Amos 2

Book

Moab and Judah, God Call Dem Come Home

Di judgments dey circle enter from Moab and Judah reach Israel itself, and di charge clear: dem sell righteous people for silver and poor people for sandals, dem trample di poor, dem shut di prophets mouth. Our Papa count wetin e give dem, den e sey e go crush dem.

Chapter 2.

Na wetin our Papa talk be dis: For three sins wey Moab commit, and for four, I no go change am—because e burn di bones of Edom king make e turn lime. So I go send fire come Moab, and e go chop di strong-strong places for Kerioth; Moab go die for inside plenty noise, wit shout and di sound of di shofar. I go cut off di ruler comot for dia middle and kill all im officials wit am, na so our Papa talk.

Na wetin our Papa talk be dis: For three sins wey Judah commit, and for four, I no go change am—because dem reject our Papa teaching and dem no keep im rules, and dia lie-lie carry dem go astray, di same lie-lie wey dia papa-papa follow. So I go send fire come Judah, and e go chop di strong-strong places for Jerusalem.

How our Papa Go Judge Israel

Na wetin our Papa talk be dis: For three sins wey Israel commit, and four, I no go loose hand—dem dey sell di correct-and-holy person for silver, and di person wey dey lack for ordinary sandal. Dem dey step for head of di poor person press am inside di sand of di ground, and dem dey push di person wey dey suffer comot for road. Man and im papa dey go meet di same girl, dey spoil my holy name. Dem dey lie down for side of every altar on top cloth wey dem collect as pledge, and for inside di house of dia God dem dey drink di wine of di people wey dem fine. But na me destroy di Amorite for dia front, di one wey tall like cedar tree and strong like oak tree; I destroy im fruit for up and im root for down. And na me carry una comot for di land of Egypt and lead una forty years for inside di wilderness, so make una fit take di land of di Amorite. I raise up some of una sons make dem be prophet and some of una young men make dem be Nazirite. No be so e be, una people of Israel? Na so our Papa talk. a a v11 Nazirite na Israel people wey take special vow to dedicate demself to God, dem no dey drink wine and dem no dey cut dia hair (check Numbers 6). But una make di Nazirite drink wine, and una command di prophet, talk say, “Make una no prophesy.” Look, I go press una for una place, di same way cart wey full wit sheaves dey press di ground wey dey under am. Even di person wey dey run fast no go fit escape, di strong person no go fit hold im strength, and di sojaman no go save im life. Di person wey dey shoot arrow no go fit stand im ground, di person wey get fast leg no go escape, and di person wey dey ride horse no go save im life. Even di sojaman wey get liver pass all of dem go run comot naked for dat day, na so our Papa talk.
