Amos 5
1 Oe Isarelnaw, atu nangmouh koe kai ni ka dei e khuinae lawk hah thai awh haw.
Listen to this word, which I lift over you in lamentation. The house of Israel has fallen, and it will no longer rise again.
2 Isarel imthungnaw na rawp awh toe. Bout na thaw mahoeh toe. Namamae talai dawk ceitakhai lah na o awh toe. Na ka pathaw hane tami awm hoeh.
The virgin of Israel has been thrown onto her land, there is no one who can raise her up.
3 Bawipa Jehovah ni a dei e teh, Isarel miphunnaw e thaw tawk sak hanelah, tami 1,000 touh ka poe thai hane kho teh, tami cum touh, cum touh ka poe thai hane kho ni hra touh doeh a poe thai han.
For thus says the Lord God: In the city from which a thousand departed, a hundred will remain, and in that from which a hundred departed, ten will remain, in the house of Israel.
4 BAWIPA ni Isarel miphunnaw a dei pouh e teh kai hah na tawng awh haw. Na tawng awh pawiteh na hring awh han.
For thus says the Lord to the house of Israel: Seek me and you will live.
5 Bethel kho hah tawng awh hanh. Gilgal kho dawk kâen awh hanh. Beersheba hai takhang awh hanh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, Gilgal kho teh, Bout na man awh han rah. Bethel kho hai ahawinae awm mahoeh.
But do not be willing to seek Bethel, and do not be willing to enter Gilgal, and you will not cross into Beer-sheba. For Gilgal will be led into captivity, and Bethel will be useless.
6 BAWIPA hah tawng awh. Na tawng pawiteh na hring awh han. Nahoeh pawiteh, Joseph miphun van e hmai patetlah a tâco vaiteh, Bethel e hmai teh kapadoutkung awm mahoeh.
Seek the Lord and live. Otherwise, the house of Joseph may be destroyed with fire, and it will devour, and there will be no one who can extinguish Bethel.
7 Ka lan lah lawkcengnae hah, kakhat e thingkung lah ka coung sak vaiteh, lannae hah talai dawk ka tâkhawng e naw,
You turn judgment into wormwood, and you abandon justice on earth.
8 Baritca hoi kangduetaphai hah ka sak e, Duenae tâhlip hah amom angnae lah kaawm sak hane, Kanîthun angnae hah hmo sak han e, tuipui kakaw niteh, talai dawk ka rabawk e, Jehovah tie a min bari kaawm e,
The Maker of Arcturus and Orion, who turns darkness into daybreak and who changes day into night; who calls forth the waters of the sea and who pours them out over the face of the earth: The Lord is his name.
9 A thakaawmpounge taminaw, imnaw, ka raphoe thai e hah tawng awh.
It is he who smiles destruction on the healthy, and who brings pillaging upon the powerful.
10 Kho longkha dawkvah lawk ka tâtueng thai e tami hah a hmuhma awh teh, lawkkatang ka dei e hah a panuet awh toe.
They held hatred for the one who corrects at the gate, and they have abhorred the one who speaks perfectly.
11 Nangmouh ni karoedengnaw na pacekpahlek awh teh, Catun phawng ouk na la awh dawkvah, na a awh e talung hoi im na sak ei teh, hote im dawk na awm mahoeh, Na ngai awh e misur takha hah, na ung awh ei misurtui na net awh mahoeh.
Therefore, on his behalf, because you have torn apart the poor and stolen choice prey from him: you will build houses with square stones and you will not dwell in them; you will plant the most delightful vineyards, and you will not drink wine from them.
12 Nangmouh ni patuenpatuen lawk eknae, na yon thaonae kai ni ka panue. Tami kalan hah runae na poe awh. Tadawngnae hah na ca awh. Karoedengnaw, takhang koe kânging hoeh lah lawk na ceng awh.
For I know your many wicked deeds and the strength of your sins, you enemies of the just, accepting bribes, and depriving the poor at the gate.
13 Hatdawkvah, atueng teh ka mathout poung e atueng lah ao. Tami a lungkaang e ni teh duem ao han.
Therefore, the prudent will be silent at that time, for it is an evil time.
