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.
Woe to those who are at ease in Zion, and to those who are secure on the mountain of Samaria, the notable men of the chief of the nations, to whom the house of Israel come!
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.
Go to Calneh, and see. From there go to Hamath the great. Then go down to Gath of the Philistines. Are they better than these kingdoms? Is their border greater than your border?
3 Ka mathout e hnin hah tahruet awh nateh, kahmanhoeh e lawkcangnae tungkhung teng ka hnai sak e,
Alas for you who put far away the evil day, and cause the seat of violence to come near,
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 lie on beds of ivory, and stretch themselves on their couches, and eat the lambs out of the flock, and the calves out of the middle of the stall,
5 ratoung kueng e kâtâ nalaihoi la ka sak e, tumkhawng katha hoi, Devit ni a sak e patetlah ka sak e,
who strum on the strings of a harp, who invent for themselves instruments of music, like David;
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 drink wine in bowls, and anoint themselves with the best oils, but they are not grieved for the affliction 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 they will now go captive with the first who go captive. The feasting and lounging will end.
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.
“The Lord Yahweh has sworn by himself,” says Yahweh, the God of Armies: “I abhor the pride of Jacob, and detest his fortresses. Therefore I will deliver up the city with all that is in it.
9 Im buet touh dawkvah tami hra touh kaawm nakunghai a due awh han.
It will happen that if ten men remain in one house, they will 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.
“When a man’s relative carries him, even he who burns him, to bring bodies out of the house, and asks him who is in the innermost parts of the house, ‘Is there yet any with you?’ And he says, ‘No;’ then he will say, ‘Hush! Indeed we must not mention Yahweh’s name.’
11 Bangkongtetpawiteh, BAWIPA Cathut e kâ lah ao dawkvah, impui hah raphoe vaiteh im kathounge hai kâbawng sak han.
“For, behold, Yahweh commands, and the great house will be smashed to pieces, and the little house into 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.
Do horses run on the rocky crags? Does one plow there with oxen? But you have turned justice into poison, and the fruit of righteousness into bitterness,
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 who rejoice in a thing of nothing, who say, ‘Haven’t we taken for ourselves horns by our own strength?’
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, I will raise up against you a nation, house of Israel,” says Yahweh, the God of Armies; “and they will afflict you from the entrance of Hamath to the brook of the Arabah.”
