Amos 8
1 Here, My Lord, Yahweh, gave me to see, —and lo! there was a basket of summer fruit.
Ka Boeipa Yahovah loh kai te n'tueng vaengah khohal kam boem tarha om.
2 So then he said, What canst thou see, Amos? And I said, A basket of summer fruit. Then said Yahweh unto me, The end hath come unto my people Israel, I will not again any more forgive them;
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 but palace-songs, shall become howlings, in that day, Declareth My Lord, Yahweh, —Many shall be the dead bodies in every place—cast forth—[with a] hush!
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, ye who pant after the needy, and to make an end of the oppressed of the land:
Khodaeng aka hloem tih khohmuen kah mangdaeng kodo aka kangkuen te he he hnatun uh.
5 Who say, When will the new moon, pass away, that we may sell corn? and the sabbath that we may open grain? who diminish the ephah, and increase the shekel, and who falsify by deceitful weights:
“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 Who buy—for silver—the poor, and the needy for a pair of shoes, —and that the refuse of the grain we may sell.
Tattloel te tangka neh, khodaeng khaw khokhom neh lai ham tih cang hi yoih ham,” a thui.
7 Sworn hath Yahweh, by the Excellency of Jacob, —Surely I will never forget any of their doings!
BOEIPA loh Jakob kah hoemdamnah neh a toemngam coeng. Amih kah khoboe boeih te a yoeyah la ka hnilh mahpawh.
8 Is it not, for this, that the land, shall tremble? and shall mourn every inhabitant therein? Shall it not come up—like the Nile, all of it, and be tossed and subside 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 Yea it shall come to pass, in that day, Declareth My Lord, Yahweh, that I will cause the sun to go in at high noon, —and will darken the earth on a day of brightness!
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 So will I turn your festivals into mourning, and all your songs into a dirge, and I will bring up—on all loins—sackcloth, and upon every head—baldness, —and I will make it like the mourning for an only one, even the afterpart thereof, as a day of bitterness.
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 Lo! days are coming, Declareth My Lord, Yahweh, that I will send a hunger throughout the land, —not a hunger for food, nor a thirst for water, but for hearing the words of Yahweh;
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 Therefore shall men rove about—from sea to sea, and from the north even unto sunrise, —they shall run to and fro—seeking the word of Yahweh, but shall 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, shall the fair virgins and the choice young men faint for thirst.
Te khohnin ah tah oila sakthen neh tongpang khaw tuihalh dongah saa uh ni.
14 They who swear by the Guilt of Samaria, and say, As thy God, liveth, O Dan! and, As the Way of Beer-sheba, liveth, shall fall, and shall not rise any more.
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.
