< Amos 8 >
1 Hatchungnung Pakaiyin, hicheng hi, themgao thilmun keima eivetsah e. Hichu nipilaija theiga-min longkai khat dimset in akitung e.
This is what Jehovah showed me: And look, a basket of summer fruit.
2 Hichun aman eidong in, “Amos ipi namu em?” eiti. Ken jong ka donbut in, “Longkai khat dimset nipilai theiga-min kamui’’ kati. Chuphat in Pakaiyin asei tai,’’ Hiche theiga-min namu bang’a hi, kami Israelte jong akichaina diu phat hunglhung ahitai. Keiman achunguva talen kamatsah ding hi, kakhongai tahlou ding ahi.
He said, "Amos, what do you see?" I said, "A basket of summer fruit." Then Jehovah said to me, "The end has come on my people Israel. I will not again pass by them any more.
3 Hiche nikho chuleh, houin’a la kisa hojong abon’a kana la sohgam ding, mithi tampi khopisung muntin’a thang jeng ding ahi. Hiche hi keima thaneipen Pakaiyin ka sei doh ahitai.
The songs of the temple will be wailings in that day," says Jehovah. "The dead bodies will be many. In every place they will throw them out with silence.
4 Hichehi ngai uvin, nanghon vaichate nachom gam’un, chuleh tahlelte kengchot phan nanei uve.
Hear this, you who trample the needy, and destroy the poor of the land,
5 Nanghon, cholngah nikho hunglhun ding nangah lel un, houthua kut kibol nikho hojong kichaidoh loihen, natiuve. Ajeh chu, nanghon thil tena dihlou nasem’un, chang leh suhlou chang ho, aman val val in mi nachohsah uvin, thilcho leh thiljoh hojong jou leh nal in nalhemlha uvin ahi.
saying, 'When will the new moon be gone, that we may sell grain? And the Sabbath, that we may market wheat, making the ephah small, and the shekel large, and dealing falsely with balances of deceit;
6 Nanghon, changsi tol’a kiseplha toh changtah nachoh hel’un, hichu najoh’un, chuteng vaicha leh tahlelte chu soh din dangka pehkhat pouvin na kichoh un, chuleh kengchot tokhat poutoh nalheh’un ahi.
that we may buy the poor for silver, and the needy for a pair of shoes, and sell the sweepings with the wheat?'"
7 Tun, Pakai Israel Pathen chu, ama leh ama akihahsel in, “A itih’a jong, na thilse bolho kahaimil lou hel ding ahi.
Jehovah has sworn by the pride of Jacob, "Surely I will never forget any of their works.
8 Hiche jeh’a chu, gamsung pumpi ling kihot banga killing ding, chuleh gamsung chu Nile vadung twi solai banga, hung kinuh sang ding chuleh kemsuh kitding ahi’’, ati.
Won't the land tremble for this, and everyone mourn who dwells in it? Yes, it will rise up wholly like the River; and it will be stirred up and sink again, like the River of Egypt.
9 “Hiche nikho chuleh, keiman sunlaiya nisa kalhumsah ding, chuleh sunchang laiya leiset chung mu ka thimsah ding ahi,” tin thanei pen Pakaiyin aseiye.
It will happen in that day," says Jehovah, "that I will cause the sun to go down at noon, and I will darken the earth in the clear day.
10 Chuleh, golvah kut nabol jouseu kaleh maona-a ka heidoh peh ding, la nasah jouseu jong kala-a ka heidoh peh ding nahiuve. Nanghon, thi-op pon nakisil uva, lunghem jeh’a amitakip nalu nahotol diu, Nachapa khatseh na neisun thijeh’a lunghem bang’a kalha diu, Hiche nikho chu iti lainat um hitam!’’tin Pakaiyin aseiye.
I will turn your feasts into mourning, and all your songs into lamentation; and I will make you wear sackcloth on all your bodies, and baldness on every head. I will make it like the mourning for an only son, and its end like a bitter day.
11 Hatchungnung Pakaiyin aseijin, ‘’Hiche nikho chu ahung lhung’e. Keiman gamsung kel ka lhahsah ding, an leh twi ngaichatna kel hilou ding, amavang, Pakai thusei jah ding ngaichatna kel hiding ahi.
Look, the days come," says Jehovah, "that I will send a famine in the land, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the word of Jehovah.
12 Miho, twikhanglen khat’a kon’a adang khat’a kitol leuva, chuleh gamkhat’a kon’a gamdang khat’a chediu, Pakai thusei jah ding holna-a, lhaito jeng jung diu. Ahivanga, amahon ahol’u chu amu louhel diu ahi.
They will wander from sea to sea, and from the north even to the east; they will run back and forth to seek the word of Jehovah, and will not find it.
13 Hiche nikho chuleh, nungah melhoitah holeh golhang thahatlai hojong Pakai thu jahding ngaicha-a lhulham soh diu ahi.
In that day the beautiful virgins and the young men will faint for thirst.
14 Chuleh Samaria khopia jumlehja um doi ho’a kihahsel’a, Dan pathen min’a kihahselho, chuleh Beersheba pathen min’a kitepna bol ho, abonchauva kipallhu gan hel diu, a itih’a, thoukit talou hel diu ahi,’’ ati.
Those who swear by the sin of Samaria, and say, 'As your god, Dan, lives;' and, 'As the way of Beersheba lives;' they will fall, and never rise up again."
