Amos 5
1 Hear ye this word, which, I, am taking up concerning you—even a dirge, O house of Israel.
Vo Israel mite, na chung uva thi-op la kasah khum’u hi ngai cheh tem’un!
2 She hath fallen—she cannot again rise, the virgin, Israel, —she lieth forsaken on her soil, there is none to raise her up.
Nungah tobang Israel chu akiseplhu tai, avel’a dingdoh kitlou dingin tollhanga akijam den tai.
3 For, thus, saith My Lord, Yahweh, The city that goeth out a thousand strong, shall have left it a hundred, —And, that which goeth out a hundred strong, shall have left it ten, belonging to the house of Israel.
Hatchungnung Pakaiyin hitin aseiye, “Galsat mi sangkhat avaikon teng, mi jakhat bou hung kile jia, mi jakhat avaikon teng, mi somkhat bou hingdoh’a hung kile ji ahiuve’’ ati.
4 For, thus, saith Yahweh, to the house of Israel, —Seek me, and live;
Tun, Pakaiyin Israel mite jah’a hitin aseiye,’ “Nahin na diuvin, kahenga hung kilekit tauvin,
5 Then do not seek Bethel, and, Gilgal, shall ye not enter, and, unto Beer-sheba, shall ye not cross over, For, Gilgal, shall, surely go into exile, and, Bethel, shall become a trouble.
Bethel kho’a doi-pathen houdin amaicham phunga cheda uvin, Gilgal leh Beersheba mun’a jong doi houdin lut dauvin. Ajeh chu, Gilgal khomite jong sohchanga kikaimang diu, chuleh Bethel khomite jing imalou soh uva mangthah diu ahi,’’ati.
6 Seek ye Yahweh, and live, —lest he break forth, like a fire, upon the house of Joseph, and it devour with none to quench it, for Bethel.
Nahin na diuvin Pakai kom’a hung kilekit uvin, achuti louleh, Pakai chu Israel chunga meikou kisunkhum banga hung deujah ding, naboncha uva nakah vam diu, Bethel kho’a na-doi-pathen uvin jong hichu aphelmit thei lou ding ahi.
7 Ye who turn, into, wormwood, justice, and, righteousness—to the ground have let fall.
Nanghon thudih chu na heikon un, hesoh gentheite din changkha kine nabah sah’un, Nanghon athudih laitah chu kidah um nasosah’un, tolsenan nanei tauve.
8 [Seek him] who made the Cluster and the Giant, and turneth, into morning, the shadow of death, and who, day into night, doth darken, Him who calleth to the waters of the sea, and poureth them out on the face of the land, Yahweh, is his name:
Pakaiyin ahsi ho asem in, ahsi lah’a Bombel leh Ngambom lungthu jong asem e. Aman muthim lhangkhal jong jingkah khovah asosah in, sunlai nisa jong jan muthim asosah theiye. Aman twikhanglen’a twipi ho achopdoh in, leiset chunga aphilhah sah e. Ama chu amin Pakai kiti ahi.
9 Him who flasheth force on the strong, —and, force, on the fortress, alighteth!
Aman athahat apan in, ahat leh apaote asumang in, akulpi jouseu jong asuhchim peh tai.
10 They hate the man who, in the gate, rebuketh, —and, him who speaketh truthfully, they abhor.
Nanghon thu adih’a tanpa nahot bol’un, thutah seidoh ho jong nadal bol uvin na kidah thouve.
11 Therefore—because ye have trampled on the poor, and, the gift of corn, ye would take away from him, though, houses of hewn stone, ye have built, Yet shall ye not dwell in them, —Though, delightful vineyards, ye have planted, Yet shall ye not drink the wine of them.
Nanghon vaicha gentheite chotphan nanei jun, dihlou tah in kai don nopnan nanei jun, achang jouseu nalah peh jiuve. Hijeh chun, nanghon song-in hoitah tah nakisah vangun, asunga nachen louhel diu ahi. Chuleh lengpilei na deitah’a nabol uva tamtah naphu vang un, hicheho’a kon’a chu nanghon lengpitwi nadon louhel diu ahibouve.
12 For I know how numerous are your transgressions, and how surpassing your sins, —ye adversaries of the righteous! ye acceptors of a bribe! Even the needy in the gate, have they turned away!
Ajeh chu, keiman nasuhkhel u ijat hija, na chonset nau ichan geija nasa ham, ti kahesoh keije. Nangho hi nehguh kilah’a, midih bolgenthei ja pang nahiuve, chuleh thutanna mun’a vaicha tahlelte dihna selmang’a pang nahiuve.
