Amos 3
1 Hear this word that YHWH has spoken concerning you, O sons of Israel, concerning all the family that I brought up from the land of Egypt, saying,
Israel ca nangmih taeng neh Egypt khohmuen lamloh kang khuen van bangla, koca boeih taengah BOEIPA loh he ol a thui he hnatun uh.
2 “Only you have I known of all families of the earth, Therefore I charge on you all your iniquities.”
Diklai koca boeih lamloh nang bueng te kan ming. Te dongah namah kathaesainah boeih te namah taengah kan cawh ni.
3 Do two walk together if they have not met?
A tuentah pawt atah rhenten cet rhoi noek a?
4 Does a lion roar in a forest and he has no prey? Does a young lion give out his voice from his habitation, If he has not caught?
Duup kah sathueng a kawk vaengah amah ham maeh om het mahpawt nim? A khuisaek kah te a tuuk pawt atah sathueng loh a ol a huel bal nim?
5 Does a bird fall into a snare of the earth, And there is no trap for it? Does a snare go up from the ground, And it does not capture prey?
Anih hamla hlaeh a om pawt lalah vaa ke diklai kah pael dongah tla aya? Diklai lamkah pael loh a boh phoeiah tah a tuuk rhoe a tuuk moenih a?
6 Is a horn blown in a city, And do people not tremble? Is there affliction in a city, And YHWH has not done [it]?
Khopuei ah tuki a ueng lalah pataeng pilnam he lakueng het mahpawt nim? Khopuei khuiah yoethae a pai lalah pataeng BOEIPA loh saii het mahpawt nim?” a ti.
7 For Lord YHWH does nothing, Except He has revealed His counsel to His servants the prophets.
A baecenol te a sal tonghma rhoek taengah a phoe mueh la ka Boeipa Yahovah loh hno a saii noek moenih.
8 A lion has roared—who does not fear? Lord YHWH has spoken—who does not prophesy?
Sathueng a kawk lalah ulong a rhih pawt eh? Ka Boeipa Yahovah loh a thui lalah unim aka tonghma pawt pai eh?
9 “Sound to palaces in Ashdod, And to palaces in the land of Egypt, and say: Be gathered on mountains of Samaria, And see many troubles within her, And oppressed ones in her midst.
Ashdod kah impuei taeng neh Egypt khohmuen kah impuei taengah yaak sak. Te vaengah, “Samaria tlang ah tingtun uh,” ti nah. So uh lah, a khui kah soekloeknah neh a laklung kah hnaemtaeknah tah yet coeng.
10 And they have not known to act straightforwardly,” A declaration of YHWH, “Who are treasuring up violence and spoil in their palaces.”
BOEIPA kah olphong, oldueng vai ham khaw ming uh pawh. A impuei ah kuthlahnah neh rhoelrhanah a kael uh.
11 Therefore, thus said Lord YHWH: “An adversary—and surrounding the land, And he has brought down your strength from you, And your palaces have been spoiled.”
Te dongah ka Boeipa Yahovah loh he ni a thui. Rhal neh khohmuen kaepvai long khaw nang te n'suntlak thil vetih na sarhi neh na impuei te a poelyoe ni.
12 Thus said YHWH: “As the shepherd delivers from the lion’s mouth Two legs, or a piece of an ear, So the sons of Israel are delivered, Who are sitting in Samaria on the corner of a bed, And in Damascus [on that of] a couch.
BOEIPA loh he ni a thui. Boiva aka dawn long tah sathueng ka dongkah te a kho rhoi mai khaw, a hna vang mai khaw, a huul pah bangla Samaria kah baiphaih kil neh Damasku soengca ah aka ngol Israel ca rhoek te a huul uh van ni.
13 Hear and testify to the house of Jacob,” A declaration of Lord YHWH, God of Hosts.
Hnatun uh lamtah Jakob imkhui te rhalrhing sakuh. He tah ka Boeipa Yahovah, caempuei Pathen kah olphong ni.
14 “For in the day of My charging the transgressions of Israel on him, I have laid a charge on the altars of Beth-El, And the horns of the altar have been cut off, And they have fallen to the earth.
A soah Israel kah boekoeknah ka cawh hnin ah ngawn tah Bethel hmueihtuk te ka cawh bal ni. Te vaengah hmueihtuk ki khaw tlawt vetih diklai la yalh ni.
15 And I have struck the winter-house with the summer-house, And houses of ivory have perished, And many houses have been consumed,” A declaration of YHWH!
Te phoeiah sikca im khaw khohal im neh ka top ni. Te vaengah vueino im rhoek te poo uh vetih im len rhoek khaw khoengvoep uh ni. He tah BOEIPA kah olphong coeng ni.
