Amos 2

1 The LORD 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;

Seyè a di konsa: Moun lavil Moab yo ap plede fè peche sou peche san rete. Mwen fin pran desizyon m', mwen p'ap chanje lide. Yo pa respekte zosman wa Edon an. Yo boule yo fè yo tounen sann.

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 shofar;

M'ap voye dife nan peyi Moab la. L'a boule gwo kay lavil Keriyòt yo ra tè. Moun Moab yo ap mouri nan mitan batay la, antan moun k'ap goumen yo ap rele byen fò, epi klewon ap kònen.

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

M'ap touye chèf k'ap gouvènen nan mitan yo ansanm ak tout lòt chèf ki nan peyi a. Se Seyè a menm ki di sa.

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

Seyè a di konsa: Moun peyi Jida yo ap plede fè peche sou peche san rete. Mwen fin pran desizyon m', mwen p'ap chanje lide. Yo voye sa mwen te moutre yo a jete. Yo p'ap fè sa m' te ba yo lòd fè a. Yo kite menm zidòl zansèt yo te sèvi a fè yo pèdi wout yo.

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

Se poutèt sa, m'ap voye dife nan peyi Jida a. L'a boule gwo kay lavil Jerizalèm yo ra tè.

6 The LORD 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;

Seyè a di konsa: Moun pèp Izrayèl yo ap plede fè peche sou peche san rete. Mwen fin pran desizyon m', mwen p'ap chanje lide. Yo pran moun serye ki pa ka peye dèt yo, yo vann yo tankou esklav. Yo pran pòv malere ki pa gen senk pou peye dèt yo, yo vann yo pou gremesi.

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.

Y'ap pilonnen malere anba pye yo. Y'ap fè pòv yo vin pi pòv. Papa kou pitit al dèyè fi k'ap sèvi nan kay la. Konsa, yo trennen non Bondye nan labou.

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.

Yo kouche bò lotèl yo sou rad moun te mete nan plan lakay yo. Nan tanp bondye yo a y'ap bwè bweson yo te fè moun bay pou amann.

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.

Men, nou menm pèp mwen, se pou nou mwen te detwi moun Amori yo nèt, yon bann moun ki te wo tankou pye palmis, ki te gen kouraj tankou pye bwadchenn. Mwen koupe branch yo ra tè. Mwen dechouke rasin yo.

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.

Mwen fè nou soti kite peyi Lejip. Mwen mennen nou pandan karantan nan dezè a. Mwen ban nou peyi moun Amori yo pou peyi pa nou.

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 the LORD.

Mwen te chwazi kèk nan pitit gason nou yo pou sèvi m' prèt, ak kèk nan jenn gason nou yo pou yo ka vin nazirit. Se pa konsa sa te fèt vre, moun Izrayèl? Se mwen menm, Seyè a, ki di sa.

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

Men, nou fè nazirit yo bwè diven, nou bay pwofèt yo lòd pou yo pa bay mesaj mwen ba yo pou pèp la.

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

Koulye a, mwen pral kraze nou anba pye m' menm jan yon kabwèt chaje ap foule tè.

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

Nou te mèt konn kouri, nou p'ap chape. Gwonèg kou nou gwonèg, sa p'ap sèvi nou anyen. Vanyan kou nou vanyan, nou p'ap ka sove pwòp tèt nou.

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.

Moun k'ap tire flèch yo p'ap ka rete kanpe. Moun k'ap kouri vit yo p'ap ka chape. Kavalye sou chwal p'ap ka sove lavi yo.

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

Jou sa a, ata sòlda ki pi vanyan yo ap lage zam yo atè, y'ap kouri met deyò tankou manman yo te fè yo. Se Seyè a menm ki di sa.
