Amos 5
1 Heare ye this worde, which I lift vp vpon you, euen a lamentation of the house of Israel.
Aw Israel imthung takoh, nangcae qahhaih lok hoi misa haih lok hae tahngai oh:
2 The virgine Israel is fallen, and shall no more rise: shee is left vpon her lande, and there is none to raise her vp.
nongpata kacuem Israel loe amtim boeh, anih loe natuek naah doeh angthawk let mak ai boeh. Anih loe prae thungah pahnawt sut ah oh boeh moe, anih pathawk han kami maeto doeh om ai.
3 For thus saith ye Lord God, The citie which went out by a thousand, shall leaue an hundreth: and that which went forth by an hundreth, shall leaue ten to the house of Israel.
Angraeng Sithaw mah, Vangpui hoiah kami sangto caeh o naah, kami cumvaito ni anghmat tih; Israel imthung takoh cumvaito caeh o naah, kami hato ni anghmat tih, tiah thuih.
4 For thus saith the Lord vnto the house of Israel, Seeke ye me, and ye shall liue.
Israel imthung takoh khaeah Angraeng mah hae tiah thuih; kai hae pakrong ah loe, hing oh;
5 But seeke not Beth-el, nor enter into Gilgal, and go not to Beer-sheba: for Gilgal shall goe into captiuitie, and Beth-el shall come to nought.
Bethel to pakrong o hmah, Gilgal thungah akun o hmah, Beersheba ah caeh o hmah, Gilgal loe tamna ah om ueloe, Bethel loe atho tidoeh om mak ai boeh.
6 Seeke the Lord, and yee shall liue, least he breake out like fire in the house of Ioseph and deuoure it, and there be none to quench it in Beth-el.
Angraeng to pakrong oh loe, hing oh, to tih ai nahaeloe Joseph ih imthung to hmai baktiah kangh ueloe, amro ving tih, Bethel ah hmai paduek han kami maeto doeh om mak ai.
7 They turne iudgement to wormewood, and leaue off righteousnes in the earth.
Toenghaih to sethaih bangah paqoi ving moe, toenghaih to long ah va ving nangcae,
8 He maketh Pleiades, and Orion, and he turneth the shadowe of death into the morning, and he maketh the day darke as night: he calleth the waters of the sea, and powreth them out vpon the open earth: the Lord is his Name.
cakaeh sarihto hoi Orion sahkung, duekhaih tahlip to khodai ah paqoi moe, khodai to khoving ah sahkung to pakrong oh; tuipui tuinawk to palawk moe, long ah kraikung ih ahmin loe Angraeng, tiah oh.
9 He strengtheneth the destroyer against the mightie: and the destroyer shall come against the fortresse.
Thacak kami amrosakkung hoi misa pakaahaih kaom vangpui amrosak thaih Sithaw to pakrong oh.
10 They haue hated him, that rebuked in the gate: and they abhorred him that speaketh vprightly.
Lokcaekhaih ahmuen ih thuitaekhaih to na hnukma o moe, loktang thui kami to na panuet o.
11 Forasmuch then as your treading is vpon the poore, and yee take from him burdens of wheate, ye haue built houses of hewen stone, but ye shall not dwel in them: ye haue plated pleasant vineyards, but ye shall not drinke wine of them.
Amtang kami to na hnap o, anih ih cang to na lomh pae o moe, thlung im to na sak o, toe to im thungah na om o mak ai; misur takha thungah misurkung to na thling o, toe misurtui na nae o mak ai.
12 For I know your manifold transgressions, and your mightie sinnes: they afflict the iust, they take rewards, and they oppresse the poore in ye gate.
Pop parai na sakpazaehaih hoi kalen parai na zaehaih to ka panoek; katoeng kaminawk to na pacaekthlaek o moe, bokhaih phoisa to na lak o; lokcaekhaih ahmuen ah amtang kaminawk to toenghaih thung hoiah nam khraeng o sak.
13 Therefore the prudent shall keepe silence in that time, for it is an euill time.
Kasae tue ah oh pongah, to atue ah palungha kaminawk loe om o duem tih.
14 Seeke good and not euil, that ye may liue: and the Lord God of hostes shalbe with you, as you haue spoken.
Na hing thai hanah, kasae to pakrong hmah, kahoih to pakrong ah; na thuih o ih baktih toengah, misatuh kaminawk ih Angraeng Sithaw loe nangcae khaeah om tih.
