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 YHWH has spoken concerning you, O sons of Israel, concerning all the 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.”

“Only you have I known of all families of the earth, Therefore I charge on you all your iniquities.”

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

Do two walk together if they have not met?

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?

Does a lion roar in a forest and he has no prey? Does a young lion give out his voice from his habitation, If he has not caught?

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?

Does a bird fall into a snare of the earth, And there is no trap for it? Does a snare go up from the ground, And it does not capture prey?

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?

Is a horn blown in a city, And do people not tremble? Is there affliction in a city, And YHWH 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.

For Lord YHWH does nothing, Except He has revealed His counsel 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?

A lion has roared—who does not fear? Lord YHWH has spoken—who does not 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.”

“Sound to palaces in Ashdod, And to palaces in the land of Egypt, and say: Be gathered on mountains of Samaria, And see many troubles within her, And oppressed ones in her midst.

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 have not known to act straightforwardly,” A declaration of YHWH, “Who are treasuring up violence and spoil 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 said Lord YHWH: “An adversary—and surrounding the land, And he has brought down your strength from you, And your palaces have been 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 said YHWH: “As the shepherd delivers from the lion’s mouth Two legs, or a piece of an ear, So the sons of Israel are delivered, Who are sitting in Samaria on the corner of a bed, And in Damascus [on that of] a couch.

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

Hear and testify to the house of Jacob,” A declaration of Lord YHWH, 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 of My charging the transgressions of Israel on him, I have laid a charge on the altars of Beth-El, And the horns of the altar have been cut off, And they have fallen to the earth.

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 have struck the winter-house with the summer-house, And houses of ivory have perished, And many houses have been consumed,” A declaration of YHWH!
