< Amos 1 >

1 Juda gam’a, Teko’ah kho’a cheng kelngoi ching hat, Amos kitipa heng’a, hiche thuhi ana lhung e. Judah gam’a Uzziah lengvaipoh lai chuleh Israel gam’a Jehoash chapa Jeroboam lengvaipoh laiya, ling kiho masang kum nina-a chu, hiche thuhi Amos in themgao thilmua anamu ahi.
The words of Amos, one of the shepherds of Tekoa, which he prophesied concerning Israel in the days of Uzziah king of Judah, and in the days of Jeroboam, the son of Joash, king of Israel, two years before the earth quake. He said: —
2 Aman hitin aseije, “Pakai ogin gimnei tah chu, Zion lhanga kon a hung kitum ding, chuleh Jerusalem khopia kon’a gamtin thong leuva hung ging ding ahi. Chuleh kelngoi ching ho hamhing dum jouse goplha ding, Carmel lhang’a hamhing ho geija goplha-a thigam dingu ahi.”
Jehovah will roar from Zion, And utter his voice from Jerusalem; The habitations of the shepherds shall mourn, And the top of Carmel shall wither.
3 Pakaiyin hitin aseiye, “Keiman Damascus khopi talen manlouva ka lha louhel ding ahi. Ajeh chu amiten chonset abol bol jing uvin, anga deh pouvin ahi. Amahon Gilead mun’ah kamite chu thih kangkuiya chang kikui bangin abol’un, ahi.
Thus saith Jehovah; For three transgressions of Damascus, And for four, will I not turn away its punishment; For they thrashed Gilead with thrashing-wains of iron.
4 Hijeh’a chu Keiman Hazael lengpa inpi meiya kahal lhah ding, chuleh Ben-hadad lengpa kulpi jong kasuhmang ding ahi.
I will send a fire upon the house of Hazael, Which shall devour the palaces of Benhadad.
5 Keiman Damascus khopi kotpi ka tumboh ding, chuleh Aven phaicham a cheng miho katha gam ding ahi.
I will also break the bar of Damascus, And I will destroy the inhabitant from the valley of Aven, And him that holdeth the sceptre from Beth-Eden, And the people of Syria shall be led captive to Kir: Jehovah hath said it.
6 Pakaiyin hitin aseije, “Gaza khopi talen manlouva kalha louhel ding ahi. Ajeh chu amiten chonset abol bol jeng’un, anga deh pouvin ahi. Amahon kho jousea miho abon’un sohchang in atolmang un, Edom gam’a soh in ajohdoh gam tauvin ahi.
Thus saith Jehovah: For three transgressions of Gaza, And for four, I will not turn away its punishment; For they led captive all that fell into their hands, And delivered them up to Edom.
7 Hijeh’a chu Keiman Gaza khopi bang ho meiya kahal lhah ding, chuleh akulpi jouse jong kasuhmang ding ahi.
But I will send a fire upon the wall of Gaza, Which shall devour her palaces.
8 Keiman Ashdod mite ka suhgam ding, chuleh Ashkelon lengpa jong ka suhmang ding ahi. Chuteng Ekron douna-a keiman ka khut kalha ding, Chuleh Philistine mi ahing doh amoh chengse jong thigam diu ahi,” tin Hatchung nung Pakaiyin aseiye.
And I will destroy the inhabitant from Ashdod, And him that holdeth the sceptre from Ashkelon; And I will turn my hand against Ekron, And the residue of the Philistines shall perish. The Lord, Jehovah, hath said it.
9 Pakaiyin hitin aseiye, “Tyre khopi talen manlouva kalha louhel ding ahi. Ajeh chu amiten chonset abol bol jengun, anga deh pouve. Amahon Israel toh sopi unao hina akitepnau asukeh’un, khojousea miho abon’un Edom gam’a soh chang in ajoh doh gam tauvin ahi.
Thus saith Jehovah: For three transgressions of Tyre, And for four, will I not turn away its punishment; Because they delivered up all their captives to Edom, And remembered not the brotherly covenant.
10 Hijeh’a chu, Keiman Tyre khopi bang ho meiya ka hallhah ding, chuleh akulpi jouse jong ka suhmang ding ahi,” ati.
But I will send a fire on the wall of Tyre, Which shall devour her palaces.
11 Pakaiyin hitin aseiye, “Edom mite talen man louva kalha louhel ding ahi. Ajeh chu amahon chonset abol bol jeng uvin, anga deh pouvin ahi. Amahon asopite, Israelte, chung’a chemjam apan’un adel jeng’un, dipdamna beijin aboltauve. Amahon, alungdam theilou jeh’un, asopite chu asat jing’un, chuleh nasatah in lunghang den in aum tauvin ahi.
Thus saith Jehovah: For three transgressions of Edom, And for four, will I not turn away his punishment; For he pursued his brother with the sword, And cast off all pity, And his anger tore perpetually; Yea, he kept his wrath forever.
12 Hijeh’a chu Keiman Teman meiya kahal ding, chuleh Bozrah kulpi jouse jong ka suhmang ding ahi.
But I will send a fire upon Teman. Which shall devour the palaces of Bozrah.
13 Pakaiyin hitin aseiye, “Ammon mite talen man louva kalha louhel ding ahi. Ajeh chu amahon chonset abol bol jeng uvin, anga dehpouvin ahi. Amahon gamgi kehbe na ding in, Gilead chu gal asat khum’un, numei gailai ho chemjam in agai acheuvin ahi.
Thus saith Jehovah: For three transgressions of the children of Ammon, And for four, will I not turn away their punishment; For they ripped up the women with child of Gilead, That they might enlarge their border.
14 Hijeh’a chu keiman Rabbah khopi bangho meiya kahallhah ding, chuleh akulpi jouse jong kasuhmang ding ahi. Hiche gal chu, chimpei nasatah kipei bang ding, chuleh huise gimnei tah gin bang’a, mi peng in husa kithong ding ahi.
But I will kindle a fire on the wall of Rabbah, Which shall devour her palaces, Amid the war-shout in the day of battle, In a whirlwind in the day of the storm.
15 Chutah leh alengpau leh leng chapate jouse abon’uva, migam’a sohchang ding’a kitolmang soh diu ahi,” tin Pakaiyin aseiye.
Their king shall go into captivity, He and his princes together, saith Jehovah.
