< Amos 2 >

1 This is what Yahweh says: “For three sins of Moab, even for four, I will not turn away punishment, because he burned the bones of the king of Edom to lime.
LEUM GOD El fahk, “Mwet Moab elos kalweni na in oru ma koluk, ac ke sripa inge pwayena nga fah kalyaelos. Elos aklusrongtenye srin tokosra lun Edom ke elos esukla nwe ke apatla.
2 I will send fire on Moab, and it will devour the fortresses of Kerioth. Moab will die in an uproar, with shouting and the sound of the trumpet.
Nga fah supwala e nu fin acn Moab ac esukak pot ku lun siti srisrik Kerioth. Mwet Moab fah misa ke ngisyak lun mweun, pacl mwet mweun elos sasa ac mwe ukuk uh kas.
3 I will destroy the judge in her, and I will kill all the princes with him,” says Yahweh.
Nga fah uniya mwet se ma leum in acn Moab, oayapa mwet kol nukewa in acn we.”
4 This is what Yahweh says: “For three sins of Judah, even for four, I will not turn away punishment, because they rejected the law of Yahweh and did not keep his statutes. Their lies caused them to go astray, after which their fathers had also walked.
LEUM GOD El fahk, “Mwet Judah elos kalweni na in oru ma koluk, ac ke sripa inge pwayena nga fah kalyaelos. Elos srunga lohng mwe luti luk ac tia akos ma sap luk. Elos aktafongyeyukla sin god sutuu ma mwet matu lalos tuh kulansupu.
5 I will send fire on Judah, and it will devour the fortresses of Jerusalem.”
Ke ma inge nga fah supwala e nu fin acn Judah ac esukak pot ku lun Jerusalem.”
6 This is what Yahweh says: “For three sins of Israel, even for four, I will not turn away punishment, because they sold the innocent for silver and the needy for a pair of sandals.
LEUM GOD El fahk, “Mwet Israel elos kalweni na in oru ma koluk, ac ke sripa inge pwayena nga fah kalyaelos. Elos kukakin mwet orekma suwohs, su tia ku in akfalye soemoul la, nu ke mwet kohs, aok mwet sukasrup su tia ku in molela sunun sori se.
7 They trample on the heads of the poor as people trample on dust on the ground; they push the oppressed away. A man and his father sleep with the same girl and so profane my holy name.
Elos akkeokye mwet munas ac mwet mukaimtal, ac sinukunla mwet sukasrup. Sie mukul ac papa tumal tukeni na fahsri mutan fusr se na in akkolukyal. Ma inge aktaekye ine mutal luk.
8 They lie down beside every altar on clothes taken as pledges, and in the house of their God they drink the wine of those who were fined.
Ke acn in alu nukewa, mukul uh oan fin nuknuk ma elos eisla sin mwet sukasrup uh. Nuknuk inge ma in oan soano pacl se akfalyeyukla soemoul lun mwet sukasrup. Ac in Tempul lun God lalos elos nim wain ma elos eisla sin mwet ma soemoul ke mani nu selos.
9 Yet I destroyed the Amorite before them, whose height was like the height of cedars; he was strong as the oaks. Yet I destroyed his fruit above and his roots below.
“Tusruktu ke sripowos nga tuh kunausla nufon mwet Amor, mwet su arulana fulat oana sak cedar, ac fokoko oana sak oak.
10 Also, I brought you up out of the land of Egypt and led you forty years in the wilderness to possess the land of the Amorites.
Nga uskowosme liki facl Egypt, pwen kowos sasla yen mwesis ke yac angngaul, ac sot nu suwos acn sin mwet Amor tuh in ma lowos.
11 I raised up prophets from among your sons and Nazirites from your young men. Is it not so, people of Israel? —this is Yahweh's declaration.
Nga sulela kutu sin wen nutuwos in mwet palu, ac kutu sin mwet fusr nutuwos in mwet Nazirite. Mwet Israel, ya pwaye lah ouinge? Nga, Leum God, fahk ouinge.
12 But you persuaded the Nazirites to drink wine and commanded the prophets not to prophesy.
A kowos oru mwet Nazirite ingan in nim wain ac kunausla wulela lalos, ac sang sap ku nu sin mwet palu in tia fahkak kas luk.
13 Look, I will crush you as a cart that is full of grain can crush someone.
Inge nga fah toankowosi nu infohk uh, oana ke sie mwe wiwa su nwanala ke wheat inkeya acn uh.
14 The swift will find no escape; the strong will not add to his own strength; neither will the mighty save himself.
Finne mwet kasrusr mulah fah tia kaingla; mwet ku ac fah munasla, ac mwet mweun fah tia ku in molela moul lalos sifacna.
15 The archer will not stand; the fast runner will not escape; the horseman will not save himself.
Mwet pisr uh fah kaingla liki acn elos tu we. Mwet mui fah tia ku in kaingla, ac mwet kasrusr fin horse fah tia ku in sifacna molelosla.
16 Even the bravest warriors will flee naked in that day —this is Yahweh's declaration.”
Finne mwet mweun na pulaik, elos ac sisla kufwen mweun natulos ac kaing in len sac.” Pa inge kas lun LEUM GOD.
