Amos 9

1 Ka Boeipa te hmueihtuk taengah a pai te ka hmuh. Te vaengah, “Rhaimuem tloek lamtah cingkhaa khaw tuen saeh lamtah te a cungkuem kah lu dongah tim saeh. Amih te hmailong ah cunghang neh ka ngawn ni. Amih te rhaelrham khaw rhaelrham ngoeng pawt vetih a hlangyong tepoenghal mahpawh.

I saw the Lord standing by the altar; and he said: Smite the capital, so that the thresholds shall tremble! Break them in pieces upon the heads of all of them! And their residue will I slay with the sword. He that fleeth of them shall not flee from danger, And he that escapeth of them shall not escape into safety.

2 Saelkhui duela ael uh cakhaw amih te ka kut loh te lamkah a loh ni. Vaan la luei uh cakhaw te lamloh amih te ka suntlak sak ni. (Sheol h7585)

Though they dig down to the under-world, Thence shall my hand take them; Though they climb up to heaven, Thence will I bring them down. (Sheol h7585)

3 Karmel lu ah thuh uh cakhaw te lamloh ka phuelhthaih vetih amih te ka loh ni. Ka mikhmuh dong lamloh tuitunli kah cirhong ah thuh uh cakhaw te lamloh rhul te ka uen vetih amih te a tuk ni.

Though they hide themselves on the top of Carmel, There will I search for them, and take them away; Though they hide themselves from mine eyes in the bottom of the sea, There will I command the serpent, and he shall bite them.

4 A thunkha rhoek mikhmuh ah tamna la cet uh cakhaw te lamloh cunghang te ka uen vetih amih te a ngawn ni. Amih soah a then ham pawt tih thae hamla ka mik ka khueh ni.

Though they go into captivity before their enemies, There will I command the sword, and it shall slay them; I will set mine eyes upon them for evil, and not for good.

5 Ka Boeipa caempuei Yahovah loh diklai he a ben tih paci coeng. Te dongah a khuikah khosa boeih te nguekcoi uh. A pum la sokko bangla phul tih Egypt sokko bangla rhaeng.

For the Lord Jehovah of hosts Is he, that toucheth the earth, and it shall melt, And all that dwell therein shall mourn; All of it shall rise in waves like a river, And shall be overflowed, as by the river of Egypt;

6 Vaan ah a tangtlaeng, a tangtlaeng la aka sa, diklai ah a khoengim aka suen, tuitunli kah tui te a khue tih diklai hman ah aka hawk kah kah a ming tah Yahweh ni.

He that buildeth his upper rooms in the heavens, And foundeth his arch upon the earth, —That calleth the waters of the sea, And poureth them out upon the face of the earth, —Jehovah is his name.

7 Nangmih Israel ca rhoek he kai hamla Kushi ca rhoek banghui moenih a? He tah BOEIPA kah olphong ni. Israel te Egypt kho neh Philisti lamloh, Kaptor neh Aram lamloh, Kir lamloh ka khuen moenih a?

Are ye not as the Ethiopians to me, O children of Israel? saith Jehovah. Did I not bring Israel from the land of Egypt, And the Philistines from Caphtor, and the Syrians from Kir?

8 Ka Boeipa Yahovah kah mik tah hlangtholh kah ram soah a khueh coeng ke. Te ram te diklai maelhmai dong lamloh ka milh sak ni. Te cakhaw Jakob imkhui te ka mit rhoe ka mit sak mahpawh. He tah BOEIPA kah olphong ni.

Behold, the eyes of the Lord Jehovah are upon the sinful kingdom, And I will destroy it from the face of the earth; Yet will I not utterly destroy the house of Jacob, saith Jehovah.

9 Ka uen coeng lah ko ne. Te dongah Israel imkhui te namtom boeih lakli ah vairhuek dongkah a hinghuen bangla ka hinghuen ni. Tedae diklai la khonuen cuhu mahpawh.

For, behold, I will command, And I will sift the house of Israel among all the nations, As one sifteth corn with a sieve, And not a grain shall fall upon the ground.

10 Yoethae he mamih taengla mop pawt vetih n'hum uh mahpawh,” aka ti ka pilnam hlangtholh boeih te cunghang dongah duek uh ni.

But all the sinners of my people shall die by the sword, Who say, Evil shall not approach, nor fall upon us.

11 Te khohnin ah tah David kah dungtlungim aka cungku te ka thoh vetih a puut te ka biing ni. A rhawpnah khaw ka thoh vetih khosuen tue kah bangla te te ka sak ni.

In that day I will raise up the fallen tabernacle of David, And I will close up the breaches thereof, And raise up its ruins, And I will build it, as in the days of old.

12 Te daengah ni Edom kah a meet neh amih taengah ka ming aka khue namtom boeih te a pang uh eh. He tah BOEIPA kah olphong bangla a saii coeng.

That they may possess the remnant of Edom, And all the nations, which shall be called by my name. Thus saith Jehovah, who doeth this.

13 BOEIPA kah olphong hnin ha pai coeng he. Aka thoe te aka at loh, misur aka cawt khaw a tii aka kuel loh a poeng ni. Tlang te thingtui la pha vetih som khaw boeih paci ni.

Behold the days come, saith Jehovah, That the plougher shall draw near to the reaper, And the treader of grapes to the sower of the seed; And the mountains shall drop new wine, And all the hills shall melt.

14 Ka pilnam thongtla Israel te ka mael puei ni. Te vaengah khopuei aka pong te a sak uh vetih kho a sak uh ni. Misurdum te a tawn uh vetih a misurtui te a ok uh ni. Dum a saii uh vetih a thaih te a caak uh ni.

I will bring back the captives of my people Israel, And they shall build the desolate cities, and shall inhabit them; And they shall plant vineyards, and drink their wine; They shall also make gardens, and eat their fruit.

15 Te vaengah amih te amah khohmuen ah ka phung vetih a khohmuen dong lamloh koep phu mahpawh. Na Pathen BOEIPA loh amih taengah, 'Ka paek coeng,’ a ti,” tila a thui.

I will plant them in their land, And they shall no more be rooted up from the land which I have given them, Saith Jehovah, thy God.
