< Amos 4 >

1 Hear this word, you cows of Bashan on Mount Samaria, you women who oppress the poor and crush the needy, who say to your husbands, “Bring us more to drink.”
Karoedengnaw ka rektap e, kahaikahlam kaawmnaw ka pacekpahlek e, amae bawinaw hah canei hane na poe haw ati awh teh, Samaria mon dawk kaawm e Bashan maitonaw, hete lawk he thai awh haw.
2 The Lord GOD has sworn by His holiness: “Behold, the days are coming when you will be taken away with hooks, and your posterity with fishhooks.
Bawipa Jehovah ni amae thoungnae hoi thoe a bo e patetlah nangmanaw hah hradang hoi thoseh, nangmae ca catounnaw hah tamlawk hoi thoseh mannae tueng a pha han.
3 You will go out through broken walls, each one straight ahead of her, and you will be cast out toward Harmon,”
Namamouh ni na hmu awh e a kâko dawk hoi lengkaleng na tâco awh vaiteh, Hermon thungvah na kâ tâkhawng awh han telah BAWIPA ni ati.
4 “Go to Bethel and transgress; rebel even more at Gilgal! Bring your sacrifices every morning, your tithes every three days.
Bethel kho dawk cet nateh, yon awh haw. Gilgal kho dawk cet nateh kâtapoenae pung sak haw. Amom tangkuem thuengnae sathei hnin thum touh dawk vai touh, pung hra pung touh e hah sin awh.
5 Offer leavened bread as a thank offering, and loudly proclaim your freewill offerings. For that is what you children of Israel love to do,”
Na lawp awh e hno thung dawk hoi lunghawilawkdeinae thueng awh. Lungthocalah hoi thuengnae hah pathang sak awh. Oe Isarelnaw, hottelah na sak navah, nangmouh ni na nawm awh han telah Bawipa Jehovah ni ati.
6 “I beset all your cities with cleanness of teeth and all your towns with lack of bread, yet you did not return to Me,”
Kai ni nangmae kho tangkuem dawk, nangmouh na onae hmuen tangkuem dawk, takang ka tho sak nahai thoseh, nangmouh ni kai koe bout tho han na ngai awh hoeh telah BAWIPA ni ati.
7 “I also withheld the rain from you when the harvest was three months away. I sent rain on one city but withheld it from another. One field received rain; another without rain withered.
Canga tue a pha hoehnahlan, thapa yung thum lathueng lah, kho a rak hoeh nahanlah, kho teh kai ni ka ngang toe. Kho buet touh dawk rak sak han thoseh, kho buet touh dawk a rak hoeh nahane thoseh ka sak han. Law buet touh ni kho tui a hmu vaiteh, alouke law ni teh hmawt mahoeh ka ke lah ao han.
8 People staggered from city to city for water to drink, but they were not satisfied; yet you did not return to Me,”
Hottelah kho thung dawk hoi kho thung e naw ni tui nei hanelah kho buet touh dawk a cei nakunghai boum awh mahoeh. Hatei nangmouh ni kai koe ban hane na ngai awh hoeh telah BAWIPA ni ati.
9 “I struck you with blight and mildew in your growing gardens and vineyards; the locust devoured your fig and olive trees, yet you did not return to Me,”
Kahlî ni akungnaw a due sak. A ke sak teh atui lah a lawng sak teh, duenae hoi kai ni ka rek toe. Nangmouh koe laikawk, misur takha, thaibunglungkungnaw, olivekungnaw, hah samtongnaw ni a ca awh toe. Hatei kai koe na ban awh hoeh telah BAWIPA ni ati.
10 “I sent plagues among you like those of Egypt; I killed your young men with the sword, along with your captured horses. I filled your nostrils with the stench of your camp, yet you did not return to Me,”
Izip ram na kâhmo e lacik hah nangmouh na onae koe ka tha toe. Thoundounnaw hah tahloi hoi ka thei sak toe. Marangnaw hah ka man sak toe. Nangmouh na onae rim dawk kapawk e hmui hah na hnong dawk ka kâen sak toe. Hatei kai koe na ban awh hoeh telah BAWIPA ni ati.
11 “Some of you I overthrew as I overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah, and you were like a firebrand snatched from a blaze, yet you did not return to Me,”
Cathut ni Sodom kho hoi Gomorrah kho a tâkhawng e patetlah nangmouh tangawn kai ni na tâkhawng vaiteh, hmai dawk hoi rayu e thingtu patetlah na o awh toe. Hatei kai koe bout ban hane na ngai awh hoeh telah BAWIPA ni ati.
12 “Therefore, that is what I will do to you, O Israel, and since I will do this to you, prepare to meet your God, O Israel!
Hatdawkvah, oe Isarelnaw, a lathueng lah ka sak e patetlah nangmouh koe ka sak han rah. Hottelah ka sak han dawkvah, Oe Isarelnaw, namamae Cathut hoi kâhmo hanelah, kârakueng awh.
13 For behold, He who forms the mountains, who creates the wind and reveals His thoughts to man, who turns the dawn to darkness and strides on the heights of the earth— the LORD, the God of Hosts, is His name.”
Khenhaw. Monnaw ka sak niteh, kahlî ka sak e, tami ni pouk e naw ka panuek sak e, amom angnae hah ka hmawt sak e, talai arasangnae hmuen hah ka coungroe e a min teh Jehovah Cathut doeh.
