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.
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.
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
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.
3 [and while] I am getting rid of its king and all its leaders. [That will surely happen because I], Yahweh, have said it!”
Nga fah uniya mwet se ma leum in acn Moab, oayapa mwet kol nukewa in acn we.”
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].
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.
5 So I will cause a fire to completely burn [everything in] Judah, including the fortresses in Jerusalem.”
Ke ma inge nga fah supwala e nu fin acn Judah ac esukak pot ku lun Jerusalem.”
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.
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.
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.
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.
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!
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.
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.
“Tusruktu ke sripowos nga tuh kunausla nufon mwet Amor, mwet su arulana fulat oana sak cedar, ac fokoko oana sak oak.
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.
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.
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!
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.
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].
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.
13 So I will crush you like [SIM] [the wheels of] a wagon that is loaded with grain crushes [whatever it rolls over].
Inge nga fah toankowosi nu infohk uh, oana ke sie mwe wiwa su nwanala ke wheat inkeya acn uh.
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.
Finne mwet kasrusr mulah fah tia kaingla; mwet ku ac fah munasla, ac mwet mweun fah tia ku in molela moul lalos sifacna.
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.
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.
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.”
Finne mwet mweun na pulaik, elos ac sisla kufwen mweun natulos ac kaing in len sac.” Pa inge kas lun LEUM GOD.
