Amos 2
1 Kastoy ti kuna ni Yahweh: “Gapu iti tallo a basol ti Moab, wenno gapu iti uppat, saanko nga ibabawi ti pannusa gapu ta pinuoranna dagiti tulang ti ari ti Edom agingga a nagbalin nga apug.
This is what the Lord says: The people of Moab have repeatedly sinned and so I will not hesitate to punish them, because they desecrated the bones of the king of Edom by burning them, turning them into lime.
2 Mangidissuorakto iti apuy idiay Moab ket daytoyto ti mangkisap kadagiti sarikedked ti Keriot. Matayto ti Moab iti maysa nga arimbangaw nga adda panagpupukkaw ken panaguni iti trumpeta.
So I will send down fire on Moab, and I will burn up the fortresses of Kerioth, and the people of Moab will die in the midst of uproar, battle cries, and the sound of the trumpet.
3 Dadaelekto ti ukom nga adda kenkuana ket patayekto amin dagiti prinsipe a kaduana,” kuna ni Yahweh.
I will cut down their king and all their princes with him, says the Lord.
4 Kastoy ti kuna ni Yahweh: “Gapu iti tallo a basol ti Juda, wenno gapu iti uppat, saanko nga ibabawi ti pannusa gapu ta linaksidda ti linteg ni Yahweh ken saanda a tinungpal dagiti bilinna. Dagiti kinaulbodda ti nangiyaw-awan kadakuada a kas iti dalan a napanan dagiti ammada.
This is what the Lord says: The people of Judah have repeatedly sinned and so I will not hesitate to punish them, because they rejected the law of the Lord and have not kept his commands. Their lies have led them astray, the same lies that their forefathers followed.
5 Mangidissuorakto iti apuy idiay Juda ket mapuoranto a mamimpinsan dagiti sarikedked ti Jerusalem.”
So I will send down fire on Judah, and I will burn up the fortresses of Jerusalem.
6 Kastoy ti kiuna ni Yahweh: “Gapu iti tallo a basol ti Israel, wenno gapu iti uppat, saanko nga ibabawi ti pannusa gapu ta inlakoda ti awan basolna gapu iti pirak ken dagiti agkasapulan gapu iti sangapares a sandalias.
This is what the Lord says: The people of Israel have repeatedly sinned and so I will not hesitate to punish them, because they sell good people for silver, and poor people for a pair of sandals.
7 Badbaddekanda ti ulo dagiti marigrigat a kas iti pangibaddek dagiti tattao iti tapok ti daga; iwalwalinda ti maidaddadanes. Kakaiddaen ti ama ken ti putotna a lalaki ti maymaysa a babai ket rugrugitanda ti nasantoan a naganko.
They trample the heads of the poor into the dust, and push the needy out of the way. A man and his father have sex with the same servant girl so that my holy name is profaned.
8 Iti abay ti tunggal altar, agid-idada iti rabaw dagiti kawes nga inalada a kas salda, ken iti balay ti Diosda, in-inumenda ti arak dagiti nagmulta.
At every altar they stretch themselves out in clothes taken from debtors as collateral, in the temple of their god they drink wine taken from the people they fined.
9 Nupay kasta, dinadaelko ti Amoreo iti sangoananda, a ti tayagna ket kas iti tayag dagiti sedro; napigsa a kas kadagiti lugo. Nupay kasta, dinadaelko ti bungana iti ngato ken dagiti ramutna iti baba.
Yet it was I was the one who destroyed the Amorites before you, even though they were as tall as cedars and as strong as oaks. I destroyed them root and branch.
10 Inruarkayo pay idiay daga ti Egipto ken indaldalankayo idiay let-ang iti uppat a pulo a tawen tapno tagikuaenyo ti daga dagiti Amorreo.
It was I who brought you out of the land of Egypt and led you through the desert for forty years so that you could take the Amorites' land.
11 Nangpataudak kadagiti profeta manipud kadagiti annakyo a lallaki ken kadagiti Nazireo manipud kadagiti agtutuboyo a lallaki. Saan kadi, tattao ti Israel? —daytoy ti pakaammo ni Yahweh.”
I appointed some of your sons to be prophets, and some of your young men to be Nazirites. Isn't this true, people of Israel?
12 “Ngem inallukoyyo dagiti Nazireo nga uminum iti arak ken binilinyo dagiti profeta a saanda nga agipadto.
But you made the Nazirites sin by drinking wine, and you told the prophets, “Don't tell us what God says.”
13 Kitaenyo, rumekenkayonto a kas iti panangrumek ti maysa a kariton a napno iti bukbukel iti maysa a tao.
Now see what I am going to do. I will crush you where you are, as if crushed by a heavy cart loaded down with sheaves of grain.
14 Saanto a makalibas ti tao a napardas; ti tao a nabileg, saannanto a manayonan ti kinapigsana; ti tao a nasiglat, saananto a maisalakan ti bagina.
Not even your fastest runners will escape; strong men will lose their strength. Even the greatest warrior will not be able to save his life.
15 Saanto a makatakder ti pumapana; saanto a makalibas ti tao a napardas nga agtaray; ti tao a nakakabalio ket saananto a maisalakan ti bagina.
The archer will not stand his ground. The quickest on his feet will not be able to get away, and even those on horseback will not save themselves.
16 Uray dagiti katuredan a mannakigubat ket agtarayto a lamolamo iti dayta nga aldaw—daytoy ti pakaammo ni Yahweh.”
On that day even the bravest of the mighty warriors will run away naked, says the Lord.
