Amos 7
1 Ka Boeipa Yahovah loh he he kai n'tueng. Canghnong a moe cuek vaengah yuet a tawn ne. Te dongah manghai lotul phoeikah canghnong ni ne.
These things the Lord God has revealed to me. And behold, the locust was formed at the beginning of the germination during the latter rains, and behold, the latter rains came after the thundering of the king.
2 Khohmuen kah baelhing caak ham a khah coeng. Te dongah, “Ka Boeipa Yahovah aw, khodawkngai mai, Jakob amah he noe oeh tih ulong a thoh eh?,” ka ti.
And it happened, when they had finally eaten all the grass in the land, that I said, “Lord God, be gracious, I beg you. Who will raise up Jacob, for he is little?”
3 BOEIPA loh ko a hlawt dongah BOEIPA loh, “He he om mahpawh,” a ti.
The Lord has been merciful about this. “It will not be,” said the Lord.
4 Ka Boeipa Yahovah loh he he kai m'hmuh sak. Ho hamla ka Boeipa Yahovah loh hmai neh a khue coeng ke. Tuidung puei te a yoop tih khoyo te a hlawp.
These things the Lord God has revealed to me. And behold, the Lord God called for judgment unto fire, and it devoured the manifold abyss, and it consumed simultaneously in every direction.
5 Te vaengah, “Ka Boeipa Yahovah aw, paa mai laeh, Jakob amah he noe oeh tih ulong a thoh eh?,” ka ti.
And I said, “Lord God, cease, I beg you. Who will raise up Jacob, for he is little?”
6 He ham he BOEIPA loh ko a hlawt dongah ka Boeipa Yahovah loh, “Te khaw om mahpawh,” a ti.
The Lord has been merciful about this. “And even this will not be,” said the Lord God.
7 He he kai n'tueng vaengah ka Boeipa tah vongtung soah mikrhael rhui neh pai tih a kut dongah mikrhael rhui om.
These things the Lord revealed to me. And behold, the Lord was standing near a plastered wall, and in his hand was a mason’s trowel.
8 Te phoeiah BOEIPA loh kai taengah, “Amos nang balae na hmuh,” n'ti nah tih, “Mikrhael rhui,” ka ti nah. Te dongah ka Boeipa, “Ka pilnam Israel lakli ah mikrhael rhui ka khueh coeng ne. Anih te pah hamla ka koei voel mahpawh.
And the Lord said to me, “What do you see, Amos?” And I said, “A mason’s trowel.” And the Lord said, “Behold, I will place the trowel in the midst of my people Israel. I will no longer plaster over them.
9 Isaak kah hmuensang te pong vetih Israel kah rhokso khaw khap uh ni. Jeroboam imkhui te cunghang neh ka pai thil ni,” a ti.
And the heights of the idol will be demolished, and the sanctuaries of Israel will be desolate. And I will rise up against the house of Jeroboam with the sword.”
10 Te vaengah Bethel khosoih Amaziah te Israel manghai Jeroboam taengla a tueih tih, “Israel im kah kotak ah Amos loh nang n'taeng thil. A ol boeih ueh ham khaw khohmuen loh a noeng moenih.
And Amaziah, the priest of Bethel, sent to Jeroboam king of Israel, saying: “Amos has rebelled against you in the midst of the house of Israel. The land is not able to withstand all his sermons.
11 Te dongah Amos loh, 'Jeroboam te cunghang dongah duek vetih Israel te a khohmuen dong lamloh a poelyoe rhoe a poelyoe ni, ' a ti,” a ti nah.
For Amos says this: ‘Jeroboam will die by the sword, and Israel will be taken captive out of their own land.’”
12 Te vaengah Amaziah loh Amos te, “Khohmu Nang te Judah khohmuen la cet lamtah yong laeh. Buh pahoi ca lamtah hnap tonghma nawn.
And Amaziah said to Amos, “You, seer, go out and flee into the land of Judah, and eat bread there, and prophesy there.
13 Tedae Bethel te tonghma thil ham koep koei boeh. He he manghai rhokso neh ram kah im ni,” a ti nah.
And in Bethel, do not prophesy any longer, because it is the king’s sanctuary, and it is the house of the kingdom.”
14 Te dongah Amos loh a doo tih Amaziah te, “Kai he tonghma moenih, kai he tonghma capa moenih. Kai he saeldawn ni, thaihae ni ka hloe.
And Amos responded, and he said to Amasias, “I am not a prophet, and I am not the son of a prophet, but I am a herdsman plucking from wild fig trees.
15 Tedae BOEIPA loh kai he boiva hnuk lamloh n'loh. Te vaengah BOEIPA loh kai te, “Cet lamtah ka pilnam Israel taengah tonghma laeh,” a ti.
And the Lord took me, when I was following the flock, and the Lord said to me, ‘Go, prophesy to my people Israel.’”
16 Te dongah, 'Israel taengah tonghma boel lamtah Isaak imkhui te saep boeh,’ na ti akhaw BOEIPA ol mah hnatun dae.
And now, hear the word of the Lord: You say, “You will not prophesy about Israel, and you will not rain your words upon the house of the idol.”
17 Te dongah BOEIPA loh he ni a. thui. Na yuu te khopuei khuiah cukhalh vetih na capa neh na canu te cunghang dongah cungku uh ni. Na khohmuen khaw rhuihet loh a boe ni. Namah khaw diklai ah rhalawt la na duek ni. Israel te a khohmuen dongah lamloh a poelyoe rhoe a poelyoe uh ni,” a ti nah.
Because of that, the Lord says this: “Your wife will fornicate in the city, and your sons and your daughters will fall by the sword, and your soil will be measured with a string. And you will die on polluted land, and Israel will be taken into captivity out of their land.”
