Amos 9

1 Ka Boeipa te hmueihtuk taengah a pai te ka hmuh. Te vaengah, “Rhaimuem tloek lamtah cingkhaa khaw tuen saeh lamtah te a cungkuem kah lu dongah tim saeh. Amih te hmailong ah cunghang neh ka ngawn ni. Amih te rhaelrham khaw rhaelrham ngoeng pawt vetih a hlangyong tepoenghal mahpawh.

I saw the Lord standing upon the altar, and he said: Strike the hinges, and let the lintels be shook: for there is covetousness in the head of them all, and I will slay the last of them with the sword: there shall be no flight for them: they shall flee, and he that shall flee of them shall not be delivered.

2 Saelkhui duela ael uh cakhaw amih te ka kut loh te lamkah a loh ni. Vaan la luei uh cakhaw te lamloh amih te ka suntlak sak ni. (Sheol h7585)

Though they go down even to hell, thence shall my hand bring them out: and though they climb up to heaven, thence will I bring them down. (Sheol h7585)

3 Karmel lu ah thuh uh cakhaw te lamloh ka phuelhthaih vetih amih te ka loh ni. Ka mikhmuh dong lamloh tuitunli kah cirhong ah thuh uh cakhaw te lamloh rhul te ka uen vetih amih te a tuk ni.

And though they be hid in the top of Carmel, I will search and take them away from thence: and though they hide themselves from my eyes in the depth of the sea, there will I command the serpent and he shall bite them.

4 A thunkha rhoek mikhmuh ah tamna la cet uh cakhaw te lamloh cunghang te ka uen vetih amih te a ngawn ni. Amih soah a then ham pawt tih thae hamla ka mik ka khueh ni.

And if they go into captivity before their enemies, there will I command the sword, and it shall kill them. And I will set my eyes upon them for evil, and not for good.

5 Ka Boeipa caempuei Yahovah loh diklai he a ben tih paci coeng. Te dongah a khuikah khosa boeih te nguekcoi uh. A pum la sokko bangla phul tih Egypt sokko bangla rhaeng.

And the Lord the God of hosts is he who toucheth the earth, and it shall melt: and all that dwell therein shall mourn: and it shall rise up as a river, and shall run down as the river of Egypt.

6 Vaan ah a tangtlaeng, a tangtlaeng la aka sa, diklai ah a khoengim aka suen, tuitunli kah tui te a khue tih diklai hman ah aka hawk kah kah a ming tah Yahweh ni.

He that buildeth his ascension in heaven, and hath founded his bundle upon the earth: who calleth the waters of the sea, and poureth them out upon the face of the earth, the Lord is his name.

7 Nangmih Israel ca rhoek he kai hamla Kushi ca rhoek banghui moenih a? He tah BOEIPA kah olphong ni. Israel te Egypt kho neh Philisti lamloh, Kaptor neh Aram lamloh, Kir lamloh ka khuen moenih a?

Are not you as the children of the Ethiopians unto me, O children of Israel, saith the Lord? did not I bring up Israel, out of the land of Egypt: and the Philistines out of Cappadocia, and the Syrians out of Cyrene?

8 Ka Boeipa Yahovah kah mik tah hlangtholh kah ram soah a khueh coeng ke. Te ram te diklai maelhmai dong lamloh ka milh sak ni. Te cakhaw Jakob imkhui te ka mit rhoe ka mit sak mahpawh. He tah BOEIPA kah olphong ni.

Behold the eyes of the Lord God are upon the sinful kingdom, and I will destroy it from the face of the earth: but yet I will not utterly destroy the house of Jacob, saith the Lord.

9 Ka uen coeng lah ko ne. Te dongah Israel imkhui te namtom boeih lakli ah vairhuek dongkah a hinghuen bangla ka hinghuen ni. Tedae diklai la khonuen cuhu mahpawh.

For behold I will command, and I will sift the house of Israel among all nations, as corn is sifted in a sieve: and there shall not a little stone fall to the ground.

10 Yoethae he mamih taengla mop pawt vetih n'hum uh mahpawh,” aka ti ka pilnam hlangtholh boeih te cunghang dongah duek uh ni.

All the sinners of my people shall fall by the sword: who say: The evils shall not approach, and shall not come upon us.

11 Te khohnin ah tah David kah dungtlungim aka cungku te ka thoh vetih a puut te ka biing ni. A rhawpnah khaw ka thoh vetih khosuen tue kah bangla te te ka sak ni.

In that day I will raise up the tabernacle of David, that is fallen: and I will close up the breaches of the walls thereof, and repair what was fallen: and I will rebuild it as in the days of old.

12 Te daengah ni Edom kah a meet neh amih taengah ka ming aka khue namtom boeih te a pang uh eh. He tah BOEIPA kah olphong bangla a saii coeng.

That they may possess the remnant of Edom, and all nations, because my name is invoked upon them: saith the Lord that doth these things.

13 BOEIPA kah olphong hnin ha pai coeng he. Aka thoe te aka at loh, misur aka cawt khaw a tii aka kuel loh a poeng ni. Tlang te thingtui la pha vetih som khaw boeih paci ni.

Behold the days come, saith the Lord, when the ploughman shall overtake the reaper, and the treader of grapes him that soweth seed: and the mountains shall drop sweetness, and every hill shall be tilled.

14 Ka pilnam thongtla Israel te ka mael puei ni. Te vaengah khopuei aka pong te a sak uh vetih kho a sak uh ni. Misurdum te a tawn uh vetih a misurtui te a ok uh ni. Dum a saii uh vetih a thaih te a caak uh ni.

And I will bring back the captivity of my people Israel: and they shall build the abandoned cities, and inhabit them: and they shall plant vineyards, and drink the wine of them: and shall make gardens, and eat the fruits of them.

15 Te vaengah amih te amah khohmuen ah ka phung vetih a khohmuen dong lamloh koep phu mahpawh. Na Pathen BOEIPA loh amih taengah, 'Ka paek coeng,’ a ti,” tila a thui.

And I will plant them upon their own land: and I will no more pluck them out of their land which I have given them, saith the Lord thy God.
