< Amos 2 >

1 Èyí ni ohun tí Olúwa wí, “Nítorí ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ mẹ́ta ti Moabu, àní fún mẹ́rin, Èmi kò ní yí ìpinnu ìjìyà mi padà, nítorí ó ti sun ún, di eérú, egungun ọba Edomu,
Thus said Jehovah: 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 Èmi yóò rán iná sí orí Moabu èyí tí yóò jó àwọn ààfin Kerioti run. Moabu yóò sì kú pẹ̀lú ariwo pẹ̀lú igbe àti pẹ̀lú ìró ìpè.
And I have sent a fire against Moab, And it hath consumed the palaces of Kerioth, And dying with noise is Moab, With shouting, with voice of a trumpet.
3 Èmi yóò ké onídàájọ́ rẹ̀ kúrò, Èmi yóò sì pa gbogbo àwọn ọmọ-aládé rẹ́ nínú rẹ̀,” ni Olúwa wí.
And I have cut off a judge from her midst, And all its heads I slay with him, said Jehovah.
4 Èyí ni ohun tí Olúwa wí, “Nítorí ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ mẹ́ta ti Juda, àní fún mẹ́rin, Èmi kò ní yí ìpinnu ìjìyà mi padà. Nítorí wọn ti kọ òfin Olúwa sílẹ̀, wọn kò sì pa àwọn ìlànà rẹ̀ mọ́. Nítorí àwọn òrìṣà ti sì wọ́n lọ́nà, òrìṣà tí àwọn Baba ńlá wọn ń tẹ̀lé,
Thus said Jehovah: For three transgressions of Judah, And for four, I do not reserve it, Because of their loathing the law of Jehovah, And His statutes they have not kept, And their lies do cause them to err, After which their fathers did walk,
5 Èmi yóò rán iná sí orí Juda èyí tí yóò jó àwọn ààfin Jerusalẹmu run.”
And I have sent a fire against Judah, And it hath consumed palaces of Jerusalem.
6 Èyí ni ohun tí Olúwa wí: “Nítorí ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ mẹ́ta Israẹli àní fún mẹ́rin, Èmi kò ní yí ìpinnu ìjìyà mi padà. Wọ́n ta olódodo fún fàdákà àti aláìní fún bàtà ẹsẹ̀ méjèèjì.
Thus said Jehovah: For three transgressions of Israel, And for four, I do not reverse it, Because of their selling for silver the righteous, And the needy for a pair of sandals.
7 Wọ́n fi ẹsẹ̀ tẹ orí àwọn tálákà mọ́lẹ̀, bí wọ́n ti ń tẹ erùpẹ̀ ilẹ̀ tí wọ́n ko sì ṣe òtítọ́ si àwọn tí a ni lára. Baba àti ọmọ ń wọlé tọ wúńdíá kan náà, láti ba orúkọ mímọ́ mi jẹ́.
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 unto the damsel, So as to pollute My holy name.
8 Wọ́n dùbúlẹ̀ lẹ́bàá a pẹpẹ, lórí aṣọ tí wọ́n fi jẹ́ ẹ̀jẹ́ ní ilé òrìṣà wọn wọ́n sì mu ọtí tí wọ́n san fún ìtánràn.
And on pledged garments they stretch themselves near every altar, And the wine of fined ones they drink [in] the house of their gods.
9 “Mo pa àwọn ará Amori run níwájú wọn gíga ẹni tí ó dàbí igi kedari. Òun sì le koko bí igi óákù mo pa èso rẹ̀ run láti òkè wá àti egbò rẹ̀ láti ìsàlẹ̀ wá.
And I — I have destroyed the Amorite from before them, Whose height [is] as the height of cedars, And strong he [is] as the oaks, And I destroy his fruit from above, And his roots from beneath.
10 Èmi mú un yín gòkè láti ilẹ̀ Ejibiti wá, mo sì sìn yín la aginjù já ní ogójì ọdún láti fi ilẹ̀ àwọn ará Amori fún un yín.
And I — 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 “Èmi sì tún gbé àwọn wòlíì dìde láàrín àwọn ọmọ yín àti láàrín àwọn ọ̀dọ́mọkùnrin yín láti jẹ Nasiri èyí kò ha jẹ́ òtítọ́ bí ará Israẹli?” ni Olúwa wí.
And I raise of your sons for prophets, And of your choice ones for Nazarites, Is not this true, O sons of Israel? An affirmation of Jehovah.
12 “Ṣùgbọ́n ẹ̀yin fún àwọn Nasiri ní ọtí mu e sì pàṣẹ fún àwọn wòlíì kí wọ́n má ṣe sọtẹ́lẹ̀.
And ye cause the Nazarites to drink wine, And on the prophets ye have laid a charge, Saying, 'Do not prophecy!'
13 “Ní báyìí, èmi yóò tẹ̀ yín mọ́lẹ̀ bí kẹ̀kẹ́ tí ó kún fún ìtí ti í tẹ̀.
Lo, I am pressing you under, As the full cart doth press for itself a sheaf.
14 Ẹni tí ó yára bí àṣá kò ní rí ọ̀nà àbáyọ alágbára kò ní le è dúró lé agbára rẹ̀ jagunjagun kì yóò le gba ẹ̀mí ara rẹ̀ là.
And perished hath refuge from the swift, And the strong strengtheneth not his power, And the mighty delivereth not his soul.
15 Tafàtafà kì yóò dúró lórí ẹsẹ̀ rẹ̀ bẹ́ẹ̀ ni ẹni tí ó gún ẹṣin kì yóò gba ẹ̀mí ara rẹ̀ là.
And the handler of the bow standeth not, And the swift with his feet delivereth not [himself], And the rider of the horse delivereth not his soul.
16 Àní jagunjagun tí ó gbóyà jùlọ yóò sálọ ní ìhòhò ní ọjọ́ náà,” ni Olúwa wí.
And the courageous of heart among the mighty, Naked doth flee in that day, An affirmation of Jehovah!
