Amos 5
1 Hear you this word which I take up against you, even a lamentation, O house of Israel.
Vo Israel mite, na chung uva thi-op la kasah khum’u hi ngai cheh tem’un!
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.
Nungah tobang Israel chu akiseplhu tai, avel’a dingdoh kitlou dingin tollhanga akijam den tai.
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.
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 says the LORD to the house of Israel, Seek you me, and you shall live:
Tun, Pakaiyin Israel mite jah’a hitin aseiye,’ “Nahin na diuvin, kahenga hung kilekit tauvin,
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 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 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.
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 You who turn judgment to wormwood, and leave off righteousness 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 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:
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 That strengthens the spoiled against the strong, so that the spoiled shall come against the fortress.
Aman athahat apan in, ahat leh apaote asumang in, akulpi jouseu jong asuhchim peh tai.
10 They hate him that rebukes in the gate, and they abhor him that speaks uprightly.
Nanghon thu adih’a tanpa nahot bol’un, thutah seidoh ho jong nadal bol uvin na kidah thouve.
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.
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 mighty sins: they afflict the just, they take a bribe, and they turn aside the poor in the gate from their right.
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 keep silence in that time; for it is an evil time.
Hijeh chun, hitobang phat phatlou laitah’a, akam kihup’a umthim beh chu, milung chingho ahiuve.
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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 all vineyards shall be wailing: for I will pass through you, says 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 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.
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 lion, and a bear 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 Shall not the day of the LORD be darkness, and not light? even very dark, and no brightness in it?
Chutia chu, Pakai nikho chu muthim leh lungjin nikho hiding, lung navah bei leh kipana beikei nikho hiding ahi.
21 I hate, I despise your feast days, and I will not smell in your solemn 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 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.
Nanghon pumgo thilto nadeitah’uva nabol’u jong kamit a ka vetpih louhel ding nahiuve.
23 Take you away from me the noise of your songs; for I will not hear the melody of your viols.
O thong jejua vahchoila nasah’u jong thip doh un, selangdah tampi ngeitah’a nasai ju jong ka ngainom poi.
24 But let judgment run down as waters, and righteousness as a mighty stream.
Chusang in, thudih chu twilong hattah bangin nei musah un, chuleh kanglou twidung bangin chondihna chu lonsah’un.
25 Have you offered to me sacrifices and offerings in the wilderness forty years, 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 have borne the tabernacle of your Moloch and Chiun your images, the star of your god, which you made to yourselves.
Ahipoi, nanghon na-doi-pathen’u nalengpau Sakkuth leh ahsi pathen na kisem thu-u bou chu najen’un nahou-ve.
27 Therefore will I cause you to go into captivity beyond Damascus, says the LORD, whose name is The God of hosts.
Hijeh’a chu keiman nanghohi Damascus kalpeh’a sohchanga ka kaimang diu nahi tin, Pakaiyin aseiyin, ama min chu Pakai van Pathen ahi.
