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.
Words of Amos — who hath been among herdsmen of Tekoa — that he hath seen concerning Israel, in the days of Uzziah king of Judah, and in the days of Jeroboam son of Joash king of Israel, two years before the shaking;
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.
and he saith: Jehovah from Zion doth roar, And from Jerusalem giveth forth His voice, And mourned have pastures of the shepherds, And withered hath the top of Carmel!
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.
And thus said Jehovah: For three transgressions of Damascus, And for four, I do not reverse it, Because of their threshing Gilead with sharp-pointed irons,
4 Hazael imthung ah hmai ka patoeh han, to hmai mah Benhadad angraenghaih ahmuennawk to kang tih.
And I have sent a fire against the house of Hazael, And it hath consumed the palaces of Ben-Hadad.
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.
And I have broken the bar of Damascus, And cut off the inhabitant from Bikat-Aven, And a holder of a sceptre from Beth-Eden, And removed have been the people of Aram to Kir, said Jehovah.
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 said Jehovah: For three transgressions of Gaza, And for four, I do not reverse it, Because of their removing a complete captivity, To deliver up to Edom,
7 Kai mah Gaza vangpui ih tapang nuiah hmai ka patoeh han, to hmai mah angraeng ohhaih ahmuennawk to kang tih:
And I have sent a fire against the wall of Gaza, And it hath consumed 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 have cut off the inhabitant from Ashdod, And a holder of a sceptre from Ashkelon, And have turned back My hand against Ekron, And perished have the remnant of the Philistines, Said the Lord Jehovah.
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 said Jehovah: For three transgressions of Tyre, And for four, I do not reverse it, Because of their delivering up a complete captivity to Edom, And they remembered not the brotherly covenant,
10 Tura vangpui ih tapang nuiah hmai ka patoeh han, to hmai mah siangpahrang ohhaih ahmuennawk to kang tih.
And I have sent a fire against the wall of Tyre, And it hath consumed 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 said Jehovah: For three transgressions of Edom, And for four, I do not reverse it, Because of his pursuing with a sword his brother, And he hath destroyed his mercies, And tear perpetually doth his anger, And his wrath — he hath kept it for ever,
12 Toe Teman vangpui nuiah hmai ka patoeh han, to hmai mah Bozrah vangpui ih angraeng haih ahmuennawk to kang tih.
And I have sent a fire against Teman, And it hath consumed 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 said Jehovah: For three transgressions of the sons of Ammon, And for four, I do not reverse it, Because of their ripping up the pregnant ones of Gilead, To 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.
And I have kindled a fire against the wall of Rabbah, And it hath consumed her palaces, With a shout in a day of battle, With a whirlwind in a day of hurricane,
15 Nihcae ih siangpahrang hoi angmah ih ukkung angraengnawk loe nawnto tamna ah caeh o boih tih, tiah Angraeng mah thuih.
And gone hath their king in a removal, He and his heads together, said Jehovah!
