Amos 5
1 Hear ye this word which I take up against you, as a lamentation, O house of Israel.
Mwet Israel, porongo on in asor soko su nga onkakin keiwos:
2 She is fallen, she will not rise again—the virgin of Israel: she is thrown down upon her land; there is none to raise her up.
Israel el oana sie mutan fusr su anwuki oan infohk uh, Su ac fah tiana sifilpa tukakek! Sisilana el, oan fin fohk uh, Ac wangin mwet in sraklalak.
3 For thus hath said the Lord Eternal, The city that goeth forth with a thousand shall retain but a hundred, and she that goeth forth with a hundred shall retain but ten, [left] to the house of Israel.
LEUM GOD Fulat El fahk, “Sie siti in Israel supwala sie tausin mwet mweun, ac mwet siofok na painmoul foloko. Ac sie pac siti supwala mwet mweun siofok, ac mwet singoul na foloko.”
4 For thus hath said the Lord unto the house of Israel, Seek ye for me, and ye shall live;
LEUM GOD El fahk nu sin mwet Israel, “Fahsru nu yuruk, ac kowos fah moul.
5 But seek not for Beth-el, and into Gilgal enter not, and to Beer-sheba' do not pass over; for Gilgal shall surely go into exile, and Beth-el shall become naught.
Nikmet som nu Beersheba in alu. Nimet srike in sukyu in acn Bethel — Bethel ac fah wanginla. Nikmet som nu Gilgal-mwet we uh ac fah som nu in sruoh.”
6 Seek for the Lord, and ye shall live: so that he come not suddenly like fire over the house of Joseph, and it devour, and there be none to quench it in Beth-el;
Suk LEUM GOD, ac kowos fah moul. Kowos fin tia sokol, El fah putati oana sie e nu fin mwet Israel. E sac fah esukak mwet in Bethel, ac wangin sie fah ku in konela.
7 Ye who change justice into wormwood, and cast down righteousness to the earth!
We nu suwos su furokla ma pwaye, ac aklalfonye mwet in eisla ma lalos!
8 [But] he maketh the seven stars and Orion, and changeth into morning the shadow of death, and maketh the day dark into night; he it is that calleth for the waters of the sea, and poureth them out over the face of the earth: The Lord is his name;
LEUM GOD El orala itu uh, El orala Nasren ac oakiya acn sin itu saya. El ekulla lohsr lun fong nu ke kalem lun len, Ac ekulla len nu ke fong. El eis kof liki fin meoa uh Ac okoala nu fin faclu. Inel pa LEUM GOD.
9 That causeth wasting to prevail against the strong, so that wasting shall come against the fortress.
El uniya mwet ku ac kunausla pot ku lalos.
10 They hate him that rebuketh in the gate, and him that speaketh uprightly they abhor.
Kowos srunga kutena mwet su lain orekma sesuwos ac kaskas pwaye ke pacl in nununku.
11 Therefore forasmuch as you tread down upon the poor, and ye take from him onerous contributions of corn: if ye have built houses of hewn stone, ye shall not dwell in them; if ye have planted pleasant vineyards, ye shall not drink their wine.
Kowos akkeokye mwet sukasrup ac pisrala mwe mongo nalos. Ke ma inge kowos ac fah tia muta in lohm wowo kowos musaela ke eot tufahl, ku nim wain liki ima in grape kato su kowos yukwiya.
12 For I know your manifold transgressions and your numerous sins: ye are those that are the adversaries of the just, that take a ransom, and that wrest [the cause of] the needy in the gate.
Nga etu upaiyen ma koluk lowos, ac pusiyen pacl kowos kunausla ma sap uh. Kowos akkeokye mwet wo, kowos eis molin eyeinse, ac ke pacl in nununku kowos ikol tuh suwohs lun mwet sukasrup in tia fwackyuk.
13 Therefore will the intelligent keep silence in that time; for it is an evil time.
Ke pacl koluk ouinge uh, el su oasr kalem yoro el ac mislana ac tia fahk ma el nunku.
14 Seek for the good, and not the evil, in order that ye may live: and so will the Lord, the God of hosts, be with you, as ye have said.
