< Amos 1 >
1 Pa inge kas lal Amos, sie mwet liyaung sheep, ac el mwet in siti srisrik Tekoa. Yac luo meet liki kusrusr se ma sikyak in acn Israel, God El fahkak nu sel Amos ke ma inge nukewa su ma nu sin mwet Israel. In pacl sac Uzziah el tokosra lun Judah, ac Jeroboam wen natul Jehoash, el tokosra lun Israel.
The words of Amos, one of the shepherds of Tekoa, which he prophesied concerning Israel in the days of Uzziah king of Judah, and in the days of Jeroboam, the son of Joash, king of Israel, two years before the earth quake. He said: —
2 Amos el fahk, “Pusren LEUM GOD ngirngir Fineol Zion me. Pusracl kasla oana pusren pulahl Jerusalem me. Insroan mah uh paola, Ac sak folfol insroa Fineol Carmel uli.”
Jehovah will roar from Zion, And utter his voice from Jerusalem; The habitations of the shepherds shall mourn, And the top of Carmel shall wither.
3 LEUM GOD El fahk, “Mwet Damascus elos kalweni na in oru ma koluk, ac ke sripa inge pwayena nga fah kalyaelos. Elos arulana sulallal in anwuk nu sin mwet Gilead.
Thus saith Jehovah; For three transgressions of Damascus, And for four, will I not turn away its punishment; For they thrashed Gilead with thrashing-wains of iron.
4 Ouinge nga fah supwala e nu fin lohm sin tokosra su musaiyukla sel Tokosra Hazael, ac nga fah esukak pot ku lal Tokosra Benhadad.
I will send a fire upon the house of Hazael, Which shall devour the palaces of Benhadad.
5 Nga fah lipikya mutunpot ke siti Damascus, ac moklela leum lun Betheden ac mwet muta Infahlfal Aven. Mwet Syria ac fah sruhu ac utukla nu Kir.”
I will also break the bar of Damascus, And I will destroy the inhabitant from the valley of Aven, And him that holdeth the sceptre from Beth-Eden, And the people of Syria shall be led captive to Kir: Jehovah hath said it.
6 LEUM GOD El fahk, “Mwet Gaza elos kalweni na in oru ma koluk, ac ke sripa inge pwayena nga fah kalyaelos. Elos usla un mwet puspis ac kukakunulosyang in mwet kohs nu sin mwet Edom.
Thus saith Jehovah: For three transgressions of Gaza, And for four, I will not turn away its punishment; For they led captive all that fell into their hands, And delivered them up to Edom.
7 Ouinge nga fah supwala e nu fin pot kuhlusyen siti Gaza, ac esukak pot ku lun acn we.
But I will send a fire upon the wall of Gaza, Which shall devour her palaces.
8 Nga fah sisla mwet leum lun siti Ashdod ac Ashkelon. Nga fah kalyei siti Ekron, ac mwet Philistia nukewa su lula fah misa.”
And I will destroy the inhabitant from Ashdod, And him that holdeth the sceptre from Ashkelon; And I will turn my hand against Ekron, And the residue of the Philistines shall perish. The Lord, Jehovah, hath said it.
9 LEUM GOD El fahk, “Mwet Tyre elos kalweni na in oru ma koluk, ac ke sripa inge pwayena nga fah kalyaelos. Elos usla un mwet puspis nu ke sruoh in acn Edom, ac tia karinganang wuleang in akasrui ma elos tuh orala.
Thus saith Jehovah: For three transgressions of Tyre, And for four, will I not turn away its punishment; Because they delivered up all their captives to Edom, And remembered not the brotherly covenant.
10 Ke ma inge nga fah supwala e nu fin pot kuhlusyen siti Tyre, ac esukak pot ku we.”
But I will send a fire on the wall of Tyre, Which shall devour her palaces.
11 LEUM GOD El fahk, “Mwet Edom elos kalweni na in oru ma koluk, ac ke sripa inge pwayena nga fah kalyaelos. Elos ukweya mwet wialos mwet Israel, ac tia pakoten nu selos. Kasrkusrak lalos arulana upa, tiana ku in wanginla.
Thus saith Jehovah: For three transgressions of Edom, And for four, will I not turn away his punishment; For he pursued his brother with the sword, And cast off all pity, And his anger tore perpetually; Yea, he kept his wrath forever.
12 Ouinge nga fah supwala e nu fin siti Teman, ac esukak pot ku lun Bozrah.”
But I will send a fire upon Teman. Which shall devour the palaces of Bozrah.
13 LEUM GOD El fahk, “Mwet Ammon elos kalweni na in oru ma koluk, ac ke sripa inge pwayena nga fah kalyaelos. Ke sripen elos kena akyokye acn selos elos som mweuni acn Gilead ac tiyala insien mutan pitutu we.
Thus saith Jehovah: For three transgressions of the children of Ammon, And for four, will I not turn away their punishment; For they ripped up the women with child of Gilead, That they might enlarge their border.
14 Ke ma inge nga fah supwala e nu fin pot kuhlusyen siti Rabbah, ac esukak pot ku we. Na ac fah oasr pusren sasa ke len in mweun, ac mweun uh fah ngisyak oana paka se.
But I will kindle a fire on the wall of Rabbah, Which shall devour her palaces, Amid the war-shout in the day of battle, In a whirlwind in the day of the storm.
15 Tokosra ac mwet pwapa lal fah utukla nu in sruoh.”
Their king shall go into captivity, He and his princes together, saith Jehovah.
