Amosi 2
1 Tala liloba oyo Yawe alobi: « Likolo ya masumu misato to minei ya Moabi, nakozanga te kopesa bango etumbu, pamba te batumbaki mikuwa ya mokonzi ya Edomi mpe bakomisaki yango putulu.
The Lord says: For Moab’s three crimes – no, four! – I will not rescind my judgment. They have burned to lime the bones of the king of Edom,
2 Nakotia moto kati na ekolo ya Moabi, mpe moto yango ekozikisa bandako ya engumba ya Kerioti, oyo batonga makasi. Moabi ekokufa kati na lokito ya makasi, na makelele ya bitumba mpe ya kelelo.

7 Bazali konyata mito ya babola ndenge banyataka putulu ya mabele, mpe bazali kokata na bosembo te makambo ya bato bakelela. Tata mpe mwana na ye ya mobali bazali kosangisa nzoto na mwasi moko ya makangu; mpe na bongo, bazali kotiola bosantu ya Kombo na Ngai.
They trample on the head of the poor, push the humble out of the way. Father and son go to the same temple girl, and so profane my holy name.

They stretch themselves on garments taken in pledges beside every altar, and they drink the wine of those who have been fined in the house of their God.
9 Nzokande, Ngai, nabebisaki bato ya Amori liboso na bango, atako bazali milayi lokola banzete ya sedele mpe makasi lokola banzete ya sheni. Nabebisaki bambuma na yango na likolo, mpe misisa na yango na se.
It was I who destroyed the Amorites for your sake, whose height was like that of the cedars, as strong as oaks. I destroyed their fruit from above and their roots from below.

It was I who brought you up from the land of Egypt, led you forty years in the wilderness, brought you here to possess the land of the Amorites.

I raised up some of your sons to be prophets some of your youths to be Nazirites. Is not this indeed so, Israelites? says the Lord.
12 « Kasi bino, bolangwisi banaziri masanga mpe bopekisi basakoli ete basakola lisusu te.
But you made the Nazirites drink wine and banned the prophets from prophesying.
13 Sik’oyo, nakonyata bino ndenge shar oyo etonda na maboke ya bambuma enyataka biloko.
Listen! It is I who will make you groan in your places, as a wagon groans under its load of grain.

Then flight will fail the swift, and the strength of the strongest will be useless. The warrior will not save his life,
15 Mobeti tolotolo akolonga te, soda ya mpiko akokoka kokima te, mpe soda oyo atambolaka likolo ya mpunda akobikisa bomoi na ye te;
the archer will not stand firm, the swift of foot will not escape, the horseman will not save his life.
16 ezala basoda oyo baleki makasi, bakokima bolumbu na mokolo wana, » elobi Yawe.
The bravest of warriors will flee away naked in that day, says the Lord.
