Amos 6
1 Zion kho dawk karoumcalah kaawm e, Samaria min kâuepnaw hoi miphun thung dawk a lathueng poung telah kaw e, Isarel imthung dawk kâhnai lah kaawm e taminaw teh, a yaw ka thout e lah ao.
Alas for the careless in Zion, and for them who put confidence in the mountain of Samaria, —the distinguished among the first group of nations, to whom came in the house of Israel.
2 Kalneh kho lah cet nateh khenhaw. Hote kho dawk hoi Hamath kho lah, Filistinnaw a onae Gath kho koe lah cet awh. Hotnaw teh, hete uknaeramnaw hlak hoe ahawi maw. Ahnimouh a onae teh, nangmouh na onae hlak hoe akaw maw.
Pass ye over to Calneh, and see, and go on from thence to Hamath the great, —and go down to Gath of the Philistines, are they better than these kingdoms? or their boundary larger than your boundary?
3 Ka mathout e hnin hah tahruet awh nateh, kahmanhoeh e lawkcangnae tungkhung teng ka hnai sak e,
Ye who are putting far away the day of calamity, —but bringing near the abode of violence:
4 kasaino ikhun dawk ka ip e, tungkhungkasaw dawk ka yan e, tucahu dawk hoi tucanaw, maito e dokko dawk hoi maitocanaw a la teh ka cat e,
Who are lying on beds of ivory, and sprawling on their couch of pleasure, —and eating the well-fed of the flock, and the fatted calves out of the midst of the stalls:
5 ratoung kueng e kâtâ nalaihoi la ka sak e, tumkhawng katha hoi, Devit ni a sak e patetlah ka sak e,
Who are bawling at the bidding of the harp, —like David, have they invented for themselves instruments of song:
6 misurtui hah manang dawk hoi a nei awh teh, aphu patawpoung e hmuitui a kâhluk awh teh, Joseph e roedeng khangnae dawk a lung ka mathout hoeh e naw,
Who are quaffing bowls of wine, and, with the best of oils, anointing themselves, —and are not afflicted for the injury of Joseph: —
7 ahnimanaw teh, hmaloe man e a khang e naw hoi cungtalah a cei awh han. Yon na laihoi kaawmnaw, ahnimae pawinaw hai kahma han.
Therefore, at once, shall they go into exile among the first of the exiles, —so shall be disturbed the revelry of sprawlers.
8 Bawipa Jehovah ni a dei e teh Cathut teh amahoima thoekâbo e patetlah Jakop e kârasangnae hah ka panuet teh, ahnie im hah ka hmuhma teh, khopui hoi kho thung kaawm e pueng hah kai ni ka pahnawt han.
Sworn hath the Lord, Yahweh, by his own life, Declareth Yahweh, God of hosts, abhorring am I, the grandeur of Jacob, and, his palaces, I hate, —therefore will I cast off the city and the fulness thereof.
9 Im buet touh dawkvah tami hra touh kaawm nakunghai a due awh han.
And it shall come to pass, though there be left remaining ten men in one house, yet shall they die;
10 Imthungkhu lah kaawm e, hmai hoi pâeng lah kaawm e teh, im dawk hoi a ro hah rasa vaiteh, ceikhai torei teh, im dawk kaawm e tami hah kaw vaiteh, nang koe buetbuet touh bang kaawm e ao rah na ou, awm hoeh telah bout ati han. Ka hrawm e tami hai duem awm. BAWIPA e min teh dei hane kâ awm hoeh telah ati awh han.
And a man’s near of kin, even he who is about to burn the bones, shall carry him out of the house, when he shall say to him that is in the hinder parts of the house—Are there yet any with thee? and he shall say—No one. Then shall he say—Hush! for we must not invoke the name of Yahweh.
11 Bangkongtetpawiteh, BAWIPA Cathut e kâ lah ao dawkvah, impui hah raphoe vaiteh im kathounge hai kâbawng sak han.
For lo! Yahweh, is giving command, and will smite the great house into ruins, —and the little house with clefts.
12 Marang teh lungphen van a yawng thai maw. Tami ni talung dawkvah maito hoi kanawk panuek han maw. Nangmouh ni kalan lah lawkcengnae hah duenae sue patetlah lannae a paw hah kakhat poung e thingkung lah na coung sak awh toe.
Shall horses run upon crag? or will a man plough [there] with oxen? For ye have turned to poison the sentence of justice, and the fruit of righteousness, to wormwood:
13 Banglahai kaawm hoeh e dawk kâoup teh, na lung ahawi awh, maimouh teh mae thaonae hoi nahoehmaw kâ tawn awh toe telah ouk dei awh nahoehmaw.
Who rejoice in a thing of nought, —who say, Have we not by our own strength, taken to ourselves horns?
14 Atangcalah, Oe Isarel imthungnaw, nangmouh koe lah miphun buet touh ka thaw sak vaiteh, hote miphun ni Hamath kho lam dawk hoi kamtawng vaiteh kahrawng dawk kaawm e palang totouh, nangmouh teh na pacekpahlek awh han telah ransahu BAWIPA Cathut ni ati.
For behold me! raising up against you, O house of Israel, Declareth Yahweh, the God of hosts—a nation! And they shall crush you, from the entering in of Hamath, unto the torrent-bed of the waste plain.
