Amos 9

1 Keiman Pakai chu maicham phung kom’a adin kamun, Aman hitin aseiye, “Hou-in pumpi chu, akibulphuna jouse geija achimlhah kahsen, akingapna khompi ho jouse chu jep jep jeng inlang, intingvum, Chuleh athimoh ahingdoh chengse jong chu, keiman chemjam’a kasatlih soh hel ding, koimacha ajamdoh umlouhel ding ahiuve.

I saw the Lord standing by the altar; and he said: Smite the capital, so that the thresholds shall tremble! Break them in pieces upon the heads of all of them! And their residue will I slay with the sword. He that fleeth of them shall not flee from danger, And he that escapeth of them shall not escape into safety.

2 Amahon noimigam geijin leiko kilaiju jong leh, keiman noimigam’a kon’a amaho kahin kaidoh diu ahi. Chuleh vanchung geijin amaho kaldoh’u jong leh, keiman van’a kon’a amaho ka kailhah diu ahi. (Sheol h7585)

Though they dig down to the under-world, Thence shall my hand take them; Though they climb up to heaven, Thence will I bring them down. (Sheol h7585)

3 Chuleh Carmel molsang vum’a amaho gakisel jongleu, hikom’a jong chu keiman amaho kaholdoh’a, kakaidoh diu ahi. Twikhanglen noilam peh’a amaho gakisel jong leu, Keiman gulpi ka sol’a, aga chuh den diu ahikit’e.

Though they hide themselves on the top of Carmel, There will I search for them, and take them away; Though they hide themselves from mine eyes in the bottom of the sea, There will I command the serpent, and he shall bite them.

4 Chuleh amelma teuvin amaho chu sohchang in tolmang jong leu, keiman chemjam choiho katildoh’a, asatlih gam hel diu ahi. Hiche ahi, koiman amaho chunga manthahna kapohlut ding, chu teng mihem koiman amaho chu apanpi thei louhel diu ahi.

Though they go into captivity before their enemies, There will I command the sword, and it shall slay them; I will set mine eyes upon them for evil, and not for good.

5 Pakai van Pathen in Leiset chung a tohkhah leh ajunlha jeng in, chuleh leiset chung cheng jouse alunghem lha jeng uvin ahi. Ajeh chu, twiso pet’a, Nile vadung kinuh lap lap’a akhantou bang in, gamsung pumpi jong akhang teltul in, chuin akemsuh kit in ahi.

For the Lord Jehovah of hosts Is he, that toucheth the earth, and it shall melt, And all that dwell therein shall mourn; All of it shall rise in waves like a river, And shall be overflowed, as by the river of Egypt;

6 Pakaiyin vanchung chu chennan aneijin, leiset chunghi, aman kengto ngapnan akisem’e. Aman twikhanglen ho’a kon in, twi akoukhom in, leiset chunga go in ahinsunglha kit in ahi. Ama hi, amin Pakai ahi.

He that buildeth his upper rooms in the heavens, And foundeth his arch upon the earth, —That calleth the waters of the sea, And poureth them out upon the face of the earth, —Jehovah is his name.

7 Pakaiyin hitin aseiye, “Vo Israel chate, nangho hi, Ethiopia mite sang’a keiman ka khohsah joh ding’a na kigel’u ham? Keiman Israel chu Egypt gam’a kon’a kahinpui doh’a, chuleh Philistine mite jong chu Crete gam’a kon’a keima man kahin puidoh hilou ham? Chuleh Syria mite chu, Kir gam’a kon’a ka hin puidoh ahiuve.

Are ye not as the Ethiopians to me, O children of Israel? saith Jehovah. Did I not bring Israel from the land of Egypt, And the Philistines from Caphtor, and the Syrians from Kir?

8 Keima thaneipen Pakaiyin, Israel mite achonset nau kavelhi jingin ahi. Keiman leiset chunga kon’a amaho hi ka suhmang hel ding ahi,’’ tin Pakaiyin aseiye.

Behold, the eyes of the Lord Jehovah are upon the sinful kingdom, And I will destroy it from the face of the earth; Yet will I not utterly destroy the house of Jacob, saith Jehovah.

9 Ajeh chu keiman thupeh kanei ding, midangho kibolna banga, kami Israelte jong, tengsa-a changchi kilohchil banga ka lochil ding, amavang changtah khat jong tol’a lhahsah louva kakoi ding ahi.

For, behold, I will command, And I will sift the house of Israel among all the nations, As one sifteth corn with a sieve, And not a grain shall fall upon the ground.

10 Chuleh chonset bol jouse abon'uva chemjam’a thisoh hel diu, Thilsen eiho eipha pouvinte, tia seilele ho jouse jong, abon'uva thisoh heldiu ahi.

But all the sinners of my people shall die by the sword, Who say, Evil shall not approach, nor fall upon us.

11 Hiche nikho chuleh keiman alhusa David lenggam chu kaphoh ding’a, katundoh kit ding ahi. Akulpi bangsesa ho kasemphat kit ding, chuteng achimsa jouse ka sahphat kit ding, chuleh aloupina mangsa chu ka tundoh kit ding ahi.

In that day I will raise up the fallen tabernacle of David, And I will close up the breaches thereof, And raise up its ruins, And I will build it, as in the days of old.

12 Chuteng, Edom mi ahingdoh chengse chu Israel mite chang diu, chuleh kamin’a kihou namtin vaipi jouse jong abon’a alotha diu ahi. Pakaiyin aseidohsa chu aboldoh tei ding ahi.

That they may possess the remnant of Edom, And all the nations, which shall be called by my name. Thus saith Jehovah, who doeth this.

13 “Nikho ahung lhung’e’’ tin Pakaiyin aseiye, “Lousoh ga leh lengpi ga ho, hetman louva khangloi loi uva, chang-atpa leh lengpitwi chilpa aphah thu ding ahi. Chuteng molleh lhang jousea lengpitwi dimsoh’a, lengpitwi lhum chu hoh banga longlha ding ahi.

Behold the days come, saith Jehovah, That the plougher shall draw near to the reaper, And the treader of grapes to the sower of the seed; And the mountains shall drop new wine, And all the hills shall melt.

14 Keiman gamlatah’a sohchang kamite kahin lepuilut kitding, chuleh amahon khopi gemsa ho asahphat kit uva, chenna aneidiu ahi. Amahon lengpilei akibol’uva, amaho lengpitwi adon diu, chuleh honlei akibol uva, amaho lousoh ga aneh diu ahi.

I will bring back the captives of my people Israel, And they shall build the desolate cities, and shall inhabit them; And they shall plant vineyards, and drink their wine; They shall also make gardens, and eat their fruit.

15 Chuteng keiman amaho chu agamsunguva dettah’a ka chensah’a, ka phudet ding, Amaho kapehna gamsung’a kon’a, avel’a kikaidoh kitlouheldiu ahi, tin Pathen in aseiye.

I will plant them in their land, And they shall no more be rooted up from the land which I have given them, Saith Jehovah, thy God.
