< Amos 6 >
1 Anunae Zion dongah mongkawt tih Samaria tlang ah aka pangtung rhoek aih. Namtom kah a tanglue a phoei dongah amih taengla Israel imkhui te kun uh van.
Woe to them that are at ease in Zion, and to them that are secure in the mountain of Samaria, the notable men of the first of the nations, to whom the house of Israel come!
2 Kalneh la cet uh lamtah hmu lah. Te lamloh Khamath Rabbah la cet uh lamtah Philisti kah Gath la suntla uh. Te kah ram tah then ngai tih a khorhi te na khorhi lakah len a?
Pass ye unto Calneh, and see, and from thence go ye to Hamath the great; then go down to Gath of the Philistines; are they better than these kingdoms? or is their border greater than your border?
3 Yoethae khohnin ham rhoe tih kuthlahnah hmuen la mop uh.
Ye that put far away the evil day, and cause the seat of violence to come near;
4 Vueino thingkong dongah yalh uh tih a soengca dongah cawklawih uh. Boiva khui lamkah tuca neh sael-im khui lamkah saelca aka ca rhoek.
That lie upon beds of ivory, and stretch themselves upon their couches, and eat the lambs out of the flock, and the calves out of the midst of the stall;
5 David bangla thangpa ol te a oei uh tih lumlaa tumbael te amamih ham a moeh uh.
That thrum on the psaltery, that devise for themselves instruments of music, like David;
6 Misurtui te baelcak dongah a ok uh tih situi tanglue neh koelh uh dae Joseph kah pocinah dongah a kothae uh pawh.
That drink wine in bowls, and anoint themselves with the chief ointments; but they are not grieved for the hurt of Joseph.
7 Te dongah boeilu a poelyoe bangla a poelyoe uh pawn vetih cawklawih rhoek kah rhok nong ni.
Therefore now shall they go captive at the head of them that go captive, and the revelry of them that stretched themselves shall pass away.
8 Ka Boeipa Yahovah loh a hinglu neh a toemngam coeng. He tah caempuei Pathen BOEIPA kah olphong ni. Jakob kah hoemdamnah te ka lok lo tih a impuei khaw ka hmuhuet. Te dongah khopuei neh a cungkuem te ka khaih ni.
The Lord GOD hath sworn by Himself, saith the LORD, the God of hosts: I abhor the pride of Jacob, and hate his palaces; and I will deliver up the city with all that is therein.
9 Tedae ana om saeh, im pakhat ah hlang parha sueng mai cakhaw duek uh ni.
And it shall come to pass, if there remain ten men in one house, that they shall die.
10 Anih te a panoe neh a rhok aka soem loh a khuen tih im lamloh a rhuh a khuen vaengah khaw im thael kah taengah, “Nang taengah om pueng a?” a ti nah ni. Te vaengah, “Lunglilungla la,” a ti vetih, “Saah lah, BOEIPA ming te poek ham moenih,” a ti ni.
And when a man's uncle shall take him up, even he that burneth him, to bring out the bones out of the house, and shall say unto him that is in the innermost parts of the house: 'Is there yet any with thee?' and he shall say: 'No'; then shall he say: 'Hold thy peace; for we must not make mention of the name of the LORD.'
11 BOEIPA loh a uen dongah im len te a pil la, im yit te a nuei la a boh pawn ni ke.
For, behold, the LORD commandeth, and the great house shall be smitten into splinters, and the little house into chips.
12 Thaelpang dongah marhang yong vetih saelhung nen khaw a thoe rhet aya? Te dongah tiktamnah te sue la, duengnah thaihtae te pantong la na poeh sakuh.
Do horses run upon the rocks? Doth one plow there with oxen? that ye have turned justice into gall, and the fruit of righteousness into wormwood;
13 “Mah thaa neh mah hamla a ki n'loh moenih a?,” aka ti rhoek te Lodebar ah a kohoe uh.
Ye that rejoice in a thing of nought, that say: 'Have we not taken to us horns by our own strength?'
14 He tah caempuei Pathen BOEIPA kah olphong ni. Israel imkhui nang taengah namtom ka thoh coeng ne. Te dongah nangmih te Khamath a pawk nah lamloh Arabah soklong duela n'nen uh ni.
For, behold, I will raise up against you a nation, O house of Israel, saith the LORD, the God of hosts; and they shall afflict you from the entrance of Hamath unto the Brook of the Arabah.
