< Amos 2 >
1 Pakaiyin hitin aseiye. “Moab mite talen man louva ka lha louhel ding ahi. Ajeh chun amahon chonset abol bol jeng un, anga dehpouvin ahi. Amahon Edom lengpa gu leh chang jouse meiyin ahal un, vutvam aso sah tauvin ahi.
Thus hath said the Lord, For three transgressions of Moab, and for four, will I not turn away their punishment; because he burnt the bones of the king of Edom into lime;
2 Hijeh’a chu keiman Moab gamsung meiya kahal lhah ding, chuleh Kerioth khopi kulpi ho ka suhmang ding ahi. Chuleh Moab mite chu gal’a ka leh mao na thum jeju lah’a, agalmi hon saki amut denuva thigam ding ahiuve”, ati.
And I will send a fire against Moab, which shall devour the palaces of Keriyoth: and Moab shall die in the tumult, in the shouting, amidst the sound of the cornet;
3 Chuteng keiman alengpau ka suhmang ding, chuleh leng chapa teu jouse jong ka suhgam ding ahi,” tin Pakaiyin aseiye.
And I will cut off the judges from her midst, and all her princes will I slay, with him, saith the Lord.
4 Pakaiyin hitin aseiye, “Keiman Judah talen manlouva ka lha louhel ding ahi. Ajeh chu amahon chonset abol bol jengun anga deh pouvin ahi. Amahon Pakai peh chondan thuhil don louvin akoijun, chuleh athupeh jong anitdeh pouvin ahi. Apu apateu vamang na jou leh nal’a kilheplhahna ah avahmang gam tauvin ahi.
Thus hath said the Lord, For three transgressions of Judah, and for four, will I not turn away their punishment; because they have despised the law of the Lord, and did not keep his statutes, and their lying idols caused them to err, after which their fathers had walked;
5 Hijeh’a chu keiman meiya Judah kahallhah ding, chuleh Jerusalem khopi kulpi ho jong kasuhmang ding ahi,” ati.
And I will send out a fire against Judah, which shall devour the palaces of Jerusalem.
6 Pakaiyin hitin aseiye, “Keiman Israel talen man louva kalha louhel ding ahi. Ajeh chu, amahon chonset abol bol jeng un angadeh pouvin ahi. Amahon midih jong dangka lhomcha man in ajoh doh’un, chuleh tahlel vaichate jong kengchot to-khat toh aki lheh tauve.
Thus hath said the Lord, For three transgressions of Israel, and for four, will I not turn away their punishment; because they sold for silver the righteous, and the needy for a pair of shoes;
7 Amahon tahlel gentheite leivui lah’a achonlut nun, chuleh vaichate jong lampam’a asondoh un ahi. Apa leh achapa jong numei khat kom’a aga lumkhom ji lhon in, keima mintheng chu asuboh tauvin ahi.
That are eager after the dust of the earth on the head of the poor, and turn aside the way of the meek: and a man and his father will go in unto the same young woman, in order to profane my holy name.
8 Pathen houna maicham phung dung’a chun, aleiba teuvin, bat sahdoh kah’a ding’a apeh’u, ponsil ho akisil’un akijam leuve. Chuleh a Pathen’u houin sunga jong, thudihlou tah’a mi agap nau Lengpitwi adon uvin ahi.
And upon pledged garments they stretch themselves out by every altar, and the wine of the condemned do they drink in the house of their gods.
9 Amavang, kamite masang tah’a, Cedar thing banga sang leh Oak thing banga tah, Amor mite ana suhmang peh chu keima kahi. Keiman thingbah lah’a aga jouse jong ka sugam in, chuleh noi lam’a ajung geijin ka kaldoh in ahi.
Yet have I destroyed the Emorite from before them, whose height was like the height of cedars, and who was strong as the oaks; but I destroyed his fruit from above, and his roots from beneath.
10 Egypt gam’a kon’a nahin pui doh uva chu keima kahi, chuleh kum somli jen nelphai gamthip’a nahinpuileu chu keima kahi. Hijeh’a chu nanghon Amor mite gamsung naloden theiju ahi.
And it was I who have brought you up from the land of Egypt, and led you forty years through the wilderness, to take possession of the land of the Emorite.
11 Keiman na chapa teu phabep themgaovin ka pansah in, chuleh adangho jong Nazir ka hisah e. Vo Israel kamite, nangman hichehi ahipoi tia na seithei ding ham?” tin Pakaiyin aseiye.
And I have raised up of your sons for prophets, and of your young men for nazarites: is it not even thus, O ye children of Israel? saith the Lord.
12 Ahivang in, nangman Nazir ho jong, ju na donsah in chonset na bolsah e. Chuleh themgao ho jong gao thu seilou ding’in naphoh thiptai.
But ye have given the nazarites wine to drink; and concerning the prophets have ye commanded, saying, Ye shall not prophesy.
13 Hijeh’a chu, keiman thohgim tah’a kalha ding, bongkang changpal dimset kiheng’a uh jen jun bang’a kalha ding, kasuh nem ding nahi.
Behold, I press down [the ground] under you, as the wagon presseth [it] down that is full of sheaves.
14 Nalah uva akal jang pen jong jammang deh lou ding, chuleh atha hat pen jong pang jou dehlou ding ahi. Thahattah’a galsat hon jong, ahinkho akihuh doh joulou diu ahi.
And refuge shall vanish from the swift, and the strong shall not make use of his force, neither shall the mighty man escape with his life.
15 Thalpi kap’a pangho jong ding det joulou diu, chuleh Sakol chung touthem ho jong, amaho leh amaho kihuhdoh jou lou diu ahi.
And he that handleth the bow shall not be able to stand; and he that is swift of foot shall not escape: neither shall he that rideth the horse escape with his life.
16 Hiche nikho chuleh gal hang pen’a panghon jong, agal manchah’u ase lhah diu chuleh ahindoh nadiuva jamdiu ahi”, tin Pakaiyin aseiye.
And he that is most courageous hearted among the mighty shall flee away naked on that day, saith the Lord.
