< 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.
Listen to this message, women of Sameria, you well-fed cows of Bashan, who oppress the poor and crush the needy, who say to your husbands, “Bring us another 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 God has sworn by his holiness: The time is coming when you will be carried away in baskets, your children carried away in fish-baskets,
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 through the breaches in the city wall you will go, thrown out on the garbage dump, 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.
Come to Bethel and transgress, at Gilgald increase your transgression. Bring your sacrifices in the morning, every third day your tithes!
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.
Burn some leavened bread as a thank-offering, proclaim aloud your voluntary offerings, for you love to do this, Israelites! says the Lord God.
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.
But it was I who gave to you empty stomachs in all your cities, and lack of bread in all your towns, yet you have not returned 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.
It was I who withheld from you the rain, sending rain on one city, while on another I allowed no rain. One field received rain, while a field without rain withered.
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.
People from two or three cities ranged as far as another city for drinking water, and still they did not have enough, yet you did not return 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 blight and mildew, I laid waste your gardens and vineyards. The swarming locust devoured your fig and your olive trees, yet you did not 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 plague among you like the plagues of Egypt, I slew your youths with the sword, your horses raided away, I caused the stench of your camps to rise in your nostrils, yet you did not 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 wrought a destruction among you, as God destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah. You were like a stick snatched from the fire, yet you did not 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 this is what I will do to you, Israel, and because I am about to do this to you, prepare to meet your God, 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.
He is here! He who forms the mountains, creates the wind, declares to his thoughts to mortals, makes dawn and darkness, treads upon the heights of the earth, the Lord, the God of hosts, is his name!
