Amos 9
1 Yahweh [showed me another vision. In the vision, ] I saw him standing next to the altar. He said, “Shake the tops of the pillars [of the temple], until they become loose and fall down, so that even the foundation will shake. Then cause the [pieces of the temple] to fall down on the people [who are inside]. I will kill with a sword anyone who [tries to] flee; no one will escape.
Keiman Pakai chu maicham phung kom’a adin kamun, Aman hitin aseiye, “Hou-in pumpi chu, akibulphuna jouse geija achimlhah kahsen, akingapna khompi ho jouse chu jep jep jeng inlang, intingvum, Chuleh athimoh ahingdoh chengse jong chu, keiman chemjam’a kasatlih soh hel ding, koimacha ajamdoh umlouhel ding ahiuve.
2 If they dig deep pits in the ground, or if they try to climb up to the sky [in order to escape], I will reach out and grab them. (Sheol h7585)
Amahon noimigam geijin leiko kilaiju jong leh, keiman noimigam’a kon’a amaho kahin kaidoh diu ahi. Chuleh vanchung geijin amaho kaldoh’u jong leh, keiman van’a kon’a amaho ka kailhah diu ahi. (Sheol h7585)
3 If they go to the top of Carmel [Mountain] to escape, I will search for them and seize them. If they [try to] hide from me at the bottom of the sea, I will command the [huge] sea monster to bite them.
Chuleh Carmel molsang vum’a amaho gakisel jongleu, hikom’a jong chu keiman amaho kaholdoh’a, kakaidoh diu ahi. Twikhanglen noilam peh’a amaho gakisel jong leu, Keiman gulpi ka sol’a, aga chuh den diu ahikit’e.
4 If their enemies [capture them and] force them to go to other countries, I will command that they be killed there with swords. I am determined [IDM] to get rid of them, not to help them.”
Chuleh amelma teuvin amaho chu sohchang in tolmang jong leu, keiman chemjam choiho katildoh’a, asatlih gam hel diu ahi. Hiche ahi, koiman amaho chunga manthahna kapohlut ding, chu teng mihem koiman amaho chu apanpi thei louhel diu ahi.
5 When the Commander of the armies of angels touches the earth, it melts, and all over the earth [many people die, and the others] mourn for them. [It is as though] Yahweh causes the earth repeatedly to rise and fall like [SIM] the Nile [River] rises and falls.
Pakai van Pathen in Leiset chung a tohkhah leh ajunlha jeng in, chuleh leiset chung cheng jouse alunghem lha jeng uvin ahi. Ajeh chu, twiso pet’a, Nile vadung kinuh lap lap’a akhantou bang in, gamsung pumpi jong akhang teltul in, chuin akemsuh kit in ahi.
6 He builds his [beautiful] palace in heaven, and sets/causes the sky to be like a dome over the earth. He scoops up the water from the ocean and [puts it into clouds], and then empties [the clouds] onto the earth. His name is Yahweh.
Pakaiyin vanchung chu chennan aneiyin, leiset chunghi, aman kengto ngapnan akisem’e. Aman twikhanglen ho’a kon in, twi akoukhom in, leiset chunga go in ahinsunglha kit in ahi. Ama hi, amin Pakai ahi.
7 And Yahweh says, “You people of Israel, you are certainly [RHQ] [now no more important to me] than the people of Ethiopia. I brought your [ancestors] here from Egypt, but I also brought the people of Philistia from Crete [Island], and I brought the people of Syria from the Kir [region].
Pakaiyin hitin aseiye, “Vo Israel chate, nangho hi, Ethiopia mite sang’a keiman ka khohsah joh ding’a na kigel’u ham? Keiman Israel chu Egypt gam’a kon’a kahinpui doh’a, chuleh Philistine mite jong chu Crete gam’a kon’a keima man kahin puidoh hilou ham? Chuleh Syria mite chu, Kir gam’a kon’a ka hin puidoh ahiuve.
