Amos 2

1 Yahweh says: “For three transgressions of Moab, yes, for four, I will not turn away its punishment, because he burned the bones of the king of Edom into lime;

‌ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova, “Koeʻuhi ko e talangataʻa ʻe tolu ʻa Moape, mo hono fā, ʻe ʻikai te u fakaafe [hono tautea ʻo ia]; he naʻa ne taʻo ʻae ngaahi hui ʻae tuʻi ʻo ʻItomi ke lahe:

2 but I will send a fire on Moab, and it will devour the palaces of Kerioth; and Moab will die with tumult, with shouting, and with the sound of the trumpet;

Ka te u fekau ʻae afi ki Moape, pea te ne kai ʻo ʻosi ʻae ngaahi fale fakaʻeiʻeiki ʻo Kiliote: pea ʻe mate ʻa Moape ʻi he maveuveu, mo e kaila, pea mo e ongo ʻoe meʻalea:

3 and I will cut off the judge from among them, and will kill all its princes with him,” says Yahweh.

Pea te u motuhi ʻae fakamaau mei honau haʻohaʻonga, pea tāmateʻi ʻae houʻeiki kotoa pē mo ia:” ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova.”

4 Yahweh says: “For three transgressions of Judah, yes, for four, I will not turn away its punishment, because they have rejected Yahweh’s law, and have not kept his statutes, and their lies have led them astray, after which their fathers walked;

ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova; “Koeʻuhi ko e talangataʻa ʻe tolu ʻa Siuta, pea mo hono fā, ʻe ʻikai te u fakaafe hono [tautea ʻo ia]; he kuo nau vaʻinga ʻaki ʻae fono ʻa Sihova, pea naʻe ʻikai te nau tauhi ʻene ngaahi fekau, pea naʻa nau hē ko e meʻa ʻi heʻenau loi, ʻaia naʻe muimui ki ai ʻenau ngaahi tamai:

5 but I will send a fire on Judah, and it will devour the palaces of Jerusalem.”

Ka te u fekau ʻae afi ki Siuta, pea te ne kai ʻo ʻosi ʻae ngaahi fale fakaʻeiʻeiki ʻo Selūsalema.”

6 Yahweh says: “For three transgressions of Israel, yes, for four, I will not turn away its punishment, because they have sold the righteous for silver, and the needy for a pair of sandals;

ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova; “Koeʻuhi ko e talangataʻa ʻe tolu ʻa ʻIsileli, pea mo hono fā, ʻe ʻikai te u fakaafe [hono tautea ʻo ia]; he kuo nau fakatau ʻae kakai māʻoniʻoni ki he siliva, pea mo e kakai masiva ʻaki ha topuvaʻe;

7 They trample the heads of the poor into the dust of the earth and deny justice to the oppressed. A man and his father use the same maiden, to profane my holy name.

‌ʻAia ʻoku feinga ke ʻai ʻae efu ʻoe kelekele ʻi he ʻulu ʻoe kakai masiva, pea ʻoku fakahēʻi ʻae hala ʻoe angamalū: pea ko e tangata mo ʻene tamai ʻoku na mohe ki he fefine pe taha, ke fakaongokovi hoku huafa tāpuhā:

8 They lay themselves down beside every altar on clothes taken in pledge. In the house of their God they drink the wine of those who have been fined.

Pea ʻoku nau tokoto ʻi he ngaahi kofu ʻoku tuku ko e fakamoʻoni ki he totongi ʻi he veʻe feilaulauʻanga kotoa pē, pea ʻoku nau inu ʻae uaine ʻoe halaia ʻi he fale ʻo ʻenau tamapua.

9 Yet I destroyed the Amorite before them, whose height was like the height of the cedars, and he was strong as the oaks; yet I destroyed his fruit from above, and his roots from beneath.

Ka naʻaku fakaʻauha ʻae kakai ʻAmoli ʻi honau ʻao, ʻaia naʻe māʻolunga hangē ko e sita, pea naʻe mālohi hangē ko e oke; ka naʻaku fakaʻauha hono fua mei ʻolunga, pea mo hono aka ʻi lalo.

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 Amorite.

Pea naʻaku ʻomi foki ʻakimoutolu mei he fonua ko ʻIsipite, pea naʻaku tataki ʻakimoutolu ʻi he toafa ʻi he taʻu ʻe fāngofulu, ke maʻu ʻae fonua ʻoe kakai ʻAmoli.

11 I raised up some of your sons for prophets, and some of your young men for Nazirites. Isn’t this true, you children of Israel?” says Yahweh.

Pea naʻaku tuʻutuʻuni mei ho ngaahi foha ʻae kau palōfita, pea mei hoʻo kau talavou ʻae kakai naʻe fakamavahe. ʻIkai ʻoku pehē pe, ʻe fānau ʻa ʻIsileli?” ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova.

12 “But you gave the Nazirites wine to drink, and commanded the prophets, saying, ‘Don’t prophesy!’

“Ka naʻa mou ʻatu ʻae uaine ke inu ʻe he kau Fakamavahe; pea ne mou fekau ʻae kau palōfita, ʻo pehē, ‘ʻOua naʻa kikite.’

13 Behold, I will crush you in your place, as a cart crushes that is full of grain.

Vakai, ʻoku ou taʻomia ʻiate kimoutolu, hangē ko e saliote ʻi he ngaahi ʻū koane.

14 Flight will perish from the swift. The strong won’t strengthen his force. The mighty won’t deliver himself.

Ko ia ʻe mole ʻae faʻa lele mei he veʻe vave, pea ko e mālohi ʻe ʻikai te ne fakamālohiʻi ʻe ia ia; pea ʻe ʻikai fakahaofi ʻae mālohi ʻe ia ia:

15 He who handles the bow won’t stand. He who is swift of foot won’t escape. He who rides the horse won’t deliver himself.

Pea ʻe ʻikai tuʻu ia ʻoku ne teke ʻae kaufana; pea ʻe ʻikai fakahaofi ʻae veʻe vave ʻe ia ia: pea ko ia ʻoku heka hoosi ʻe ʻikai fakahaofi ʻe ia ia.

16 He who is courageous among the mighty will flee away naked on that day,” says Yahweh.

Pea ko ia ʻoku lototoʻa ʻi he kau mālohi te ne hola telefua ʻi he ʻaho ko ia,” ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova.
