Amos 5
1 Hear this word that I am bearing to you, A lamentation, O house of Israel:
Oe Isarelnaw, atu nangmouh koe kai ni ka dei e khuinae lawk hah thai awh haw.
2 “Fallen, not to rise again, has the virgin of Israel, Left on her land—she has none [to] raise [her] up.”
Isarel imthungnaw na rawp awh toe. Bout na thaw mahoeh toe. Namamae talai dawk ceitakhai lah na o awh toe. Na ka pathaw hane tami awm hoeh.
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.”
Bawipa Jehovah ni a dei e teh, Isarel miphunnaw e thaw tawk sak hanelah, tami 1,000 touh ka poe thai hane kho teh, tami cum touh, cum touh ka poe thai hane kho ni hra touh doeh a poe thai han.
4 For thus said YHWH to the house of Israel: “Seek Me, and live,
BAWIPA ni Isarel miphunnaw a dei pouh e teh kai hah na tawng awh haw. Na tawng awh pawiteh na hring awh han.
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 hah tawng awh hanh. Gilgal kho dawk kâen awh hanh. Beersheba hai takhang awh hanh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, Gilgal kho teh, Bout na man awh han rah. Bethel kho hai ahawinae awm mahoeh.
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—
BAWIPA hah tawng awh. Na tawng pawiteh na hring awh han. Nahoeh pawiteh, Joseph miphun van e hmai patetlah a tâco vaiteh, Bethel e hmai teh kapadoutkung awm mahoeh.
7 You who are turning judgment to wormwood, And have put down righteousness to the earth!”
Ka lan lah lawkcengnae hah, kakhat e thingkung lah ka coung sak vaiteh, lannae hah talai dawk ka tâkhawng e naw,
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;
Baritca hoi kangduetaphai hah ka sak e, Duenae tâhlip hah amom angnae lah kaawm sak hane, Kanîthun angnae hah hmo sak han e, tuipui kakaw niteh, talai dawk ka rabawk e, Jehovah tie a min bari kaawm e,
9 Who is brightening up the spoiled against the strong, And the spoiled comes against a fortress.
A thakaawmpounge taminaw, imnaw, ka raphoe thai e hah tawng awh.
10 They have hated a reprover in the gate, And they detest a plain speaker.
Kho longkha dawkvah lawk ka tâtueng thai e tami hah a hmuhma awh teh, lawkkatang ka dei e hah a panuet awh toe.
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.
Nangmouh ni karoedengnaw na pacekpahlek awh teh, Catun phawng ouk na la awh dawkvah, na a awh e talung hoi im na sak ei teh, hote im dawk na awm mahoeh, Na ngai awh e misur takha hah, na ung awh ei misurtui na net awh mahoeh.
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.
Nangmouh ni patuenpatuen lawk eknae, na yon thaonae kai ni ka panue. Tami kalan hah runae na poe awh. Tadawngnae hah na ca awh. Karoedengnaw, takhang koe kânging hoeh lah lawk na ceng awh.
13 Therefore the wise is silent at that time, For it [is] an evil time.
Hatdawkvah, atueng teh ka mathout poung e atueng lah ao. Tami a lungkaang e ni teh duem ao han.
14 Seek good, and not evil, that you may live, and it is so; YHWH, God of Hosts, [is] with you, as you said.
Na hring thai awh nahanlah yonnae hah roun awh nateh, hawinae hah tawng awh. Hottelah na sak pawiteh, nangmouh ni na dei awh e patetlah Kalvan ransabawi, BAWIPA teh nangmouh hoi rei ao han.
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.
Yonnae hmuhma awh nateh, hawinae hah lungpataw awh. Kho longkha koe kahman e hah awm sak awh. Rasahu BAWIPA Cathut ni, kacawie Joseph miphunnaw, A pahren hai a pahren yawkaw han doeh.
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.
Ransahu Jehovah Cathut ni a dei e teh bangpueng dawkvah, khuikanae ao vaiteh, ka cet kaawmnaw ni aiyoe! aiyoe! telah ati awh han. Law ka sak e taminaw hah cingou hanelah thoseh, cingounae hah khuika hanelah thoseh a kaw awh han.
17 And in all vineyards [is] lamentation, For I pass into your midst,” said YHWH.
Misur takhanaw dawk hai a khui awh han. Bangkongtetpawiteh, kai teh nangmae alungui ka cei han telah BAWIPA ni ati.
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,
BAWIPA e hnin ka rabui e taminaw teh, yawthoe e lah ao. Bang dawk maw nangmouh ni na rabui awh. BAWIPA e hnin teh nangmouh koe ang mahoeh. Hmonae lah ao awh han.
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.
Tami ni sendek onae koehoi a yawng vaiteh, tavom hoi kâhmo e patetlah im dawk kâen vaiteh, tapang dawk a kut a toung eiteh tahrun ni a khue.
20 Is not the Day of YHWH darkness and not light, Even thick darkness that has no brightness?
Bawipa e hnin teh ang laipalah a hmo han. Angnae roeroe awm mahoeh. Khoeroe a hmo han.
21 “I have hated—I have loathed your festivals, And I am not refreshed by your restraints.
Nangmae pawinaw hah, kai ni ka hmuhma, ka panuet. Na sak awh e hninnaw dawk hai kai ka nawm hoeh.
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.
Hmaisawi thuengnae, tavai thuengnae hah na poe nakunghai kai ni ka coe hoeh. Roum thuengnae hai kai ni ka noutna mahoeh.
23 Turn the noise of your songs aside from Me, Indeed, I do not hear the praise of your stringed instruments.
Nangmouh ni la na sak e lawk hai takhoe awh. Ratoung na tum e lawk hai ka thai mahoeh.
24 And judgment rolls on as waters, And righteousness as a perennial stream.
Ka lan lah lawkcengnae hah tui patetlah, lannae hah palang tui athakaawme patetlah lawng sak awh.
25 Did you bring sacrifices and offerings near to Me, In a wilderness forty years, O house of Israel?
Oe Isarel imthung nangmouh ni sathei hoi thuengnae hah kahrawngum vah kum 40 touh thung kai koe na sin boi awh namaw.
26 And you bore Succoth your king, and Chiun your images, The star of your god, that you made for yourselves.
Nangmae siangpahrang Sakkut hoi nangmae meikaphawk hoi âsi cathut na sak awh e hah na sin awh toe.
27 And I removed you beyond Damascus,” said YHWH—God of Hosts [is] His Name.
Hatdawkvah nangmouh teh Damaskas hloilah man sak hanlah kai ni ka rakueng han telah ransahu BAWIPA Cathut telah a min kaawm e ni a dei.
