Amos 2

1 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.

Thus said YHWH: “For three transgressions of Moab, And for four, I do not reverse it, Because of his burning the bones of the king of Edom to lime,

2 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.

And I have sent a fire against Moab, And it has consumed the palaces of Kerioth, And Moab is dying with noise, With shouting, with voice of a horn.

3 Nga fah uniya mwet se ma leum in acn Moab, oayapa mwet kol nukewa in acn we.”

And I have cut off judge from her midst, And I slay all its heads with him,” said YHWH.

4 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.

Thus said YHWH: “For three transgressions of Judah, And for four, I do not reverse it, Because of their loathing the Law of YHWH, And His statutes they have not kept, And their lies cause them to err, After which their fathers walked,

5 Ke ma inge nga fah supwala e nu fin acn Judah ac esukak pot ku lun Jerusalem.”

And I have sent a fire against Judah, And it has consumed palaces of Jerusalem.”

6 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.

Thus said YHWH: “For three transgressions of Israel, And for four, I do not reverse it, Because of their selling the righteous for silver, And the needy for a pair of sandals.

7 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.

Who are panting for the dust of the earth on the head of the poor, And the way of the humble they turn aside, And a man and his father go to the girl, So as to defile My holy Name.

8 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.

And they stretch themselves on pledged garments near every altar, And the wine of fined ones they drink [in] the house of their gods.

9 “Tusruktu ke sripowos nga tuh kunausla nufon mwet Amor, mwet su arulana fulat oana sak cedar, ac fokoko oana sak oak.

And I have destroyed the Amorite from before them, Whose height [is] as the height of cedars, And he [is] strong as the oaks, And I destroy his fruit from above, And his roots from beneath.

10 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.

And I have brought you up from the land of Egypt, And cause you to go in a wilderness forty years, To possess the land of the Amorite.

11 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.

And I raise of your sons for prophets, And of your choice ones for Nazarites, Is this not true, O sons of Israel?” A declaration of YHWH.

12 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.

“And you cause the Nazarites to drink wine, And on the prophets you have laid a charge, Saying, Do not prophesy!

13 Inge nga fah toankowosi nu infohk uh, oana ke sie mwe wiwa su nwanala ke wheat inkeya acn uh.

Behold, I am pressing you under, As the full cart presses a sheaf for itself.

14 Finne mwet kasrusr mulah fah tia kaingla; mwet ku ac fah munasla, ac mwet mweun fah tia ku in molela moul lalos sifacna.

And refuge has perished from the swift, And the strong does not strengthens his power, And the mighty does not deliver his soul.

15 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.

And the handler of the bow does not stand, And the swift does not deliver [himself] with his feet, And the rider of the horse does not deliver his soul.

16 Finne mwet mweun na pulaik, elos ac sisla kufwen mweun natulos ac kaing in len sac.” Pa inge kas lun LEUM GOD.

And the courageous of heart among the mighty, Flees naked in that day,” A declaration of YHWH!
