< Amos 1 >
1 Juda gam’a, Teko’ah kho’a cheng kelngoi ching hat, Amos kitipa heng’a, hiche thuhi ana lhung e. Judah gam’a Uzziah lengvaipoh lai chuleh Israel gam’a Jehoash chapa Jeroboam lengvaipoh laiya, ling kiho masang kum nina-a chu, hiche thuhi Amos in themgao thilmua anamu ahi.
The words of Amos, who was among the herdmen of Tekoa, which he saw concerning Israel in the days of Uzziah king of Judah, and in the days of Jeroboam the son of Joash king 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.”
And he said, The LORD will roar from Zion, and utter his voice from Jerusalem; and the habitations of the shepherds shall mourn, and the top of Carmel shall wither.
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.
Thus saith the LORD; For three transgressions of Damascus, and for four, I will not turn away its punishment; because they have threshed Gilead with threshing instruments of iron:
4 Hijeh’a chu Keiman Hazael lengpa inpi meiya kahal lhah ding, chuleh Ben-hadad lengpa kulpi jong kasuhmang ding ahi.
But I will send a fire into the house of Hazael, which shall devour the palaces of Benhadad.
5 Keiman Damascus khopi kotpi ka tumboh ding, chuleh Aven phaicham a cheng miho katha gam ding ahi.
I will break also the bar of Damascus, and cut off the inhabitant from the plain of Aven, and him that holdeth the sceptre from the house of Eden: and the people of Syria shall go into captivity to Kir, saith 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.
Thus saith the LORD; For three transgressions of Gaza, and for four, I will not turn away its punishment; because they carried away captive the whole captivity, to deliver them up to Edom:
7 Hijeh’a chu Keiman Gaza khopi bang ho meiya kahal lhah ding, chuleh akulpi jouse jong kasuhmang ding ahi.
But I will send a fire on the wall of Gaza, which shall devour its palaces:
8 Keiman Ashdod mite ka suhgam ding, chuleh Ashkelon lengpa jong ka suhmang ding ahi. Chuteng Ekron douna-a keiman ka khut kalha ding, Chuleh Philistine mi ahing doh amoh chengse jong thigam diu ahi,” tin Hatchung nung Pakaiyin aseiye.
And I will cut off the inhabitant from Ashdod, and him that holdeth the sceptre from Ashkelon, and I will turn my hand against Ekron: and the remnant of the Philistines shall perish, saith the Lord GOD.
9 Pakaiyin hitin aseiye, “Tyre khopi talen manlouva kalha louhel ding ahi. Ajeh chu amiten chonset abol bol jengun, anga deh pouve. Amahon Israel toh sopi unao hina akitepnau asukeh’un, khojousea miho abon’un Edom gam’a soh chang in ajoh doh gam tauvin ahi.
Thus saith the LORD; For three transgressions of Tyre, and for four, I will not turn away its punishment; because they delivered up the whole captivity to Edom, and remembered not the brotherly covenant:
10 Hijeh’a chu, Keiman Tyre khopi bang ho meiya ka hallhah ding, chuleh akulpi jouse jong ka suhmang ding ahi,” ati.
But I will send a fire on the wall of Tyre, which shall devour its palaces.
11 Pakaiyin hitin aseiye, “Edom mite talen man louva kalha louhel ding ahi. Ajeh chu amahon chonset abol bol jeng uvin, anga deh pouvin ahi. Amahon asopite, Israelte, chung’a chemjam apan’un adel jeng’un, dipdamna beijin aboltauve. Amahon, alungdam theilou jeh’un, asopite chu asat jing’un, chuleh nasatah in lunghang den in aum tauvin ahi.
Thus saith the LORD; For three transgressions of Edom, and for four, I will not turn away its punishment; because he pursued his brother with the sword, and cast off all pity, and his anger did tear perpetually, and he kept his wrath for ever:
12 Hijeh’a chu Keiman Teman meiya kahal ding, chuleh Bozrah kulpi jouse jong ka suhmang ding ahi.
But I will send a fire upon Teman, which shall devour the palaces of Bozrah.
13 Pakaiyin hitin aseiye, “Ammon mite talen man louva kalha louhel ding ahi. Ajeh chu amahon chonset abol bol jeng uvin, anga dehpouvin ahi. Amahon gamgi kehbe na ding in, Gilead chu gal asat khum’un, numei gailai ho chemjam in agai acheuvin ahi.
Thus saith the LORD; For three transgressions of the children of Ammon, and for four, I will not turn away their punishment; because they have ripped up the women with child of Gilead, that they might enlarge their border:
14 Hijeh’a chu keiman Rabbah khopi bangho meiya kahallhah ding, chuleh akulpi jouse jong kasuhmang ding ahi. Hiche gal chu, chimpei nasatah kipei bang ding, chuleh huise gimnei tah gin bang’a, mi peng in husa kithong ding ahi.
But I will kindle a fire in the wall of Rabbah, and it shall devour its palaces, with shouting 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.
And their king shall go into captivity, he and his princes together, saith the LORD.
