< Amos 2 >

1 Deɛ Awurade seɛ nie: “Moab ayɛ bɔne bebree ama no atra so, ɛno enti, merennane mʼabufuo. Ɔhyee Edomhene nnompe, ma ɛdanee nsõ.
The Lord God seith these thingis, On thre grete trespassis of Moab, and on foure, Y schal not conuerte it, for it brente the boonys of the kyng of Idumee til to aische.
2 Mede ogya bɛto Moab mu, na ahye Keriot aban. Moab bɛhwe ase wɔ hooyɛ, ɔko nteateamu ne totorobɛnto nnyegyeeɛ mu.
And Y schal sende fier in to Moab, and it schal deuoure the housis of Carioth; and Moab schal die in sown, in the noise of a trumpe.
3 Mɛsɛe ne sodifoɔ na makunkum ne mmapɔmma aka ne ho,” sɛdeɛ Awurade seɛ nie.
And Y schal leese a iuge of the myddis therof, and Y schal sle with it alle the princes therof, seith the Lord.
4 Deɛ Awurade seɛ nie: “Yuda ayɛ bɔne bebree ama no atra so, ɛno enti, merennane mʼabufuo. Wɔapo Awurade mmara no na wɔanni nʼahyɛdeɛ so ɛfiri sɛ atorɔ anyame no ama wɔafom ɛkwan no, anyame a wɔn nananom dii akyire no.
The Lord seith these thingis, On thre grete trespassis of Juda, and on foure, Y schal not conuerte hym, for he hath caste awei the lawe of the Lord, and kepte not the comaundementis of hym; for her idols, after whiche the fadris of hem yeden, disseyueden hem.
5 Mede ogya bɛto Yuda mu na ahye Yerusalem aban.”
And Y schal sende fier in to Juda, and it schal deuoure the housis of Jerusalem.
6 Deɛ Awurade seɛ nie: “Israel ayɛ bɔne bebree ama no atra so, ɛno enti, merennane mʼabufuo. Wɔtɔn ateneneefoɔ de gye dwetɛ, ne ahiafoɔ de gye mpaboa.
The Lord seith these thingis, On thre grete trespassis of Israel, and on foure, Y schal not conuerte hym, for that that he seelde a iust man for siluer, and a pore man for schoon.
7 Wɔtiatia ahiafoɔ so te sɛ deɛ wɔyɛ fam mfuturo na wɔma atɛntenenee bɔ mmɔborɔwafoɔ. Agya ne ne ba ne ɔbaa baako da de gu me din kronkron no ho fi.
Whiche al to-foulen the heedis of pore men on the dust of erthe, and bowen awei the weie of meke men; and the sone and his fadir yeden to a damesele, that thei schulden defoule myn hooli name.
8 Wɔdeda afɔrebukyia biara ho wɔ wɔn awowa ntoma so. Wɔ wɔn anyame efie no mu no wɔnom nsã a wɔagye sɛ mmaratodeɛ.
And thei eeten on clothis leid to wedde bisidis ech auter, and drunken the wyn of dampned men in the hous of her God.
9 “Mesɛee Amorifoɔ no wɔ wɔn anim, ɛwom sɛ wɔware te sɛ ntweneduro. Wɔn ho nso yɛ den sɛ odum. Mesɛee nʼaba wɔ ne soro, ne ne nhini wɔ nʼase.
Forsothe Y distriede Ammorrei fro the face of hem, whos hiynesse was the hiynesse of cedris, and he was strong as an ook; and Y al to-brak the fruyt of hym aboue, and the rootis of hym bynethe.
10 Meyii wo firii Misraim, na medii wʼanim mfirinhyia aduanan wɔ ɛserɛ so sɛdeɛ mede Amorifoɔ asase bɛma wo.
Y am, that made you to stie fro the lond of Egipt, and ledde you out in desert bi fourti yeer, that ye schulden welde the lond of Ammorrei.
11 Meyiyii mo mmammarima no bi yɛɛ wɔn adiyifoɔ, ne mo mmeranteɛ binom sɛ Nasarefoɔ. Na ɛnte saa anaa, Israelfoɔ?” Deɛ Awurade bisa nie.
And Y reiside of youre sones in to profetis, and Nayareis of youre yonge men. Whether it is not so, ye sones of Israel? seith the Lord.
12 “Nanso momaa Nasarefoɔ no nom nsã na mohyɛɛ adiyifoɔ no sɛ wɔnnhyɛ nkɔm.
And ye birliden wyn to Nayareis, and comaundiden to profetis, and seiden, Profecie ye not.
13 “Na afei, mɛdwerɛ mo sɛdeɛ teaseɛnam a aduane ayɛ no ma mia asase no.
Lo! Y schal charke vndur you, as a wayn chargid with hei charkith.
14 Ahoɔherɛfoɔ rentumi nnwane. Ahoɔdenfoɔ rennya ahoɔden, na akofoɔ rennya ne ho ntete.
And fliyt schal perische fro a swift man, and a strong man schal not holde his vertu, and a stalworthe man schal not saue his lijf;
15 Agyantofoɔ rentumi nnyina deɛ ɔgyina. Asraafoɔ ahoɔherɛfoɔ rentumi nnwane, na pɔnkɔsotefoɔ rentumi mpere ne nkwa.
and he that holdith a bowe schal not stonde, and a swift man schal not be sauyd by hise feet; and the stiere of an hors schal not saue his lijf,
16 Mpo akofoɔ akokoɔdurufoɔ de adagya bɛdwane wɔ saa da no,” sɛdeɛ Awurade seɛ nie.
and a stronge man of herte schal fle nakid among stronge men in that dai, seith the Lord.
