< Amos 6 >

1 Woe to them that dwell at ease in Zion; That feel secure upon the mountain of Samaria; The honorable men of the chief of the nations, To whom the house of Israel resort!
Ac mau fuka upaiya nu suwos su muta insraelak in Zion, ac nu suwos su moul in misla Samaria. Kowos pa mwet fulat lun mutunfacl pwengpeng se inge Israel, su mwet uh fahsri in suk kasru se.
2 Pass over to Calneh, and see; And thence go to great Hamath; Then go down to Gath of the Philistines: Are they better than these kingdoms, Or is their border greater than your border?
Fahlawin ac liye siti Calneh. Na sifilpa oatula fahsr nu in siti lulap Hamath, na tufokla nu in siti Gath lun mwet Philistia. Ya acn ingan ku liki tokosrai lun Judah ac Israel? Ya acn lalos yohk liki acn lowos?
3 Woe to them, that put far away the day of evil, And bring near the seat of oppression;
Kowos tia lungse in fwack mu sie len in ongoiya ac tuku. A ma kowos oru ingan aksayema len sac.
4 That lie upon beds of ivory, And stretch themselves upon their couches; That eat lambs from the flock, And calves from the stall;
Ac mau fuka upaiya nu suwos su lungse oanoanla fin mwe muta wowo lowos, ac mongo ikwen cow fusr ac sheep fusr!
5 That chant to the sound of the harp, And invent for themselves instruments of music, like David;
Kowos lungse na kinala on sasu oana David, ac sritalkin ke mwe on nutuwos.
6 That drink wine in bowls, And anoint themselves with the most precious perfumes, But grieve not for the destruction of Joseph!
Kowos nwakla ahlu na lulap ke wain ac numla, ac kowos akmusrakin ono na keng, a kowos tiana asor ke musalla lun Israel.
7 Therefore now shall they go captive at the head of the captives; Yea, the shouting of them that stretch themselves upon their couches shall cease.
Ke ma inge kowos pa ac som emeet nu in sruoh. Kufwa lowos ac warongrong lowos an ac fah wanginla.
8 The Lord Jehovah hath sworn by himself, Thus saith Jehovah, the God of hosts: I abhor the pride of Jacob, And I hate his palaces; I will give up the city, and all that is therein.
LEUM GOD Fulat ac Kulana El orala sie wulela ku ke Inel, ac fahk, “Nga kwase inse fulat lun mwet Israel, ac nga tia pac kuhnkuni lohm lulap ac kato selos. Nga fah kitala siti fulat selos ac ma nukewa loac nu sin mwet lokoalok lalos.”
9 And if ten men remain in one house, These also shall die.
Fin pa oasr mwet singoul lula in sie lohm, elos kewa ac misa.
10 A man's relative, or a burner of the dead, shall take him up, To carry his bones out of the house, And he shall say to him that is in the innermost part of the house, Is there yet any one with thee? And he shall answer, No one! Then shall he say, Keep silence! For we may not make mention of the name of Jehovah.
Sie mwet ma sou lun sie mwet misa, su ma kunel in esukak monin mwet misa, fah usla mano sac liki lohm sac. El fah pang nu sin kutena su srakna muta in lohm ah, ac siyuk, “Oasr mwet lula ingan?” Na sie pusra ac fah topuk, “Wangin!” Na sou se lun mas uh fah fahk, “Koasrlong! Kut enenu in karinganangna kut in tia fahk Inen LEUM GOD.”
11 For behold Jehovah hath commanded, And he will smite the great house with breaches, And the small house with clefts.
Pacl se LEUM GOD El sapkin, na lohm lulap ac lohm srisrik nukewa fah kunanula nu ke ip srisrik.
12 Shall horses run upon rocks, Or will one plough rocks with oxen, That ye change justice into hemlock, And the fruit of equity into wormwood,
Mwet uh tia ku in sang cow uh kihling in meoa uh, oayapa horse uh tiana ku in kasrusr fin eot lulap. A kowos furokla nununku suwohs nu ke pwasin, ac ma pwaye nu ke ma sutuu uh.
13 Ye that rejoice in a thing of naught, And say, Have we not acquired dominion by our own strength?
Kowos filangkin mu kowos sruokya siti srisrik Lodebar lowos. Kowos konkin ac fahk, “Kut sruokya pac acn Karnaim ke ku lasr sifacna.”
14 Behold, O house of Israel, saith Jehovah, the God of hosts, I will raise against you a nation, That shall oppress you from Hamath Even to the brook of the desert.
LEUM GOD Kulana El sifacna fahk, “Mwet Israel, nga ac supwaot sie un mwet mweun liki sie facl sac in sruokya acn suwos ac mutala we. Elos ac fah akkeokye kowos, mutawauk ke Innek In Utyak Nu Hamath tafunyen epang, fahla nwe ke Infacl srisrik soko Arabah tafunyen eir.”
