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.
Hear this word that the LORD hath spoken against you, O children of Israel, against the whole family which I brought up out of 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 only have I known of all the families of the earth; therefore I will visit upon you all your iniquities.
3 Ajotna ding mun kihoutoh masa louva, mini lampi khat’a kijot khom thei mong hinam?
Will two walk together, except they have 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 roar in the forest, when he hath no prey? Will a young lion give forth his voice out of his den, if he have 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?
Will a bird fall in a snare upon the earth, where there is no lure for it? Will a snare spring up from the ground, and have 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?
Shall the horn be blown in a city, and the people not tremble? Shall evil befall a city, 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.
For the Lord GOD will do nothing, but He revealeth His counsel unto His servants 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 lion hath roared, who will not fear? The Lord GOD hath spoken, who can but prophesy?
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.
Proclaim it upon the palaces at Ashdod, and upon the palaces in the land of Egypt, and say: 'Assemble yourselves upon the mountains of Samaria, and behold the great confusions therein, and the oppressions in the midst 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 know not to do right, saith the LORD, who store up 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 adversary, even round about the land! And he shall bring down thy strength from thee, and thy palaces shall be spoiled.
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 saith the LORD: As the shepherd rescueth out of the mouth of the lion two legs, or a piece of an ear, so shall the children of Israel that dwell in Samaria escape with the corner of a couch, and the leg of a bed.
13 “Ngai uvin, chuleh Israel dounan gamsung pumpia thu gasei jun,” tin, Pakai, van Pathen chun aseiye.
Hear ye, and testify against the house of Jacob, saith the Lord GOD, the God of hosts.
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.
For in the day that I shall visit the transgressions of Israel upon him, I will also punish the altars of Beth-el, and the horns of the altar shall be cut 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 will smite the winter-house with the summer-house; and the houses of ivory shall perish, and the great houses shall have an end, saith the LORD.
