The message of Amos, one of the sheep breeders of Tekoa, which he saw concerning Israel in the reign of King Uzziah of Judah, and in the reign of Jeroboam the son of King Joash of Israel, two years before the earthquake.
2 Aman hitin aseije, “Pakai ogin gimnei tah chu, Zion lhanga kon a hung kitum ding, chuleh Jerusalem khopia kon’a gamtin thong leuva hung ging ding ahi. Chuleh kelngoi ching ho hamhing dum jouse goplha ding, Carmel lhang’a hamhing ho geija goplha-a thigam dingu ahi.”
Amos said: Whenever the Lord roars from Zion, and utters his voice from Jerusalem, the pastures of the shepherds dry up, the top of Carmel becomes arid.
3 Pakaiyin hitin aseiye, “Keiman Damascus khopi talen manlouva ka lha louhel ding ahi. Ajeh chu amiten chonset abol bol jing uvin, anga deh pouvin ahi. Amahon Gilead mun’ah kamite chu thih kangkuiya chang kikui bangin abol’un, ahi.

I will break open the gate of Damascus, I will wipe out those who live in the valley of Aven and the sceptered ruler of Beth-Eden. The people of Aram will go into captivity in Kir, says the Lord.
6 Pakaiyin hitin aseije, “Gaza khopi talen manlouva kalha louhel ding ahi. Ajeh chu amiten chonset abol bol jeng’un, anga deh pouvin ahi. Amahon kho jousea miho abon’un sohchang in atolmang un, Edom gam’a soh in ajohdoh gam tauvin ahi.
The Lord says: For Gaza’s three crimes – no, four! – I will not rescind my judgment. They carried away captive a whole nation, sold them as slaves to Edom.

And I will wipe out those who live in Ashdod, and the sceptered ruler of Askelon. I will turn my hand against Ekron, and the remnant of the Philistines will perish, says the Lord.

The Lord says: For Edom’s three crimes – no, four! – I will not rescind my judgment. They pursued their relatives with the sword, stilled their pity, cherished their anger continually, retained their fury forever.
12 Hijeh’a chu Keiman Teman meiya kahal ding, chuleh Bozrah kulpi jouse jong ka suhmang ding ahi.
So I will send a fire into Teman. It will destroy the palaces of Bozrah.

So I will kindle a fire on the wall of Rabbah. It will destroy her palaces, with a war-cry in the day of battle, with a tempest in the day of the whirlwind.
15 Chutah leh alengpau leh leng chapate jouse abon’uva, migam’a sohchang ding’a kitolmang soh diu ahi,” tin Pakaiyin aseiye.
Their king will go into exile, he and his nobles together, says the Lord.