8 I [SYN], Yahweh the Lord, have seen that you people in the kingdom [of Israel] are very sinful, so I will (destroy you/wipe you off the earth). But I will not get rid of all you descendants [MTY] of Jacob. [That is what will surely happen because] I, Yahweh, have said it.
Keima thaneipen Pakaiyin, Israel mite achonset nau kavelhi jingin ahi. Keiman leiset chunga kon’a amaho hi ka suhmang hel ding ahi,’’ tin Pakaiyin aseiye.
9 When I command it, [it will be as though] I will shake you Israeli people [who are living] in various nations, like [MET] [a farmer] shakes a sieve [to separate] the stone pebbles [from the grain], in order that they do not fall on the ground [with the grain].
Ajeh chu keiman thupeh kanei ding, midangho kibolna banga, kami Israelte jong, tengsa-a changchi kilohchil banga ka lochil ding, amavang changtah khat jong tol’a lhahsah louva kakoi ding ahi.
10 From among my people, all you sinful people who say, ‘We will not experience disasters; nothing evil will happen to us,’ will be killed by [your enemies’] swords.”
Chuleh chonset bol jouse abon'uva chemjam’a thisoh hel diu, Thilsen eiho eipha pouvinte, tia seilele ho jouse jong, abon'uva thisoh heldiu ahi.
11 “The kingdom [over which King] David [ruled has been destroyed, like] [MET] a house that collapsed and then became ruins. But some day I will cause it to be a kingdom again. I will cause it to prosper again just like it did previously.
Hiche nikho chuleh keiman alhusa David lenggam chu kaphoh ding’a, katundoh kit ding ahi. Akulpi bangsesa ho kasemphat kit ding, chuteng achimsa jouse ka sahphat kit ding, chuleh aloupina mangsa chu ka tundoh kit ding ahi.
12 When that happens, your [armies] will seize/capture the remaining part of Edom [region] again, and they will also seize the land in other nations that previously belonged to me [MTY]. I, Yahweh, have said [that I will do these things], and I will certainly cause them to happen.
Chuteng, Edom mi ahingdoh chengse chu Israel mite chang diu, chuleh kamin’a kihou namtin vaipi jouse jong abon’a alotha diu ahi. Pakaiyin aseidohsa chu aboldoh tei ding ahi.
13 There will be a time [when your crops will grow very well]. Very soon after the crops are harvested, farmers will plow the ground [to plant more crops in it again], and soon after the vineyards are planted, [farmers will harvest] grapes and tread on them [to make wine]. [And because there will be a lot of] wine, [it will seem as though] wine is flowing down from the hills [DOU].
“Nikho ahung lhung’e’’ tin Pakaiyin aseiye, “Lousoh ga leh lengpi ga ho, hetman louva khangloi loi uva, chang-atpa leh lengpitwi chilpa aphah thu ding ahi. Chuteng molleh lhang jousea lengpitwi dimsoh’a, lengpitwi lhum chu hoh banga longlha ding ahi.
14 I will cause you, my Israeli people, to prosper again. You will rebuild your towns and live in them. You will plant vineyards and then drink the wine [made from the grapes that grows in them].
Keiman gamlatah’a sohchang kamite kahin lepuilut kitding, chuleh amahon khopi gemsa ho asahphat kit uva, chenna aneidiu ahi. Amahon lengpilei akibol’uva, amaho lengpitwi adon diu, chuleh honlei akibol uva, amaho lousoh ga aneh diu ahi.
15 I will enable you to live [MET] in your land again, the land that I gave to [your ancestors], and never again will you be forced to leave it. [That is what will surely happen because] I, Yahweh, have said it.”
Chuteng keiman amaho chu agamsunguva dettah’a ka chensah’a, ka phudet ding, Amaho kapehna gamsung’a kon’a, avel’a kikaidoh kitlouheldiu ahi, tin Pathen in aseiye.
