Amos 3

1 Mwet Israel, porongo kas inge su LEUM GOD El fahk keiwos, mutunfacl nufon se su El kolma liki Egypt, ac fahk:

Hear this word that Jehovah has spoken against you, O sons of Israel, against the whole family which I brought up out of the land of Egypt, saying,

2 “Inmasrlon mutunfacl nukewa fin faclu, kowos mukena pa nga sulela ac arulana nunku kac, pa pwanang ma koluk kowos orala arulana yohk nunkeya sik. Ac pa inge sripa se oru nga enenu in kalyei kowos.”

You only I have known of all the families of the earth. Therefore I will visit upon you all your iniquities.

3 Ya mwet luo ku in tukeni fahsr nu yen se elos fin tia aetuila meet?

Shall two walk together unless they have agreed?

4 Ya lion soko ku in ngutngut insak uh fin wangin ma el akola in uniya? Ya soko lion fusr el kou in luf sel fin wangin ma el sruokya?

Will a lion roar in the forest, when he has no prey? Will a young lion cry out of his den, if he has taken nothing?

5 Ya sie won ku in sruhu in sruhf se fin wangin pa itukyang nu kac? Sruhf se ku in pisryak fin wangin ma toanya in pusrukak?

Can a bird fall in a snare upon the earth, where no net is set for him? Shall a snare spring up from the ground, and have taken nothing at all?

6 Mwe ukuk lun mweun fin kasla in siti uh, ya mwet uh ku in tia sangeng? Ya mwe ongoiya ku in sun sie siti fin tia ma LEUM GOD El supwama?

Shall the trumpet be blown in a city, and the people not be afraid? Shall evil befall a city, and Jehovah has not done it?

7 LEUM GOD Fulat El tia ku in oru kutena ma El fin tia akkalemye meet nu sin mwet kulansap lal, mwet palu.

Surely the lord Jehovah will do nothing unless he reveals his secret to his servants the prophets.

8 Lion soko fin ngutngut, su ac tia sangeng kac? Pacl LEUM GOD Fulat El kaskas, su ku in kutongya ac tia fahkelik?

The lion has roared, who will not fear? The lord Jehovah has spoken, who can but prophesy?

9 Fahkak nu selos su muta inkul fulat in acn Egypt ac in siti Ashdod, ac fahk, “Fahsreni nu fin inging rauneak Samaria, ac liye fohs lulap ac ma koluk yohk ma orek in acn we.”

Publish ye in the palaces at Ashdod, and in the palaces in the land of Egypt, and say, Assemble yourselves upon the mountains of Samaria, and behold what great tumults are in it, and what oppressions are in the midst of it.

10 LEUM GOD El fahk, “Mwet inge nwakla lohm lulap selos ke ma elos eisla ke inkanek koluk ac sulallal. Elos tiana etu in moul suwohs ac pwaye.

For they do not know to do right, says Jehovah, who store up violence and robbery in their palaces.

11 Ke ma inge mwet lokoalok fah raunela acn selos, kunausla nien wikwik ku lalos, ac pisrala koanon lohm lulap selos.”

Therefore thus says the lord Jehovah: An adversary shall be, even round about the land, and he shall bring down thy strength from thee, and thy palaces shall be plundered.

12 LEUM GOD El fahk, “Oana ke sie mwet shepherd el ac srukak nia luo na, ku la insren soko sheep ma soko lion kangla, ouinge mwet pu na sin mwet Samaria ac fah moulla, wi siena ipin mwe oan kialos, ku ip srisrik ke mwe muta fisrasrsrasr lalos.

Thus says Jehovah: As the shepherd rescues out of the mouth of the lion two legs, or a piece of an ear, so shall the sons of Israel be rescued who sit in Samaria in the corner of a couch, and on the silken cushions of a bed.

13 LEUM GOD Fulat ac Kulana El fahk, “Inge kowos in porongo, ac sulkakin ma inge nu sin fwil natul Jacob.

Hear ye, and testify against the house of Jacob, says the lord Jehovah, the God of hosts.

14 Ke pacl se nga ac kalyei mwet Israel ke sripen ma koluk lalos uh, nga ac fah kunausla loang in siti Bethel. Insruwasrik ke loang nukewa fah kipatpat uh ac putatla nu infohk uh.

For in the day that I shall visit the transgressions of Israel upon him, I will also visit the altars of Bethel, and the horns of the altar shall be cut off, and fall to the ground.

15 Nga fah kunausla lohm ma musaiyuk nu ke pacl mihsrisr, ac lohm nu ke pacl fol. Lohm nukewa ma naweyukla ke ivory fah ikori ac mwesri, ac lohm lulap nukewa fah musalla.”

And I will smite the winter house with the summer house, and the houses of ivory shall perish, and the great houses shall have an end, says Jehovah.
