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.
Yahvé dice: “Por tres transgresiones de Moab, sí, por cuatro, No rechazaré su castigo, porque quemó los huesos del rey de Edom hasta convertirlos en 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
pero enviaré un fuego sobre Moab, y devorará los palacios de Kerioth; y Moab morirá con tumulto, con gritos y con el sonido de la trompeta;
3 [and while] I am getting rid of its king and all its leaders. [That will surely happen because I], Yahweh, have said it!”
y cortaré al juez de entre ellos, y matará a todos sus príncipes con él”. dice Yahvé.
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].
Yahvé dice: “Por tres transgresiones de Judá, sí, por cuatro, No rechazaré su castigo, porque han rechazado la ley de Yahvé, y no han guardado sus estatutos, y sus mentiras los han llevado por el mal camino, tras la cual caminaron sus padres;
5 So I will cause a fire to completely burn [everything in] Judah, including the fortresses in Jerusalem.”
pero enviaré un fuego sobre Judá, y devorará los palacios de Jerusalén”.
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.
Yahvé dice: “Por tres transgresiones de Israel, sí, por cuatro, No rechazaré su castigo, porque han vendido a los justos por plata, y a los necesitados por un par de sandalias;
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.
Pisotean las cabezas de los pobres en el polvo de la tierra y negar la justicia a los oprimidos. Un hombre y su padre usan la misma doncella, para profanar mi santo nombre.
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!
Se acostaron junto a cada altar sobre ropas tomadas en prenda. En la casa de su Dios beben el vino de los 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.
Sin embargo, yo destruí al amorreo ante ellos, cuya altura era como la de los cedros, y era fuerte como los robles; sin embargo, destruí su fruto desde arriba, y sus raíces desde abajo.
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.
También te saqué de la tierra de Egipto y te condujo cuarenta años por el desierto, para poseer la tierra de los amorreos.
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!
Yo levanté a algunos de tus hijos como profetas, y a algunos de sus jóvenes como nazireos. ¿No es esto cierto? ¿Israel, hijos de Israel?”, dice Yahvé.
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].
“Pero tú les diste de beber vino a los nazireos, y ordenó a los profetas, diciendo: “¡No profeticen!
13 So I will crush you like [SIM] [the wheels of] a wagon that is loaded with grain crushes [whatever it rolls over].
He aquí que te aplastaré en tu lugar, como aplasta un carro que está lleno de grano.
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.
La huida perecerá de los veloces. El fuerte no fortalecerá su fuerza. El poderoso no se entregará.
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.
El que maneja el arco no se sostiene. El que es rápido de pies no escapará. El que monta el caballo no se libra.
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.”
El que es valiente entre los poderosos huirán desnudos ese día”. dice Yahvé.
