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.
diz Yahweh: “Para três transgressões de Moab, sim, para quatro”, Eu não vou recusar sua punição, porque ele queimou os ossos do rei de Edom em cal;
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
mas vou mandar um incêndio em Moab, e devorará os palácios de Kerioth; e Moab morrerá com tumulto, com gritos, e com o som da trombeta;
3 [and while] I am getting rid of its king and all its leaders. [That will surely happen because I], Yahweh, have said it!”
e eu cortarei o juiz de entre eles, e matará todos os seus príncipes com ele”. diz Yahweh.
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].
diz Yahweh: “Para três transgressões de Judá, sim, para quatro, Eu não vou recusar sua punição, porque eles rejeitaram a lei de Yahweh, e não mantiveram seus estatutos, e suas mentiras os desviaram do caminho, depois do qual seus pais caminharam;
5 So I will cause a fire to completely burn [everything in] Judah, including the fortresses in Jerusalem.”
but Vou mandar um incêndio contra Judah, e devorará os palácios de Jerusalém”.
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.
diz Yahweh: “Para três transgressões de Israel, sim, para quatro”, Eu não vou recusar sua punição, porque eles venderam os justos por prata, e os necessitados por um par de sandálias;
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.
Eles pisam a cabeça dos pobres para o pó da terra e negar justiça aos oprimidos. Um homem e seu pai usam a mesma donzela, para profanar meu santo nome.
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!
Eles se deitam ao lado de cada altar sobre roupas levadas em penhor. Na casa de seu Deus, eles bebem o vinho daqueles que foram multados.
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.
Yet Eu destruí o Amorito antes deles, cuja altura era como a altura dos cedros, e ele era forte como os carvalhos; no entanto, destruí seus frutos lá de cima, e suas raízes a partir de baixo.
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.
Também o tirei da terra do Egito e o conduziu por quarenta anos no deserto, para possuir a terra do Amorita.
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!
Eu criei alguns de seus filhos para profetas, e alguns de seus jovens para os nazistas. Isto não é verdade? vocês, filhos de Israel?” diz Yahweh.
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].
“Mas você deu aos nazistas vinho para beber, e ordenou aos profetas, dizendo: “Não profetizem!
13 So I will crush you like [SIM] [the wheels of] a wagon that is loaded with grain crushes [whatever it rolls over].
Eis que eu o esmagarei em seu lugar, como uma carroça que está cheia de grãos.
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.
Vôo perecerá do rápido. O forte não fortalecerá sua força. O poderoso não se entrega sozinho.
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.
Aquele que maneja o arco não vai ficar de pé. Aquele que é rápido de pés não escapará. Aquele que monta o cavalo não se entrega sozinho.
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.”
Aquele que é corajoso entre os poderosos fugirão nus naquele dia”. diz Yahweh.
