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 hath spoken against you, children of Israel, against the whole family that I brought up from 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 have I known of all the families of the earth; therefore will I 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 except they be 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 hath no prey? Will a young lion cry out of his den if he have 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 when no gin [is laid] for him? Will the snare spring up from the earth when nothing at all hath been taken?

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 a trumpet be blown in the city, and the people not be afraid? Shall there be evil in a city, and Jehovah not have 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.

But the Lord Jehovah will do nothing, but he revealeth his secret unto 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 hath roared, — who will not fear? The Lord Jehovah hath 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 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 the great uproar in the midst thereof, and the oppressions that are within her:

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.

and they know not to do right, saith Jehovah, who store up violence and plunder 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 saith the Lord Jehovah: An adversary! — even round about the land! And he shall bring down thy strength from thee, and thy palaces shall be pillaged.

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 saith Jehovah: Like as the shepherd rescueth out of the jaw of the lion two legs, or a piece of an ear; so shall the children of Israel be rescued that sit in Samaria in the corner of a couch, and upon the damask 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 in the house of Jacob, saith 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.

that in the day that I shall visit the transgressions of Israel upon him, I will also punish 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 many houses shall have an end, saith Jehovah.
