< Amos 2 >
1 Kastoy ti kuna ni Yahweh: “Gapu iti tallo a basol ti Moab, wenno gapu iti uppat, saanko nga ibabawi ti pannusa gapu ta pinuoranna dagiti tulang ti ari ti Edom agingga a nagbalin nga apug.
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;
2 Mangidissuorakto iti apuy idiay Moab ket daytoyto ti mangkisap kadagiti sarikedked ti Keriot. Matayto ti Moab iti maysa nga arimbangaw nga adda panagpupukkaw ken panaguni iti trumpeta.
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;
3 Dadaelekto ti ukom nga adda kenkuana ket patayekto amin dagiti prinsipe a kaduana,” kuna ni Yahweh.
and I will cut off the judge from among them, and will kill all its princes with him,” says the LORD.
4 Kastoy ti kuna ni Yahweh: “Gapu iti tallo a basol ti Juda, wenno gapu iti uppat, saanko nga ibabawi ti pannusa gapu ta linaksidda ti linteg ni Yahweh ken saanda a tinungpal dagiti bilinna. Dagiti kinaulbodda ti nangiyaw-awan kadakuada a kas iti dalan a napanan dagiti ammada.
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;
5 Mangidissuorakto iti apuy idiay Juda ket mapuoranto a mamimpinsan dagiti sarikedked ti Jerusalem.”
but I will send a fire on Judah, and it will devour the palaces of Jerusalem.”
6 Kastoy ti kiuna ni Yahweh: “Gapu iti tallo a basol ti Israel, wenno gapu iti uppat, saanko nga ibabawi ti pannusa gapu ta inlakoda ti awan basolna gapu iti pirak ken dagiti agkasapulan gapu iti sangapares a sandalias.
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;
7 Badbaddekanda ti ulo dagiti marigrigat a kas iti pangibaddek dagiti tattao iti tapok ti daga; iwalwalinda ti maidaddadanes. Kakaiddaen ti ama ken ti putotna a lalaki ti maymaysa a babai ket rugrugitanda ti nasantoan a naganko.
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.
8 Iti abay ti tunggal altar, agid-idada iti rabaw dagiti kawes nga inalada a kas salda, ken iti balay ti Diosda, in-inumenda ti arak dagiti nagmulta.
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.
9 Nupay kasta, dinadaelko ti Amoreo iti sangoananda, a ti tayagna ket kas iti tayag dagiti sedro; napigsa a kas kadagiti lugo. Nupay kasta, dinadaelko ti bungana iti ngato ken dagiti ramutna iti baba.
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.
10 Inruarkayo pay idiay daga ti Egipto ken indaldalankayo idiay let-ang iti uppat a pulo a tawen tapno tagikuaenyo ti daga dagiti Amorreo.
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.
11 Nangpataudak kadagiti profeta manipud kadagiti annakyo a lallaki ken kadagiti Nazireo manipud kadagiti agtutuboyo a lallaki. Saan kadi, tattao ti Israel? —daytoy ti pakaammo ni Yahweh.”
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.
12 “Ngem inallukoyyo dagiti Nazireo nga uminum iti arak ken binilinyo dagiti profeta a saanda nga agipadto.
“But you gave the Nazirites wine to drink, and commanded the prophets, saying, ‘Don’t prophesy!’
13 Kitaenyo, rumekenkayonto a kas iti panangrumek ti maysa a kariton a napno iti bukbukel iti maysa a tao.
Behold, I will crush you in your place, as a cart crushes that is full of grain.
14 Saanto a makalibas ti tao a napardas; ti tao a nabileg, saannanto a manayonan ti kinapigsana; ti tao a nasiglat, saananto a maisalakan ti bagina.
Flight will perish from the swift. The strong won’t strengthen his force. The mighty won’t deliver himself.
15 Saanto a makatakder ti pumapana; saanto a makalibas ti tao a napardas nga agtaray; ti tao a nakakabalio ket saananto a maisalakan ti bagina.
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.
16 Uray dagiti katuredan a mannakigubat ket agtarayto a lamolamo iti dayta nga aldaw—daytoy ti pakaammo ni Yahweh.”
He who is courageous among the mighty will flee away naked on that day,” says the LORD.
