< Amos 8 >

1 Thus has Lord YHWH showed me, and behold, a basket of summer-fruit.
Hatchungnung Pakaiyin, hicheng hi, themgao thilmun keima eivetsah e. Hichu nipilaija theiga-min longkai khat dimset in akitung e.
2 And He says, “What are you seeing, Amos?” And I say, “A basket of summer-fruit.” And YHWH says to me: “The end has come to My people Israel, I no longer pass over to it anymore.
Hichun aman eidong in, “Amos ipi namu em?” eiti. Ken jong ka donbut in, “Longkai khat dimset nipilai theiga-min kamui’’ kati. Chuphat in Pakaiyin asei tai,’’ Hiche theiga-min namu bang’a hi, kami Israelte jong akichaina diu phat hunglhung ahitai. Keiman achunguva talen kamatsah ding hi, kakhongai tahlou ding ahi.
3 And female singers have howled of a palace in that day,” A declaration of Lord YHWH, “Many [are] the carcasses, into any place throw—hush!”
Hiche nikho chuleh, houin’a la kisa hojong abon’a kana la sohgam ding, mithi tampi khopisung muntin’a thang jeng ding ahi. Hiche hi keima thaneipen Pakaiyin ka sei doh ahitai.
4 Hear this, you who are swallowing up the needy, To cause the poor of the land to cease,
Hichehi ngai uvin, nanghon vaichate nachom gam’un, chuleh tahlelte kengchot phan nanei uve.
5 Saying, “When does the new moon pass, And we sell ground grain? And the Sabbath, and we open out pure grain? To make little the ephah, And to make great the shekel, And to use balances of deceit perversely.
Nanghon, cholngah nikho hunglhun ding nangah lel un, houthua kut kibol nikho hojong kichaidoh loihen, natiuve. Ajeh chu, nanghon thil tena dihlou nasem’un, chang leh suhlou chang ho, aman val val in mi nachohsah uvin, thilcho leh thiljoh hojong jou leh nal in nalhemlha uvin ahi.
6 To purchase the poor with money, And the needy for a pair of sandals, Indeed, the refuse of the pure grain we sell.”
Nanghon, changsi tol’a kiseplha toh changtah nachoh hel’un, hichu najoh’un, chuteng vaicha leh tahlelte chu soh din dangka pehkhat pouvin na kichoh un, chuleh kengchot tokhat poutoh nalheh’un ahi.
7 YHWH has sworn by the excellence of Jacob: “I do not forget any of their works forever.
Tun, Pakai Israel Pathen chu, ama leh ama akihahsel in, “A itih’a jong, na thilse bolho kahaimil lou hel ding ahi.
8 Does the land not tremble for this, And every dweller in it has mourned? And all of it has come up as a flood. And it has been cast out, and has sunk, Like the flood of Egypt.
Hiche jeh’a chu, gamsung pumpi ling kihot banga killing ding, chuleh gamsung chu Nile vadung twi solai banga, hung kinuh sang ding chuleh kemsuh kitding ahi’’, ati.
9 And it has come to pass in that day,” A declaration of Lord YHWH, “I have caused the sun to go in at noon, And caused darkness on the land in a day of light,
“Hiche nikho chuleh, keiman sunlaiya nisa kalhumsah ding, chuleh sunchang laiya leiset chung mu ka thimsah ding ahi,” tin thanei pen Pakaiyin aseiye.
10 And have turned your festivals to mourning, And all your songs to lamentation, And caused sackcloth to come up on all loins, And on every head—baldness, And made it as a mourning of an only one, And its latter end as a day of bitterness.
Chuleh, golvah kut nabol jouseu kaleh maona-a ka heidoh peh ding, la nasah jouseu jong kala-a ka heidoh peh ding nahiuve. Nanghon, thi-op pon nakisil uva, lunghem jeh’a amitakip nalu nahotol diu, Nachapa khatseh na neisun thijeh’a lunghem bang’a kalha diu, Hiche nikho chu iti lainat um hitam!’’tin Pakaiyin aseiye.
11 Behold, days are coming,” A declaration of Lord YHWH, “And I have sent a famine into the land, Not a famine of bread, nor a thirst of water, But of hearing the words of YHWH.
Hatchungnung Pakaiyin aseijin, ‘’Hiche nikho chu ahung lhung’e. Keiman gamsung kel ka lhahsah ding, an leh twi ngaichatna kel hilou ding, amavang, Pakai thusei jah ding ngaichatna kel hiding ahi.
12 And they have wandered from sea to sea, And from north even to east, They go to and fro to seek the word of YHWH, And they do not find [it].
Miho, twikhanglen khat’a kon’a adang khat’a kitol leuva, chuleh gamkhat’a kon’a gamdang khat’a chediu, Pakai thusei jah ding holna-a, lhaito jeng jung diu. Ahivanga, amahon ahol’u chu amu louhel diu ahi.
13 In that day the beautiful virgins, And the young men, faint with thirst.
Hiche nikho chuleh, nungah melhoitah holeh golhang thahatlai hojong Pakai thu jahding ngaicha-a lhulham soh diu ahi.
14 Those swearing by the guilt of Samaria, And who have said, Your god lives, O Dan, And, The way of Beer-Sheba lives, Indeed, they have fallen and do not rise again!”
Chuleh Samaria khopia jumlehja um doi ho’a kihahsel’a, Dan pathen min’a kihahselho, chuleh Beersheba pathen min’a kitepna bol ho, abonchauva kipallhu gan hel diu, a itih’a, thoukit talou hel diu ahi,’’ ati.
