< Amos 8 >

1 This is what the Lord God let me see: and I saw a basket of summer fruit.
Hatchungnung Pakaiyin, hicheng hi, themgao thilmun keima eivetsah e. Hichu nipilaija theiga-min longkai khat dimset in akitung e.
2 And he said, Amos, what do you see? And I said, A basket of summer fruit. Then the Lord said to me, The end has come to my people Israel; never again will my eyes be shut to their sin.
Hichun aman eidong in, “Amos ipi namu em?” eiti. Ken jong ka donbut in, “Longkai khat dimset nipilai theiga-min kamui’’ kati. Chuphat in Pakaiyin asei tai,’’ Hiche theiga-min namu bang’a hi, kami Israelte jong akichaina diu phat hunglhung ahitai. Keiman achunguva talen kamatsah ding hi, kakhongai tahlou ding ahi.
3 And the songs of the king's house will be cries of pain in that day, says the Lord God: great will be the number of the dead bodies, and everywhere they will put them out without a word.
Hiche nikho chuleh, houin’a la kisa hojong abon’a kana la sohgam ding, mithi tampi khopisung muntin’a thang jeng ding ahi. Hiche hi keima thaneipen Pakaiyin ka sei doh ahitai.
4 Give ear to this, you who are crushing the poor, and whose purpose is to put an end to those who are in need in the land,
Hichehi ngai uvin, nanghon vaichate nachom gam’un, chuleh tahlelte kengchot phan nanei uve.
5 Saying, When will the new moon be gone, so that we may do trade in grain? and the Sabbath, so that we may put out in the market the produce of our fields? making the measure small and the price great, and trading falsely with scales of deceit;
Nanghon, cholngah nikho hunglhun ding nangah lel un, houthua kut kibol nikho hojong kichaidoh loihen, natiuve. Ajeh chu, nanghon thil tena dihlou nasem’un, chang leh suhlou chang ho, aman val val in mi nachohsah uvin, thilcho leh thiljoh hojong jou leh nal in nalhemlha uvin ahi.
6 Getting the poor for silver, and him who is in need for the price of two shoes, and taking a price for the waste parts of the grain.
Nanghon, changsi tol’a kiseplha toh changtah nachoh hel’un, hichu najoh’un, chuteng vaicha leh tahlelte chu soh din dangka pehkhat pouvin na kichoh un, chuleh kengchot tokhat poutoh nalheh’un ahi.
7 The Lord has taken an oath by the pride of Jacob, Truly I will ever keep in mind all their works.
Tun, Pakai Israel Pathen chu, ama leh ama akihahsel in, “A itih’a jong, na thilse bolho kahaimil lou hel ding ahi.
8 Will not the land be shaking with fear because of this, and everyone in it have sorrow? and all of it will be overflowing like the River; and it will be troubled and go down again like the River of Egypt.
Hiche jeh’a chu, gamsung pumpi ling kihot banga killing ding, chuleh gamsung chu Nile vadung twi solai banga, hung kinuh sang ding chuleh kemsuh kitding ahi’’, ati.
9 And it will come about in that day, says the Lord God, that I will make the sun go down in the middle of the day, and I will make the earth dark in daylight:
“Hiche nikho chuleh, keiman sunlaiya nisa kalhumsah ding, chuleh sunchang laiya leiset chung mu ka thimsah ding ahi,” tin thanei pen Pakaiyin aseiye.
10 Your feasts will be turned into sorrow and all your melody into songs of grief; everyone will be clothed with haircloth, and the hair of every head will be cut; I will make the weeping like that for an only son, and the end of it like a bitter day.
Chuleh, golvah kut nabol jouseu kaleh maona-a ka heidoh peh ding, la nasah jouseu jong kala-a ka heidoh peh ding nahiuve. Nanghon, thi-op pon nakisil uva, lunghem jeh’a amitakip nalu nahotol diu, Nachapa khatseh na neisun thijeh’a lunghem bang’a kalha diu, Hiche nikho chu iti lainat um hitam!’’tin Pakaiyin aseiye.
11 See, the days are coming, says the Lord God, when I will send times of great need on the land, not need of food or desire for water, but for hearing the words of the Lord.
Hatchungnung Pakaiyin aseijin, ‘’Hiche nikho chu ahung lhung’e. Keiman gamsung kel ka lhahsah ding, an leh twi ngaichatna kel hilou ding, amavang, Pakai thusei jah ding ngaichatna kel hiding ahi.
12 And they will go wandering from sea to sea, and from the north even to the east, running here and there in search of the word of the Lord, and they will not get it.
Miho, twikhanglen khat’a kon’a adang khat’a kitol leuva, chuleh gamkhat’a kon’a gamdang khat’a chediu, Pakai thusei jah ding holna-a, lhaito jeng jung diu. Ahivanga, amahon ahol’u chu amu louhel diu ahi.
13 In that day the fair virgins and the young men will be feeble from need of water.
Hiche nikho chuleh, nungah melhoitah holeh golhang thahatlai hojong Pakai thu jahding ngaicha-a lhulham soh diu ahi.
14 Those who make their oaths by the sin of Samaria and say, By the life of your God, O Dan; and, By the living way of Beer-sheba; even they will go down, never again to be lifted up.
Chuleh Samaria khopia jumlehja um doi ho’a kihahsel’a, Dan pathen min’a kihahselho, chuleh Beersheba pathen min’a kitepna bol ho, abonchauva kipallhu gan hel diu, a itih’a, thoukit talou hel diu ahi,’’ ati.
