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.
Ganito ang sabi ng Panginoon: Dahil sa tatlong pagsalangsang ng Moab, oo, dahil sa apat, hindi ko ihihiwalay ang kaparusahan sa kaniya; sapagka't kaniyang sinunog ang mga buto ng hari sa Edom na pinapaging apog.
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
Nguni't ako'y magsusugo ng isang apoy sa Moab, at susupukin niyaon ang mga palacio ng Cherioth; at ang Moab ay mamamatay na may kaingay, may hiyawan, at may tunog ng pakakak.
3 [and while] I am getting rid of its king and all its leaders. [That will surely happen because I], Yahweh, have said it!”
At aking ihihiwalay ang hukom sa gitna niyaon, at papatayin ko ang lahat na prinsipe niyaon na kasama niya, sabi ng Panginoon.
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].
Ganito ang sabi ng Panginoon: Dahil sa tatlong pagsalangsang ng Juda, oo, dahil sa apat, hindi ko ihihiwalay ang kaparusahan sa kaniya; sapagka't kanilang itinakuwil ang kautusan ng Panginoon, at hindi iningatan ang kaniyang mga palatuntunan, at iniligaw sila ng kanilang mga pagbubulaan, ayon sa inilakad ng kanilang mga magulang.
5 So I will cause a fire to completely burn [everything in] Judah, including the fortresses in Jerusalem.”
Nguni't magsusugo ako ng isang apoy sa Juda; at susupukin niyaon ang mga palacio ng Jerusalem.
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.
Ganito ang sabi ng Panginoon, Dahil sa tatlong pagsalangsang ng Israel, oo, dahil sa apat, hindi ko ihihiwalay ang kaparusahan sa kaniya; sapagka't kanilang ipinagbili ang matuwid dahil sa pilak, at ang mapagkailangan sa dalawang paang panyapak;
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.
Na iniimbot ang alabok sa lupa na nasa ulo ng dukha, at inililiko ang lakad ng maamo: at ang magama ay sumisiping sa isang dalaga, upang lapastanganin ang aking banal na pangalan:
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!
At sila'y nangahihiga sa tabi ng lahat na dambana, sa ibabaw ng mga kasuutang sangla; at sa bahay ng kanilang Dios ay nagsisiinom ng alak ng mga multa.
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.
Gayon ma'y nililipol ko ang Amorrheo sa harap nila, na ang taas ay gaya ng taas ng mga cedro, at siya'y malakas na gaya ng mga encina; gayon ma'y nilipol ko ang kaniyang bunga sa itaas, at ang kaniyang mga ugat sa ilalim.
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.
Iniahon ko rin kayo sa lupain ng Egipto, at pinatnubayan ko kayong apat na pung taon sa ilang, upang ariin ninyo ang lupain ng Amorrheo.
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!
At nagbangon ako sa inyong mga anak ng mga propeta, at sa inyong mga binata ng mga Nazareo. Di baga gayon, Oh kayong mga anak ng Israel? sabi ng Panginoon.
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].
Nguni't binigyan ninyo ang mga Nazareo ng alak na maiinom, at inutusan ninyo ang mga propeta, na sinasabi, Huwag kayong manganghuhula.
13 So I will crush you like [SIM] [the wheels of] a wagon that is loaded with grain crushes [whatever it rolls over].
Narito, aking huhutukin kayo sa inyong dako, na gaya ng isang karong nahuhutok na puno ng mga bigkis.
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.
At ang pagtakas ay mapapawi sa matulin; at ang malakas ay hindi makaaasa sa kaniyang kalakasan; ni ang makapangyarihan man ay makapagliligtas sa sarili;
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.
Ni makatitindig man siyang humahawak ng busog; at siyang matulin sa paa ay hindi makaliligtas; ni siya mang nakasakay sa kabayo ay makaliligtas:
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.”
At siya na matapang sa mga makapangyarihan ay tatakas na hubad sa araw na yaon, sabi ng Panginoon.
