Amos 3

1 Pakaiyin nangho douna thu asei hi ngai jun, Vo Israel leh Judah mite, keiman Egypt gam’a kon’a kahin puidoh na insung pumpi douna-a kisei ahi.

Heare this worde that the Lord pronounceth against you, O children of Israel, euen against the whole familie which I brought vp from the land of Egypt, saying,

2 “Leiset chung mihem insung jouse lah’a, keiman nangho bou kahet nahiuve. Hijeh’a chu na themmo nau jouse chung’a, tei tu ding nahiuve”

You onely haue I knowen of all the families of the earth: therefore I will visite you for all your iniquities.

3 Ajotna ding mun kihoutoh masa louva, mini lampi khat’a kijot khom thei mong hinam?

Can two walke together except they bee agreed?

4 Neh ding kimat masah louva, gammang noija sakei bahkai hutum ngai am? Chuleh aneh ding ima kimat louva, sakei bahkai nou jong peng mong hinam?

Will a lion roare in ye forest, when he hath no pray? or wil a lions whelpe cry out of his den, if he haue taken nothing?

5 Anchah beija kikam thang’a, vacha oh thei mong ding ham? Achonpil umlouva tol’a thang kikam chu kipil thei ding ham?

Can a birde fall in a snare vpon the earth, where no fouler is? or will he take vp the snare from the earth, and haue taken nothing at all?

6 Gal ginna pengkul kimut teng, khopi mite tija louva umthei ding ham? Pakaiyin abol louva ahileh khopi chung’a thilse moh lhun thei ding ham?

Or shall a trumpet be blowen in the citie, and the people be not afraide? or shall there be euil in a citie, and the Lord hath not done it?

7 Dihtah mong in, Hatchungnung Pakaiyin, alhacha themgao ho henga phongdoh masa louvin, imacha aguh in abol hih hel e.

Surely the Lord God will doe nothing, but he reueileth his secrete vnto his seruantes the Prophets.

8 Sakei bahkai akitumtai, hijeh chun, koiham akicha lou ding? Hatchungnung Pakaiyin thu asei tai, hijeh chun, koiham Pakai thuseiphong jal lou ding?

The lyon hath roared: who will not bee afraide? the Lord God hath spoken: who can but prophecie?

9 Hiche thuhi, Ashdod mipite leh lamkaite heng’a phongjal un, chuleh Egypt gamsung a milen milal ho heng’a sei phong leuvin. Tun, nangho Samaria leh akimvel’a molchung dung a hung kikhom uvin lang, Israel mite kibol gentheina leh acheh chao nau hi hungve uvin” ati.

Proclayme in the palaces at Ashdod, and in the palaces in the lande of Egypt, and saye, Assemble your selues vpon the mountaines of Samaria: so beholde the great tumultes in the middes thereof, and the oppressed in the middes thereof.

10 Pakaiyin aseiye, “Kamiten thudihtah’a thil bolje ahaimiltauve. Akulpi hou jong, pumhat leh guchat’a kichom khom nei leh gou dimset in akholkhom tauvin ahi.

For they knowe not to doe right, sayth the Lord: they store vp violence, and robbery in their palaces.

11 Hijeh chun Hatchungnung Pakaiyin aseiye, “Melma na kidoupi khat ahung kon’e. Aman gamsung pumpi aumchah kheh ding, kivenna pal ho jong aloichim ding, chuleh akulpiu jouse jong asuh chim ding ahi.”

Therefore thus saith the Lord God, An aduersary shall come euen rounde about the countrey, and shall bring downe thy strength from thee, and thy palaces shalbe spoyled.

12 Pakaiyin hitin aseiye, “Kelngoi chingpan sakei bahkai kam sunga kon’a kalngoi huhdoh agot’a, akeng teni leh abilkol khatseh bou achulhah ham ham ji bang a, Samaria khopi a nomsa tah’a cheng Israel chate leh Damascus khomite chu, alupnau jalkhun ningchong kah’a abong abaiya kiloidoh ding ahiuve.

Thus saieth the Lord, As the shephearde taketh out of the mouth of the lyon two legges, or a piece of an eare: so shall the children of Israel be taken out that dwell in Samaria in the corner of a bed, and in Damascus, as in a couche.

13 “Ngai uvin, chuleh Israel dounan gamsung pumpia thu gasei jun,” tin, Pakai, van Pathen chun aseiye.

Heare, and testifie in the house of Iaakob, saith the Lord God, the God of hostes.

14 Hche nikho chuleh keiman achonset jal’a Israel chu talen ka matsah ding, Bethel kho’a milimdoi maicham’a saki ka satlhah’a, chuleh maicham phung jong ka suhmang ding ahi.

Surely in the day that I shall visit the transgressions of Israel vpon him, I wil also visite the altars of Beth-el, and the hornes of the altar shall be broken off, and fall to the ground.

15 Chuleh mihaosa hon phalbi-in ding’a asah’u innom tah ho leh nipilai-in dinga asah’u inho jong, chuleh saiha-a kisa leng inpiho jong abon’a ka suhmang ding ahi.

And I wil smite the winter house with the sommer house, and the houses of yuorie shall perish, and the great houses shalbe consumed, sayth the Lord.
