< Amos 3 >

1 Hear the word that the Lord hath spoken concerning you, O ye children of Israel: concerning the whole family that I brought up out of the land of Egypt, saying:
Oe Isarel miphunnaw Izip ram hoi kai ni na tâcokhai e miphun abuemlah nangmanaw hah, kai BAWIPA ni ka dei e lawk hah thai awh haw.
2 You only have I known of all the families of the earth: therefore will I visit upon you all your iniquities.
Talai van dawk kaawm e miphun abuemlah dawk hoi ka panue e nangmouh miphun buet touh dueng hah kai ni na coe dawkvah, nangmae yon kaawm e pueng hah, kai ni lawkkaceng han.
3 Shall two walk together except they be agreed?
Tami ka hni touh ni lungkangingnae awm laipalah cungtalah kahlawng cei thai han maw.
4 Will a lion roar in the forest, if he have no prey? will the lion’s whelp cry out of his den, if he have taken nothing?
Sendek ni kei hoehpawiteh, ratu thung vah a huk han namaw. Sendek ni banghai kei hoehpawiteh, a kâkhu dawk hoi a cairing han namaw.
5 Will the bird fall into the snare upon the earth, if there be no fowler? Shall the snare be taken up from the earth, before it hath taken somewhat?
Talai dawk tangkam patung hoehpawiteh, tava hah kâman han namaw. Patung e tangkam dawkvah, banghai na hmu hoeh roukrak na patung e hah na lo han namaw.
6 Shall the trumpet sound in a city, and the people not be afraid? Shall there be evil in a city, which the Lord hath not done?
Kho thung dawk mongka tum pawiteh kho thung taminaw ni taket laipalah awm mahoeh namaw. BAWIPA ni a sak e laipalah rucatnae buetbuet touh kho thung vah a pha han namaw.
7 For the Lord God doth nothing without revealing his secret to his servants the prophets.
Atangcalah, Bawipa Jehovah ni amae a san Profetnaw koe pâpho laipalah, bangpatet e hno hai sak hoeh.
8 The lion shall roar, who will not fear? The Lord God hath spoken, who shall not prophesy?
Sendek a huk torei teh, apihai taket laipalah awm mahoeh. Bawipa Jehovah ni lawk dei hoehpawiteh, apinimaw a pâpho thai han.
9 Publish it in the houses of Azotus, and in the houses of the land of Egypt, and say: Assemble yourselves upon the mountains of Samaria, and behold the many follies in the midst thereof, and them that suffer oppression in the inner rooms thereof.
Ashdod kho imnaw hoi Izip ram imnaw koe kamthang a dei hane teh, Samaria mon dawkvah a kamkhueng teh, Samaria kho thung dawkvah, ruengruengtinae kho thung dawk pacekpahleknae ka khang e naw, khenhaw.
10 And they have not known to do the right thing, saith the Lord, storing up iniquity, and robberies in their houses.
Khothung e taminaw teh, kahawi e phung hah panuek hoeh. Thama lah a lawp e hnonaw hah im kahawinaw dawk a pâtung awh telah BAWIPA Cathut ni ati.
11 Therefore thus saith the Lord God: The land shall be in tribulation, and shall be compassed about: and thy strength shall be taken away from thee, and thy houses shall be spoiled.
Hatdawkvah, Bawipa Jehovah ni ati e teh, tarannaw ni Samaria ram hah a ven awh vaiteh, nange taran hawinae a pabo vaiteh, im kahawinaw hah a raphoe awh han.
12 Thus saith the Lord: As if a shepherd should get out of the lion’s mouth two legs, or the tip of the ear: so shall the children of Israel be taken out that dwell in Samaria, in a piece of a bed, and in the couch of Damascus.
BAWIPA ni a dei e teh, tu ka khoum ni sendek e pahni dawk e khok kahni, nahoeh pawiteh, a hna tangawn hah, a rasa pouh e patetlah Samaria kho e ikhun, dawk ka ip e, Damaskas kho hni phai van ka tahung e Isarel miphunnaw hah, rasa awh han rah.
13 Hear ye, and testify in the house of Jacob, saith the Lord the God of hosts:
Ransahu Bawipa Jehovah ni a dei e lawk teh, thai awh nateh Jakop e miphunnaw koe patuen na dei pouh hane teh,
14 That in the day when I shall begin to visit the transgressions of Israel, I will visit upon him, and upon the altars of Bethel: and the horns of the altars shall be cut off, and shall fall to the ground.
Atangcalah, Isarel miphunnaw e a yonnaw hah lawkcengnae hnin dawk, Bethel thuengnae hah kai ni lawk ka ceng vaiteh, thuengnae a kinaw hah, ka raboung vaiteh talai dawk a bo han.
15 And I will strike the winter house with the summer house: and the houses of ivory shall perish, and many houses shall be destroyed, saith the Lord.
Kasik imnaw hoi kawmpoi imnaw hah, kai ni ka raphoe vaiteh, kasaino hoi sak e imnaw hai koung a rawk han. Im kahawinaw hai apout han telah BAWIPA ni atipouh.
