< Amos 4 >
1 Listen to this word, you cows of Bashan, you who are in the mountain of Samaria, you who oppress the poor, you who crush the needy, you who say to your husbands, “Bring us drinks.”
He ol he Bashan vaitonu rhoek loh ya uh saeh. Samaria tlang ah tattloel a hnaemtaek uh tih khodaeng te a neet uh. A boei taengah khaw, “Te hang khuen lamtah ka o uh eh,” a ti nauh.
2 The Lord Yahweh has sworn by his holiness, “Look, the days will come on you when they will take you away with hooks, the last of you with fishhooks.
Ka Boeipa Yahovah loh a cimcaihnah neh a toemngam coeng. Nangmih soah khohnin ha pai coeng te. Nangmih te a hlinghang neh n'doek vetih na hmailong kah te khaw ngavaih hling neh a doek ni.
3 You will go out through the breaks in the city wall, each one of you going straight through it, and you will be thrown out toward Harmon —this is Yahweh's declaration.”
Te phoeiah a khaepdan kah huta te tah a puut longah na cet uh vetih Harmon la m'voeih ni. He tah BOEIPA kah olphong ni.
4 “Go to Bethel and sin, to Gilgal and multiply sin, bring your sacrifices every morning, your tithes every three days.
Bethel te kun saeh lamtah boekoek Gilgal loh boekoek hamla yet saeh. Namah kah hmueih te mincang takuem ham neh namah kah parha pakhat te hnin thum ah vai khuen uh.
5 Offer a thanksgiving sacrifice with bread; proclaim freewill offerings; announce them, for this pleases you, you people of Israel —this is the declaration of the Lord Yahweh.
Uemonah te tolrhu la phum uh. moeihoeihnah te pang puei uh lamtah yaak sak. Te dongah Israel ca rhoek te lungnah uh. He tah ka Boeipa Yahovah kah olphong ni.
6 I gave you cleanness of teeth in all your cities and lack of bread in all your places. Yet you have not returned to me —this is Yahweh's declaration.
Kai long khaw nangmih te na khopuei takuem ah no cimnah kam paek tih na hmuen takuem ah buh dongah vaitahnah om dae kai taengla na mael uh moenih. He tah BOEIPA kah olphong ni.
7 I also withheld rain from you when there were still three months to the harvest. I caused it to rain on one city, and caused it not to rain on another city. One piece of land was rained on, but the piece of land where it did not rain dried up.
Nangmih ham tah khonal te cangah duela hla thum koep ka hloh van. Khopuei pakhat dongah ka tlan sak dae khopuei khat dongah ka tlan sak moenih. Lo bong at dongah a tlan vaengah lo bong at dongah tlan pawt tih a soah rhae.
8 Two or three cities staggered to another city to drink water, but were not satisfied. Yet you have not returned to me —this is Yahweh's declaration.
Tui ok ham pataeng khopuei panit pathum te khopuei pakhat taengla a poengdoe uh coeng dongah a cung uh moenih. Tedae kai taengla na mael uh moenih. He tah BOEIPA kah olphong ni.
9 I afflicted you with blight and mildew. The multitude of your gardens, your vineyards, your fig trees, and your olive trees— the locusts devoured them all. Yet you have not returned to me —this is Yahweh's declaration.
Nangmih te mawn neh, dung neh muep kan ngawn coeng. Na dum neh na misur khaw, na thaibu neh na olive khaw lungmul loh a caak coeng. Tedae kai taengla na mael uh moenih. He tah BOEIPA olphong ni.
10 I sent a plague on you as on Egypt. I killed your young men with the sword, carried away your horses, and made the stench of your camp come up to your nostrils. Yet you have not returned to me —this is Yahweh's declaration.
Egypt longpuei kah bangla nangmih taengah duektahaw kan tueih coeng. Na tongpang rhoek te cunghang neh ka ngawn. Na marhang neh tamna la kang khuen tih na rhaehhmuen kah a rhongbo te na hnarhong khui la ka kun sak. Tedae kai taengla na mael uh moenih, he tah BOEIPA kah olphong ni.
11 I overthrew cities among you, as when God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah. You were like a burning stick snatched out of the fire. Yet you have not returned to me —this is Yahweh's declaration.
Pathen kah imrhong- Sodom neh Gomorrah bangla nangmih te kam palet tih hmai khui lamloh a yueh hmaipok bangla na om uh coeng. Tedae kai taengla na mael uh moenih. He tah BOEIPA kah olphong ni.
12 Therefore I will do something terrible to you, Israel; and because I will do something terrible to you, prepare to meet your God, Israel!
Te dongah nang hamla he he ka saii ni. He he nang hamla ka saii ni. Israel nang na Pathen neh hum uh hamla sikim laeh.
13 For, look, he who forms the mountains also creates the wind, reveals his thoughts to mankind, makes the morning darkness, and treads on the high places of the earth. Yahweh, God of hosts, is his name.”
Tlang aka hlinsai tih khohli aka suen, a poeknah te hlang taengah aka phoe, khoyinnah te khothaih la aka saii, diklai hmuensang ah aka cawt kah a ming tah caempuei Pathen Yahweh pai ni.
