Amos 5
1 Hear this word that I am bearing to you, A lamentation, O house of Israel:
Vo Israel mite, na chung uva thi-op la kasah khum’u hi ngai cheh tem’un!
2 “Fallen, not to rise again, has the virgin of Israel, Left on her land—she has none [to] raise [her] up.”
Nungah tobang Israel chu akiseplhu tai, avel’a dingdoh kitlou dingin tollhanga akijam den tai.
3 For thus said Lord YHWH: “The city that is going out one thousand, Leaves one hundred, And that which is going out one hundred, Leaves 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 said YHWH to the house of Israel: “Seek Me, and live,
Tun, Pakaiyin Israel mite jah’a hitin aseiye,’ “Nahin na diuvin, kahenga hung kilekit tauvin,
5 And do not seek Beth-El, and do not enter Gilgal, And do not pass through Beer-Sheba, For Gilgal utterly removes, And Beth-El becomes vanity.
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 YHWH, and live, Lest He prosper as fire [against] the house of Joseph, And it has consumed, And there is no quencher for Beth-El—
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 are turning judgment to wormwood, And have put down righteousness to 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 The Maker of the Pleiades and Orion, And He who is turning death-shade to the morning—And He has made day [as] dark [as] night—Who is calling to the waters of the sea, And pours them on the face of the earth, YHWH [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 Who is brightening up the spoiled against the strong, And the spoiled comes against a fortress.
Aman athahat apan in, ahat leh apaote asumang in, akulpi jouseu jong asuhchim peh tai.
10 They have hated a reprover in the gate, And they detest a plain speaker.
Nanghon thu adih’a tanpa nahot bol’un, thutah seidoh ho jong nadal bol uvin na kidah thouve.
11 Therefore, because of your trampling on the poor, And the tribute of grain you take from him, Houses of hewn work you have built, And you do not dwell in them, Desirable vineyards you have planted, And you do not drink their wine.
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 have known—many [are] your transgressions, And mighty your sins, Adversaries of the righteous, taking ransoms, And you turned aside the needy in the gate.
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 wise is silent at 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 it is so; YHWH, God of Hosts, [is] with you, as you said.
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 evil, and love good, And set up judgment in the gate, It may be YHWH, God of Hosts, pities 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, thus said YHWH, God of Hosts, the Lord: “Lamentation is in all broad places, And in all out-places they say, Oh! Oh! And called the farmer to mourning, And the skillful of wailing to lamentation.
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 [is] lamentation, For I pass into your midst,” said YHWH.
Lengpilei lai jousea mi kap thum jeju ding, ajeh chu Keiman amaho talen kamatsah’a kasuhgam hel soh ding ahi, tin Pakaiyin aseiye.
18 Behold, you who are desiring the Day of YHWH, Why [is] this to you—the Day of YHWH? It 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 [when] one flees from the face of the lion, And the bear has met him, And he has come into the house, And has leaned his hand on the wall, And the serpent has bitten 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 Is not the Day of YHWH darkness and not light, Even thick darkness that has no brightness?
Chutia chu, Pakai nikho chu muthim leh lungjin nikho hiding, lung navah bei leh kipana beikei nikho hiding ahi.
21 “I have hated—I have loathed your festivals, And I am not refreshed by your restraints.
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 For though you cause burnt-offerings and your presents to ascend to Me, I am not pleased, And I do not behold the peace-offering of your fatlings.
Nanghon pumgo thilto nadeitah’uva nabol’u jong kamit a ka vetpih louhel ding nahiuve.
23 Turn the noise of your songs aside from Me, Indeed, I do not hear the praise of your stringed instruments.
O thong jejua vahchoila nasah’u jong thip doh un, selangdah tampi ngeitah’a nasai ju jong ka ngainom poi.
24 And judgment rolls on as waters, And righteousness as a perennial stream.
Chusang in, thudih chu twilong hattah bangin nei musah un, chuleh kanglou twidung bangin chondihna chu lonsah’un.
25 Did you bring sacrifices and offerings near to Me, In a 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 And you bore Succoth your king, and Chiun your images, The star of your god, that you made for yourselves.
Ahipoi, nanghon na-doi-pathen’u nalengpau Sakkuth leh ahsi pathen na kisem thu-u bou chu najen’un nahou-ve.
27 And I removed you beyond Damascus,” said YHWH—God of Hosts [is] His Name.
Hijeh’a chu keiman nanghohi Damascus kalpeh’a sohchanga ka kaimang diu nahi tin, Pakaiyin aseiyin, ama min chu Pakai van Pathen ahi.
