Amos 2
Magandang Balita Biblia (with Deuterocanon)
Sa Moab
2 Ganito(A) ang sabi ni Yahweh:
“Paulit-ulit na nagkasala ang mga taga-Moab,
kaya sila'y paparusahan ko.
Sinunog nila at pinulbos ang mga buto ng hari ng Edom.
2 Susunugin ko ang lupain ng Moab;
tutupukin ko ang mga tanggulan sa Keriot.
Masasawi ang mga taga-Moab sa gitna ng ingay ng labanan,
sa sigawan ng mga kawal at tunog ng mga trumpeta.
3 Papatayin ko ang hari ng Moab,
gayundin ang mga pinuno sa lupaing iyon.”
Sa Juda
4 Ganito ang sabi ni Yahweh:
“Paulit-ulit na nagkasala ang mga taga-Juda,
kaya sila'y paparusahan ko.
Hinamak nila ang aking mga katuruan;
nilabag nila ang aking mga kautusan.
Iniligaw sila ng mga diyus-diyosang
pinaglingkuran ng kanilang mga ninuno.
5 Susunugin ko ang Juda;
tutupukin ko ang mga tanggulan ng Jerusalem.”
Ang Paghatol sa Israel
6 Ganito ang sabi ni Yahweh:
“Paulit-ulit na nagkasala ang mga taga-Israel,
kaya sila'y paparusahan ko.
Dahil sa suhol, pinarusahan nila ang mga matutuwid,
at ibinentang alipin sa halagang isang pares ng sandalyas ang mga taong hindi makabayad ng utang.
7 Niyuyurakan nila ang mga abâ;
ipinagtutulakan nila ang mahihirap.
Nakikipagtalik ang mag-ama sa iisang babaing alipin,
kaya't nalalapastangan ang aking banal na pangalan.
8 Ginagamit nilang higaan sa tabi ng alinmang altar
ang balabal na sangla ng isang may utang.
Sa templo ng kanilang Diyos, sila'y nag-iinuman
ng alak na binili sa salaping ninakaw sa mga dukha.
9 Nagawa(B) pa nila ito sa akin matapos kong lipulin ang mga Amoreo,
na kasintangkad ng mga punong sedar at kasintigas ng punong ensina.
Pinuksa kong lahat ang mga ito alang-alang sa kanila.
10 Inilabas ko kayo mula sa Egipto,
pinatnubayan sa ilang sa loob ng apatnapung taon,
at ibinigay sa inyo ang lupain ng mga Amoreo.
11 Itinalaga(C) kong propeta ang ilan sa inyong mga anak;
ginawa kong Nazareo ang iba ninyong kabataan.
Mga taga-Israel, hindi ba totoo ang aking sinasabi?
12 Ngunit pinainom ninyo ng alak ang mga Nazareo,
at pinagbawalang mangaral ang mga propeta.
13 Kaya ngayo'y pababagsakin ko kayo sa lupa,
gaya ng kariton na di makausad sa bigat ng dala.
14 Maging ang matutuling tumakbo ay di makakatakas.
Manghihina pati na ang malalakas,
maging ang magigiting ay di rin makakaligtas;
15 walang tatamaan ang mga manunudla;
di makakaligtas ang matutuling tumakbo,
di rin makakatakas ang mga nakakabayo.
16 Sa araw na iyon ay magsisitakas
maging ang pinakamatatapang.”
Amos 2
Common English Bible
A word to Moab
2 The Lord proclaims:
For three crimes of Moab,
and for four, I won’t hold back the punishment,
because he burned to lime
the bones of the king of Edom.
2 So I will send down a fire on Moab;
it will devour the palaces of Kerioth.
Moab will die in a great uproar,
with a war cry, with the sound of the ram’s horn.
3 I will remove their judge from them
and slay all their officials with him,
says the Lord.
A word to Judah
4 The Lord proclaims:
For three crimes of Judah,
and for four, I won’t hold back the punishment,
because they have rejected the Instruction of the Lord,
and haven’t kept his laws.
They have been led off the right path by the same lies
after which their ancestors walked.
5 So I will send a fire on Judah,
and it will devour the palaces of Jerusalem.
A word to Israel
6 The Lord proclaims:
For three crimes of Israel,
and for four, I won’t hold back the punishment,
because they have sold the innocent for silver,
and those in need for a pair of sandals.
7 They crush the head of the poor into the dust of the earth,
and push the afflicted out of the way.
Father and son have intercourse with the same young woman,
degrading my holy name.
8 They stretch out beside every altar
on garments taken in loan;
in the house of their god they drink
wine bought with fines they imposed.
9 Yet I destroyed the Amorite before them,
whose height was as tall as cedar trees,
and whose strength was as strong as oak trees.
I destroyed his fruit above
and his roots below.
10 Also I brought you up out of the land of Egypt,
and led you forty years in the wilderness,
to lay claim to the land of the Amorite.
11 I raised up some of your children to be prophets
and some of your youth to be nazirites.
Isn’t this so, people of Israel?
says the Lord.
12 But you made the nazirites drink wine,
and commanded the prophets,
saying, “You won’t prophesy.”
13 So now I will oppress you,
just like a cart is weighed down[a]
when it is full of harvested grain.
14 Fast runners will find no refuge;
the strong will lose their strength;
the mighty will be unable to save their lives.
15 Those who shoot the bow won’t survive.
Fast runners won’t escape;
those who ride horses won’t save themselves.
16 The bravest warrior
will flee away naked in that day,
says the Lord.

2 This is what the Lord says:
“For three sins of Moab,(A)
even for four, I will not relent.
Because he burned to ashes(B)
the bones of Edom’s king,
2 I will send fire on Moab
that will consume the fortresses of Kerioth.[a](C)
Moab will go down in great tumult
amid war cries(D) and the blast of the trumpet.(E)
3 I will destroy her ruler(F)
and kill all her officials with him,”(G)
says the Lord.(H)
4 This is what the Lord says:
“For three sins of Judah,(I)

the gods[c] their ancestors followed,(N)

Judgment on Israel
6 This is what the Lord says:
“For three sins of Israel,
even for four, I will not relent.(R)
They sell the innocent for silver,
and the needy for a pair of sandals.(S)
7 They trample on the heads of the poor
as on the dust of the ground
and deny justice to the oppressed.
Father and son use the same girl
and so profane my holy name.(T)
8 They lie down beside every altar
on garments taken in pledge.(U)
In the house of their god
they drink wine(V) taken as fines.(W)
9 “Yet I destroyed the Amorites(X) before them,
though they were tall(Y) as the cedars
and strong as the oaks.(Z)
I destroyed their fruit above
and their roots(AA) below.
10 I brought you up out of Egypt(AB)
and led(AC) you forty years in the wilderness(AD)
to give you the land of the Amorites.(AE)
11 “I also raised up prophets(AF) from among your children
and Nazirites(AG) from among your youths.
Is this not true, people of Israel?”
declares the Lord.
12 “But you made the Nazirites drink wine
and commanded the prophets not to prophesy.(AH)
13 “Now then, I will crush you
as a cart crushes when loaded with grain.(AI)
14 The swift will not escape,(AJ)
the strong(AK) will not muster their strength,
and the warrior will not save his life.(AL)
15 The archer(AM) will not stand his ground,
the fleet-footed soldier will not get away,
and the horseman(AN) will not save his life.(AO)
16 Even the bravest warriors(AP)
will flee naked on that day,”
declares the Lord.
