< 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 saith Jehovah: For three transgressions of Moab, And for four, will I not turn away his punishment; For he burned the bones of the king of Edom into 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.
But I will send a fire on Moab, Which shall devour the palaces of Kirioth; And Moab shall die amid tumults, Amid the war-shout, and the sound of the trumpet.
3 Nga fah uniya mwet se ma leum in acn Moab, oayapa mwet kol nukewa in acn we.”
I will destroy the judge from the midst of him, And slay all the princes with him, saith Jehovah.
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 saith Jehovah: For three transgressions of Judah, And for four, will I not turn away their punishment; For they have despised the law of Jehovah, And have not kept his statutes, And their idols have caused 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.”
But I will send a fire upon Judah, Which shall devour the 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 saith Jehovah: For three transgressions of Israel, And for four, will I not turn away their punishment. For they sell the righteous for silver, And the needy for a pair of shoes;
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.
They pant for the dust of the earth on the head of the poor, And pervert the cause of the afflicted. The son and the father go in to the same damsel, To dishonor 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.
They lay themselves down upon pledged garments Near every altar; And drink wine, procured by fines, 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.
Yet I destroyed the Amorites before them, Who were tall as the cedars, And strong as the oaks. I destroyed their fruit above, And their roots 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.
I brought you up from the land of Egypt, And led you in the desert forty years, That ye might 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.
Of your sons also I raised up prophets, And of your young men Nazarites; Is it not even so, O ye sons of Israel? saith Jehovah.
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.
But ye gave the Nazarites wine to drink, And commanded the prophets, Saying, Prophesy not!
13 Inge nga fah toankowosi nu infohk uh, oana ke sie mwe wiwa su nwanala ke wheat inkeya acn uh.
Behold, I will press you down, As a wagon presseth down that is full of sheaves.
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 flight shall fail the swift, And the strong shall not exert his strength, And the mighty shall not save his life,
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 he that handleth the bow shall not stand, And the swift of foot shall not save himself, And the horseman shall not escape with his life.
16 Finne mwet mweun na pulaik, elos ac sisla kufwen mweun natulos ac kaing in len sac.” Pa inge kas lun LEUM GOD.
He that is strong in heart among the mighty Shall, in that day, flee away naked, saith Jehovah.
