Amós 2
Bible du Rabbinat (Zadoc Kahn)
1Ainsi parle l'Eternel: "A cause du triple, du quadruple crime de Moab, je ne le révoquerai pas, mon arrêt: parce qu'il a brûlé les ossements du roi d'Edom jusqu'à les réduire en chaux.
2Aussi déchaînerai-je le feu contre Moab, pour qu'il dévore les palais de Keriot. Moab périra dans le tumulte, au milieu des cris de guerre, au son de la trompette.
3J'exterminerai les juges de son sein, et je frapperai à mort tous ses chefs, dit l'Eternel."
4Ainsi parle l'Eternel: "A cause du triple, du quadruple crime de Juda, je ne le révoquerai pas, mon arrêt: parce qu'ils ont méprisé la Loi de l'Eternel et violé ses statuts, parce qu'ils se sont laissé égarer par leurs mensongères idoles, que leurs pères eux-mêmes avaient suivies.
5Aussi déchaînerai-je le feu contre Juda, pour qu'il dévore les palais de Jérusalem."
6Ainsi parle l'Eternel: "A cause du triple, du quadruple crime d'Israël, je ne le révoquerai pas, mon arrêt: parce qu'ils vendent le juste pour de l'argent et le pauvre pour une paire de sandales.
7Ils convoitent jusqu'à la poussière du sol répandue sur la tête des malheureux, ils font dévier la route des humbles. Le fils et le père fréquentent la prostituée, outrageant ainsi mon nom sacré.
8Ils s'étendent, près de chaque autel, sur des vêtements pris en gage, et le vin provenant des amendes, ils le boivent dans le temple de leurs dieux.
9Et c'est moi pourtant qui ai détruit pour eux l'Amorréen, dont la stature égalait celle des cèdres et la vigueur celle des chênes; et j'ai anéanti ses fruits dans les airs, ses racines dans le sol!
10Et c'est moi qui vous ai retirés du pays d'Egypte, qui vous ai dirigés dans le désert quarante années, pour vous mettre en possession du pays de l'Amorréen.
11Et c'est parmi vos fils que j'ai suscité des prophètes, parmi vos adolescents des Naziréens! N'en est-il pas ainsi, fils d'Israël? dit l'Eternel.
12Mais vous avez forcé les Naziréens à boire du vin, et aux prophètes vous avez fait défense de prophétiser!
13Eh bien! je vais vous écraser sur place comme un chariot chargé de gerbes écrase le sol.
14La fuite deviendra impossible au plus agile, le plus fort ne pourra déployer sa force, ni le plus vaillant sauver sa vie.
15L'archer ne tiendra pas ferme, l'homme aux pieds légers ne pourra échapper; ni le cavalier sur son cheval assurer son salut.
16Le plus brave parmi les guerriers s'enfuira nu ce jour-là, dit l'Eternel."
Reina-Valera 1909
1ASÍ ha dicho Jehová: Por tres pecados de Moab, y por el cuarto, no desviaré su castigo; porque quemó los huesos del rey de Idumea hasta tornarlos en cal.
2Y meteré fuego en Moab, y consumirá los palacios de Chêrioth: y morirá Moab en alboroto, en estrépito y sonido de trompeta.
3Y quitaré el juez de en medio de él, y mataré con él á todos sus príncipes, dice Jehová.
4Así ha dicho Jehová: Por tres pecados de Judá, y por el cuarto, no desviaré su castigo; porque menospreciaron la ley de Jehová, y no guardaron sus ordenanzas; é hiciéronlos errar sus mentiras, en pos de las cuales anduvieron sus padres.
5Meteré por tanto fuego en Judá, el cual consumirá los palacios de Jerusalem.
6Así ha dicho Jehová: Por tres pecados de Israel, y por el cuarto, no desviaré su castigo; porque vendieron por dinero al justo, y al pobre por un par de zapatos:
7Que anhelan porque haya polvo de tierra sobre la cabeza de los pobres, y tuercen el camino de los humildes: y el hombre y su padre entraron á la misma moza, profanando mi santo nombre.
