< Amos 7 >

1 Hatchungnung Pakai chun, thil hicheng hi themgao thilmun keima eivetsah e. Pakaiyin khaokhote tamtah alomchang’a, gamsunga ahinlhalut keiman kamui. Hichu, loujaova lousoh-ga lengpa ding’a akikhop tup jou, aban’a ding lousoh-ga ahungdon doh thah phatlai ahi.
Thus the Lord GOD showed me: behold, he formed locusts in the beginning of the shooting up of the latter growth; and behold, it was the latter growth after the king’s harvest.
2 Khaokhoten gamsung’a hamhing aum jouse abonchan ane chaisoh hel tan ahi. Chu in ken jong, “Vo Hatchungnung Pakai, nahenga kataove nei ngaidam’un, kahindoh joulou diu ahitai. Ajeh chu, Israel hi neocha ahibouvin, na kidoupi kham jong ahipoi’’ tin ka sei tai.
When they finished eating the grass of the land, then I said, “Lord GOD, forgive, I beg you! How could Jacob stand? For he is small.”
3 Hijeh chun Pakaiyin alung ngaito akhel in, “Hiche hi kibolda tahen!’’ tin Pakaiyin asei tai.
The LORD relented concerning this. “It shall not be,” says the LORD.
4 Chujouvin, Hatchungnung Pakai chun, themgao thilmun thildang khat eimusah kit e. Pakaiyin amite chunga gotna thutan khum ding in meikong hattah khat akouvin, hiche meikong chun kokhuh thuhtah tah jong akachai jeng in, chuleh gamsung pumpi jong ahalvam soh hel tai.
Thus the Lord GOD showed me: behold, the Lord GOD called for judgement by fire; and it dried up the great deep, and would have devoured the land.
5 Chuin kenjong, vo hatchungnung Pakai, naheng’a kataove nei lungset’un bolda tan, ka hindoh joulou diu ahitai, ajeh chu Israel hi neocha ahibouve, na kidoupi kham jong ahipoi,’’ tin ka sei tai.
Then I said, “Lord GOD, stop, I beg you! How could Jacob stand? For he is small.”
6 Chutah chun Pakaiyin alungngaito akhel kit in,’ “Hiche jong hi kibolda tahen,’’ tin thanei pen Pakaiyin aseiye.
The LORD relented concerning this. “This also shall not be,” says the Lord GOD.
7 Chujouvin, Pakaiyin thildang khat, themgao thilmun eivetsah kit e. Pakaiyin akhut’a songkhai-in tena khat achoijin, pal kigensa kom’a ading’e. Aman hiche pal kigensa chu phatea dingdet jing hinam, tin atetoh len ahi.
Thus he showed me: behold, the Lord stood beside a wall made by a plumb line, with a plumb line in his hand.
8 Chuleh Pakai chun eidong in,’’Amos ipi namu em? eiti. Chuin kenjong ka donbut in, “songkhai-intena khat kamui’’ kati. Chutah chun Pakaiyin aseijin, “Hiche songkhai-intena kachoija hi, kamite ka tetoh ding, achonset nau jouse donlouva kakoi louhel ding ahi.
The LORD said to me, “Amos, what do you see?” I said, “A plumb line.” Then the Lord said, “Behold, I will set a plumb line in the middle of my people Israel. I will not again pass by them any more.
9 Na pului teu doipheng ho abon’a kisuse gamhel ding, Israel mite muntheng ho jouse jong ahomkeuva kijamsoh hel ding ahi. Chuleh Jeroboam insung khang gui jong kasuh gamhel ding ahi’’ ati.
The high places of Isaac will be desolate, the sanctuaries of Israel will be laid waste; and I will rise against the house of Jeroboam with the sword.”
10 Chuin Bethel khopia thempupa, Amajiah kitipa chun, Israel lengpa Jeroboam kom’a mi asol in, thu agalhut sah tai. ‘’Israel mite jalah tah’a, nakotphung ngeiya hin, Amos kitipan, nang douna leh dehnan thu aseijin, athusei doh hohi dou’a dou jou ahipoi.
Then Amaziah the priest of Bethel sent to Jeroboam king of Israel, saying, “Amos has conspired against you in the middle of the house of Israel. The land is not able to bear all his words.
11 Aman hitin aseiye, “Jeroboam hi chemjam’a loutei tei ding, sot lou ding ahitai. Chuleh Israel mite jong sohchang’a kikaimang diu ahi,’’ tin aga sei sah tai.
For Amos says, ‘Jeroboam will die by the sword, and Israel shall surely be led away captive out of his land.’”
12 Chujouvin, Amajiah in Amos chu thu apen, “Vo mitva neipa, hilaimun’a kon in potdoh'in! Judah gamsung’a kilekit loijin, chuleh chua chun gaothu nasei nom nom seijin lang naneh ding ga kihol tan!
Amaziah also said to Amos, “You seer, go, flee away into the land of Judah, and there eat bread, and prophesy there,
13 Hilai Bethel khopia hin gaothu avel in hung seikit tahih in. Ajeh chu hilaimun hi, lengpa muntheng ahin chuleh gamsung pumpi dia jong muntheng Pathen houna mun ahi bouve’’ ati.
but don’t prophesy again any more at Bethel; for it is the king’s sanctuary, and it is a royal house!”
14 Chuphat in Amos in adonbut in, “Keima themgao tah tah chu kahi pon, chuleh themgao guija peng jong kahipoi. Keima kelngoi ching’a pang mei mei kahin, theipi thingna ho malngim lea pangbou kahi.
Then Amos answered Amaziah, “I was no prophet, neither was I a prophet’s son, but I was a herdsman, and a farmer of sycamore figs;
15 Ahivang in, kelngoi hon nung kajuina akon in Pakaiyin eikou doh tan, kajah’a aseitai. “Chenlang, kamite Israelte lah’a gaothu ga sei tan,’’ eiti.
and the LORD took me from following the flock, and the LORD said to me, ‘Go, prophesy to my people Israel.’
16 Hijeh chun, tunjong Pakai thusei hi ngaijin. “Nangman nasei jin; Israel dounan jong gaothu seidan lang, kamite dounan jong thuhil in pang hih in’’ nati.
Now therefore listen to the LORD’s word: ‘You say, Don’t prophesy against Israel, and don’t preach against the house of Isaac.’
17 Amavang, Pakaiyin hitin aseiye; “Na jinu chu khopi sung’a notia hung pang ding, chuleh na chapate leh na chanute chem. jam’a hunglou diu, na gamsung jong abeh beh’a kihom khen ding, chuleh nangma tah jong migam’a naga thiding ahi. Chuleh Israel chate jong agamsung uva kon’a gamdang’a sohchang’a kitolmang teitei ding ahiuve, ati,’’ tin aseiye.
Therefore the LORD says: ‘Your wife shall be a prostitute in the city, and your sons and your daughters shall fall by the sword, and your land shall be divided by line; and you yourself shall die in a land that is unclean, and Israel shall surely be led away captive out of his land.’”
