< Amos 4 >
1 Porongo kas inge, kowos mutan Samaria, su fatelik oana cow fact in acn Bashan. Kowos oru koluk nu sin mwet munas, ac akkeokye mwet sukasrup, ac kowos kifasten nu sin mukul tomowos in usot mwe sruhi nimowos.
Hear this word, you cows of Bashan on Mount Samaria, you women who oppress the poor and crush the needy, who say to your husbands, “Bring us more to drink.”
2 LEUM GOD Fulat El wulela ke Ine mutal lal, ac fahk, “Pwayena len se ac fah tuku ke mwet uh fah srumasrkowosla ke ka, ac amakinkowosla. Kais sie suwos ac fah oana soko ik sremla ke ka uh.
The Lord GOD has sworn by His holiness: “Behold, the days are coming when you will be taken away with hooks, and your posterity with fishhooks.
3 Ac fah amala kowos nu ke acn ma patla ke pot uh, ac tolokla kowos nu likin kalkal uh.”
You will go out through broken walls, each one straight ahead of her, and you will be cast out toward Harmon,”
4 LEUM GOD Fulat El fahk, “Mwet Israel, ke kowos lungse na oru ma koluk, tari fahla nu Bethel, acn mutal, ac oru ke kuiyowos nufon! Fahla nu Gilgal ac laesla orekma koluk lowos! Use kosro uh ac orek kisa ke lotutang nukewa, ac use pac sie tafu singoul ke len aktolu nukewa.
“Go to Bethel and transgress; rebel even more at Gilgal! Bring your sacrifices every morning, your tithes every three days.
5 Us na bread tuh in mwe sang kulo lowos nu sin God, ac konkin ke ma kowos sang in laesla mwe sang lowos an. Mweyen pa ingan ma kowos muta lungse oru.
Offer leavened bread as a thank offering, and loudly proclaim your freewill offerings. For that is what you children of Israel love to do,”
6 “Nga pa pwanang in oasr sracl in acn suwos nukewa. Ne ouinge, kowos tiana foloko nu yuruk.
“I beset all your cities with cleanness of teeth and all your towns with lack of bread, yet you did not return to Me,”
7 Nga tulokinya in tia af ke pacl se sacn sunowos enenu na af yohk. Nga lela in af ke sie siti, a wangin af ke sie pac siti. Af kahkla nu fin sie ima, a ima saya pulamlamlana.
“I also withheld the rain from you when the harvest was three months away. I sent rain on one city but withheld it from another. One field received rain; another without rain withered.
8 Ke sripen elos kofla muteng malu lalos, mwet in siti puspis som sukok kof in sie pacna siti, tuh tiana fal in kitalos. Ne ouinge kowos tia pacna foloko nu yuruk.
People staggered from city to city for water to drink, but they were not satisfied; yet you did not return to Me,”
9 “Nga supwala sie eng fol tuh in fulokla sacn sunowos. Locust uh kangla ima in mahsrik, ima in grape, sak fig ac sak olive sunowos, a kowos srak pacna tia foloko nu yuruk.
“I struck you with blight and mildew in your growing gardens and vineyards; the locust devoured your fig and olive trees, yet you did not return to Me,”
10 “Nga sot sie kain mas upa nu fowos oana ke nga tuh oru nu fin acn Egypt. Nga onela mukul fusr nutuwos ke mweun, ac eisla horse nutuwos. Nga nwakla infwewos ke foulin mwet misa in nien aktuktuk lowos. A kowos tia pacna foloko nu yuruk.
“I sent plagues among you like those of Egypt; I killed your young men with the sword, along with your captured horses. I filled your nostrils with the stench of your camp, yet you did not return to Me,”
11 “Nga kunausla kutu suwos oana nga tuh kunausla Sodom ac Gomorrah. Kowos su moulla, kowos oana wosr se itukla liki e. A kowos tia pacna foloko nu yuruk.” LEUM GOD El fahk ouinge.
“Some of you I overthrew as I overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah, and you were like a firebrand snatched from a blaze, yet you did not return to Me,”
12 “Ke ma inge, nga fah kalyei kowos, mwet Israel. Ac ke sripa se inge, kowos in akola in tu ye mutuk ke pacl in nununku luk!”
“Therefore, that is what I will do to you, O Israel, and since I will do this to you, prepare to meet your God, O Israel!
13 God pa orala fineol uh, Ac orala eng uh. El oru tuh nunak lal in eteyuk sin mwet uh. El ekulla len uh nu ke fong. El leumi faclu nufon. Inel pa inge: LEUM GOD Kulana!
For behold, He who forms the mountains, who creates the wind and reveals His thoughts to man, who turns the dawn to darkness and strides on the heights of the earth— the LORD, the God of Hosts, is His name.”
