Amos 5
1 Heare ye this worde, which I lift vp vpon you, euen a lamentation of the house of Israel.
He ol he hnatun uh. Kai loh nangmih hamla Israel imkhui kah rhahlung kang khuen coeng.
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.
Israel oila te tla coeng tih a thoh ham koei voel pawh. A khohmuen ah a phap coeng tih anih aka thoh om pawh.
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.
Te dongah ka Boeipa Yahovah loh he ni a thui. Khopuei te thawngkhat la khong cakhaw yakhat la cul ni. Yakhat khong mai cakhaw Israel imkhui ham tah parha la cul ni.
4 For thus saith the Lord vnto the house of Israel, Seeke ye me, and ye shall liue.
BOEIPA loh he ni a thui. Israel imkhui nang te kai n'toem uh lamtah hing uh.
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 te toem uh boel lamtah Gilgal te paan uh boeh. Beersheba te khaw pah uh boeh. Gilgal te a poelyoe rhoe a poelyoe uh vetih Bethel khaw boethae la om ni.
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.
BOEIPA te toem uh lamtah hing uh. Joseph im kah hmai bangla thaihtak vetih n'hlawp ve. Bethel te aka thih te om mahpawh.
7 They turne iudgement to wormewood, and leaue off righteousnes in the earth.
Tiktamnah khaw pantong la poeh tih duengnah te diklai la tloeng uh.
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.
Airhitbom neh buhol aka saii, dueknah hlipkhup te mincang la aka khueh, khothaih te khoyin bangla aka hmuep sak, tuipuei tui te a khue tih diklai hman ah aka hawk kah a ming tah Yahweh ni.
9 He strengtheneth the destroyer against the mightie: and the destroyer shall come against the fortresse.
Aka tlung sokah rhoelrhanah neh a ngaidip tih hmuencak taengah rhoelrhanah a pai sak.
10 They haue hated him, that rebuked in the gate: and they abhorred him that speaketh vprightly.
Vongka ah ol aka tloek te a hmuhuet uh tih cuemthuek la aka thui te a tuei uh.
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.
Te dongah tattloel soah na sundaep uh tih a taengkah cangpai buham te na loh uh. Lungrhaih im na thoh uh cakhaw a khuiah kho na sa uh mahpawh. Naidoeh misurdum na tawn uh cakhaw a misurtui te na o uh mahpawh.
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.
Na boekoeknah khawk tih na tholhnah a ping khaw ka ming ta. Aka dueng te na daengdaeh uh tih tlansum na loh uh dongah khodaeng rhoek tah vongka ah a kaeng uh.
13 Therefore the prudent shall keepe silence in that time, for it is an euill time.
Te dongah a tue neh aka cueih long he tah yoethae tue ham he khaw kuemsuem coeng.
14 Seeke good and not euil, that ye may liue: and the Lord God of hostes shalbe with you, as you haue spoken.
A then na toem uh tih na thae pawt daengah ni na hing uh eh. Te vaengah ni na thui bangla nang taengah caempuei Pathen BOEIPA te a om tangloeng eh.
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.
A thae te thiinah uh lamtah a then te lungnah uh, vongka ah tiktamnah khueh lah, caempuei Pathen BOEIPA loh Joseph kah a meet te a rhen khaming.
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.
Te dongah ka Boeipa, caempuei Pathen Yahweh loh he he a thui. Toltung takuem kah rhaengsaelung neh rhamvoel tom ah, “Ayoe, ayoe,” a ti uh. Lopho te nguekcoinah hamla a khue vetih rhathinah ming hamla a rhaengsae uh ni.
17 And in al the vines shalbe lamentation: for I wil passe through thee, saith the Lord.
Nang khui longah ka pah ham dongah misurdum boeih ah rhaengsaelung om saeh tila BOEIPA loh a thui.
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.
Anunae BOEIPA kah khohnin aka ngaidam rhoek aih. BOEIPA khohnin te nangmih ham metla a om eh. Te tah hmaisuep la om tih vangnah om pawt lah ko.
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.
Hlang te sathueng mikhmuh lamloh rhaelrham sitoe cakhaw anih te vom loh a cuuk thil. Im a pha tih pangbueng dongah a kut a tloeng dae anih te rhul loh a tuk.
20 Shal not the day of the Lord be darkenes, and not light? euen darkenes and no light in it?
BOEIPA kah khohnin tah a hmuep moenih a? Vangnah om pawt tih a hmueprhut dongah a aa om pawh.
21 I hate and abhorre your feast dayes, and I wil not smelll in your solemne assemblies.
Na khotue te ka hmuhuet tih ka kohnue coeng dongah na pahong te ka him moenih.
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.
Kai taengla hmueihhlutnah nang khuen uh mai sitoe cakhaw nangmih kah khocang te ka doe mahpawh. Nangmih kah rhoepnah puetsuet khaw ka paelki moenih.
23 Take thou away from me the multitude of thy songs (for I wil not heare the melodie of thy violes)
Kai taeng lamloh khoe uh laeh. Na laa rhoi neh na thangpa oldi khaw ka hnatun moenih.
24 And let iudgement runne downe as waters, and righteousnesse as a mightie riuer.
Tedae tiktamnah he tui bangla hol uh saeh lamtah duengnah soklong bangla tangkuek saeh.
25 Haue ye offered vnto me sacrifices and offrings in the wildernesse fourtie yeeres, O house of Israel?
Israel imkhui aw, khosoek kah kum sawmli khuiah kai taengla hmueih neh khocang nang khuen uh a?
26 But you haue borne Siccuth your King, and Chiun your images, and the starre of your gods, which ye made to your selues.
Na manghai Sakkuth neh Khiun te na muei la na ludoeng uh. Na pathen aisi te namamih ham na saii uh.
27 Therefore wil I cause you to goe into captiuitie beyond Damascus, saith the Lord, whose Name is the God of hostes.
Te dongah nangmih te Damasku kah a voel duela kam poelyoe ni tila a ming neh caempuei Pathen BOEIPA loh a thui.
