Amos 2
New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised Catholic Edition
2 Thus says the Lord:
For three transgressions of Moab,
and for four, I will not revoke the punishment;[a]
because he burned to lime
the bones of the king of Edom.
2 So I will send a fire on Moab,
and it shall devour the strongholds of Kerioth,
and Moab shall die amid uproar,
amid shouting and the sound of the trumpet;
3 I will cut off the ruler from its midst,
and will kill all its officials with him,
says the Lord.
Judgement on Judah
4 Thus says the Lord:
For three transgressions of Judah,
and for four, I will not revoke the punishment;[b]
because they have rejected the law of the Lord,
and have not kept his statutes,
but they have been led astray by the same lies
after which their ancestors walked.
5 So I will send a fire on Judah,
and it shall devour the strongholds of Jerusalem.
Judgement on Israel
6 Thus says the Lord:
For three transgressions of Israel,
and for four, I will not revoke the punishment;[c]
because they sell the righteous for silver,
and the needy for a pair of sandals—
7 they who trample the head of the poor into the dust of the earth,
and push the afflicted out of the way;
father and son go in to the same girl,
so that my holy name is profaned;
8 they lay themselves down beside every altar
on garments taken in pledge;
and 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 like the height of cedars,
and who was as strong as oaks;
I destroyed his fruit above,
and his roots beneath.
10 Also I brought you up out of the land of Egypt,
and led you for forty years in the wilderness,
to possess the land of the Amorite.
11 And I raised up some of your children to be prophets
and some of your youths to be nazirites.[d]
Is it not indeed so, O people of Israel?
says the Lord.
12 But you made the nazirites[e] drink wine,
and commanded the prophets,
saying, ‘You shall not prophesy.’
13 So, I will press you down in your place,
just as a cart presses down
when it is full of sheaves.[f]
14 Flight shall perish from the swift,
and the strong shall not retain their strength,
nor shall the mighty save their lives;
15 those who handle the bow shall not stand,
and those who are swift of foot shall not save themselves,
nor shall those who ride horses save their lives;
16 and those who are stout of heart among the mighty
shall flee away naked on that day,
says the Lord.
Амос 2
New Russian Translation
2 Так говорит Господь:
– За три греха Моава
и за четыре не отвращу Мой гнев.
За то, что он пережег в известь
кости царя Эдома[a].
2 Я пошлю огонь на Моав,
он пожрет крепости Кериота[b].
И погибнет Моав среди смуты,
среди криков боевых,
при звуке рога.
3 Я правителя его погублю,
а с ним убью и его приближенных, –
говорит Господь.
4 Так говорит Господь:
– За три греха Иудеи
и за четыре не отвращу Мой гнев.
За то, что они отвергли Закон Господа
и установлений Его не сохранили,
что лжебоги[c], за которыми ходили их предки,
сбили их с пути –
5 Я пошлю огонь на Иудею,
и он пожрет крепости Иерусалима.
Суд над Израилем
6 Так говорит Господь:
– За три греха Израиля
и за четыре не отвращу Мой гнев.
Они продают праведного за серебро
и нуждающегося – за пару сандалий.
7 Они попирают головы бедных,
как земную пыль,
и отталкивают кротких[d].
Отец и сын спят с одной и той же девицей,
оскверняя Мое святое имя.
8 На одежде, взятой в залог,
они возлежат у каждого жертвенника[e].
Они пьют вино, взятое с обвиненных,
в доме их бога[f].
9 Я погубил перед ними аморрея[g],
хотя он был высок, как кедр,
и крепок, как дуб.
Я погубил плод его вверху
и корни его внизу.
10 Я вывел вас из Египта
и водил вас сорок лет по пустыне,
чтобы дать вам землю аморреев.
11 Еще Я воздвигал пророков из ваших сыновей
и назореев[h] из ваших юношей.
Разве это не так, народ Израиля? –
возвещает Господь. –
12 Но вы заставляли назореев пить вино
и приказывали пророкам,
говоря: «Не пророчествуйте».
13 И вот, Я раздавлю вас,
как давит повозка, нагруженная снопами, –
14 быстрый не ускользнет,
сильный не соберется с силами
и воин не спасет свою жизнь.
15 Лучник не устоит,
быстроногий воин не скроется
и всадник не спасет свою жизнь.
16 Даже храбрейшие воины
убегут нагими в тот день, –
возвещает Господь.

Amos 2
King James Version
2 Thus saith the Lord; For three transgressions of Moab, and for four, I will not turn away the punishment thereof; because he burned the bones of the king of Edom into lime:
2 But I will send a fire upon Moab, and it shall devour the palaces of Kirioth: and Moab shall die with tumult, with shouting, and with the sound of the trumpet:
3 And I will cut off the judge from the midst thereof, and will slay all the princes thereof with him, saith the Lord.
4 Thus saith the Lord; For three transgressions of Judah, and for four, I will not turn away the punishment thereof; because they have despised the law of the Lord, and have not kept his commandments, and their lies caused them to err, after the which their fathers have walked:
5 But I will send a fire upon Judah, and it shall devour the palaces of Jerusalem.
6 Thus saith the Lord; For three transgressions of Israel, and for four, I will not turn away the punishment thereof; because they sold the righteous for silver, and the poor for a pair of shoes;
7 That pant after the dust of the earth on the head of the poor, and turn aside the way of the meek: and a man and his father will go in unto the same maid, to profane my holy name:
8 And they lay themselves down upon clothes laid to pledge by every altar, and they drink the wine of the condemned in the house of their god.
9 Yet destroyed I the Amorite before them, whose height was like the height of the cedars, and he was strong as the oaks; yet I destroyed his fruit from above, and his roots from beneath.
10 Also I brought you up from the land of Egypt, and led you forty years through the wilderness, to possess the land of the Amorite.
11 And I raised up of your sons for prophets, and of your young men for Nazarites. Is it not even thus, O ye children of Israel? saith the Lord.
12 But ye gave the Nazarites wine to drink; and commanded the prophets, saying, Prophesy not.
13 Behold, I am pressed under you, as a cart is pressed that is full of sheaves.
14 Therefore the flight shall perish from the swift, and the strong shall not strengthen his force, neither shall the mighty deliver himself:
15 Neither shall he stand that handleth the bow; and he that is swift of foot shall not deliver himself: neither shall he that rideth the horse deliver himself.
16 And he that is courageous among the mighty shall flee away naked in that day, saith the Lord.
