Amos 3
1 Israel ca nangmih taeng neh Egypt khohmuen lamloh kang khuen van bangla, koca boeih taengah BOEIPA loh he ol a thui he hnatun uh.
Give ear to this word which the Lord has said against you, O children of Israel, against all the family which I took up out of the land of Egypt, saying,
2 Diklai koca boeih lamloh nang bueng te kan ming. Te dongah namah kathaesainah boeih te namah taengah kan cawh ni.
You only of all the families of the earth have I taken care of: for this reason I will send punishment on you for all your sins.
3 A tuentah pawt atah rhenten cet rhoi noek a?
Is it possible for two to go walking together, if not by agreement?
4 Duup kah sathueng a kawk vaengah amah ham maeh om het mahpawt nim? A khuisaek kah te a tuuk pawt atah sathueng loh a ol a huel bal nim?
Will a lion give his loud cry in the woodland when no food is there? will the voice of the young lion be sounding from his hole if he has taken nothing?
5 Anih hamla hlaeh a om pawt lalah vaa ke diklai kah pael dongah tla aya? Diklai lamkah pael loh a boh phoeiah tah a tuuk rhoe a tuuk moenih a?
Is it possible for a bird to be taken in a net on the earth where no net has been put for him? will the net come up from the earth if it has taken nothing at all?
6 Khopuei ah tuki a ueng lalah pataeng pilnam he lakueng het mahpawt nim? Khopuei khuiah yoethae a pai lalah pataeng BOEIPA loh saii het mahpawt nim?” a ti.
If the horn is sounded in the town will the people not be full of fear? will evil come on a town if the Lord has not done it?
7 A baecenol te a sal tonghma rhoek taengah a phoe mueh la ka Boeipa Yahovah loh hno a saii noek moenih.
Certainly the Lord will do nothing without making clear his secret to his servants, the prophets.
8 Sathueng a kawk lalah ulong a rhih pawt eh? Ka Boeipa Yahovah loh a thui lalah unim aka tonghma pawt pai eh?
The cry of the lion is sounding; who will not have fear? The Lord God has said the word; is it possible for the prophet to keep quiet?
9 Ashdod kah impuei taeng neh Egypt khohmuen kah impuei taengah yaak sak. Te vaengah, “Samaria tlang ah tingtun uh,” ti nah. So uh lah, a khui kah soekloeknah neh a laklung kah hnaemtaeknah tah yet coeng.
Give out the news in the great houses of Assyria and in the land of Egypt, and say, Come together on the mountains of Samaria, and see what great outcries are there, and what cruel acts are done in it.
10 BOEIPA kah olphong, oldueng vai ham khaw ming uh pawh. A impuei ah kuthlahnah neh rhoelrhanah a kael uh.
For they have no knowledge of how to do what is right, says the Lord, who are storing up violent acts and destruction in their great houses.
11 Te dongah ka Boeipa Yahovah loh he ni a. thui. Rhal neh khohmuen kaepvai long khaw nang te n'suntlak thil vetih na sarhi neh na impuei te a poelyoe ni.
For this reason, says the Lord, an attacker will come, shutting in the land on every side; and your strength will come down and your great houses will be made waste.
12 BOEIPA loh he ni a. thui. Boiva aka dawn long tah sathueng ka dongkah te a kho rhoi mai khaw, a hna vang mai khaw, a huul pah bangla Samaria kah baiphaih kil neh Damasku soengca ah aka ngol Israel ca rhoek te a huul uh van ni.
These are the words of the Lord: As the keeper of sheep takes out of the mouth of the lion two legs or part of an ear; so will the children of Israel be made safe, who are resting in Samaria on seats of honour or on the silk cushions of a bed.
13 Hnatun uh lamtah Jakob imkhui te rhalrhing sakuh. He tah ka Boeipa Yahovah, caempuei Pathen kah olphong ni.
Give ear now, and give witness against the family of Jacob, says the Lord God, the God of armies;
14 A soah Israel kah boekoeknah ka cawh hnin ah ngawn tah Bethel hmueihtuk te ka cawh bal ni. Te vaengah hmueihtuk ki khaw tlawt vetih diklai la yalh ni.
For in the day when I give Israel punishment for his sins, I will send punishment on the altars of Beth-el, and the horns of the altar will be cut off and come down to the earth.
15 Te phoeiah sikca im khaw khohal im neh ka top ni. Te vaengah vueino im rhoek te poo uh vetih im len rhoek khaw khoengvoep uh ni. He tah BOEIPA kah olphong coeng ni.
And I will send destruction on the winter house with the summer house; the ivory houses will be falling down and the great houses will come to an end, says the Lord.
