi sorak-sorai pada saat sangkakala berbunyi;
3 [and while] I am getting rid of its king and all its leaders. [That will surely happen because I], Yahweh, have said it!”
Aku akan melenyapkan penguasa dari antaranya dan membunuh segala pembesarnya bersama-sama dengan dia," firman TUHAN.
4 Yahweh [also] said this: “[I will also punish the people of] Judah because of the many sins [that they have committed]; I will not change my mind about punishing them, because they have rejected what I taught them and they have not obeyed my commands. They have been deceived [and persuaded to worship false gods], the same [gods] that their ancestors [worshiped].
Beginilah firman TUHAN: "Karena tiga perbuatan jahat Yehuda, bahkan empat, Aku tidak akan menarik kembali keputusan-Ku: Oleh karena mereka telah menolak hukum TUHAN, dan tidak berpegang pada ketetapan-ketetapan-Nya, tetapi disesatkan oleh dewa-dewa kebohongannya, yang diikuti oleh nenek moyangnya,
5 So I will cause a fire to completely burn [everything in] Judah, including the fortresses in Jerusalem.”
Aku akan melepas api ke dalam Yehuda, sehingga puri Yerusalem dimakan habis."
6 Yahweh [also] said this: “[I will punish the people of] Israel because of the many sins [that they have committed]; I will not change my mind about punishing them, because they sell righteous [people] to get [a small amount of] silver; they sell poor [people, causing them to become slaves], getting for [each of] them [only the amount of money with which they could buy] a pair of sandals.
Beginilah firman TUHAN: "Karena tiga perbuatan jahat Israel, bahkan empat, Aku tidak akan menarik kembali keputusan-Ku: Oleh karena mereka menjual orang benar karena uang dan orang miskin karena sepasang kasut;
7 [It is as though] they trample the poor people into the dirt and do not allow those who are helpless to be treated fairly. Men and their fathers dishonor me [MTY] by both having sex [EUP] with the same [slave] girl.
mereka menginjak-injak kepala orang lemah ke dalam debu dan membelokkan jalan orang sengsara; anak dan ayah pergi menjamah seorang perempuan muda, sehingga melanggar kekudusan nama-Ku;
8 [When poor people borrow money], [the lenders force those people to give to them a piece of clothing] for them to keep until he can pay back the money. [But at the end of each day, instead of returning that garment as Yahweh had commanded them to], they lie down on that garment at the places where they worship [their gods]! They fine people, and with that money [they buy] wine and drink it in the temples of their gods!
mereka merebahkan diri di samping setiap mezbah di atas pakaian gadaian orang, dan minum anggur orang-orang yang kena denda di rumah Allah mereka.
9 [Long ago, ] to assist your ancestors, I got rid of the Amor people-group. They [seemed to be] as tall as cedar [trees] and as strong as oak [trees], but I got rid of them completely, [as easily as someone cuts off] [MET] the branches of a tree and then digs out all its roots.
Padahal Akulah yang memunahkan dari depan mereka, orang Amori, yang tingginya seperti tinggi pohon aras dan yang kuat seperti pohon tarbantin; Aku telah memunahkan buahnya dari atas dan akarnya dari bawah.
10 I brought your [ancestors] out of Egypt, and [then] I led them through the desert for 40 years. And then I enabled them to conquer/possess the Amor area.
Padahal Akulah yang menuntun kamu keluar dari tanah Mesir dan memimpin kamu empat puluh tahun lamanya di padang gurun, supaya kamu menduduki negeri orang Amori;
11 I chose some of you Israelis to be prophets, and I chose others to be Nazir-men [who were completely dedicated to me]. You people of Israel certainly [RHQ] know that what I have said is true!
Aku telah membangkitkan sebagian dari anak-anakmu menjadi nabi dan sebagian dari teruna-terunamu menjadi nazir. Bukankah betul-betul begitu, hai orang Israel?" demikianlah firman TUHAN.
12 But you commanded the prophets to not speak the messages that [I gave to] them, and you persuaded the Nazir-men to drink wine, [which I told them never to do].
"Tetapi kamu memberi orang nazir minum anggur dan memerintahkan kepada para nabi: Jangan kamu bernubuat!
13 So I will crush you like [SIM] [the wheels of] a wagon that is loaded with grain crushes [whatever it rolls over].
Sesungguhnya, Aku akan mengguncangkan tempat kamu berpijak seperti goncangan kereta yang sarat dengan berkas gandum.
14 [Even] if you run fast, you will not escape; [even] if you are strong, [it will be as though] you are weak, and warriors will be unable to save themselves.
Orang cepat tidak mungkin lagi melarikan diri, orang kuat tidak dapat menggunakan kekuatannya, dan pahlawan tidak dapat melarikan diri.
15 [Even] if you are able to shoot arrows [well], you will be forced to retreat [LIT]; [even] if you run fast or if you ride [away] on a horse, you will not [be able to] save yourself.
Pemegang panah tidak dapat bertahan, orang yang cepat kaki tidak akan terluput dan penunggang kuda tidak dapat meluputkan diri.
16 [Even] warriors who are very brave will drop their weapons when they try to flee on the day [that I get rid of them]. [That will surely happen because I], Yahweh, have said it.”
Juga orang yang berhati berani di antara para pahlawan akan melarikan diri dengan telanjang pada hari itu," demikianlah firman TUHAN.
