< Amos 1 >

1 Words of Amos—who has been among herdsmen of Tekoa—that he has seen concerning Israel, in the days of Uzziah king of Judah, and in the days of Jeroboam son of Joash king of Israel, two years before the shaking;
Tekoa kah saelhung boei rhoek khuikah aka om Amos ol. Judah manghai Uzziah tue neh Israel manghai Joash capa Jeroboam tue, lingluei hmai kah kum vaengah Israel ham a hmuh pah.
2 and he says, “YHWH roars from Zion, And gives forth His voice from Jerusalem, And pastures of the shepherds have mourned, And the top of Carmel has withered!”
BOEIPA tah Zion lamloh kawk tih Jerusalem lamloh a ol a huel tih a thui. Te vaengah boiva aka dawn kah rhamtlim te nguekcoi tih Karmel lu rhae coeng.
3 And thus said YHWH: “For three transgressions of Damascus, And for four, I do not reverse it, Because of their threshing Gilead with sharp-pointed irons,
BOEIPA loh he ni a thui. Damasku kah boekoeknah pathum neh pali dongah anih te ka rhael mahpawh. Gilead te thi vueituk neh a boh.
4 And I have sent a fire against the house of Hazael, And it has consumed the palaces of Ben-Hadad.
Te dongah Hazael im ah hmai ka tueih vetih Benhadad impuei a hlawp ni.
5 And I have broken the bar of Damascus, And cut off the inhabitant from Bikat-Aven, And a holder of a scepter from Beth-Eden, And the people of Aram have been removed to Kir,” said YHWH.
Damasku thohkalh te ka khaem vetih kolbawn lamkah khosa rhoek khaw, Betheden kah caitueng aka pom khaw ka thup ni. Aram kah pilnam te Kir la a poelyoe uh ni tila BOEIPA loh a thui.
6 Thus said YHWH: “For three transgressions of Gaza, And for four, I do not reverse it, Because of their removing a complete captivity, To deliver up to Edom,
BOEIPA loh he ni a thui. Gaza kah boekoeknah pathum phoeikah pali dongah anih ka rhael mahpawh. Amih hlangsol a poelyoe tih Edom taengah rhuemtuet la a det.
7 And I have sent a fire against the wall of Gaza, And it has consumed her palaces;
Gaza vongtung soah hmai ka tueih vetih a impuei khaw a hlawp pah ni.
8 And I have cut off the inhabitant from Ashdod, And a holder of a scepter from Ashkelon, And have turned back My hand against Ekron, And the remnant of the Philistines have perished,” said Lord YHWH.
Ashdod kah khosa neh Ashkelon kah caitueng aka pom rhoek khaw ka thup ni. Ekron taengah ka kut ka thuung vetih Philisti kah a meet rhoek khaw milh uh ni tila Boeipa Yahovah loh a thui.
9 Thus said YHWH: “For three transgressions of Tyre, And for four, I do not reverse it, Because of their delivering up a complete captivity to Edom, And they did not remember the brotherly covenant,
BOEIPA loh he ni a thui. Tyre kah boekoeknah pathum neh pali dongah anih te ka rhael mahpawh. Hlangsol te Edom taengah rhuemtuet la a det tih manuca kah paipi te poek uh pawh.
10 And I have sent a fire against the wall of Tyre, And it has consumed her palaces.”
Te dongah Tyre vongtung soah hmai ka tueih vetih a impuei khaw a hlawp pah ni.
11 Thus said YHWH: “For three transgressions of Edom, And for four, I do not reverse it, Because of his pursuing his brother with a sword, And he has destroyed his mercies, And his anger tears continuously, And his wrath—he has kept it forever,
BOEIPA loh he ni a thui. Edom kah boekoeknah pathum ham neh pali ham te anih ka rhael mahpawh. A manuca te cunghang neh a hloem tih a haidamnah khaw a porhak sak. A thintoek a yoeyah la a paem tih a thinpom te a ngaithuen yoeyah.
12 And I have sent a fire against Teman, And it has consumed palaces of Bozrah.”
Te dongah Teman soah hmai ka tueih vetih Bozrah impuei khaw a hlawp pah ni.
13 Thus said YHWH: “For three transgressions of the sons of Ammon, And for four, I do not reverse it, Because of their ripping up the pregnant ones of Gilead, To enlarge their border,
BOEIPA loh he ni a thui. Ammon ca rhoek kah boekoeknah pathum ham neh pali ham te anih ka rhael mahpawh. Amamih kah khorhi dangka hamla Gilead bungvawn rhoek te a boe uh.
14 And I have kindled a fire against the wall of Rabbah, And it has consumed her palaces, With a shout in a day of battle, With a whirlwind in a day of windstorm,
Te dongah hmai tah Rabbah vongtung dongah ka hlup pah vetih a impuei khaw a hlawp pah ni. Caemtloek hnin ah tamlung neh cangpalam hnin kah hlipuei.
15 And their king has gone in a removal, He and his heads together,” said YHWH!
Amih kah manghai amah neh a mangpa rhoek vangsawn la rhenten cet ni tila BOEIPA loh a thui.
