ʻAmosi 2

1Thus says the LORD: “For three transgressions of Moab, and for four, I will not revoke the punishment, because he burned to lime the bones of the king of Edom.

1‌ʻOKU pehē ʻe Sihova, “Koeʻuhi ko e talangataʻa ʻe tolu ʻa Moape, mo hono fā, ʻe ʻikai te u fakaafe hono tautea ʻo ia; he naʻa ne taʻo ʻae ngaahi hui ʻae tuʻi ʻo ʻItomi ke lahe:

2So I will send a fire upon Moab, and it shall devour the strongholds of Kerioth, and Moab shall die amid uproar, amid shouting and the sound of the trumpet;

2Ka te u fekau ʻae afi ki Moape, pea te ne kai ʻo ʻosi ʻae ngaahi fale fakaʻeiʻeiki ʻo Kiliote: pea ʻe mate ʻa Moape ʻi he maveuveu, mo e kaila, pea mo e ongo ʻoe meʻalea:

3I will cut off the ruler from its midst, and will kill all its princes with him,” says the LORD.

3Pea te u motuhi ʻae fakamaau mei honau haʻohaʻonga, pea tāmateʻi ʻae houʻeiki kotoa pē mo ia:” ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova. ”

4Thus says the LORD: “For three transgressions of Judah, and for four, I will not revoke the punishment, because they have rejected the law of the LORD, and have not kept his statutes, but their lies have led them astray, those after which their fathers walked.

4ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova; “Koeʻuhi ko e talangataʻa ʻe tolu ʻa Siuta, pea mo hono fā, ʻe ʻikai te u fakaafe hono tautea ʻo ia; he kuo nau vaʻinga ʻaki ʻae fono ʻa Sihova, pea naʻe ʻikai te nau tauhi ʻene ngaahi fekau, pea naʻa nau hē ko e meʻa ʻi heʻenau loi, ʻaia naʻe muimui ki ai ʻenau ngaahi tamai:

5So I will send a fire upon Judah, and it shall devour the strongholds of Jerusalem.”

5Ka te u fekau ʻae afi ki Siuta, pea te ne kai ʻo ʻosi ʻae ngaahi fale fakaʻeiʻeiki ʻo Selūsalema.”

6Thus says the LORD: “For three transgressions of Israel, and for four, I will not revoke the punishment, because they sell the righteous for silver, and the needy for a pair of sandals—

6ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova; “Koeʻuhi ko e talangataʻa ʻe tolu ʻa ʻIsileli, pea mo hono fā, ʻe ʻikai te u fakaafe hono tautea ʻo ia; he kuo nau fakatau ʻae kakai māʻoniʻoni ki he siliva, pea mo e kakai masiva ʻaki ha topuvaʻe;

7those who trample the head of the poor into the dust of the earth and turn aside the way of the afflicted; a man and his father go in to the same girl, so that my holy name is profaned;

7‌ʻAia ʻoku feinga ke ʻai ʻae efu ʻoe kelekele ʻi he ʻulu ʻoe kakai masiva, pea ʻoku fakahēʻi ʻae hala ʻoe angamalū: pea ko e tangata mo ʻene tamai ʻoku na mohe ki he fefine pe taha, ke fakaongokovi hoku huafa tāpuhā:

8they lay themselves down beside every altar on garments taken in pledge, and in the house of their God they drink the wine of those who have been fined.

8Pea ʻoku nau tokoto ʻi he ngaahi kofu ʻoku tuku ko e fakamoʻoni ki he totongi ʻi he veʻe feilaulauʻanga kotoa pē, pea ʻoku nau inu ʻae uaine ʻoe halaia ʻi he fale ʻo ʻenau tamapua.

9“Yet it was I who destroyed the Amorite before them, whose height was like the height of the cedars and who was as strong as the oaks; I destroyed his fruit above and his roots beneath.

9Ka naʻaku fakaʻauha ʻae kakai ʻAmoli ʻi honau ʻao, ʻaia naʻe māʻolunga hangē ko e sita, pea naʻe mālohi hangē ko e oke; ka naʻaku fakaʻauha hono fua mei ʻolunga, pea mo hono aka ʻi lalo.

10Also it was I who brought you up out of the land of Egypt and led you forty years in the wilderness, to possess the land of the Amorite.

10Pea naʻaku ʻomi foki ʻakimoutolu mei he fonua ko ʻIsipite, pea naʻaku tataki ʻakimoutolu ʻi he toafa ʻi he taʻu ʻe fāngofulu, ke maʻu ʻae fonua ʻoe kakai ʻAmoli.

11And I raised up some of your sons for prophets, and some of your young men for Nazirites. Is it not indeed so, O people of Israel?” declares the LORD.

11Pea naʻaku tuʻutuʻuni mei ho ngaahi foha ʻae kau palōfita, pea mei hoʻo kau talavou ʻae kakai naʻe fakamavahe. ʻIkai ʻoku pehē pe, ʻe fānau ʻa ʻIsileli?” ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova.

12“But you made the Nazirites drink wine, and commanded the prophets, saying, ‘You shall not prophesy.’

12“Ka naʻa mou ʻatu ʻae uaine ke inu ʻe he kau Fakamavahe; pea ne mou fekau ʻae kau palōfita, ʻo pehē, ‘ʻOua naʻa kikite.’

13“Behold, I will press you down in your place, as a cart full of sheaves presses down.

13Vakai, ʻoku ou taʻomia ʻiate kimoutolu, hangē ko e saliote ʻi he ngaahi ʻū koane.

14Flight shall perish from the swift, and the strong shall not retain his strength, nor shall the mighty save his life;

14Ko ia ʻe mole ʻae faʻa lele mei he veʻe vave, pea ko e mālohi ʻe ʻikai te ne fakamālohiʻi ʻe ia ia; pea ʻe ʻikai fakahaofi ʻae mālohi ʻe ia ia:

15he who handles the bow shall not stand, and he who is swift of foot shall not save himself, nor shall he who rides the horse save his life;

15Pea ʻe ʻikai tuʻu ia ʻoku ne teke ʻae kaufana; pea ʻe ʻikai fakahaofi ʻae veʻe vave ʻe ia ia: pea ko ia ʻoku heka hoosi ʻe ʻikai fakahaofi ʻe ia ia.

16and he who is stout of heart among the mighty shall flee away naked in that day,” declares the LORD.

16Pea ko ia ʻoku lototoʻa ʻi he kau mālohi te ne hola telefua ʻi he ʻaho ko ia,” ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova.
