Amos 8
1 This is what YHWH showed me: And look, a basket of summer fruit.
Ka Boeipa Yahovah loh kai te n'tueng vaengah khohal kam boem tarha om.
2 He said, "Amos, what do you see?" I said, "A basket of summer fruit." Then YHWH said to me, "The end has come on my people Israel. I will not again pass by them any more.
Te vaengah, “Amos balae na hmuh?” a ti tih, “Khohal boem,” ka ti nah. Te dongah BOEIPA loh kai taengah, “Ka pilnam Israel kah a bawtnah a pha coeng, anih te poeng hamla koep ka koei mahpawh.
3 The songs of the temple will be wailings in that day," says YHWH. "The dead bodies will be many. In every place they will throw them out with silence.
Khothaih ah bawkim kah laa neh rhung uh ni. Te tah ka Boeipa Yahovah kah olphong ni. Hmuen takuem ah rhok te a huep la muep a voeih ni.
4 Hear this, you who trample the needy, and destroy the poor of the land,
Khodaeng aka hloem tih khohmuen kah mangdaeng kodo aka kangkuen te he he hnatun uh.
5 saying, 'When will the new moon be gone, that we may sell grain? And the Sabbath, that we may market wheat, making the ephah small, and the shekel large, and dealing falsely with balances of deceit;
“Me vaengah nim hla a boeih vetih cangtham n'yoih ve. Sabbath laeh vetih cangpai n'ong laeh mako. Cangnoek khaw rhaidaeng la, shekel khaw a puehkan mai la, thailatnah te cooi aka khun mai la.
6 that we may buy the poor for silver, and the needy for a pair of shoes, and sell the sweepings with the wheat?'"
Tattloel te tangka neh, khodaeng khaw khokhom neh lai ham tih cang hi yoih ham,” a thui.
7 YHWH has sworn by the pride of Jacob, "Surely I will never forget any of their works.
BOEIPA loh Jakob kah hoemdamnah neh a toemngam coeng. Amih kah khoboe boeih te a yoeyah la ka hnilh mahpawh.
8 Won't the land tremble for this, and everyone mourn who dwells in it? Yes, it will rise up wholly like the River; and it will be stirred up and sink again, like the River of Egypt.
He dongah nim diklai a tlai pawt eh? A khuikah khosa boeih loh nguekcoi vetih a pum la sokko bangla phul ni. A samboek tih a sul phoeiah tah Egypt sokko bangla rhaeng ni.
9 It will happen in that day," says YHWH, "that I will cause the sun to go down at noon, and I will darken the earth in the clear day.
Te khohnin ah ka Boeipa Yahovah kah olphong pai ni. Khomik te khothun ah ka tlak sak vetih khothaih khosae ah diklai te ka hmuep sak ni.
10 I will turn your feasts into mourning, and all your songs into lamentation; and I will make you wear sackcloth on all your bodies, and baldness on every head. I will make it like the mourning for an only son, and its end like a bitter day.
Nangmih kah khotue te nguekcoinah la, na lumlaa boeih rhahlung la ka maelh ni. Cinghen tom ah tlamhni kan yen vetih na lu boeih te lungawng la om ni. Anih te oingaih cangloeng kah nguekcoinah bangla, a hmailong te khahing khohnin bangla ka khueh ni.
11 Look, the days come," says YHWH, "that I will send a famine in the land, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the word of YHWH.
Ka Boeipa Yahovah kah olphong hnin pai coeng he. Te dongah diklai ah khokha ka tueih ni. Buh kah khokha pawt tih tui dongah tuihalh bal moenih. Tedae BOEIPA ol yaak nah te ni.
12 They will wander from sea to sea, and from the north even to the east; they will run back and forth to seek the word of YHWH, and will not find it.
Tuitunli lamloh tuitunli duela hinghuen uh ni. BOEIPA ol te tlap hamla tlangpuei lamloh khocuk duela hil uh cakhaw hmu uh mahpawh.
13 In that day the beautiful virgins and the young men will faint for thirst.
Te khohnin ah tah oila sakthen neh tongpang khaw tuihalh dongah saa uh ni.
14 Those who swear by the sin of Samaria, and say, 'As your god, Dan, lives;' and, 'As the way of Beersheba lives;' they will fall, and never rise up again."
Samaria kah dumlai neh aka toemngam rhoek long khaw, “Dan nang kah pathen tah hing tih Beersheba longpuei khaw hing,” ti uh. Tedae cungku vetih koep thoo mahpawh.
