< Amos 4 >
1 Karoedengnaw ka rektap e, kahaikahlam kaawmnaw ka pacekpahlek e, amae bawinaw hah canei hane na poe haw ati awh teh, Samaria mon dawk kaawm e Bashan maitonaw, hete lawk he thai awh haw.
Hear you this word, you heifers of the land of Basan that are in the mountain of Samaria, that oppress the poor, and trample on the needy, which say to their masters, Give us that we may drink.
2 Bawipa Jehovah ni amae thoungnae hoi thoe a bo e patetlah nangmanaw hah hradang hoi thoseh, nangmae ca catounnaw hah tamlawk hoi thoseh mannae tueng a pha han.
The Lord swears by his holiness, that, behold, the days come upon you, when they shall take you with weapons, and fiery destroyers shall cast those with you into boiling cauldrons.
3 Namamouh ni na hmu awh e a kâko dawk hoi lengkaleng na tâco awh vaiteh, Hermon thungvah na kâ tâkhawng awh han telah BAWIPA ni ati.
And you shall be brought forth naked in the presence of each other; and you shall be cast forth on the mountain Romman, says the Lord.
4 Bethel kho dawk cet nateh, yon awh haw. Gilgal kho dawk cet nateh kâtapoenae pung sak haw. Amom tangkuem thuengnae sathei hnin thum touh dawk vai touh, pung hra pung touh e hah sin awh.
You went into Bethel, and sinned, and you multiplied sin at Galgala; and you brought your meat-offerings in the morning, [and] your tithes every third day.
5 Na lawp awh e hno thung dawk hoi lunghawilawkdeinae thueng awh. Lungthocalah hoi thuengnae hah pathang sak awh. Oe Isarelnaw, hottelah na sak navah, nangmouh ni na nawm awh han telah Bawipa Jehovah ni ati.
And they read the law without, and called for public professions: proclaim aloud that the children of Israel have loved these things, says the Lord.
6 Kai ni nangmae kho tangkuem dawk, nangmouh na onae hmuen tangkuem dawk, takang ka tho sak nahai thoseh, nangmouh ni kai koe bout tho han na ngai awh hoeh telah BAWIPA ni ati.
And I will give you dullness of teeth in all your cities, and lack of bread in all your places: yet you returned not to me, says the Lord.
7 Canga tue a pha hoehnahlan, thapa yung thum lathueng lah, kho a rak hoeh nahanlah, kho teh kai ni ka ngang toe. Kho buet touh dawk rak sak han thoseh, kho buet touh dawk a rak hoeh nahane thoseh ka sak han. Law buet touh ni kho tui a hmu vaiteh, alouke law ni teh hmawt mahoeh ka ke lah ao han.
Also I withheld from you the rain three months before the harvest: and I will rain upon one city, and on another city I will not rain: one part shall be rained upon, and the part on which I shall not rain shall be dried up.
8 Hottelah kho thung dawk hoi kho thung e naw ni tui nei hanelah kho buet touh dawk a cei nakunghai boum awh mahoeh. Hatei nangmouh ni kai koe ban hane na ngai awh hoeh telah BAWIPA ni ati.
And [the inhabitants of] two or three cities shall be gathered to one city to drink water, and they shall not be satisfied: yet you have not returned to me, says the Lord.
9 Kahlî ni akungnaw a due sak. A ke sak teh atui lah a lawng sak teh, duenae hoi kai ni ka rek toe. Nangmouh koe laikawk, misur takha, thaibunglungkungnaw, olivekungnaw, hah samtongnaw ni a ca awh toe. Hatei kai koe na ban awh hoeh telah BAWIPA ni ati.
I struck you with parching, and with blight: you multiplied your gardens, your vineyards, and your fig-grounds, and the cankerworm devoured your olive yards: yet not [even] thus did you return to me, says the Lord.
10 Izip ram na kâhmo e lacik hah nangmouh na onae koe ka tha toe. Thoundounnaw hah tahloi hoi ka thei sak toe. Marangnaw hah ka man sak toe. Nangmouh na onae rim dawk kapawk e hmui hah na hnong dawk ka kâen sak toe. Hatei kai koe na ban awh hoeh telah BAWIPA ni ati.
I sent pestilence amongst you by the way of Egypt, and killed your young men with the sword, together with your horses that were taken captive; and in my wrath against you I set fire to your camps: yet not even thus did you return to me, says the Lord.
11 Cathut ni Sodom kho hoi Gomorrah kho a tâkhawng e patetlah nangmouh tangawn kai ni na tâkhawng vaiteh, hmai dawk hoi rayu e thingtu patetlah na o awh toe. Hatei kai koe bout ban hane na ngai awh hoeh telah BAWIPA ni ati.
I overthrew you, as God overthrew Sodoma and Gomorrha, and you became as a brand plucked out of the fire: yet not even thus did you return to me, says the Lord.
12 Hatdawkvah, oe Isarelnaw, a lathueng lah ka sak e patetlah nangmouh koe ka sak han rah. Hottelah ka sak han dawkvah, Oe Isarelnaw, namamae Cathut hoi kâhmo hanelah, kârakueng awh.
Therefore thus will I do to you, O Israel: nay because I will do thus to you, prepare to call on your God, O Israel.
13 Khenhaw. Monnaw ka sak niteh, kahlî ka sak e, tami ni pouk e naw ka panuek sak e, amom angnae hah ka hmawt sak e, talai arasangnae hmuen hah ka coungroe e a min teh Jehovah Cathut doeh.
For, behold, I am he that strengthens the thunder, and creates the wind, and proclaims to men his Christ, forming the morning and the darkness, and mounting on the high places of the earth, The Lord God Almighty is his name.