8Y sobre las ropas empeñadas se acuestan junto á cualquier altar; y el vino de los penados beben en la casa de sus dioses.
9Y yo destruí delante de ellos al Amorrheo, cuya altura era como la altura de los cedros, y fuerte como un alcornoque; y destruí su fruto arriba, sus raíces abajo.
10Y yo os hice á vosotros subir de la tierra de Egipto, y os traje por el desierto cuarenta años, para que poseyeseis la tierra del Amorrheo.
11Y levanté de vuestros hijos para profetas, y de vuestros mancebos para que fuesen Nazareos. ¿No es esto así, dice Jehová, hijos de Israel?
12Mas vosotros disteis de beber vino á los Nazareos; y á los profetas mandasteis, diciendo: No profeticéis.
13Pues he aquí, yo os apretaré en vuestro lugar, como se aprieta el carro lleno de haces;
14Y la huída perecerá del ligero, y el fuerte no esforzará su fuerza, ni el valiente librará su vida;
15Y el que toma el arco no resistirá, ni escapará el ligero de pies, ni el que cabalga en caballo salvará su vida.
16El esforzado entre esforzados huirá desnudo aquel día, dice Jehová.
King James Version
1Thus 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:
2But I will send a fire upon Moab, and it shall devour the palaces of Kerioth: and Moab shall die with tumult, with shouting, and with the sound of the trumpet:
3And I will cut off the judge from the midst thereof, and will slay all the princes thereof with him, saith the LORD.
4Thus 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:
5But I will send a fire upon Judah, and it shall devour the palaces of Jerusalem.
6Thus 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;
7That 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:
8And 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.
9Yet 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.
10Also I brought you up from the land of Egypt, and led you forty years through the wilderness, to possess the land of the Amorite.
11And 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.
12But ye gave the Nazarites wine to drink; and commanded the prophets, saying, Prophesy not.
13Behold, I am pressed under you, as a cart is pressed that is full of sheaves.
14Therefore the flight shall perish from the swift, and the strong shall not strengthen his force, neither shall the mighty deliver himself:
15Neither 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.
16And he that is courageous among the mighty shall flee away naked in that day, saith the LORD.
World English Bible
1The LORD says: “For three transgressions of Moab, yes, for four, I will not turn away its punishment, because he burned the bones of the king of Edom into lime;
2but I will send a fire on Moab, and it will devour the palaces of Kerioth; and Moab will die with tumult, with shouting, and with the sound of the trumpet;
3and I will cut off the judge from among them, and will kill all its princes with him,” says the LORD.
4The LORD says: “For three transgressions of Judah, yes, for four, I will not turn away its punishment, because they have rejected the LORD’s law, and have not kept his statutes, and their lies have led them astray, after which their fathers walked;
5but I will send a fire on Judah, and it will devour the palaces of Jerusalem.”
6The LORD says: “For three transgressions of Israel, yes, for four, I will not turn away its punishment, because they have sold the righteous for silver, and the needy for a pair of sandals;
7They trample the heads of the poor into the dust of the earth and deny justice to the oppressed. A man and his father use the same maiden, to profane my holy name.
8They lay themselves down beside every altar on clothes taken in pledge. In the house of their God they drink the wine of those who have been fined.
9Yet I destroyed 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.
10Also I brought you up out of the land of Egypt and led you forty years in the wilderness, to possess the land of the Amorite.
11I raised up some of your sons for prophets, and some of your young men for Nazirites. Isn’t this true, you children of Israel?” says the LORD.
12“But you gave the Nazirites wine to drink, and commanded the prophets, saying, ‘Don’t prophesy!’
13Behold, I will crush you in your place, as a cart crushes that is full of grain.
14Flight will perish from the swift. The strong won’t strengthen his force. The mighty won’t deliver himself.
15He who handles the bow won’t stand. He who is swift of foot won’t escape. He who rides the horse won’t deliver himself.
16He who is courageous among the mighty will flee away naked on that day,” says the LORD.
