< Amos 3 >

1 “You people of Israel, I brought all your ancestors out of Egypt; so listen to what I am saying about you.
Hagi Israeli vahe'ma mika'a Isipiti'ma tamavreno e'nea vahe'motagu'ma Ra Anumzamo'ma keagama huneramantea nanekea antahiho.
2 From all the people-groups on the earth, I [chose and] took care of only you. That is the reason that I will punish you for the sins that you have committed.”
Ama mopafima nagate nofite'ma hu'za mani'nafintira tamagri huhampri tamante'na Nagri vahe mani'naze hu'noe. E'ina hu'negu Israeli vahe'mota maka kumi'ma hazarera knazana tamina tamazeri haviza hugahue.
3 Two [people] certainly cannot [RHQ] walk together if they have not [already] agreed [about what place they will start walking from].
Hagi tare vahe'moke'ma magoka vugahu'e hukema kema retro osu'nesukea, magoke kantera knare amnea vugahapi?
4 A lion certainly does not [RHQ] roar in the bushes/forest if it has not killed another animal. It does not [RHQ] growl in its den if it is not eating [the flesh of an animal that it has caught].
Hagi laionimo'ma mago zagagafama ohe'nenuno'a amanea krafa hugahio? Hagi anenta laionimo'ma havegampima ne'zama one mani'nenuno'a, amane krafa hugahifi?
5 No one can [RHQ] catch a bird if [he does] not [set] a trap for it. A trap does not spring shut unless some [animal] has not sprung the trap.
Hagi nama'ma azeriku'ma krifuma ome anaginte'neno anampinkama ami'mi huno azeri'nigu'ma ne'zama onte'nenkeno'a, amane namamo'a ana krifufina ufregahifi? Krifuma anaginte'nenia zafamo'a agra'a amanea ruhategahifi?
6 [Similarly, all] the people in a city certainly [RHQ] become afraid when [they hear someone] blowing a trumpet [to signal that enemies are attacking]. And when a city experiences disaster, Yahweh is the one who has caused it [RHQ].
Hagi ha'ma hu ufema rankumapinti'ma renkeno'a, ana kumapima nemaniza vahe'mo'za fru hu'za manigahazafi? Hifi mago kumamo'ma knazampima unefreana Ra Anumzamo'a ana knazana keno antahino osu'negeno ne-efi?
7 And whatever Yahweh plans to do, he tells his prophets about it.
Hagi Ra Anumzamo'a nazanoma hunaku'ma oku'ama retroma nehia antahintahia eri'za vahe'a kasnampa vahetami nezamasamie.
8 Everyone certainly becomes terrified [RHQ] when they hear a lion roar, and if Yahweh the Lord has given messages [to prophets like me], we certainly must [RHQ] proclaim those messages, [even if they cause people to become terrified].
Hanki laionimo'ma krafama hanigeno'a, iza korora osugahie huta hugahune? Hagi hanavenentake Ra Anumzamo ama nanekea nehianki, iza ama ana kasnampa kea hugahie?
9 [I said this to the leaders of Samaria] (OR, [Yahweh said this to me]): Send this message to the leaders [MET] in Ashdod [city] and to Egypt: “Come to the hills of Samaria and see [the way that their (leaders/wealthy people)] are causing people in that city to be terrified, and [the way that they] are causing the people to suffer!”
Hagi ama nanekea Asdoti vihu kumapima nemani'za vahe'ene Isipi kumapima nemaniza vahera zamasamiho. Hagi zamagra Sameria agonaramimpi omeri atru hu'za mani'neza, miko kefo zamavu'zamava zama nehaza zana keho.
10 Yahweh says that the people there do not know how to do things that are right. Their homes are filled with [valuable things] that they have stolen or [taken] violently [from others].
Hagi Nagri knare navu' navama hu'zana zamagenekanigeno, hanave vihuma me'nea kumazamifina ha'ma orente arente hu'zamo'ene kumazafa zamo'ene hazenke zamo'a avite'ne huno Ra Anumzamo'a hu'ne.
11 So Yahweh [our] God says that [soon] their enemies will come and tear down their (defenses/high city walls) and take away those valuable things.
E'ina hu'nagu Ra Anumzamo'a huno, Ha' vahe'zmimo'za eza maka hanave vihu keginama hu'naza kumazmia eri haviza nehu'za, mika'zazmia rohu eme zamare'za erivagare'za vugahaze hu'ne.
12 Yahweh has declared this: “When a lion attacks a sheep, [sometimes] a shepherd will be able to snatch from the lion’s mouth only two legs or an ear of the sheep. Similarly, [only] a few people from Samaria will escape, and [they will be able to rescue only] a part of a couch and a part of a bed.”
Hagi Ra Anumzamo'a huno, Sipisipi afute kva vahe'mo'ma laionimofo agipinti'ma sipisipi afu'mofo agarareno agesama eri variankna huno, Sameria kumapima nemani'za Israeli vahera osia zamagu vazigahie. E'ina'ma hania zamo'a tafe'ma masi'za nemaniza tavravema osi'a eri sgane hu'za vazankna hugahie.
13 The Commander of the armies of angels said this: “Proclaim [this message] about the descendants [MTY] of Jacob:
Hagi Ra Anumzana Monafi sondia vahe'mofo Anumzamo'a huno, Ama nanekea antahiteta Jekopu naga nofira koro kea huzmanteho.
14 When I, Yahweh, punish [the people of] Israel because of the sins that they have committed, I will cause the altars at Bethel [town] to be destroyed; even the projections at the corners of the altars will be cut off and fall to the ground.
Nagrama Israeli vahe'mo'zama hu'naza kumite'ma knazama zami'nua knazupa, Betelima me'nea kresramana vu ita eri haviza hugahue. Hagi ana kresramana vu itamofo pazive'a, ruhantagi atresugeno mopafi evuramigahie.
15 I will cause the houses [that they live in during] the (winter/rainy season) and those [in which they live during] the (summer/dry season) to be torn down. [Beautiful] big houses and houses [that are decorated] with ivory will be destroyed. [That will surely happen because I], Yahweh, have said it!”
Hagi Nagra zasi knafima mani'nagu'ma kinte'naza nontamine, zage knafima mani'nagu'ma kinte'naza nontamine, elefanti aveteti'ma knare'nare nontamima kinte'naza nontamina eri haviza hugahue huno Ra Anumzamo'a hu'ne.
