< Amos 8 >

1 These things the Lord shewed to me: and behold a hook to draw down the fruit.
Hatchungnung Pakaiyin, hicheng hi, themgao thilmun keima eivetsah e. Hichu nipilaija theiga-min longkai khat dimset in akitung e.
2 And he said: What seest thou, Amos? And I said: A hook to draw down fruit. And the Lord said to me: The end is come upon my people Israel: I will not again pass by them any more.
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 hinges of the temple shall screak in that day, saith the Lord God: many shall die: silence shall be cast in every place.
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 Hear this, you that crush the poor, and make the needy of the land to fail,
Hichehi ngai uvin, nanghon vaichate nachom gam’un, chuleh tahlelte kengchot phan nanei uve.
5 Saying: When will the month be over, and we shall sell our wares: and the sabbath, and we shall open the corn: that we may lessen the measure, and increase the sicle, and may convey in deceitful balances,
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 That we may possess the needy for money, and the poor for a pair of shoes, and may sell the refuse of the corn?
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 hath sworn against the pride of Jacob: surely I will never forget 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 Shall not the land tremble for this, and every one mourn that dwelleth therein: and rise up altogether as a river, and be cast out, and run down as 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 shall come to pass in that day, saith the Lord God, that the sun shall go down at midday, and I will make the earth dark in the day of light:
“Hiche nikho chuleh, keiman sunlaiya nisa kalhumsah ding, chuleh sunchang laiya leiset chung mu ka thimsah ding ahi,” tin thanei pen Pakaiyin aseiye.
10 And I will turn your feasts into mourning, and all your songs into lamentation: and I will bring up sackcloth upon every back of yours, and baldness upon every head: and I will make it as the mourning of an only son, and the latter end thereof as 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 Behold the days come, saith the Lord, and I will send forth a famine into the land: not a famine of bread, nor a thirst of water, but of hearing the word 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 shall move from sea to sea, and from the north to the east: they shall go about seeking the word of the Lord, and shall not find 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 shall faint for thirst.
Hiche nikho chuleh, nungah melhoitah holeh golhang thahatlai hojong Pakai thu jahding ngaicha-a lhulham soh diu ahi.
14 They that swear by the sin of Samaria, and say: Thy God, O Dan, liveth: and the way of Bersabee liveth: and they shall fall, and shall rise no more.
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.
