< Amos 7 >
1 Thus the Lord GOD showed me; and, behold, He formed locusts in the beginning of the shooting up of the latter growth; and, lo, it was the latter growth after the king's mowings.
Hahoi Bawipa Jehovah ni na patue e teh siangpahrang hane, canga kamtawng hoi cang bout a pawnae tueng navah samtongnaw hah a tâco sak.
2 And if it had come to pass, that when they had made an end of eating the grass of the land — so I said: O Lord GOD, forgive, I beseech Thee; how shall Jacob stand? for he is small.
Hote samtongnaw ni ram pueng thung dawk kaawm e cangnaw hah a ca teh, abaw hnukkhu hoi kai ni oe Bawipa Jehovah, yonnae hah na ngaithoum haw. Jakop teh a thoung dawkvah, bangtelamaw kangdue thai han telah ka pacei navah,
3 The LORD repented concerning this; 'It shall not be', saith the LORD.
BAWIPA ni pankângai awh pawiteh hettelah awm mahoeh telah BAWIPA ni a dei.
4 Thus the Lord GOD showed me; and, behold, the Lord GOD called to contend by fire; and it devoured the great deep, and would have eaten up the land.
Hahoi Bawipa Jehovah ni kai na patue e teh, hmai hoi rek hanelah Bawipa Jehovah ni hmai a kaw teh, tuipui ka dungpoung e hah hmai a kak sak teh ramnaw hai a kak.
5 Then said I: O Lord GOD, cease, I beseech Thee; how shall Jacob stand? for he is small.
Kai ni oe Bawipa Jehovah roum sak leih. Jakop teh a thoung dawkvah bangtelamaw a kangdue thai han ka ti pouh teh,
6 The LORD repented concerning this; 'This also shall not be', saith the Lord GOD.
Bawipa Jehovah ni pankângai awh pawiteh, hettelah awm mahoeh telah BAWIPA ni ati.
7 Thus He showed me; and, behold, the Lord stood beside a wall made by a plumbline, with a plumbline in His hand.
Hahoi na patue e teh bangnuenae rui hah a pabo teh, sak e talung van vah BAWIPA ni a kangdue teh a kut dawk bangnuenae rui patuep na lai hoi,
8 And the LORD said unto me: 'Amos, what seest thou?' And I said: 'A plumbline.' Then said the Lord: Behold, I will set a plumbline in the midst of My people Israel; I will not again pardon them any more;
Amos nang ni bang e hno maw na hmu telah a pacei teh, kai ni bangnuenae rui hah ka hmu ka ti pouh navah, BAWIPA ni khenhaw! kaie tami Isarel miphunnaw a lungui vah bangnuenae rui ka pabo han. Atu hoi nangmouh bout na ngaithoum mahoeh.
9 And the high places of Isaac shall be desolate, and the sanctuaries of Israel shall be laid waste; and I will rise against the house of Jeroboam with the sword.
Isak e a rasangnae hmuennaw teh, tami kingdi vaiteh, Isarel e hmuen kathoungnaw teh be raphoe e lah ao han. Jeroboam imthungnaw hai tahloi hoi ka tuk han, telah ati.
10 Then Amaziah the priest of Beth-el sent to Jeroboam king of Israel, saying: 'Amos hath conspired against thee in the midst of the house of Israel; the land is not able to bear all his words.
Hahoi Bethel vaihma Amaziah, teh Isarel siangpahrang Jeroboam koe ka patoun vaiteh, Amos teh Isarel imthung a lungui vah ama koe lah kahawihoehe pouknae a poe toe. Ahnie lawknaw teh ram ni khang thai mahoeh.
11 For thus Amos saith: Jeroboam shall die by the sword, and Israel shall surely be led away captive out of his land.'
Jeroboam teh tahloi hoi a due han. Isarel miphunnaw teh, a onae ram dawk hoi a pâlei awh han telah Amos ni a dei telah atipouh.
12 Also Amaziah said unto Amos: 'O thou seer, go, flee thee away into the land of Judah, and there eat bread, and prophesy there;
Amos koe Ameziah ni oe nang Profet Judah ram dawk yawng leih. Hote ram dawk Profet tawk nateh kho sak leih.
13 but prophesy not again any more at Beth-el, for it is the king's sanctuary, and it is a royal house.'
Atuhoi Bethel koe lah Profet tawk hanh lawih. Siangpahrang e a thoungnae hmuen doeh. Siangpahrang e im doeh atipouh teh,
14 Then answered Amos, and said to Amaziah: 'I was no prophet, neither was I a prophet's son; but I was a herdman, and a dresser of sycamore-trees;
Amos ni kai teh Profet nahoeh. Profet e ca lah hai ka tho hoeh. Saring ka khenyawnkung hoi thailahei kungnaw ka khenyawnkung lah ka o.
15 and the LORD took me from following the flock, and the LORD said unto me: Go, prophesy unto My people Israel.
BAWIPA ni tu ka khoumnae koehoi kai hah na rasa teh, nang cet haw. Kaie tami Isarel miphunnaw koe Profet thaw tawk haw telah ati.
16 Now therefore hear thou the word of the LORD: Thou sayest: Prophesy not against Israel, and preach not against the house of Isaac;
Hatdawkvah, BAWIPA e kâpoe e ka ngâi pouh. Isarel miphunnaw koe lah Profet tawk hanh, Isak imthung koe lah kâtarannae lawk dei pouh hanh.
17 Therefore thus saith the LORD: Thy wife shall be a harlot in the city, and thy sons and thy daughters shall fall by the sword, and thy land shall be divided by line; and thou thyself shalt die in an unclean land, and Israel shall surely be led away captive out of his land.'
BAWIPA ni a dei e teh, nange na yu teh khothung ka kâyawt e lah ao han. Nange na canu capanaw teh tahloi hoi a due han. Ayânaw ni nange talai teh, rui payang vaiteh a kârei awh han. Nang teh kakhin e ram dawk na due han. Isarel miphunnaw teh a onae ram dawk hoi a pâlei awh hah telah Amaziah koe a dei pouh.