13 Therefore, the prudent man, at that time, will be dumb, —Because an evil time, it is!
Hijeh chun, hitobang phat phatlou laitah’a, akam kihup’a umthim beh chu, milung chingho ahiuve.
14 Seek ye right and not wrong, that ye nay live, —that, so, Yahweh God of hosts, may be with you, as ye have said.
Apha chu ipi ham, hol uvin lang, thilse chu jamsan’un, chutileh nanghon na sei jiu banga, Pakai van Pathen chun na umpi jing thei diu ahi.
15 Hate wrong, and love right, and station, Justice, in the gate, —Peradventure, Yahweh, God of hosts, will be gracious unto the remnant of Joseph.
Thilse hotbol unlang, apha chu ngailuvin; chuleh thutanna munho chu thudih lenna hisah’un, chutileh Pakai van Pathen chun, amite ahingdoh amoh chengse chunga alungsetna akoi ding ahi.
16 Therefore, thus, saith Yahweh, God of hosts, My Lord, In all broadways, shall be lamentation, and, in all streets, shall they say, Alas! Alas! And they shall call the husbandman unto the mourning, and, unto the lamentation, them who know a wailing song;
Hijeh chun Pakai van Pathen chun hitin aseije, khosung leh vengning koilah jousea thi-op ho ka leh mao o-gin dimlha ding, chuleh akap gunset dinga ka-je them hojong akondiu, ahi.
17 Ye, in all vineyards, lamentation, —For I will pass along through thy midst, saith Yahweh.
Lengpilei lai jousea mi kap thum jeju ding, ajeh chu Keiman amaho talen kamatsah’a kasuhgam hel soh ding ahi, tin Pakaiyin aseiye.
18 Alas for them who are longing for the day of Yahweh, —What good to you, is the day of Yahweh? it, being darkness and not light:
Ohe, ada nahiuve! Pakai nikho chu hunglhung taleh tiho. Nanghon Pakai nikho chu ipi tobang ham nahepouve Hiche nikho chun khovah ahinpohlut louhel ding, muthim lhangkhal ahinlhut ding ahibouve.
19 As if a man should flee from the face of a lion, and there should meet him—a bear! or he should have entered the house, and leaned his hand upon the wall, and there should bite him—a serpent!
Hiche nikho chuleh nangho, Pasal khattou sakei bahkai kicha-a ajamleh vompin ana lamtin’a, vompia kon’a ajamdoh kit’a a-insung alhun’a, a-inbanga akingaileh akhut gul’in ahinchuh tobang nahi diu ahi.
20 Shall not the day of Yahweh be, darkness, and not light? yea, thick darkness and no brightness in it?
Chutia chu, Pakai nikho chu muthim leh lungjin nikho hiding, lung navah bei leh kipana beikei nikho hiding ahi.
21 I hate, I despise your festivals, —and can scent no fragrance in your solemn feasts.
Keiman kut nabol jouseu kahon kadei poi, khoppi theng nabol’u jong ka kipah dehpoi. Ajeh chu abon’a atah hilou na bolthu ngen’u ahibouve.
22 Nay, though ye cause to ascend unto me ascending-sacrifices, and your meal-offerings, I will not accept [them], —nor, the peace-offering of your fat heifers, will I regard.
Nanghon pumgo thilto nadeitah’uva nabol’u jong kamit a ka vetpih louhel ding nahiuve.
23 Take thou away from me, the noise of thy songs, —Even the melody of thy harps, will I not hear.
O thong jejua vahchoila nasah’u jong thip doh un, selangdah tampi ngeitah’a nasai ju jong ka ngainom poi.
24 But let, justice, roll along like water, —and, righteousness, as a torrent over flowing.
Chusang in, thudih chu twilong hattah bangin nei musah un, chuleh kanglou twidung bangin chondihna chu lonsah’un.
25 The sacrifices and meal-offering, ye brought near unto me, in the desert, for forty years O house of Israel;
Vo, Israel mite, gamthip noija kum somli sunga chu, kilhaina gantha chuleh thilto chom chom ho chu kahenga nahinchoi jingu hinam?
26 But ye carried the tent of your king-idol, and your Saturn-images, —the star of your gods, which ye made for yourselves:
Ahipoi, nanghon na-doi-pathen’u nalengpau Sakkuth leh ahsi pathen na kisem thu-u bou chu najen’un nahou-ve.
27 Therefore will I carry you into exile beyond Damascus, —saith Yahweh, God of hosts, is his name.
Hijeh’a chu keiman nanghohi Damascus kalpeh’a sohchanga ka kaimang diu nahi tin, Pakaiyin aseiyin, ama min chu Pakai van Pathen ahi.
