< Amos 4 >

1 Hear these words, O ye kine of Bashan, That are on the mountain of Samaria; That oppress the poor; that crush the needy; That say to your master, Bring, and let us drink!
Ka thusei ngaijun, Samaria gam’a cheng bongpi tobang ho, vaicha gentheite bolgim’a chuleh panpi ngaicha geuva um tahlel te noigep gep jiho, Ajiteu pasal ho jah’a,’ “Ju hin dom kit in don’u hite’’ tia peng jah jah vo numei ho!
2 The Lord Jehovah hath sworn by his holiness; Behold, the days shall come upon you When ye shall be taken away with hooks, And your residue with fishing-hooks.
Hatchungnung Pakai chu ama mintheng pan in aki hahsel tai, vetan, na chung’a hiche nikho chu hunglhung ding ahi; Mihon nanah hom uva ngakoi tobang thihkoija na kaimang dingu, Amitakip anukhahpen geija ngakoija na kaimang ding’u ahi.
3 And ye shall go out at the breaches, every one right forward, And ye shall be thrown into a castle, saith Jehovah.
“Nangho kulpi pal chimlha lah’a na jamdoh diu, Na kulpiu sunga kon’a naki sep doh diu ahi,’’ tin Pakaiyin aseiye.
4 Go, now, to Bethel, and transgress; At Gilgal multiply transgression! Bring your sacrifices every morning, And your tithes every three years!
“Cheuvin, Bethel kho’a doihouna kilhaina thilto gabol un, Gilgal kho’a cheuvin, Pathen thungailou vin setna gabolbe be jeng tauvin, Jingkah seh in kilhaina bol un, chuleh nithum lhinseh in na hopsom hinchoi jun,’’
5 Burn a thank-offering from your extortions, And proclaim the free-will offerings; publish them abroad! For this is your delight, ye sons of Israel, Saith the Lord, Jehovah.
“Na changlhah cholsosa chu Pakai thangvahna thilto in toh'in, chu ting, deichom’a nangma kipehna thilto jong pen; chuleh hichu muntin’a phongjal un seichoi le uvin!
6 I also have caused cleanness of teeth in all your cities, And want of bread in all your places; And yet ye have not returned to me, saith Jehovah.
Na khopi jouseu chunga neh leh chah kalhahsam sah in, nachenna mun jouse uva nehding beihel in kalhan, kel ka lhunsah tan, Ahivang in nangho ka henga nahung kiledeh pouve, tin Pakaiyin aseiye.
7 I also have withholden from you the rain three months before the harvest; I have caused it to rain upon one city, And upon another city have I not caused it to rain; One piece of ground hath been rained upon, And another, upon which I have not caused it to rain, hath withered.
Na lousoh ga houvin gotwi angaichat khohlai tah in, go ka juhsah dan, kakham tang tai, Chuleh keiman khopi khat chung’a go kajuhsah in, khopi chomkhat chunga ka juhsah da ji’e. Louma khat chunga go kajuh sah jin, louma chomkhat chunga kajuhsah da ji e.
8 Two or three cities have gone to one city, To drink water, and have not been satisfied; And yet ye have not returned to me, saith Jehovah.
“Hijeh chun, miho chu khopi tin’a donding twi hol in akijot uvin, ahivang in amahon lungna chimset’a donkham twi aga mudoh pouve; Hichan gei hin jong, nangho kahenga nahung kile deh pouve,’’ tin Pakaiyin aseiye.
9 I have smitten you with blasting and mildew; The locust hath devoured your many gardens, Your vineyards, your fig-trees, and your olive-trees; Yet have ye not returned to me, saith Jehovah.
Keiman na honlei chengu leh nalengpi lei chengu chunga thinglung leh nget kachuhsah in; Na theichang phung jouseu leh na Olive phung jouseu jong abon'in khaokhoten anechai soh hel tauvin; Hichan gei hin jong nangho kaheng’a nahung kile deh pouve, tin Pakaiyin aseiye.
10 I have sent among you the pestilence after the manner of Egypt; I have slain your young men with the sword, And your horses have I led into captivity; I have made the smell of your camps to come up into your nostrils; And yet ye have not returned to me, saith Jehovah.
“Egypt gamsunga kana bol bang in, keiman nangho chunga gamna hise kalhalut in; Na golhang jouseu gal in kasat lih soh in, chuleh na sakol jouseu jong akikaimang soh hel tai. Na kimvel’u namse leuvin mithi-ui nanah hom dim in nanah’un, Ahivang in nangho kahenga nahung kilekit deh pouve,’’ tin Pakaiyin aseiye.
11 I have overthrown some of you, as God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah; And ye were as a firebrand plucked out of the burning; And yet ye have not returned to me, saith Jehovah.
‘’Keiman Sodom leh Gomorrah ka suhmang bangin, na khopiu phabep ka sumang in; Nangho ahingdoh amoh chengse jong, meikong lah’a kon’a kikaidoh thingbong bep na hiuvin, Ahivang in nangho kahenga nahung kilekit deh pouve,’’ tin Pakaiyin aseiye.
12 Therefore thus will I deal with thee, O Israel! Yet since I will thus deal with thee, Prepare to meet thy God, O Israel!
Vo Israel, keiman nang jong hitobanga chu kabol ding, hamsetna nasatah nachunga ka lhunsah ding ahi. Hijeh chun, na Pathen toh kimaito din kigong in, vo Israel!
13 For behold, he formed the mountains, and created the wind; He declareth to man what is his thought; He maketh the morning darkness, And walketh upon the high places of the earth; Jehovah, God of hosts, is his name.
Ijeh inem itileh, Pakaiyin molsang jouse atungdoh in, khohui jouse jong anunsah in, chuleh alungngaito ho jong mihem kom’a aphong doh ji e. Aman jingkah khovah leh janlai muthim asemdoh in, chuleh leiset chunga mun sanglai jouse chotphan anei jin ahi. Pakai, van Pathen kiti chu ama min ahi.
