< Amos 8 >

1 Thus the Lord GOD showed me; and behold a basket of summer fruit.
Hahoi Bawipa Jehovah ni kai na patue e teh, khenhaw! kawmpoi paw tangthung buet touh ka hmu.
2 And He said: 'Amos, what seest thou?' And I said: 'A basket of summer fruit.' Then said the LORD unto me: The end is come upon My people Israel; I will not again pardon 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 songs of the palace shall be wailings in that day, saith the Lord GOD; the dead bodies shall be many; in every place silence shall be cast.
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, O ye that would swallow the needy, and destroy the poor of the land,
Maimouh ni cakang yo hanelah, thaparei hnin loum lawiseh, satun yo hanelah, sabbath hnin loum lawiseh teh awh vaiteh,
5 Saying: 'When will the new moon be gone, that we may sell grain? and the sabbath, that we may set forth corn? making the ephah small, and the shekel great, and falsifying the balances of deceit;
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 buy the poor for silver, and the needy for a pair of shoes, and 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 by the pride of Jacob: Surely I will never forget any of 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? Yea, it shall rise up wholly like the River; and it shall be troubled and sink again, like 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 I will cause the sun to go down at noon, and I will darken the earth in the clear day.
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 all loins, and baldness upon every head; and I will make it as the mourning for an only son, and the 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 GOD, that I will send a famine in the land, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the words 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 wander from sea to sea, and from the north even to the east; they shall run to and fro to seek 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 shall the fair virgins and the young men 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: 'As thy God, O Dan, liveth'; and: 'As the way of Beer-sheba liveth'; even they shall fall, and never rise up again.
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.
