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 the LORD hath spoken against you, O children 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 have I 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?

Will two walk together, except 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 hath no prey? Will a young lion give forth his voice 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?

Will a bird fall in a snare upon the earth, where there is no lure for it? Will 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 horn be blown in a city, and the people not tremble? Shall evil befall a city, and the LORD hath 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.

For the Lord GOD will do nothing, but He revealeth His counsel 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 GOD 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.”

Proclaim it upon the palaces at Ashdod, and upon the palaces in the land of Egypt, and say: 'Assemble yourselves upon the mountains of Samaria, and behold the great confusions therein, and the oppressions in the midst thereof.'

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 know not to do right, saith the LORD, 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 saith the Lord GOD: An adversary, even round about the land! And he shall bring down thy strength from thee, and thy palaces shall be spoiled.

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 the LORD: As the shepherd rescueth out of the mouth of the lion two legs, or a piece of an ear, so shall the children of Israel that dwell in Samaria escape with the corner of a couch, and the leg 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, saith the Lord GOD, 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 punish the altars of Beth-el, 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, saith the LORD.
