< Amos 2 >

1 This is what the LORD says: “For three transgressions of Moab, even four, I will not revoke My judgment, because he burned to lime the bones of Edom’s king.
Hahoi BAWIPA ni a dei e teh, Moab ram ni Edom siangpahrang e a hrunaw hah hraba lah ao nahane hmai hoi pâeng e yon kathum touh dueng laipalah, yon pali touh dawkvah reknae na khang laipalah na awm mahoeh.
2 So I will send fire against Moab to consume the citadels of Kerioth. Moab will die in tumult, amid war cries and the sound of the ram’s horn.
Moab ram dawk hmai ka tha vaiteh, Kerioth kho e im kahawinaw hah ka kak sak han. Kacaipounge pawlawk, hramkinae, mongka uengnae hoiyah Moab ram teh a due awh han.
3 I will cut off the ruler of Moab and kill all the officials with him,”
Moab ram a lungui vah, khobawinaw hah, kai ni ka takhoe vaiteh, ahni hoi bawinaw abuemlah ka thei han telah BAWIPA ni a ti.
4 This is what the LORD says: “For three transgressions of Judah, even four, I will not revoke My judgment, because they reject the Law of the LORD and fail to keep His statutes; they are led astray by the lies in which their fathers walked.
Judah lawkkamnae dawk Bawipa ni a dei e teh, Judahnaw BAWIPA e phunglamnaw hah tarawi hoeh. Kâlawknaw hah a pahnawt awh teh, mintoenaw ni a bawk awh e cathutkaphawk hoi payon e yon kathum touh dueng laipalah yon pali touh dawkvah reknae na khang laipalah na awm mahoeh.
5 So I will send fire upon Judah to consume the citadels of Jerusalem.”
Judah ram dawk hmai ka tha vaiteh Jerusalem kho imnaw hah ka kak sak han.
6 This is what the LORD says: “For three transgressions of Israel, even four, I will not revoke My judgment, because they sell the righteous for silver and the needy for a pair of sandals.
Hahoi BAWIPA ni a dei e teh, Isarel miphun ni tamikalan e hah tangka hoi hai, karoedengnaw hah, khokkhawm buet touh hoi hai, a yonae yon,
7 They trample on the heads of the poor as on the dust of the earth; they push the needy out of their way. A man and his father have relations with the same girl and so profane My holy name.
Karoedengnaw, e lû hah, vaiphu hoi muen kayo hanelah, ngainae a lenpoung teh, ka rahnoum e tami hah, kamsoumhoehe lawkcengnae yon, kaie ka min hah khin sak hanelah, a na pa hoi a ca ni buet touh dueng e napui hah, rei okhainae yon,
8 They lie down beside every altar on garments taken in pledge. And in the house of their God, they drink wine obtained through fines.
khohna e cawngca pueng, sathei thuengnae ateng vah a phai awh teh a i awh e yon, a yonnae tangka hoi a ran e misurtui hah Cathut e im dawkvah, a nei e yon kathum touh dueng laipalah, yon pali touh dawkvah, reknae na khang laipalah na awm mahoeh.
9 Yet it was I who destroyed the Amorite before them, though his height was like that of the cedars, and he was as strong as the oaks. Yet I destroyed his fruit above and his roots below.
Sidar thing hoi kâvan lah arasang teh kathenkungnaw patetlah ka khaw e Amor miphunnaw teh nangmae hmalah, kai ni ka takhoe vaiteh, a lathueng lah ahnie a paw hai thoseh, a rahim lah ahnie a tangpha hai thoseh, kai ni ka raphoe toe.
10 And I brought you up from the land of Egypt and led you forty years in the wilderness, that you might take possession of the land of the Amorite.
Nangmouh naw hah Izip ram hoi na rasa teh, Amor ram hah pang sak hanelah, kum 40 touh thung kahrawngum vah na hrawi awh.
11 I raised up prophets from your sons and Nazirites from your young men. Is this not true, O children of Israel?”
Nangmae ca tangawn hah, Profet lah, thoundounnaw hah, Nazirite tami lah, kai ni ka hmoun toe. Oe Isarel miphunnaw, hete lawk kamsoum hoeh maw, telah BAWIPA ni a pacei.
12 “But you made the Nazirites drink wine and commanded the prophets not to prophesy.
Nangmouh niteh, Nazirite taminaw ni nei hanlah, misurtui na poe toe. Profetnaw hai profet a tawk teh, dei hanh awh telah na cakâ awh.
13 Behold, I am about to crush you in your place as with a cart full of grain.
Khenhaw, leng teh kakawi lah rasoup e cabong ni a ratet e patetlah nangmouh na onae hmuen hah kai ni ka ratet han.
14 Escape will fail the swift, the strong will not prevail by his strength, and the mighty will not save his life.
Ka yawng thai poung e tami ni, yawng thainae kâhmawt hoeh. Athakaawme tami ni amahoima kârungngang thainae kâ awm mahoeh. A taran kahawi ni ama hai kârungngang mahoeh.
15 The archer will not stand his ground, the fleet of foot will not escape, and the horseman will not save his life.
Licung ka patuem e tami ni kangdout mahoeh. Ka yawng thai poung e ransa ni amahoima rungngang mahoeh. Marang kâcuie ni hai amahoima rungngang mahoeh.
16 Even the bravest of mighty men will flee naked on that day,”
A lungkatang ni teh athakaawme ni hat nah hnin vah, caici lahoi a yawng awh han telah, BAWIPA ni a dei.
