< Amos 4 >

1 Hear ye this word, ye heifers of Bashan, that are in the mountain of Samaria, who oppress the poor, who crush the needy, —who say to their lords, Bring in, and let us drink!
Porongo kas inge, kowos mutan Samaria, su fatelik oana cow fact in acn Bashan. Kowos oru koluk nu sin mwet munas, ac akkeokye mwet sukasrup, ac kowos kifasten nu sin mukul tomowos in usot mwe sruhi nimowos.
2 Sworn hath My Lord, Yahweh, by his own holiness, That lo! days, are coming upon you, —when he will take you away with hooks, and your followers with fishhooks;
LEUM GOD Fulat El wulela ke Ine mutal lal, ac fahk, “Pwayena len se ac fah tuku ke mwet uh fah srumasrkowosla ke ka, ac amakinkowosla. Kais sie suwos ac fah oana soko ik sremla ke ka uh.
3 And, through fissures, shall ye go out, every woman, straight before her, —and ye shall be thrust forth towards the castle, Declareth Yahweh.
Ac fah amala kowos nu ke acn ma patla ke pot uh, ac tolokla kowos nu likin kalkal uh.”
4 Enter ye Bethel, and transgress, At Gilgal, cause transgression, to abound, —Yea, carry in, every morning, your sacrifices, every three days, your tithes;
LEUM GOD Fulat El fahk, “Mwet Israel, ke kowos lungse na oru ma koluk, tari fahla nu Bethel, acn mutal, ac oru ke kuiyowos nufon! Fahla nu Gilgal ac laesla orekma koluk lowos! Use kosro uh ac orek kisa ke lotutang nukewa, ac use pac sie tafu singoul ke len aktolu nukewa.
5 Yea, burn thou incense, of that which is leavened, as a thank-offering, and proclaim ye freewill-offerings, let them be known, —for, so, ye love [to have it], ye sons of Israel, Declareth My Lord, Yahweh.
Us na bread tuh in mwe sang kulo lowos nu sin God, ac konkin ke ma kowos sang in laesla mwe sang lowos an. Mweyen pa ingan ma kowos muta lungse oru.
6 Moreover also, I, have given you cleanness of teeth throughout all your cities, and want of bread throughout all your dwelling-places, —Yet have ye not returned unto me, Declareth Yahweh.
“Nga pa pwanang in oasr sracl in acn suwos nukewa. Ne ouinge, kowos tiana foloko nu yuruk.
7 Moreover also, I, have withholden from you the abundant rain, when yet there were only three mouths to the harvest, Or I might rain upon one city, and, on another city, might not rain, —One portion, would be rained upon, and, the portion whereupon it should not rain, would be dried up;
Nga tulokinya in tia af ke pacl se sacn sunowos enenu na af yohk. Nga lela in af ke sie siti, a wangin af ke sie pac siti. Af kahkla nu fin sie ima, a ima saya pulamlamlana.
8 Then would two or three cities totter to one city to drink water, without being satisfied, —Yet have ye not returned unto me, Declareth Yahweh.
Ke sripen elos kofla muteng malu lalos, mwet in siti puspis som sukok kof in sie pacna siti, tuh tiana fal in kitalos. Ne ouinge kowos tia pacna foloko nu yuruk.
9 I have smitten you with blight and with mildew, When your gardens and your vineyards and your fig-trees and your olive-trees have increased, the creeping locust would devour them, —Yet have ye not returned unto me, Declareth Yahweh.
“Nga supwala sie eng fol tuh in fulokla sacn sunowos. Locust uh kangla ima in mahsrik, ima in grape, sak fig ac sak olive sunowos, a kowos srak pacna tia foloko nu yuruk.
10 I have sent among you pestilence, in the manner of Egypt, I have slain, with the sword, your young men, and therewith have been taken captive your horses, And I have caused to ascend—the stench of your camps, even into your own nostrils, Yet ye have not returned unto me, Declareth Yahweh.
“Nga sot sie kain mas upa nu fowos oana ke nga tuh oru nu fin acn Egypt. Nga onela mukul fusr nutuwos ke mweun, ac eisla horse nutuwos. Nga nwakla infwewos ke foulin mwet misa in nien aktuktuk lowos. A kowos tia pacna foloko nu yuruk.
11 I have made an overthrew among you, like the divine overthrow of Sodom and Gomorrah, and ye have become like a brand snatched out of the burning, —Yet hate ye not returned unto me, Declareth Yahweh.
“Nga kunausla kutu suwos oana nga tuh kunausla Sodom ac Gomorrah. Kowos su moulla, kowos oana wosr se itukla liki e. A kowos tia pacna foloko nu yuruk.” LEUM GOD El fahk ouinge.
12 Therefore, thus, will I do unto thee, O Israel, —Because this thing I will do unto thee, Prepare to meet thy God, O Israel.
“Ke ma inge, nga fah kalyei kowos, mwet Israel. Ac ke sripa se inge, kowos in akola in tu ye mutuk ke pacl in nununku luk!”
13 For lo! He that fashioned the mountains, and created the wind, and who telleth the son of earth what is his thought, who turneth dawn into darkness, and marcheth upon the high places of the earth, Yahweh, God of hosts, is his name!
God pa orala fineol uh, Ac orala eng uh. El oru tuh nunak lal in eteyuk sin mwet uh. El ekulla len uh nu ke fong. El leumi faclu nufon. Inel pa inge: LEUM GOD Kulana!