14 Na hring thai awh nahanlah yonnae hah roun awh nateh, hawinae hah tawng awh. Hottelah na sak pawiteh, nangmouh ni na dei awh e patetlah Kalvan ransabawi, BAWIPA teh nangmouh hoi rei ao han.
Seek good and not evil, so that you may live. And the Lord God of hosts will be with you, just as you have asked.
15 Yonnae hmuhma awh nateh, hawinae hah lungpataw awh. Kho longkha koe kahman e hah awm sak awh. Rasahu BAWIPA Cathut ni, kacawie Joseph miphunnaw, A pahren hai a pahren yawkaw han doeh.
Hate evil and love good, and establish judgment at the gate. Perhaps then the Lord God of hosts may have mercy on the remnant of Joseph.
16 Ransahu Jehovah Cathut ni a dei e teh bangpueng dawkvah, khuikanae ao vaiteh, ka cet kaawmnaw ni aiyoe! aiyoe! telah ati awh han. Law ka sak e taminaw hah cingou hanelah thoseh, cingounae hah khuika hanelah thoseh a kaw awh han.
Therefore, thus says the Lord God of hosts, the Sovereign: In all the streets, there will be wailing. And in every place where they are outdoors, they will say, “Woe, woe!” And they will call the farmer to mourn, and those who know mourning to lamentation.
17 Misur takhanaw dawk hai a khui awh han. Bangkongtetpawiteh, kai teh nangmae alungui ka cei han telah BAWIPA ni ati.
And in all the vineyards there will be wailing. For I will cross through your midst, says the Lord.
18 BAWIPA e hnin ka rabui e taminaw teh, yawthoe e lah ao. Bang dawk maw nangmouh ni na rabui awh. BAWIPA e hnin teh nangmouh koe ang mahoeh. Hmonae lah ao awh han.
Woe to those who desire the day of the Lord. What is it to you? The day of the Lord is this: darkness and not light.
19 Tami ni sendek onae koehoi a yawng vaiteh, tavom hoi kâhmo e patetlah im dawk kâen vaiteh, tapang dawk a kut a toung eiteh tahrun ni a khue.
It is as if a man flees from the face of a lion, only to have a bear meet him; or, he enters a house and leans with his hand against the wall, only to have a snake bite him.
20 Bawipa e hnin teh ang laipalah a hmo han. Angnae roeroe awm mahoeh. Khoeroe a hmo han.
Will not the day of the Lord be darkness and not light, and gloom with no brightness in it?
21 Nangmae pawinaw hah, kai ni ka hmuhma, ka panuet. Na sak awh e hninnaw dawk hai kai ka nawm hoeh.
I hate and have rejected your feasts; and I will not accept the odor from your gatherings.
22 Hmaisawi thuengnae, tavai thuengnae hah na poe nakunghai kai ni ka coe hoeh. Roum thuengnae hai kai ni ka noutna mahoeh.
For if you offer me holocausts and your gifts, I will not receive them; and I will not look upon the vows of your fatness.
23 Nangmouh ni la na sak e lawk hai takhoe awh. Ratoung na tum e lawk hai ka thai mahoeh.
Take away from me the tumult of your songs, and I will not listen to the canticles of your lyre.
24 Ka lan lah lawkcengnae hah tui patetlah, lannae hah palang tui athakaawme patetlah lawng sak awh.
And judgment will be revealed like water, and justice like a mighty torrent.
25 Oe Isarel imthung nangmouh ni sathei hoi thuengnae hah kahrawngum vah kum 40 touh thung kai koe na sin boi awh namaw.
Was it you who offered victims and sacrifices to me in the desert for forty years, house of Israel?
26 Nangmae siangpahrang Sakkut hoi nangmae meikaphawk hoi âsi cathut na sak awh e hah na sin awh toe.
And you carried a tabernacle for your Moloch and the image of your idols: the star of your god, which you made for yourselves.
27 Hatdawkvah nangmouh teh Damaskas hloilah man sak hanlah kai ni ka rakueng han telah ransahu BAWIPA Cathut telah a min kaawm e ni a dei.
And I will cause you to go into captivity across Damascus, says the Lord. The God of hosts is his name.
