Amos 5
1 Hear you this word which I take up against you, even a lamentation, O house of Israel.
Aw Israel imthung takoh, nangcae qahhaih lok hoi misa haih lok hae tahngai oh:
2 The virgin of Israel is fallen; she shall no more rise: she is forsaken on her land; there is none to raise her up.
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 says the Lord GOD; The city that went out by a thousand shall leave an hundred, and that which went forth by an hundred shall leave 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 says the LORD to the house of Israel, Seek you me, and you shall live:
Israel imthung takoh khaeah Angraeng mah hae tiah thuih; kai hae pakrong ah loe, hing oh;
5 But seek not Bethel, nor enter into Gilgal, and pass not to Beersheba: for Gilgal shall surely go into captivity, and Bethel shall come to nothing.
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 Seek the LORD, and you shall live; lest he break out like fire in the house of Joseph, and devour it, and there be none to quench it in Bethel.
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 You who turn judgment to wormwood, and leave off righteousness in the earth,
Toenghaih to sethaih bangah paqoi ving moe, toenghaih to long ah va ving nangcae,
8 Seek him that makes the seven stars and Orion, and turns the shadow of death into the morning, and makes the day dark with night: that calls for the waters of the sea, and pours them out on the face of the 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 That strengthens the spoiled against the strong, so that the spoiled shall come against the fortress.
Thacak kami amrosakkung hoi misa pakaahaih kaom vangpui amrosak thaih Sithaw to pakrong oh.
10 They hate him that rebukes in the gate, and they abhor him that speaks uprightly.
Lokcaekhaih ahmuen ih thuitaekhaih to na hnukma o moe, loktang thui kami to na panuet o.
11 For as much therefore as your treading is on the poor, and you take from him burdens of wheat: you have built houses of hewn stone, but you shall not dwell in them; you have planted pleasant vineyards, but you shall not drink 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 mighty sins: they afflict the just, they take a bribe, and they turn aside the poor in the gate from their right.
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 keep silence in that time; for it is an evil time.
Kasae tue ah oh pongah, to atue ah palungha kaminawk loe om o duem tih.
14 Seek good, and not evil, that you may live: and so the LORD, the God of hosts, shall be with you, as you have 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 evil, and love the good, and establish judgment in the gate: it may be that the LORD God of hosts will be gracious to the remnant of Joseph.
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 Therefore the LORD, the God of hosts, the LORD, says thus; Wailing shall be in all streets; and they shall say in all the highways, Alas! alas! and they shall call the farmer to mourning, and such as are skillful of lamentation to wailing.
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 all vineyards shall be wailing: for I will pass through you, says the LORD.
Nangcae salakah ka caeh pongah, misur takha ohhaih ahmuen boih ah qahhaih to om tih, tiah Angraeng mah thuih.
18 Woe to you that desire the day of the LORD! to what end is it for you? the day of the LORD is darkness, 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 lion, and a bear 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 Shall not the day of the LORD be darkness, and not light? even very dark, and no brightness 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, I despise your feast days, and I will not smell in your solemn 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 you offer me burnt offerings and your meat offerings, I will not accept them: neither will I regard the peace offerings 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 you away from me the noise of your songs; for I will not hear the melody of your viols.
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 But let judgment run down as waters, and righteousness as a mighty stream.
Toe toenghaih to tui baktiah long nasoe loe, katoeng poekhaih doeh kakaang thai ai vacong tui baktiah long nasoe.
25 Have you offered to me sacrifices and offerings in the wilderness forty years, 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 have borne the tabernacle of your Moloch and Chiun your images, the star of your god, which you made to yourselves.
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 will I cause you to go into captivity beyond Damascus, says the LORD, whose name is The God of hosts.
To pongah nangcae loe Damaska yaeh ah tamna baktiah kang patoeh han, tiah misatuh kaminawk ih Sithaw, tiah ahmin kaom, Angraeng mah thuih.
