Amos 1
1 Uzziah Judah siangpahrang ah ohhaih saning ah, Joash capa Jeroboam doeh Israel siangpahrang ah oh, talih hnaw ai ah ohhaih saning hnetto haih naah, Tekoa avang ih tuutoep kami maeto ah kaom, Amos mah thuih ih loknawk hoi hnuk ih Israel kawng loe atlim ih baktiah oh.
The words of Amos, one of the shepherds of Tekoa, which he prophesied concerning Israel in the days of Uzziah king of Judah, and in the days of Jeroboam, the son of Joash, king of Israel, two years before the earth quake. He said: —
2 Anih mah, Angraeng loe Zion hoiah hang ueloe, Jerusalem hoiah lokthui tih, to naah tuutoep kami ohhaih ahmuennawk loe angqo ueloe, Karmel mae doeh zaisut tih, tiah thuih.
Jehovah will roar from Zion, And utter his voice from Jerusalem; The habitations of the shepherds shall mourn, And the top of Carmel shall wither.
3 Damaska loe Gilead ih prae to cang kaehhaih set hoiah, vai thumto maw, vai palito maw zaehaih sak pongah, danpaekhaih ka zuk let mak ai, tiah Angraeng mah thuih.
Thus saith Jehovah; For three transgressions of Damascus, And for four, will I not turn away its punishment; For they thrashed Gilead with thrashing-wains of iron.
4 Hazael imthung ah hmai ka patoeh han, to hmai mah Benhadad angraenghaih ahmuennawk to kang tih.
I will send a fire upon the house of Hazael, Which shall devour the palaces of Benhadad.
5 Damaska khongkha doeh ka phraek moe, Aven azawn ah kaom kaminawk to ka hum pacoengah, Eden imthung hoi cunghet sin kaminawk doeh ka hum han. Syria kaminawk loe Kir ah tamna ah om o tih, tiah Angraeng mah thuih.
I will also break the bar of Damascus, And I will destroy the inhabitant from the valley of Aven, And him that holdeth the sceptre from Beth-Eden, And the people of Syria shall be led captive to Kir: Jehovah hath said it.
6 Gaza vangpui ih zaehaih thumto hoi palito haih pacoengah, anih loe pop parai kaminawk to tamna ah naeh moe, Edom khaeah paek pongah, danpaekhaih ka zuk let mak ai, tiah Angraeng mah thuih.
Thus saith Jehovah: For three transgressions of Gaza, And for four, I will not turn away its punishment; For they led captive all that fell into their hands, And delivered them up to Edom.
7 Kai mah Gaza vangpui ih tapang nuiah hmai ka patoeh han, to hmai mah angraeng ohhaih ahmuennawk to kang tih:
But I will send a fire upon the wall of Gaza, Which shall devour her palaces.
8 Ashdod vangpui kaminawk to ka hum moe, Ashkelon vangpui hoi cunghet sin kami to ka hum han: Ekron khaeah ban ka paqoi han, kanghmat Philistin kaminawk loe anghmaa angtaa o tih, tiah Angraeng Sithaw mah thuih.
And I will destroy the inhabitant from Ashdod, And him that holdeth the sceptre from Ashkelon; And I will turn my hand against Ekron, And the residue of the Philistines shall perish. The Lord, Jehovah, hath said it.
9 Angraeng mah, Tura vangpui ih zaehaih thumto hoi palito haih pacoengah, anih mah nawkamya loksuekhaih to tidoeh sah ai ah, a naeh ih kaminawk boih Edom khaeah paek pongah, danpaekhaih ka zuk let mak ai, tiah thuih.
Thus saith Jehovah: For three transgressions of Tyre, And for four, will I not turn away its punishment; Because they delivered up all their captives to Edom, And remembered not the brotherly covenant.
10 Tura vangpui ih tapang nuiah hmai ka patoeh han, to hmai mah siangpahrang ohhaih ahmuennawk to kang tih.
But I will send a fire on the wall of Tyre, Which shall devour her palaces.
11 Angraeng mah, Edom prae ih zaehaih thumto hoi palito haih pacoengah, anih loe palungnathaih tawn ai ah, amnawk to sumsen hoiah patom; palungphuihaih to a suek poe, anih mah palung a phuihaih to dipsak ai pongah, anih danpaekhaih to ka zuk let mak ai, tiah thuih.
Thus saith Jehovah: For three transgressions of Edom, And for four, will I not turn away his punishment; For he pursued his brother with the sword, And cast off all pity, And his anger tore perpetually; Yea, he kept his wrath forever.
12 Toe Teman vangpui nuiah hmai ka patoeh han, to hmai mah Bozrah vangpui ih angraeng haih ahmuennawk to kang tih.
But I will send a fire upon Teman. Which shall devour the palaces of Bozrah.
13 Angraeng mah, Ammon kaminawk zaehaih thumto hoi palito haih pacoengah, nihcae mah ramri to kawksak thai hanah, Gilead prae ih nongpatanawk to naeh moe, a caa hoi bangkrai ah suek o sut pongah, danpaekhaih ka zuk let mak ai, tiah thuih.
Thus saith Jehovah: For three transgressions of the children of Ammon, And for four, will I not turn away their punishment; For they ripped up the women with child of Gilead, That they might enlarge their border.
14 Rabbah vangpui tapang nuiah hmai ka patoeh han, hmai mah angraeng ohhaih im to kang tih; takhi sae song na niah kaom hmuen baktiah, misanawk mah hanghaih hoiah tuh o tih.
But I will kindle a fire on the wall of Rabbah, Which shall devour her palaces, Amid the war-shout in the day of battle, In a whirlwind in the day of the storm.
15 Nihcae ih siangpahrang hoi angmah ih ukkung angraengnawk loe nawnto tamna ah caeh o boih tih, tiah Angraeng mah thuih.
Their king shall go into captivity, He and his princes together, saith Jehovah.
