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.
Estas son las palabras del Señor: por tres crímenes de Moab, y por cuatro, no revocare su castigo; porque tenía los huesos del rey de Edom quemados en ceniza.
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
Y enviaré fuego a Moab, quemando las grandes casas de Queriot; y la muerte vendrá sobre Moab con ruido y clamores y el sonido de la bocina.
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 haré que el juez sea separado de entre ellos, y mataré a todos sus capitanes con él, dice el Señor.
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].
Estas son las palabras del Señor: por tres crímenes de Judá, y por cuatro, no revocaré su castigo; porque han abandonado la ley del Señor y no han guardado sus reglas; y sus falsos caminos, en los que fueron sus padres, los hicieron salir del camino correcto.
5 So I will cause a fire to completely burn [everything in] Judah, including the fortresses in Jerusalem.”
Y enviaré fuego a Judá, quemando 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.
Estas son las palabras del Señor: por tres crímenes de Israel, y por cuatro, no revocaré su castigo; porque han vendido al justo por plata, y al pobre por el precio de dos zapatos;
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.
Los que pisotean en el polvo de la tierra la cabeza de los pobres, y desviando los pasos de los gentiles; y un hombre y su padre se acuestan con la misma joven, profanando 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!
En cada altar se extienden sobre la ropa que recibieron en prenda, bebiendo en la casa de sus dioses el vino de los condenados.
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.
Aunque envié destrucción sobre el amorreo que tenía delante, que era alto como el cedro y fuerte como el roble, cortando su fruto de lo alto y sus raíces debajo de la tierra.
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.
Y te saqué de la tierra de Egipto, guiándote por cuarenta años en la tierra baldía, para que tomes como herencia la tierra del amorreo.
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!
Y a algunos de tus hijos los hice profetas, y a algunos de tus jóvenes nazareos, consagrados para mi. ¿No es así, oh hijos de Israel? dice el Señor.
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 a los nazareos les diste vino para beber; y a los profetas les dijiste: No profetices.
13 So I will crush you like [SIM] [the wheels of] a wagon that is loaded with grain crushes [whatever it rolls over].
Mira, te estoy aplastando, como uno es aplastado bajo un carro 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.
Y la huida será imposible para los de paso rápido, y la fuerza de los fuertes se debilitará, y el hombre de guerra no se escapará con seguridad.
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.
Y el arquero no guardará su lugar; el que es ágil no se escapará con seguridad, y el jinete no mantendrá su vida.
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.”
Y aquel que no tenga miedo entre los guerreros, huirá sin su ropa en ese día, dice el Señor.
