Amos 8
1 These things the Lord shewed to me: and behold a hook to draw down the fruit.
Hahoi Bawipa Jehovah ni kai na patue e teh, khenhaw! kawmpoi paw tangthung buet touh ka hmu.
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.
Amos nang ni, bang e hno maw na hmu telah na pacei teh, kawmpoi paw tangthung buet touh ka hmu ka ti pouh navah, BAWIPA ni a hnukteng e tueng teh, ka tami Isarelnaw koe a pha toe. Atuhoi teh, ahnimanaw hah nâtuek hai ka pahlout mahoeh toe.
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.
Hatnae tueng nah, bawkimnaw hah a khui awh han. Hmuen tangkuem dawk tami ronaw awm vaiteh, arulahoi a tâkhawng awh han telah Bawipa Jehovah ni a ti.
4 Hear this, you that crush the poor, and make the needy of the land to fail,
Maimouh ni cakang yo hanelah, thaparei hnin loum lawiseh, satun yo hanelah, sabbath hnin loum lawiseh teh awh vaiteh,
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,
Ephah hah thoung sak hanelah, shekel hah len sak hanelah, sak awh vaiteh, kahmanhoeh e yawcu hah hno awh vaiteh, karoedengnaw hah tangka hoi, a vonkahlamnaw hah, khokkhawm hoi ran awh vaiteh, satun hah a yo awh han.
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?
A vonkahlamnaw hah, hnephnap vaiteh, ka roedeng e ramnaw hah, raphoe hanelah kangainaw, hete lawk hah thai awh haw.
7 The Lord hath sworn against the pride of Jacob: surely I will never forget all their works.
Bawipa Jehovah ni Jakop e a lentoenae thoebo teh, ahnimae tawksak e naw pueng nâtuek hai kai ni ka pahnim hoeh.
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?
Hote kong dawk ram kâhuen vaiteh taminaw pueng ni, lungpuen mahoeh maw. Nai palang patetlah ram pueng thaw awh vaiteh, Izip ram e palang ni a muem e patetlah pâyawt vaiteh muem awh mahoeh maw.
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:
BAWIPA Cathut ni a dei e teh, hatnae tueng dawk teh, kanîthun e tueng nah, kai ni kanî ka loum sak han. Talai hah ka hmo sak han.
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.
Nangmae pawi na to e hah, lungmathoenae lah ka o sak han. La na sak awh e naw hah, khuikanae lah ka o sak han. Tami pueng ni buri khohna hoi keng dawk kâyeng sak hanelah, sam hah a ngaw nahanelah, kai ni ka sak han. Ca tawntoe e a due dawk khuika e patetlah, a poutnae koe, kakhat poung e hnin patetlah kacoungsak han telah a ti.
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.
Bawipa Jehovah ni a dei e teh, takangnae hah ram pueng dawk kathosak han. Canei takang nahoeh, tui takang hai nahoeh. Cathut e lawk thainae takang doeh.
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.
Taminaw ni BAWIPA lawk a tawng awh han. Tui pui buet touh koehoi tuipui buet touh totouh, atunglah, akalah, kanîtho, kanîloum a yawng awh nakunghai, hmawt awh mahoeh.
13 In that day the fair virgins, and the young men shall faint for thirst.
Hatnae tueng dawk a meikahawi poung e tanglakacuemnaw hoi thoundounnaw ni tui kahran hoi a patang awh han.
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.
Samaria cathut hoi thoekâbo e tami, Dan cathut hoi thoekâbo e tami, Beersheba cathut min lahoi ka tet e naw haiyah koung a rawp awh vaiteh, nâtuek hai thaw thai awh mahoeh toe.
