Amos 2
1 BOEIPA loh he ni a thui. Moab kah boekoeknah pathum neh pali dongah anih te ka rhael mahpawh. Anih loh Edom manghai rhuh te lungbok la a tih dongah.
This is what Yahweh says: “For three sins of Moab, even for four, I will not turn away punishment, because he burned the bones of the king of Edom to lime.
2 Te dongah Moab soah hmai ka tueih vetih Kerioth impuei te a hlawp ni. Te vaengah Moab kah longlonah khuiah tamlung neh, tuki ol neh duek ni.
I will send fire on Moab, and it will devour the fortresses of Kerioth. Moab will die in an uproar, with shouting and the sound of the trumpet.
3 Te dongah, “A khui lamkah lai aka tloek te ka saii vetih a mangpa boeih te amah neh ka ngawn ni,” tila BOEIPA loh a thui.
I will destroy the judge in her, and I will kill all the princes with him,” says Yahweh.
4 BOEIPA loh he he ni a thui. Judah kah boekoeknah pathum neh pali dongah anih te ka rhael mahpawh. BOEIPA kah olkhueng te a hnawt tih a oltlueh te a tuem uh moenih. Amih te a napa rhoek kah a hnukah caeh hamla a laithae dongah kho a hmang uh.
This is what Yahweh says: “For three sins of Judah, even for four, I will not turn away punishment, because they rejected the law of Yahweh and did not keep his statutes. Their lies caused them to go astray, after which their fathers had also walked.
5 Te dongah Judah soah hmai ka tueih vetih Jerusalem kah impuei a hlawp ni.
I will send fire on Judah, and it will devour the fortresses of Jerusalem.”
6 BOEIPA loh he ni a thui. Israel kah boekoeknah pathum neh pali dongah anih te ka rhael mahpawh. Amih loh dueng te tangka la, khodaeng te khokhom la a yoih.
This is what Yahweh says: “For three sins of Israel, even for four, I will not turn away punishment, because they sold the innocent for silver and the needy for a pair of sandals.
7 tattloel kah lu te diklai laipi dongah a thithut uh tih kodo kah longpuei te a mak uh. Tongpa neh a napa loh hula pakhat taengla a caeh thil dongah ka cimcaihnah ming he a poeih.
They trample on the heads of the poor as people trample on dust on the ground; they push the oppressed away. A man and his father sleep with the same girl and so profane my holy name.
8 Hmueihtuk boeih taengah laikoi himbai neh rhoel uh tih a Pathen im kah lai sah yu te a ok uh.
They lie down beside every altar on clothes taken as pledges, and in the house of their God they drink the wine of those who were fined.
9 Kai loh Amori te amih mikhmuh ah ka mitmoeng sak coeng. A sang te lamphai bangla sang tih thingnu bangla tlung sitoe cakhaw a soi kah a thaih neh a hmui kah a yung te ka mit sak.
Yet I destroyed the Amorite before them, whose height was like the height of cedars; he was strong as the oaks. Yet I destroyed his fruit above and his roots below.
10 Kai loh nangmih te Egypt khohmuen lamloh kang khuen tih Amori khohmuen pang sak hamla nangmih te khosoek ah kum sawmli kan pongpa puei.
Also, I brought you up out of the land of Egypt and led you forty years in the wilderness to possess the land of the Amorites.
11 Na ca rhoek lamloh tonghma la, na tongpang rhoek lamkah hlangcoelh la ka pai sak. Te khaw Israel ca kah moenih a? He tah BOEIPA kah olphong coeng ni.
I raised up prophets from among your sons and Nazirites from your young men. Is it not so, people of Israel? —this is Yahweh's declaration.
12 Tedae hlangcoelh rhoek te misurtui na tul uh. Tonghma rhoek te khaw na uen uh tih, “Tonghma boeh ne,” na ti nauh.
But you persuaded the Nazirites to drink wine and commanded the prophets not to prophesy.
13 Cangpa a bae te leng loh a rhuelh bangla kai loh nangmih te kang rhuelh coeng ne.
Look, I will crush you as a cart that is full of grain can crush someone.
14 Kapyang lamloh thuhaelnah khaw bing vetih tlungluen kah a thadueng khaw caang mahpawh. Hlangrhalh long khaw a hinglu loeih sak mahpawh.
The swift will find no escape; the strong will not add to his own strength; neither will the mighty save himself.
15 Lii aka muk khaw pai ngoeng pawt vetih a kap aka yanghoep khaw loeih mahpawh. Marhang dongkah aka ngol long khaw a hinglu loeih mahpawh.
The archer will not stand; the fast runner will not escape; the horseman will not save himself.
16 Hlangrhalh lakli kah a lungbuei aka rhapsat pataeng te khohnin ah tah pumtling la rhaelrham ni. He tah BOEIPA kah olphong ni.
Even the bravest warriors will flee naked in that day —this is Yahweh's declaration.”
