Amos 2
1 Yahweh [also] said this: “[I will punish the people of] Moab because of the many sins [that they have committed]; I will not change my mind about punishing them, because they [dug up] the bones of the king of Edom and burned them completely, with the result that [the ashes became as white] as lime.
Näin sanoo Herra: Mooabin kolmen rikoksen, neljän rikoksen tähden minun päätökseni on peruuttamaton. Koska se on polttanut Edomin kuninkaan luut kalkiksi,
2 So I will cause a fire to completely burn the fortresses of Kerioth [city in Moab]. [People will hear soldiers] shouting and blowing trumpets [loudly] while I am causing Moab to be destroyed
sentähden minä lähetän tulen Mooabia vastaan, ja se kuluttaa Kerijotin palatsit. Ja Mooab kuolee sodan melskeessä, sotahuudon ja pasunan pauhinassa.
3 [and while] I am getting rid of its king and all its leaders. [That will surely happen because I], Yahweh, have said it!”
Ja minä hävitän tuomarin sen keskeltä, ja kaikki sen päämiehet minä tapan yhdessä sen kanssa, sanoo Herra.
4 Yahweh [also] said this: “[I will also punish the people of] Judah because of the many sins [that they have committed]; I will not change my mind about punishing them, because they have rejected what I taught them and they have not obeyed my commands. They have been deceived [and persuaded to worship false gods], the same [gods] that their ancestors [worshiped].
Näin sanoo Herra: Juudan kolmen rikoksen, neljän rikoksen tähden minun päätökseni on peruuttamaton. Koska he ovat hyljänneet Herran lain eivätkä ole pitäneet hänen käskyjänsä, vaan heidän valhejumalansa, joiden perässä jo heidän isänsä kulkivat, ovat heidät vietelleet,
5 So I will cause a fire to completely burn [everything in] Judah, including the fortresses in Jerusalem.”
sentähden minä lähetän tulen Juudaa vastaan, ja se kuluttaa Jerusalemin palatsit.
6 Yahweh [also] said this: “[I will punish the people of] Israel because of the many sins [that they have committed]; I will not change my mind about punishing them, because they sell righteous [people] to get [a small amount of] silver; they sell poor [people, causing them to become slaves], getting for [each of] them [only the amount of money with which they could buy] a pair of sandals.
Näin sanoo Herra: Israelin kolmen rikoksen, neljän rikoksen tähden minun päätökseni on peruuttamaton. Sillä he myyvät hurskaan rahasta ja köyhän kenkäparista,
7 [It is as though] they trample the poor people into the dirt and do not allow those who are helpless to be treated fairly. Men and their fathers dishonor me [MTY] by both having sex [EUP] with the same [slave] girl.
polkevat maan tomuun vaivaisten pään ja vääntävät mutkaiseksi nöyrien tien. Ja poika ja isä käyvät saman naisen pariin häväisten minun pyhän nimeni.
8 [When poor people borrow money], [the lenders force those people to give to them a piece of clothing] for them to keep until he can pay back the money. [But at the end of each day, instead of returning that garment as Yahweh had commanded them to], they lie down on that garment at the places where they worship [their gods]! They fine people, and with that money [they buy] wine and drink it in the temples of their gods!
He loikovat pantiksi otetuilla vaatteilla jokaisen alttarin ääressä ja juovat sakotettujen viiniä jumalansa huoneessa.
9 [Long ago, ] to assist your ancestors, I got rid of the Amor people-group. They [seemed to be] as tall as cedar [trees] and as strong as oak [trees], but I got rid of them completely, [as easily as someone cuts off] [MET] the branches of a tree and then digs out all its roots.
Ja kuitenkin minä hävitin heidän edestänsä amorilaiset, jotka olivat korkeakasvuiset kuin setrit ja vahvat kuin tammet, ja minä hävitin niiden hedelmän ylhäältä ja niiden juuret alhaalta.
10 I brought your [ancestors] out of Egypt, and [then] I led them through the desert for 40 years. And then I enabled them to conquer/possess the Amor area.
Ja minä johdatin teidät Egyptin maasta ja kuljetin teitä erämaassa neljäkymmentä vuotta, että saisitte ottaa omaksenne amorilaisten maan.
11 I chose some of you Israelis to be prophets, and I chose others to be Nazir-men [who were completely dedicated to me]. You people of Israel certainly [RHQ] know that what I have said is true!
Ja minä herätin teidän pojistanne profeettoja ja nuorukaisistanne nasiireja. Vai eikö niin ole, te israelilaiset? sanoo Herra.
12 But you commanded the prophets to not speak the messages that [I gave to] them, and you persuaded the Nazir-men to drink wine, [which I told them never to do].
Mutta te juotitte nasiireille viiniä, ja profeettoja te kielsitte sanoen: "Älkää ennustako".
13 So I will crush you like [SIM] [the wheels of] a wagon that is loaded with grain crushes [whatever it rolls over].
Katso, minä rusennan teidät alallenne, niinkuin täyteen kuormattu puimajyrä rusentaa lyhteet.
14 [Even] if you run fast, you will not escape; [even] if you are strong, [it will be as though] you are weak, and warriors will be unable to save themselves.
Silloin nopeakaan ei pääse pakoon, ei väkevällä ole apua voimastaan, eikä sankari pelasta henkeänsä;
15 [Even] if you are able to shoot arrows [well], you will be forced to retreat [LIT]; [even] if you run fast or if you ride [away] on a horse, you will not [be able to] save yourself.
jousimies ei kestä paikallansa, nopeajalkainen ei pelastu, eikä ratsumies pelasta henkeänsä.
16 [Even] warriors who are very brave will drop their weapons when they try to flee on the day [that I get rid of them]. [That will surely happen because I], Yahweh, have said it.”
Ja sankareista rohkein pakenee alasti sinä päivänä, sanoo Herra.
