< 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.
Waaqayyo akkana jedha: “Ani cubbuu Moʼaab sadiif, afuriifis dheekkamsa koo duubatti hin deebisu. Sababii inni lafee mootii Edoom gubee daaraa godheef,
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.
ani ibidda daʼannoo Keriiyooti barbadeessu tokko Moʼaabitti nan erga. Moʼaab iyya waraanaatii fi sagalee malakataatiin duʼa.
3 I will destroy the judge in her, and I will kill all the princes with him,” says Yahweh.
Ani bulchaa ishee ajjeesee qondaaltota ishee hundas isa wajjinin fixa” jedha Waaqayyo.
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.
Waaqayyo akkana jedha: “Ani cubbuu Yihuudaa sadiif, afuriifis dheekkamsa koo duubatti hin deebisu. Sababii isaan seera Waaqayyoo didanii ajaja isaas hin eeginiif, sababii isaan waaqota sobaa, waaqota abbootiin isaanii duukaa buʼan sanaan karaa irraa jalʼataniif,
5 I will send fire on Judah, and it will devour the fortresses of Jerusalem.”
ani ibidda daʼannoo Yerusaalem barbadeessu tokko Yihuudaatti nan erga.”
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.
Waaqayyo akkana jedha: “Ani cubbuu Israaʼel sadiif, afuriifis dheekkamsa koo duubatti hin deebisu. Isaan qajeeltota meetiitti, rakkattoota immoo kophee cimdii tokkotti gurguratan.
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.
Isaan akkuma biyyoo lafaatti mataa hiyyeeyyii irra ijaajjanii cunqurfamaas murtii qajeelaa dhowwatan. Abbaa fi ilmi durba tokkotti galanii akkasiin maqaa koo qulqulluu xureessan.
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.
Isaan uffata qabdiidhaan nama irraa fudhatan irra iddoo aarsaa hunda bira ciciisan. Isaan daadhii wayinii kan warra adabaman biraa dhufe, mana waaqa isaanii keessatti dhugu.
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.
“Inni akkuma birbirsaa dheeratee akka qilxuu jabaatu iyyuu, ani namicha Amoor sana fuula isaanii duratti galaafadheera. Ani gubbaadhaa ija isaa, jalaan immoo hidda isaa balleesseera.
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.
“Ani biyya Amoorotaa isiniif kennuuf jedhee, biyya Gibxiitii isin baasee waggaa afurtama gammoojjii keessa isinan geggeesse.
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.
“Akkasumas ani ilmaan keessan gidduudhaa raajota, dargaggoota keessan gidduudhaa immoo Naaziroota kaaseera. Yaa saba Israaʼel, wanni kun dhuguma mitii?” jedha Waaqayyo.
12 But you persuaded the Nazirites to drink wine and commanded the prophets not to prophesy.
“Isin garuu Naaziroota daadhii wayinii obaaftanii akka raajonnis raajii hin dubbanne ajajjan.
13 Look, I will crush you as a cart that is full of grain can crush someone.
“Ani akkuma gaariin yommuu midhaaniin guutamu caccabu sana, amma isinan caccabsa.
14 The swift will find no escape; the strong will not add to his own strength; neither will the mighty save himself.
Saffisaan hin miliqu; namoonni jajjaboon humna isaanii hin jabeeffatan; loltuunis lubbuu isaa hin oolfatu.
15 The archer will not stand; the fast runner will not escape; the horseman will not save himself.
Abbaan xiyyaa jabaatee dhaabachuu hin dandaʼu; loltuun saffisaan fiigee jalaa hin baʼu; abbaan fardaas lubbuu isaa oolfachuu hin dandaʼu.
16 Even the bravest warriors will flee naked in that day —this is Yahweh's declaration.”
Loltoonni akka malee jajjaboon iyyuu gaafas qullaa isaanii baqatu” jedha Waaqayyo.
