< 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 towering above the altar, and he commanded: Strike the tops of the pillars so that the foundations may shake, bring them down on the heads of the people below. The rest of them I will slay with the sword: no one will get away, no one will escape.
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 )
If they dig down to Sheol, there will my hand take them. If they climb up to the heavens, from there will I bring them down. (Sheol )
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.
If they hide themselves on the top of Carmel, there will I search them out and take them. If they hide out of my sight at the bottom of the sea, there will I command the sea serpent to 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.
If they are taken into captivity by their enemies, there will I command the sword to slay them. I will keep my eye on them but 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.
It is the Lord the God of hosts, who touches the earth and it trembles, all who live on it mourn. The earth rises up like the Nile, and sinks like the Nile of Egypt.
6 Pakaiyin vanchung chu chennan aneiyin, 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.
The one who builds in the heavens, who sets the dome of the sky over the earth, who summons the waters of the sea and pours them out on the face of the earth: the Lord 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.
To me, Israelites, you are just like the Cushites, says the Lord. Yes, I brought Israel up out of the land of Egypt, but also the Philistines from Caphtor, and the Arameans 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 God are on the sinful kingdom: I will destroy it from the face of the earth! But I will not completely destroy the house of Jacob, says the Lord.
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 am about to give the command, and I will shake the house of Israel among all the nations just as one shakes grain in a sieve, but not a pebble shall fall to 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.
All the sinners of my people, who deny that disaster will touch or befall them, will die by the sword.
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.
On that day I will raise up the fallen house of David, I will wall up its gaps and raise up its ruins, I will rebuild it as it was long ago.
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.
They will possess again the rest of Edom, and all the nations which once you ruled for me, says the Lord, who will do 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.
Listen! The days are coming, says the Lord, when the harvest is too big to reap before it is time to plow, when the grapes cannot be all trod before it is time to sow, when the mountains will run with sweet wine, and every hill will flow with it.
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 my people Israel, they will rebuild waste cities and inhabit them, plant vineyards and drink their wine, 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 on their own soil, and they will never again be uprooted from their land which I have given them, says the Lord your God.
