< Amos 4 >

1 Ka thusei ngaijun, Samaria gam’a cheng bongpi tobang ho, vaicha gentheite bolgim’a chuleh panpi ngaicha geuva um tahlel te noigep gep jiho, Ajiteu pasal ho jah’a,’ “Ju hin dom kit in don’u hite’’ tia peng jah jah vo numei ho!
Listen to this message, you well-fed cows of Bashan who live on Mount Samaria, who oppress the poor and crush the needy, and who order your husbands, “Bring us drinks!”
2 Hatchungnung Pakai chu ama mintheng pan in aki hahsel tai, vetan, na chung’a hiche nikho chu hunglhung ding ahi; Mihon nanah hom uva ngakoi tobang thihkoija na kaimang dingu, Amitakip anukhahpen geija ngakoija na kaimang ding’u ahi.
The Lord God has sworn by his holiness: Watch out! For the time is coming when they will drag you away with hooks, each one of you will be like a fish on a hook.
3 “Nangho kulpi pal chimlha lah’a na jamdoh diu, Na kulpiu sunga kon’a naki sep doh diu ahi,’’ tin Pakaiyin aseiye.
You will leave through breaches in the city walls, thrown out in the direction of Mount Hermon.
4 “Cheuvin, Bethel kho’a doihouna kilhaina thilto gabol un, Gilgal kho’a cheuvin, Pathen thungailou vin setna gabolbe be jeng tauvin, Jingkah seh in kilhaina bol un, chuleh nithum lhinseh in na hopsom hinchoi jun,’’
Why don't you go to Bethel and sin? Go to Gilgal and add to your sins even more? Offer your sacrifices in the morning, bring your tithes after three days.
5 “Na changlhah cholsosa chu Pakai thangvahna thilto in toh'in, chu ting, deichom’a nangma kipehna thilto jong pen; chuleh hichu muntin’a phongjal un seichoi le uvin!
Burn a thank offering of bread made with yeast, and announce what you're giving as freewill offerings so everyone will know. This is what you love to do! declares the Lord God.
6 Na khopi jouseu chunga neh leh chah kalhahsam sah in, nachenna mun jouse uva nehding beihel in kalhan, kel ka lhunsah tan, Ahivang in nangho ka henga nahung kiledeh pouve, tin Pakaiyin aseiye.
It was I who made sure you had nothing to eat in all your cities, and a lack of food wherever you lived, but still you wouldn't return to me, says the Lord.
7 Na lousoh ga houvin gotwi angaichat khohlai tah in, go ka juhsah dan, kakham tang tai, Chuleh keiman khopi khat chung’a go kajuhsah in, khopi chomkhat chunga ka juhsah da ji’e. Louma khat chunga go kajuh sah jin, louma chomkhat chunga kajuhsah da ji e.
It was I who kept the rain from falling when there was still three months before harvest. One city would have rain, while another would not. One field would have rain, another would dry up from lack of rain.
8 “Hijeh chun, miho chu khopi tin’a donding twi hol in akijot uvin, ahivang in amahon lungna chimset’a donkham twi aga mudoh pouve; Hichan gei hin jong, nangho kahenga nahung kile deh pouve,’’ tin Pakaiyin aseiye.
People wandered from town to town looking for water, yet were still thirsty. But still you did not return to me, declares the Lord.
9 Keiman na honlei chengu leh nalengpi lei chengu chunga thinglung leh nget kachuhsah in; Na theichang phung jouseu leh na Olive phung jouseu jong abon'in khaokhoten anechai soh hel tauvin; Hichan gei hin jong nangho kaheng’a nahung kile deh pouve, tin Pakaiyin aseiye.
I struck your many farms and vineyards with blight and mildew; locusts devoured your fig trees and olive trees. But still you did not return to me, declares the Lord.
10 “Egypt gamsunga kana bol bang in, keiman nangho chunga gamna hise kalhalut in; Na golhang jouseu gal in kasat lih soh in, chuleh na sakol jouseu jong akikaimang soh hel tai. Na kimvel’u namse leuvin mithi-ui nanah hom dim in nanah’un, Ahivang in nangho kahenga nahung kilekit deh pouve,’’ tin Pakaiyin aseiye.
I sent a plague on you like I did in Egypt. I killed your young men in battle; I took away your horses; I made you smell the stench of dead bodies in your camps. But still you did not return to me, declares the Lord.
11 ‘’Keiman Sodom leh Gomorrah ka suhmang bangin, na khopiu phabep ka sumang in; Nangho ahingdoh amoh chengse jong, meikong lah’a kon’a kikaidoh thingbong bep na hiuvin, Ahivang in nangho kahenga nahung kilekit deh pouve,’’ tin Pakaiyin aseiye.
Some of you I destroyed as I destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah. You were like a burning stick pulled out of a fire. But still you did not return to me, declares the Lord.
12 Vo Israel, keiman nang jong hitobanga chu kabol ding, hamsetna nasatah nachunga ka lhunsah ding ahi. Hijeh chun, na Pathen toh kimaito din kigong in, vo Israel!
Therefore, this is what I am going to do to you, Israel. Because I am going to do this, Israel, prepare to meet your God!
13 Ijeh inem itileh, Pakaiyin molsang jouse atungdoh in, khohui jouse jong anunsah in, chuleh alungngaito ho jong mihem kom’a aphong doh ji e. Aman jingkah khovah leh janlai muthim asemdoh in, chuleh leiset chunga mun sanglai jouse chotphan anei jin ahi. Pakai, van Pathen kiti chu ama min ahi.
Watch! The One who made the mountains, who created the winds, who reveals his thoughts to humankind, who turns the sunlight into darkness, who walks on the high places of the earth—the Lord God of power is his name!
