Amos 6
1 Ohe ada nahiuve, Jerusalem khopia nomsatah’a chengho, chuleh Samaria khopia lungmong tah’a khosa ho! Namtin vaipi lah’a naminthang lheh’un, chuleh mihon napanpina ngaichan nakom a ahung jiuve.
Alas for the careless in Zion, and for them who put confidence in the mountain of Samaria, —the distinguished among the first group of nations, to whom came in the house of Israel.
2 Amavang Calneh lhang galkaijun vetem un, chuteng Hamath khopilen a chun chepaijun, chuleh Philistine khopi Gath a jong chesuh un, nangho amaho sang’a phajo nahideh pouve, vetem un, amaho iti manthah hitauvem!
Pass ye over to Calneh, and see, and go on from thence to Hamath the great, —and go down to Gath of the Philistines, are they better than these kingdoms? or their boundary larger than your boundary?
3 Nanghon nachung uva hamsetna hunglhung vahlou dingin nagel’un, ahinlah, pumhat’a nathilbol’u chun thutanna nikho chu nakiloilut loijiuve.
Ye who are putting far away the day of calamity, —but bringing near the abode of violence:
4 Ohe ada nahiuve, saiha-a kisem jalkhun’a kijamlea, chuleh nomtah’a kijaole ho, Kelngoinou lah’a adei dei kitha-a neho, chuleh bonghon lah’a athao adei lailai kitha-a neho,
Who are lying on beds of ivory, and sprawling on their couch of pleasure, —and eating the well-fed of the flock, and the fatted calves out of the midst of the stalls:
5 Nanghon selangdah tum ging toh thon lakoila pou nasa uvin, chuleh kithepsah tah in David umchan na tho uvin, tumging thei manchah nakisem thu’uve.
Who are bawling at the bidding of the harp, —like David, have they invented for themselves instruments of song:
6 Nanghon khon dim dim in lengpitwi nadon’un, chuleh thao namtwi pen nakinu uvin, Na nampiu manthah chu lunggim nan nanei pouve.
Who are quaffing bowls of wine, and, with the best of oils, anointing themselves, —and are not afflicted for the injury of Joseph: —
7 Hijeh’a chu, nangho gal-hing’a sohchang masapen’a napan diu, chutah leh nomtah’a khosaho chu, anopsahnau abon’a beisoh hel ding ahi.
Therefore, at once, shall they go into exile among the first of the exiles, —so shall be disturbed the revelry of sprawlers.
8 Hatchungnung Pakai chu, amatah min in akihahsel in, chuleh Pakai van Pathen ahina chun hitin aseiye, “Israel mite louchalna kaho in, chuleh akulpi sem’u jong ka kidah’e. Hijeh chun, hiche khopi leh asunga um chengse abon’a, amelmateu kapehdoh ding ahi,’’ ati.
Sworn hath the Lord, Yahweh, by his own life, Declareth Yahweh, God of hosts, abhorring am I, the grandeur of Jacob, and, his palaces, I hate, —therefore will I cast off the city and the fulness thereof.
9 Ijemtia insung khat’a ahingdoh mison khat aum nahlai leh, amaho jong chu abonchauva thisoh hel diu ahi.
And it shall come to pass, though there be left remaining ten men in one house, yet shall they die;
10 Insung mikhattou, amopohna dung jui'a asopu thisaho govam ding kigo-a, insunga kon’a lhilongho ahinputdoh phatleh, insungmi ahingdoh pen kom’a chu, midang jong um nalaijem? tia adoh khah leh, ama chun kihahsel’a “Aum poi, pao poh hih in! Pakai chu amin jeng jong iphah pohlou hel diu ahibouve,’’ ati ding, apho ding ahi.
And a man’s near of kin, even he who is about to burn the bones, shall carry him out of the house, when he shall say to him that is in the hinder parts of the house—Are there yet any with thee? and he shall say—No one. Then shall he say—Hush! for we must not invoke the name of Yahweh.
11 Ajeh chu vetan, in loupitah tah hojong ahalsi sia kisugep ding, chuleh in neocha cha hojong kivo goisoh hel ding ahiuve,’’ tin Pakaiyin thupeh anei tai.
For lo! Yahweh, is giving command, and will smite the great house into ruins, —and the little house with clefts.
12 Songpi chunga khu sakolte chomle le thei mong’a, hiche lah chu bongchal in loukaina-a akaithei mong ding ham? Hitobang chun, nanghon ngolhoi tah in, thu adih’a kitan chu thina gu-twi na sosah uvin, chuleh adihtah’a hung ga doh twitah chu nehmohel khacheh-chuh na sodoh gam tauvin ahi.
Shall horses run upon crag? or will a man plough [there] with oxen? For ye have turned to poison the sentence of justice, and the fruit of righteousness, to wormwood:
13 Chuleh nanghon Lo-debar chunga nagaljonau chu nakithang-at piuvin, kiletsahtah in, eihon eiho thahat’a karnaim chu ilah’u hilou ham? na kitiuve.
Who rejoice in a thing of nought, —who say, Have we not by our own strength, taken to ourselves horns?
14 “Vo Israel mite, nangho douding melma namkhat katildoh ding ahi,’’ tin Pakai van Pathen chun aseiye. ‘’Amahon nangho nagamsung uva nasuh genthei diu, sahlam’a Leb-hamath apat noilam’a Arabah phaicham geija nasuh genthei diu ahi,’’ati.
For behold me! raising up against you, O house of Israel, Declareth Yahweh, the God of hosts—a nation! And they shall crush you, from the entering in of Hamath, unto the torrent-bed of the waste plain.
