< Amos 6 >

1 Alas for the careless in Zion, and for them who put confidence in the mountain of Samaria, —the distinguished among the first group of nations, to whom came in the house of Israel.
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 ye over to Calneh, and see, and go on from thence to Hamath the great, —and go down to Gath of the Philistines, are they better than these kingdoms? or their boundary larger than your boundary?
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 Ye who are putting far away the day of calamity, —but bringing near the abode of violence:
Kowos tia lungse in fwack mu sie len in ongoiya ac tuku. A ma kowos oru ingan aksayema len sac.
4 Who are lying on beds of ivory, and sprawling on their couch of pleasure, —and eating the well-fed of the flock, and the fatted calves out of the midst of the stalls:
Ac mau fuka upaiya nu suwos su lungse oanoanla fin mwe muta wowo lowos, ac mongo ikwen cow fusr ac sheep fusr!
5 Who are bawling at the bidding of the harp, —like David, have they invented for themselves instruments of song:
Kowos lungse na kinala on sasu oana David, ac sritalkin ke mwe on nutuwos.
6 Who are quaffing bowls of wine, and, with the best of oils, anointing themselves, —and are not afflicted for the injury 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, at once, shall they go into exile among the first of the exiles, —so shall be disturbed the revelry of sprawlers.
Ke ma inge kowos pa ac som emeet nu in sruoh. Kufwa lowos ac warongrong lowos an ac fah wanginla.
8 Sworn hath the Lord, Yahweh, by his own life, Declareth Yahweh, God of hosts, abhorring am I, the grandeur of Jacob, and, his palaces, I hate, —therefore will I cast off the city and the fulness thereof.
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 it shall come to pass, though there be left remaining ten men in one house, yet shall they die;
Fin pa oasr mwet singoul lula in sie lohm, elos kewa ac misa.
10 And a man’s near of kin, even he who is about to burn the bones, shall carry him out of the house, when he shall say to him that is in the hinder parts of the house—Are there yet any with thee? and he shall say—No one. Then shall he say—Hush! for we must not invoke the name of Yahweh.
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 lo! Yahweh, is giving command, and will smite the great house into ruins, —and the little 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 crag? or will a man plough [there] with oxen? For ye have turned to poison the sentence of justice, and the fruit of righteousness, to 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 Who rejoice in a thing of nought, —who say, Have we not by our own strength, taken to ourselves horns?
Kowos filangkin mu kowos sruokya siti srisrik Lodebar lowos. Kowos konkin ac fahk, “Kut sruokya pac acn Karnaim ke ku lasr sifacna.”
14 For behold me! raising up against you, O house of Israel, Declareth Yahweh, the God of hosts—a nation! And they shall crush you, from the entering in of Hamath, unto the torrent-bed of the waste plain.
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.”
