Amos 5
1 Heare ye this worde, which I lift vp vpon you, euen a lamentation of the house of Israel.
Vo Israel mite, na chung uva thi-op la kasah khum’u hi ngai cheh tem’un!
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.
Nungah tobang Israel chu akiseplhu tai, avel’a dingdoh kitlou dingin tollhanga akijam den tai.
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.
Hatchungnung Pakaiyin hitin aseiye, “Galsat mi sangkhat avaikon teng, mi jakhat bou hung kile jia, mi jakhat avaikon teng, mi somkhat bou hingdoh’a hung kile ji ahiuve’’ ati.
4 For thus saith the Lord vnto the house of Israel, Seeke ye me, and ye shall liue.
Tun, Pakaiyin Israel mite jah’a hitin aseiye,’ “Nahin na diuvin, kahenga hung kilekit tauvin,
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 kho’a doi-pathen houdin amaicham phunga cheda uvin, Gilgal leh Beersheba mun’a jong doi houdin lut dauvin. Ajeh chu, Gilgal khomite jong sohchanga kikaimang diu, chuleh Bethel khomite jing imalou soh uva mangthah diu ahi,’’ati.
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.
Nahin na diuvin Pakai kom’a hung kilekit uvin, achuti louleh, Pakai chu Israel chunga meikou kisunkhum banga hung deujah ding, naboncha uva nakah vam diu, Bethel kho’a na-doi-pathen uvin jong hichu aphelmit thei lou ding ahi.
7 They turne iudgement to wormewood, and leaue off righteousnes in the earth.
Nanghon thudih chu na heikon un, hesoh gentheite din changkha kine nabah sah’un, Nanghon athudih laitah chu kidah um nasosah’un, tolsenan nanei tauve.
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.
Pakaiyin ahsi ho asem in, ahsi lah’a Bombel leh Ngambom lungthu jong asem e. Aman muthim lhangkhal jong jingkah khovah asosah in, sunlai nisa jong jan muthim asosah theiye. Aman twikhanglen’a twipi ho achopdoh in, leiset chunga aphilhah sah e. Ama chu amin Pakai kiti ahi.
9 He strengtheneth the destroyer against the mightie: and the destroyer shall come against the fortresse.
Aman athahat apan in, ahat leh apaote asumang in, akulpi jouseu jong asuhchim peh tai.
10 They haue hated him, that rebuked in the gate: and they abhorred him that speaketh vprightly.
Nanghon thu adih’a tanpa nahot bol’un, thutah seidoh ho jong nadal bol uvin na kidah thouve.
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.
Nanghon vaicha gentheite chotphan nanei jun, dihlou tah in kai don nopnan nanei jun, achang jouseu nalah peh jiuve. Hijeh chun, nanghon song-in hoitah tah nakisah vangun, asunga nachen louhel diu ahi. Chuleh lengpilei na deitah’a nabol uva tamtah naphu vang un, hicheho’a kon’a chu nanghon lengpitwi nadon louhel diu ahibouve.
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.
Ajeh chu, keiman nasuhkhel u ijat hija, na chonset nau ichan geija nasa ham, ti kahesoh keije. Nangho hi nehguh kilah’a, midih bolgenthei ja pang nahiuve, chuleh thutanna mun’a vaicha tahlelte dihna selmang’a pang nahiuve.
13 Therefore the prudent shall keepe silence in that time, for it is an euill time.
Hijeh chun, hitobang phat phatlou laitah’a, akam kihup’a umthim beh chu, milung chingho ahiuve.
14 Seeke good and not euil, that ye may liue: and the Lord God of hostes shalbe with you, as you haue spoken.
Apha chu ipi ham, hol uvin lang, thilse chu jamsan’un, chutileh nanghon na sei jiu banga, Pakai van Pathen chun na umpi jing thei diu ahi.
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.
Thilse hotbol unlang, apha chu ngailuvin; chuleh thutanna munho chu thudih lenna hisah’un, chutileh Pakai van Pathen chun, amite ahingdoh amoh chengse chunga alungsetna akoi ding ahi.
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.
Hijeh chun Pakai van Pathen chun hitin aseije, khosung leh vengning koilah jousea thi-op ho ka leh mao o-gin dimlha ding, chuleh akap gunset dinga ka-je them hojong akondiu, ahi.
17 And in al the vines shalbe lamentation: for I wil passe through thee, saith the Lord.
Lengpilei lai jousea mi kap thum jeju ding, ajeh chu Keiman amaho talen kamatsah’a kasuhgam hel soh ding ahi, tin Pakaiyin aseiye.
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.
Ohe, ada nahiuve! Pakai nikho chu hunglhung taleh tiho. Nanghon Pakai nikho chu ipi tobang ham nahepouve Hiche nikho chun khovah ahinpohlut louhel ding, muthim lhangkhal ahinlhut ding ahibouve.
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.
Hiche nikho chuleh nangho, Pasal khattou sakei bahkai kicha-a ajamleh vompin ana lamtin’a, vompia kon’a ajamdoh kit’a a-insung alhun’a, a-inbanga akingaileh akhut gul’in ahinchuh tobang nahi diu ahi.
20 Shal not the day of the Lord be darkenes, and not light? euen darkenes and no light in it?
Chutia chu, Pakai nikho chu muthim leh lungjin nikho hiding, lung navah bei leh kipana beikei nikho hiding ahi.
21 I hate and abhorre your feast dayes, and I wil not smelll in your solemne assemblies.
Keiman kut nabol jouseu kahon kadei poi, khoppi theng nabol’u jong ka kipah dehpoi. Ajeh chu abon’a atah hilou na bolthu ngen’u ahibouve.
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.
Nanghon pumgo thilto nadeitah’uva nabol’u jong kamit a ka vetpih louhel ding nahiuve.
23 Take thou away from me the multitude of thy songs (for I wil not heare the melodie of thy violes)
O thong jejua vahchoila nasah’u jong thip doh un, selangdah tampi ngeitah’a nasai ju jong ka ngainom poi.
24 And let iudgement runne downe as waters, and righteousnesse as a mightie riuer.
Chusang in, thudih chu twilong hattah bangin nei musah un, chuleh kanglou twidung bangin chondihna chu lonsah’un.
25 Haue ye offered vnto me sacrifices and offrings in the wildernesse fourtie yeeres, O house of Israel?
Vo, Israel mite, gamthip noija kum somli sunga chu, kilhaina gantha chuleh thilto chom chom ho chu kahenga nahinchoi jingu hinam?
26 But you haue borne Siccuth your King, and Chiun your images, and the starre of your gods, which ye made to your selues.
Ahipoi, nanghon na-doi-pathen’u nalengpau Sakkuth leh ahsi pathen na kisem thu-u bou chu najen’un nahou-ve.
27 Therefore wil I cause you to goe into captiuitie beyond Damascus, saith the Lord, whose Name is the God of hostes.
Hijeh’a chu keiman nanghohi Damascus kalpeh’a sohchanga ka kaimang diu nahi tin, Pakaiyin aseiyin, ama min chu Pakai van Pathen ahi.
