Amos 2
1 Hahoi BAWIPA ni a dei e teh, Moab ram ni Edom siangpahrang e a hrunaw hah hraba lah ao nahane hmai hoi pâeng e yon kathum touh dueng laipalah, yon pali touh dawkvah reknae na khang laipalah na awm mahoeh.
Thus saith the Lord; For three sins of Moab, and for four, I will not turn away from it; because they burnt the bones of the king of Idumea to lime.
2 Moab ram dawk hmai ka tha vaiteh, Kerioth kho e im kahawinaw hah ka kak sak han. Kacaipounge pawlawk, hramkinae, mongka uengnae hoiyah Moab ram teh a due awh han.
But I will send forth a fire on Moab, and it shall devour the foundations of its cities: and Moab shall perish in weakness, with a shout, and with the sound of a trumpet.
3 Moab ram a lungui vah, khobawinaw hah, kai ni ka takhoe vaiteh, ahni hoi bawinaw abuemlah ka thei han telah BAWIPA ni a ti.
And I will destroy the judge out of her, and slay all her princes with him, saith the Lord.
4 Judah lawkkamnae dawk Bawipa ni a dei e teh, Judahnaw BAWIPA e phunglamnaw hah tarawi hoeh. Kâlawknaw hah a pahnawt awh teh, mintoenaw ni a bawk awh e cathutkaphawk hoi payon e yon kathum touh dueng laipalah yon pali touh dawkvah reknae na khang laipalah na awm mahoeh.
Thus saith the Lord; For three sins of the children of Judah, and for four, I will not turn away from him; because they have rejected the law of the Lord, and have not kept his ordinances, and their vain [idols] which they made, which their fathers followed, caused them to err.
5 Judah ram dawk hmai ka tha vaiteh Jerusalem kho imnaw hah ka kak sak han.
And I will send a fire on Juda, and it shall devour the foundations of Jerusalem.
6 Hahoi BAWIPA ni a dei e teh, Isarel miphun ni tamikalan e hah tangka hoi hai, karoedengnaw hah, khokkhawm buet touh hoi hai, a yonae yon,
Thus saith the Lord; for three sins of Israel, and for four, I will not turn away from him; because they sold the righteous for silver, and the poor for sandals,
7 Karoedengnaw, e lû hah, vaiphu hoi muen kayo hanelah, ngainae a lenpoung teh, ka rahnoum e tami hah, kamsoumhoehe lawkcengnae yon, kaie ka min hah khin sak hanelah, a na pa hoi a ca ni buet touh dueng e napui hah, rei okhainae yon,
wherewith to tread on the dust of the earth, and they have smitten upon the heads of the poor, and have perverted the way of the lowly: and a son and his father have gone into the same maid, that they might profane the name of their God.
8 khohna e cawngca pueng, sathei thuengnae ateng vah a phai awh teh a i awh e yon, a yonnae tangka hoi a ran e misurtui hah Cathut e im dawkvah, a nei e yon kathum touh dueng laipalah, yon pali touh dawkvah, reknae na khang laipalah na awm mahoeh.
And binding their clothes with cords they have made them curtains near the altar, and they have drunk wine gained by extortion in the house of their God.
9 Sidar thing hoi kâvan lah arasang teh kathenkungnaw patetlah ka khaw e Amor miphunnaw teh nangmae hmalah, kai ni ka takhoe vaiteh, a lathueng lah ahnie a paw hai thoseh, a rahim lah ahnie a tangpha hai thoseh, kai ni ka raphoe toe.
Nevertheless I cut off the Amorite from before them, whose height was as the height of a cedar, and he was strong as an oak; and I dried up his fruit from above, and his roots from beneath.
10 Nangmouh naw hah Izip ram hoi na rasa teh, Amor ram hah pang sak hanelah, kum 40 touh thung kahrawngum vah na hrawi awh.
And I brought you up out of the land of Egypt, and led you about in the desert forty years, that ye should inherit the land of the Amorites.
11 Nangmae ca tangawn hah, Profet lah, thoundounnaw hah, Nazirite tami lah, kai ni ka hmoun toe. Oe Isarel miphunnaw, hete lawk kamsoum hoeh maw, telah BAWIPA ni a pacei.
And I took of your sons for prophets, and of your young men for consecration. Are not these things so, ye sons of Israel? saith the Lord.
12 Nangmouh niteh, Nazirite taminaw ni nei hanlah, misurtui na poe toe. Profetnaw hai profet a tawk teh, dei hanh awh telah na cakâ awh.
But ye gave the consecrated ones wine to drink; and ye commanded the prophets, saying, Prophesy not.
13 Khenhaw, leng teh kakawi lah rasoup e cabong ni a ratet e patetlah nangmouh na onae hmuen hah kai ni ka ratet han.
Therefore, behold, I roll under you, as a waggon full of straw is rolled.
14 Ka yawng thai poung e tami ni, yawng thainae kâhmawt hoeh. Athakaawme tami ni amahoima kârungngang thainae kâ awm mahoeh. A taran kahawi ni ama hai kârungngang mahoeh.
And flight shall perish from the runner, and the strong shall not hold fast his strength, and the warrior shall not save his life:
15 Licung ka patuem e tami ni kangdout mahoeh. Ka yawng thai poung e ransa ni amahoima rungngang mahoeh. Marang kâcuie ni hai amahoima rungngang mahoeh.
and the archer shall not withstand, and he that is swift of foot shall in no wise escape; and the horseman shall not save his life.
16 A lungkatang ni teh athakaawme ni hat nah hnin vah, caici lahoi a yawng awh han telah, BAWIPA ni a dei.
And the strong shall find no confidence in power: the naked shall flee away in that day, saith the Lord.
