Amos 5
1 Listen to this word which I take up for a lamentation over you, O house of Israel.
Mwet Israel, porongo on in asor soko su nga onkakin keiwos:
2 "The virgin of Israel has fallen; She shall rise no more. She is cast down on her land; there is no one 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 says the LORD: "The city that went forth a thousand shall have a hundred left, and that which went forth one hundred shall have 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 says the LORD to the house of Israel: "Seek me, and you will live;
LEUM GOD El fahk nu sin mwet Israel, “Fahsru nu yuruk, ac kowos fah moul.
5 but do not seek Bethel, nor enter into Gilgal, and do not pass to Beersheba: for Gilgal shall surely go into captivity, and Bethel shall come to nothing.
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 the LORD, and you will live; lest he break out like fire in the house of Joseph, and it devour, and there be no one to quench it in Bethel.
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 You who turn justice to wormwood, and cast down righteousness to the earth:
We nu suwos su furokla ma pwaye, ac aklalfonye mwet in eisla ma lalos!
8 seek him who made Kimah and Kesil, and turns the shadow of death into the morning, and makes the day dark with night; who calls for the waters of the sea, and pours them out on the surface 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 who brings sudden destruction on the strong, so that destruction comes on the fortress.
El uniya mwet ku ac kunausla pot ku lalos.
10 They hate him who reproves in the gate, and they abhor him who speaks blamelessly.
Kowos srunga kutena mwet su lain orekma sesuwos ac kaskas pwaye ke pacl in nununku.
11 Forasmuch therefore as you trample on the poor, and take taxes from him of wheat: You have built houses of cut stone, but you will not dwell in them. You have planted pleasant vineyards, but you 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 how many your offenses, and how great are your sins—you who afflict the just, who take a bribe, and who turn aside the needy in the courts.
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 a prudent person keeps silent in such a 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 good, and not evil, that you may live; and so the LORD, the God of hosts, will be with you, as you say.
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 evil, love good, and establish justice in the courts. It may be that the LORD, the God of hosts, will be gracious to 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 says the LORD, the God of hosts: "Wailing will be in all the broad ways; and they will say in all the streets, 'Alas. Alas.' and they will call the farmer to mourning, and those who are skillful in lamentation to 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 In all vineyards there will be wailing; for I will pass through the midst of you," says 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 to you who desire the day of the LORD. Why do you long for the day of the LORD? It is darkness, and not 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 fled from a lion, and a bear met him; Or he went into the house and leaned his hand on the wall, and a serpent bit 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 Won't the day of the LORD be darkness, and not light? Even very dark, and no brightness in it?
Len lun LEUM GOD ac fah len na lohsr matoltol, ac wangin kutu srisrik kalem kac.
21 I hate, I despise your feasts, and I can't stand your solemn assemblies.
LEUM GOD El fahk, “Nga srunga kufwa kowos oru ke pacl in alu lowos. Nga tia kuhnkuni!
22 Yes, though you offer me your burnt offerings and meal offerings, I will not accept them; neither will I regard the peace offerings of your fat animals.
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 Take away from me the noise of your songs. I will not listen to the music of your harps.
Tulokinya on oraru lowos ingan. Nga tia lungse lohng pusren mwe on nutuwos an.
24 But let justice roll on like rivers, 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 "Did you bring to me sacrifices and offerings in the wilderness forty years, 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 You took up the tabernacle of Moloch, and the star of your god Rephan, the images that you made to worship them.
Tusruktu inge, ke sripen kowos alu nu ke ma sruloala pangpang Sakkuth ac Kaiwan, kowos fah enenu in us ma sruloala lowos ingan
27 Therefore I will exile you beyond Babylon," says the LORD, whose name is the God of hosts.
ke nga ac eiskowosyang nu in sruoh in sie facl alukela Damascus.” Pa inge kas lun LEUM GOD, su pangpang God Kulana.
