Amos 8
1 Khenah, Angraeng Sithaw mah nipui tue ih thingthai kahmin benthang maeto ang hnuksak.
Thus the Lord Yahweh showed me: behold, a basket of summer fruit.
2 Anih mah, Amos, timaw na hnuk, tiah ang naa. Kai mah, nipui tue ih thingthai kahmin benthang maeto ka hnuk, tiah ka naa. To pacoengah Angraeng mah kai khaeah, Kai ih kami Israelnawk boenghaih tue to phak boeh; nihcae tahmen lethaih ka tawn mak ai boeh, tiah ang thuih.
He said, “Amos, what do you see?” I said, “A basket of summer fruit.” Then Yahweh said to me, “The end has come on my people Israel. I will not again pass by them any more.
3 Angraeng Sithaw mah, To na niah loe tempul thung ih laa lok to qahhaih lok ah angcoeng tih: ahmuen kruekah kadueh qok to om ueloe, angqai krang ah va o sut tih, tiah ang naa.
The songs of the temple will be wailing in that day,” says the Lord Yahweh. “The dead bodies will be many. In every place they will throw them out with silence.
4 Prae thung ih mithoe kaminawk to paaeh moe, amtang kaminawk amtimsak kaminawk hae lok hae tahngai oh.
Hear this, you who desire to swallow up the needy, and cause the poor of the land to fail,
5 Natuek naah maw khrah kangtha boeng tih? Kamtong to zawh hanah ka koeh o boeh; natuek naah maw Sabbath boeng tih? Cang zawh han ka koeh o boeh, tiah na thuih o; ephah kazit to anghoep toep ah na sak o, shekel kalen to kathoeng kae ah na sak o pacoengah, katoeng ai coih tahhaih to na patoh o:
saying, ‘When will the new moon be gone, that we may sell grain? And the Sabbath, that we may market wheat, making the ephah small, and the shekel large, and dealing falsely with balances of deceit;
6 amtang kaminawk to sum kanglung hoiah na qan o moe, mithoe kaminawk to khokpanai maeto hoiah na qan o, kahoih ai cangnawk doeh na zawh o.
that we may buy the poor for silver, and the needy for a pair of sandals, and sell the sweepings with the wheat?’”
7 Jakob amoek haih pongah nihcae toksakhaihnawk to natuek naah doeh ka pahnet mak ai, tiah Angraeng mah lokkamhaih to sak.
Yahweh has sworn by the pride of Jacob, “Surely I will never forget any of their works.
8 Hae pongah prae anghuenh ueloe, a thungah kaom kaminawk to palungsae o boih mak ai maw? Prae boih tuipui baktiah angthawk tih, Izip prae ih tuipui baktiah, tui mah pazawk ueloe, uem boih tih.
Won’t the land tremble for this, and everyone mourn who dwells in it? Yes, it will rise up wholly like the River; and it will be stirred up and sink again, like the River of Egypt.
9 To na niah loe, Athun ah ni ka duemsak moe, khodai ah long to kho ka vingsak han:
It will happen in that day,” says the Lord Yahweh, “that I will cause the sun to go down at noon, and I will darken the earth in the clear day.
10 na sak o ih poihnawk to palungsethaih ah kang coengsak moe, na sak o ih laanawk doeh qahhaih ah kang coengsak boih han; kaeng ah buri kahni kang zaeng o sak boih moe, lu sam kang aah o sak boih han; to atue loe capa maeto khue katawn kami palungsethaih baktiah kang oh o sak han, boenghaih loe kakhaa ni baktiah om tih, tiah Angraeng Sithaw mah thuih.
I will turn your feasts into mourning, and all your songs into lamentation; and I will make you wear sackcloth on all your bodies, and baldness on every head. I will make it like the mourning for an only son, and its end like a bitter day.
11 Angraeng Sithaw mah, Khenah, ani loe angzoh boeh, prae thungah takang thohhaih ka patoeh han, buh takang thohhaih ih na ai, tui takang thohhaih doeh na ai ah, Angraeng lok takang thohhaih to ka phaksak han.
Behold, the days come,” says the Lord Yahweh, “that I will send a famine in the land, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing Yahweh’s words.
12 Kaminawk mah tuipui maeto hoi maeto bangah caeh o ueloe, aluek bang hoi ni angyae bang khoek to avak o tih; nihcae mah Angraeng ih lok pakrong hanah, ahnuk ahmaa cawn o tih; toe hnu o mak ai.
They will wander from sea to sea, and from the north even to the east; they will run back and forth to seek Yahweh’s word, and will not find it.
13 To na niah kranghoih kacuem tanglanawk hoi thacak thendoengnawk loe tui anghaeh loiah thazok o sut tih.
In that day the beautiful virgins and the young men will faint for thirst.
14 Samaria mah sak ih zaehaih hoiah lokkamhaih sah kaminawk hoi Aw Dan, na sithaw loe hing! Beersheba ih loklam loe hing! tiah thui kaminawk loe amtim o tih, natuek naah doeh angthawk o let mak ai boeh.
Those who swear by the sin of Samaria, and say, ‘As your god, Dan, lives,’ and, ‘As the way of Beersheba lives,’ they will fall, and never rise up again.”
