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.

Hoe ty nafè’ Iehovà: Ty ami’ty fiolàñe telo’ i Moabe, naho i fahefa’ey le tsy hapoko ty fandilovañe aze, amy te niforototoe’e ho sokay ty taola’ i mpanjaka’ i Edomey;

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

aa le hañitrifako afo t’i Moabe, ze hampangotomomoke o anjomba’ i Kerioteo; le hikoromak’ ami’ty fivalitsikotahañe t’i Moabe, reketse fikoiakoiahañe naho ty fipopò’ i antsivay;

3 [and while] I am getting rid of its king and all its leaders. [That will surely happen because I], Yahweh, have said it!”

vaho haitoako añivo’e ao i mpizakay, le fonga hatraoko fizamanañe o roandria’eo, hoe t’Iehovà.

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].

Hoe ty nafè’ Iehovà: Ty ami’ty fiolàñe telo’ Iehoda, naho i fahèfa’ey le tsy hapoko ty fandilovañe aze, amy te tsinambolitio’ iareo o Tsara’ Iehovào naho tsy nambena’ iareo o fañè’eo, vaho nampandilatse iareo ty fandañira’ iareo ie nañaveloan-droae’ iareoo.

5 So I will cause a fire to completely burn [everything in] Judah, including the fortresses in Jerusalem.”

fe hamotraheko afo t’Iehoda, hamorototo o anjomba’ Ierosalaimeo.

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.

Hoe ty nafè’ Iehovà: Ty ami’ty fiolàñe telo’ Israele, naho i fah’efa’ey le tsy hapoko ty fandilovañe aze, amy te naleta’ iareo ho volafoty o vantañeo, naho ho hana o rarakeo;

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.

Dorodemohe’ iereo ami’ty debo’ ty tane toy ty añambone’ o rarakeo, naho mañolake ty lala’ o mpirekeo; ao ka t’indaty naho ty rae’e songa miolotse ami’ty somondrara raike, haniva ty añarako masiñe.

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!

Ie màndre añ’ila’ o kitrelio an-tsikiñe tsinoake, vaho minoñe ty divai’ o nandilovañeo an-kibohon-drahare’ iareo ao.

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.

F’izaho ty nanjamañe o nte Amoreo aolo’ iareo eo, ie nira ami’ty haabon-tsivokon-tsifake; nanahake o vaovio ty haozara’e; fa rinotsako o voa’e amboneo, naho o vaha’e ambaneo.

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.

Ie nakareko an-tane Mitsraime ao ka, naho niaoloako efa-polo taoñe am-pirangañe i fatrambeiy, soa te hanaña’ areo ty tane’ o nte Amoreo.

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!

Mbore nibeizeko ho mpitoky ty ila’ o ana’ areoo, naho ho nte Nazire ty ila’e, tsy to hao izay, ry ana’ Israeleo? hoe t’Iehovà.

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].

Fa nazi’ areo o nte Nazireo ty hinoñe divay, vaho linili’o o mpitokio ami’ty hoe: Ko mitoky.

13 So I will crush you like [SIM] [the wheels of] a wagon that is loaded with grain crushes [whatever it rolls over].

Inao t’ie ho tindrieko ambane manahake ty fanindrian-tsarete pea ampemba.

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.

Hilesa ty fivoratsaha’ o malisao, naho tsy hitoloñe ty haozara’ o fatratseo vaho tsy haharomba-piaiñe ty fanalolahy,

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.

mbore tsy hahafijohañe ty mpitàm-pale; naho tsy hahafioratse ty mahafilay am-pandia, naho tsy haharombak’aiñe ty mpiningi-tsoavala;

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.”

vaho hitriban-day tsy an-tsaroñe ty lahi-tsi-ai’ o fanalolahio, hoe t’Iehovà.
