< Amos 6 >
1 Terrible things will happen to you people in Jerusalem who are not worried about anything, and also to you leaders who live on Samaria Hill who think that you are safe. [You think that] [IRO] you are the most important people [in the world], people to whom Israeli people [MTY] go [to get help].
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 But go to Calneh [city] and see [what happened there]. Then go to [see] the great [city] Hamath [and see what happened there]. Then go down to Gath [city] in Philistia [and see what happened to their city walls]. Your land/country is certainly not [RHQ] larger or more powerful than their countries were, [but they were all destroyed].
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 You are trying to not think about a day when you will experience disasters, when [your enemies will come and] violently attack you.
Kowos tia lungse in fwack mu sie len in ongoiya ac tuku. A ma kowos oru ingan aksayema len sac.
4 You lie on beds [decorated with expensive] ivory, and on [soft] couches. You eat [the tender meat of] lambs and fat calves.
Ac mau fuka upaiya nu suwos su lungse oanoanla fin mwe muta wowo lowos, ac mongo ikwen cow fusr ac sheep fusr!
5 You create/compose new songs and play them on your harps like [King] David did.
Kowos lungse na kinala on sasu oana David, ac sritalkin ke mwe on nutuwos.
6 You drink entire bowlfuls of wine and you put expensive oils/perfumes on your bodies, but you do not grieve about [your country of] Israel [MTY], which is about to be destroyed.
Kowos nwakla ahlu na lulap ke wain ac numla, ac kowos akmusrakin ono na keng, a kowos tiana asor ke musalla lun Israel.
7 Your feasting and lounging [on soft couches] will soon end, and you will be among the first ones to be forced [by your enemies] to go (into exile/to another country).
Ke ma inge kowos pa ac som emeet nu in sruoh. Kufwa lowos ac warongrong lowos an ac fah wanginla.
8 Yahweh the Lord has solemnly declared this: “I hate the people of Israel because they are very proud; I detest their fortresses. I will enable [their enemies] to capture their [capital] city and everything in it.”
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 [When that happens, ] if there are ten people in one house, they will all die.
Fin pa oasr mwet singoul lula in sie lohm, elos kewa ac misa.
10 If a relative who (has the task of/is responsible for) burning their corpses comes to the house and inquires of anyone who is still hiding there, “Is there anyone here with you?”, and that person replies “No,” [the one who inquired] will say, “Be quiet! We must not mention the name of Yahweh, [lest he cause us also to be killed]!”
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 [Terrible things like that will happen] because Yahweh has commanded that large houses [in Israel] must be smashed into pieces, and small houses must be smashed into tiny bits.
Pacl se LEUM GOD El sapkin, na lohm lulap ac lohm srisrik nukewa fah kunanula nu ke ip srisrik.
12 Horses certainly do not [RHQ] run on big rocks, and certainly people do not [RHQ] plow the sea with oxen. But you have [done things that no one should do]: You have distorted what is fair/right and caused it to be considered like poison [MET]; you have changed what is right and consider it to be like things that are bitter.
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 You are proud because you have captured Lo-Debar [town], and you have said, “We captured Karnaim by our own power!”
Kowos filangkin mu kowos sruokya siti srisrik Lodebar lowos. Kowos konkin ac fahk, “Kut sruokya pac acn Karnaim ke ku lasr sifacna.”
14 But the Commander of the armies of angels declares, “I will cause another nation to attack you people [MTY] of Israel; they will (oppress you/cause you to suffer) all the way from Hamath Pass [in the northwest] to the Dead Sea [in the southeast].”
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.”
