Amos 5
1 Listen to this word which I take up for a lamentation over you, O house of Israel.
Oe Isarelnaw, atu nangmouh koe kai ni ka dei e khuinae lawk hah thai awh haw.
2 "The virgin of Israel has fallen; She shall rise no more. She is cast down on her land; there is no one 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 says the LORD: "The city that went forth a thousand shall have a hundred left, and that which went forth one hundred shall have ten left 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 says the LORD to the house of Israel: "Seek me, and you will 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 but do not seek Bethel, nor enter into Gilgal, and do not pass to Beersheba: for Gilgal shall surely go into captivity, and Bethel shall come to nothing.
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 the LORD, and you will live; lest he break out like fire in the house of Joseph, and it devour, and there be no one to quench it in Bethel.
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 turn justice to wormwood, and cast 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 seek him who made Kimah and Kesil, and turns the shadow of death into the morning, and makes the day dark with night; who calls for the waters of the sea, and pours them out on the surface of the earth, the LORD 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 brings sudden destruction on the strong, so that destruction comes on the fortress.
A thakaawmpounge taminaw, imnaw, ka raphoe thai e hah tawng awh.
10 They hate him who reproves in the gate, and they abhor him who speaks blamelessly.
Kho longkha dawkvah lawk ka tâtueng thai e tami hah a hmuhma awh teh, lawkkatang ka dei e hah a panuet awh toe.
11 Forasmuch therefore as you trample on the poor, and take taxes from him of wheat: You have built houses of cut stone, but you will not dwell in them. You have planted pleasant vineyards, but you shall 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 know how many your offenses, and how great are your sins—you who afflict the just, who take a bribe, and who turn aside the needy in the courts.
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 a prudent person keeps silent in such a 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 so the LORD, the God of hosts, will be with you, as you say.
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, love good, and establish justice in the courts. It may be that the LORD, the God of hosts, will be gracious to 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 says the LORD, the God of hosts: "Wailing will be in all the broad ways; and they will say in all the streets, 'Alas. Alas.' and they will call the farmer to mourning, and those who are skillful in lamentation to wailing.
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 In all vineyards there will be wailing; for I will pass through the midst of you," says the LORD.
Misur takhanaw dawk hai a khui awh han. Bangkongtetpawiteh, kai teh nangmae alungui ka cei han telah BAWIPA ni ati.
18 "Woe to you who desire the day of the LORD. Why do you long for the day of the LORD? 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 if a man fled from a lion, and a bear met him; Or he went into the house and leaned his hand on the wall, and a serpent bit 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 Won't the day of the LORD be darkness, and not light? Even very dark, and no brightness in it?
Bawipa e hnin teh ang laipalah a hmo han. Angnae roeroe awm mahoeh. Khoeroe a hmo han.
21 I hate, I despise your feasts, and I can't stand your solemn assemblies.
Nangmae pawinaw hah, kai ni ka hmuhma, ka panuet. Na sak awh e hninnaw dawk hai kai ka nawm hoeh.
22 Yes, though you offer me your burnt offerings and meal offerings, I will not accept them; neither will I regard the peace offerings of your fat animals.
Hmaisawi thuengnae, tavai thuengnae hah na poe nakunghai kai ni ka coe hoeh. Roum thuengnae hai kai ni ka noutna mahoeh.
23 Take away from me the noise of your songs. I will not listen to the music of your harps.
Nangmouh ni la na sak e lawk hai takhoe awh. Ratoung na tum e lawk hai ka thai mahoeh.
24 But let justice roll on like rivers, and righteousness like a mighty stream.
Ka lan lah lawkcengnae hah tui patetlah, lannae hah palang tui athakaawme patetlah lawng sak awh.
25 "Did you bring to me sacrifices and offerings in the wilderness forty years, 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 You took up the tabernacle of Moloch, and the star of your god Rephan, the images that you made to worship them.
Nangmae siangpahrang Sakkut hoi nangmae meikaphawk hoi âsi cathut na sak awh e hah na sin awh toe.
27 Therefore I will exile you beyond Babylon," says the LORD, whose name is the God of hosts.
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.