15 Hate the euil, and loue the good, and establish iudgement in the gate: it may bee that the Lord God of hostes will be mercifull vnto the remnant of Ioseph.
Kasae to hnuma ah loe, kahoih to palung ah; lokthuihaih khongkha thungah kamsoem lok to thui poe ah, to tih nahaeloe misatuh kaminawk ih Angraeng Sithaw mah kanghmat Joseph kaminawk nuiah tahmenhaih tawn khoe doeh om tih.
16 Therfore the Lord God of hosts, the Lord saith thus, Mourning shalbe in all streetes: and they shall say in al the hie wayes, Alas, alas: and they shall call the husbandman to lamentation, and such as can mourne, to mourning.
To pongah misatuh kaminawk ih Angraeng Sithaw, Angraeng mah hae tiah thuih; Loklam kruekah qahhaih to om ueloe, lamkrungnawk boih ah, Ala! Ala! tiah palungnathaih hoi hanghaih to om tih. Qah hanah lawk phrawk kami to kawk o ueloe, qah hanah qah thaih kaminawk to pacae o tih.
17 And in al the vines shalbe lamentation: for I wil passe through thee, saith the Lord.
Nangcae salakah ka caeh pongah, misur takha ohhaih ahmuen boih ah qahhaih to om tih, tiah Angraeng mah thuih.
18 Woe vnto you, that desire the day of the Lord: what haue you to do with it? the day of the Lord is darkenes and not light.
Angraeng ih ani koeh kami loe khosak bing! Tih hanah Angraeng ih ani to na koeh o? To ani loe ving tih, aanghaih to om mak ai.
19 As if a man did flee from a lyon, and a beare met him: or went into the house, and leaned his hand on the wall, and a serpent bit him.
Kami maeto mah kaipui to cawnhtaak, toe taqom maeto a tongh, to tih ai boeh loe angmah ih im ah a caeh moe, tapang nuiah ban a koeng naah, pahui mah patuk pae baktiah ni om tih.
20 Shal not the day of the Lord be darkenes, and not light? euen darkenes and no light in it?
Angraeng ih ani loe ving tih, aang mak ai; aanghaih kaom ai, kaving parai ani ah na ai maw oh?
21 I hate and abhorre your feast dayes, and I wil not smelll in your solemne assemblies.
Nangcae poihsakhaih ninawk to ka hnukma, ka patoek, nangcae bokhaih hoi nam khueng o haih ahmuen ah ka thum thai mak ai.
22 Though ye offer me burnt offrings and meat offrings, I wil not accept them: neither will I regard the peace offrings of your fat beasts.
Nangcae mah kai khaeah hmai angbawnhaih hoi cang paekhaih to nang sin o, toe ka talawk mak ai, angdaeh angbawnhaih ah kathawk moi nang sin o cadoeh, ka la mak ai.
23 Take thou away from me the multitude of thy songs (for I wil not heare the melodie of thy violes)
Laa na sak o haih loknawk to kalah bangah caeh o haih ving ah, nangcae ih kamding katoeng lok doeh ka tahngai mak ai.
24 And let iudgement runne downe as waters, and righteousnesse as a mightie riuer.
Toe toenghaih to tui baktiah long nasoe loe, katoeng poekhaih doeh kakaang thai ai vacong tui baktiah long nasoe.
25 Haue ye offered vnto me sacrifices and offrings in the wildernesse fourtie yeeres, O house of Israel?
Aw Israel imthung takoh, praezaek ah saning qui palito thung kai khaeah angbawnhaih hoi hmuenpaekhaih to nang sin o maw?
26 But you haue borne Siccuth your King, and Chiun your images, and the starre of your gods, which ye made to your selues.
Nangmacae ih sithaw Molok ih kahni im hoi nangmacae ih sithaw, nangmacae han na sak o ih Khi-un cakaeh krang to na ai maw kasang ah na pakoeh o.
27 Therefore wil I cause you to goe into captiuitie beyond Damascus, saith the Lord, whose Name is the God of hostes.
To pongah nangcae loe Damaska yaeh ah tamna baktiah kang patoeh han, tiah misatuh kaminawk ih Sithaw, tiah ahmin kaom, Angraeng mah thuih.
