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.
Terrible things will happen to you people in Jerusalem who are not worried about anything, and also to you leaders who live on Samaria Hill who think that you are safe. [You think that] [IRO] you are the most important people [in the world], people to whom Israeli people [MTY] go [to get help].
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.
But go to Calneh [city] and see [what happened there]. Then go to [see] the great [city] Hamath [and see what happened there]. Then go down to Gath [city] in Philistia [and see what happened to their city walls]. Your land/country is certainly not [RHQ] larger or more powerful than their countries were, [but they were all destroyed].
3 Ka mathout e hnin hah tahruet awh nateh, kahmanhoeh e lawkcangnae tungkhung teng ka hnai sak e,
You are trying to not think about a day when you will experience disasters, when [your enemies will come and] violently attack you.
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,
You lie on beds [decorated with expensive] ivory, and on [soft] couches. You eat [the tender meat of] lambs and fat calves.
5 ratoung kueng e kâtâ nalaihoi la ka sak e, tumkhawng katha hoi, Devit ni a sak e patetlah ka sak e,
You create/compose new songs and play them on your harps like [King] David did.
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,
You drink entire bowlfuls of wine and you put expensive oils/perfumes on your bodies, but you do not grieve about [your country of] Israel [MTY], which is about to be destroyed.
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.
Your feasting and lounging [on soft couches] will soon end, and you will be among the first ones to be forced [by your enemies] to go (into exile/to another country).
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.
Yahweh the Lord has solemnly declared this: “I hate the people of Israel because they are very proud; I detest their fortresses. I will enable [their enemies] to capture their [capital] city and everything in it.”
9 Im buet touh dawkvah tami hra touh kaawm nakunghai a due awh han.
[When that happens, ] if there are ten people in one house, they will all 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.
If a relative who (has the task of/is responsible for) burning their corpses comes to the house and inquires of anyone who is still hiding there, “Is there anyone here with you?”, and that person replies “No,” [the one who inquired] will say, “Be quiet! We must not mention the name of Yahweh, [lest he cause us also to be killed]!”
11 Bangkongtetpawiteh, BAWIPA Cathut e kâ lah ao dawkvah, impui hah raphoe vaiteh im kathounge hai kâbawng sak han.
[Terrible things like that will happen] because Yahweh has commanded that large houses [in Israel] must be smashed into pieces, and small houses must be smashed into tiny bits.
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.
Horses certainly do not [RHQ] run on big rocks, and certainly people do not [RHQ] plow the sea with oxen. But you have [done things that no one should do]: You have distorted what is fair/right and caused it to be considered like poison [MET]; you have changed what is right and consider it to be like things that are bitter.
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.
You are proud because you have captured Lo-Debar [town], and you have said, “We captured Karnaim by our own power!”
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.
But the Commander of the armies of angels declares, “I will cause another nation to attack you people [MTY] of Israel; they will (oppress you/cause you to suffer) all the way from Hamath Pass [in the northwest] to the Dead Sea [in the southeast].”