Suk in oru ma suwohs ac tia ma koluk, tuh kowos in ku in moul. Na LEUM GOD Kulana El fah wi kowos, oana ke kowos fahk.
15 Hate the evil, and love the good, and establish justice firmly in the gate: perhaps the Lord the God of hosts will be gracious unto the remnant of Joseph.
Srunga ma koluk, ac lungse ma wo, ac akkeye tuh ma suwohs in sikyak ke pacl in nununku. Sahp LEUM GOD El ac fah pakoten nu sin mwet na pu su painmoulla in mutunfacl se inge.
16 Therefore thus hath said the Eternal, the God of hosts, the Lord, On all public places there is lamentation, and in all the streets they cry, Woe! woe! and they call the husbandman to mourning, and to lamentation those skilled in wailing.
Ouinge LEUM GOD Fulat ac Kulana El fahk, “Ac fah oasr pusren tung mwemelil inkanek in siti uh. Ac fah solsolme mwet orekma in ima elos in wi mwet ma oasr moul nu se in tung, tuh elos kewa in tungi mas misa.
17 And in all vineyards there is lamentation; for I will pass through thy midst, saith the Lord.
Ac fah oasr pac pusren tung ac mwemelil ke ima in grape nukewa. Ma inge nukewa ac fah sikyak mweyen nga ac tuku kalyei kowos.” LEUM GOD pa fahk ma inge.
18 Woe unto you that long for the day of the Lord! for what do you wish the day of the Lord? it is [one of] darkness, and not of light.
Ac mau fuka upaiya nu suwos su salka len lun LEUM GOD! Mea ac wo nu suwos ke len sac? Ac fah mau sie len na lohsr ac tia kalem.
19 As if a man were to flee from a lion, and a bear should meet him; and he enter into the house, and lean his hand against the wall, and a serpent should bite him.
Ac fah mau oana sie mwet su kaingkin soko lion twe sun bear soko! Ku oana sie mwet su utyak tari nu in lohm sel ac siungya pesinka uh, a wet pwasin soko ngalsilya!
20 Behold the day of the Lord is [one of] darkness, and not of light; yea, it is obscure, and hath no brightness.
Len lun LEUM GOD ac fah len na lohsr matoltol, ac wangin kutu srisrik kalem kac.
21 I hate, I despise your feast-days, and I will not smell [the sacrifices] on your festive assemblies.
LEUM GOD El fahk, “Nga srunga kufwa kowos oru ke pacl in alu lowos. Nga tia kuhnkuni!
22 For though ye should offer me burnt-offerings and your meat-offerings, I will not accept them in favor: and the peace-offerings of your fatted cattle will I not look at.
Kowos fin use mwe kisa firir ac mwe kisa wheat lowos nu sik, nga ac fah tia eis. Nga fah tia pac engan ke kosro fact ma kowos kisakin nu sik.
23 Remove thou from around me the noise of thy songs: and the playing of thy psalteries I will not hear.
Tulokinya on oraru lowos ingan. Nga tia lungse lohng pusren mwe on nutuwos an.
24 But let justice roll along like water, and righteousness like a mighty stream.
A lela nununku suwohs in asrla oana sie unon in kof, ac ma suwoswos in soror oana soko infacl su tia ku in mihnla.
25 Have ye offered unto me sacrifices and meat-offerings in the wilderness [during] forty years, O house of Israel?
“Mwet Israel, ke nga tuh pwen kowos sasla yen mwesis ke lusen yac angngaul, kowos tuh tiana enenu in use mwe kisa ku mwe sang nu sik.
26 Bear then the canopy of your chief idol, and the figure of your images, the star of your god, which ye have made for yourselves.
Tusruktu inge, ke sripen kowos alu nu ke ma sruloala pangpang Sakkuth ac Kaiwan, kowos fah enenu in us ma sruloala lowos ingan
27 And I will cause you to go into exile far beyond Damascus, saith the Lord, The God of hosts is his name.
ke nga ac eiskowosyang nu in sruoh in sie facl alukela Damascus.” Pa inge kas lun LEUM GOD, su pangpang God Kulana.
