Amos 8
1 Hatchungnung Pakaiyin, hicheng hi, themgao thilmun keima eivetsah e. Hichu nipilaija theiga-min longkai khat dimset in akitung e.
And behold a fowler's basket.
2 Hichun aman eidong in, “Amos ipi namu em?” eiti. Ken jong ka donbut in, “Longkai khat dimset nipilai theiga-min kamui’’ kati. Chuphat in Pakaiyin asei tai,’’ Hiche theiga-min namu bang’a hi, kami Israelte jong akichaina diu phat hunglhung ahitai. Keiman achunguva talen kamatsah ding hi, kakhongai tahlou ding ahi.
And he said, What seest thou, Amos? And I said, A fowler's basket. And the Lord said to me, The end is come upon my people Israel; I will not pass by them any more.
3 Hiche nikho chuleh, houin’a la kisa hojong abon’a kana la sohgam ding, mithi tampi khopisung muntin’a thang jeng ding ahi. Hiche hi keima thaneipen Pakaiyin ka sei doh ahitai.
And the ceilings of the temple shall howl in that day, saith the Lord God: [there shall be] many a fallen one in every place; I will bring silence upon [them].
4 Hichehi ngai uvin, nanghon vaichate nachom gam’un, chuleh tahlelte kengchot phan nanei uve.
Hear now this, ye that oppress the poor in the morning, and drive the needy ones by tyranny from the earth,
5 Nanghon, cholngah nikho hunglhun ding nangah lel un, houthua kut kibol nikho hojong kichaidoh loihen, natiuve. Ajeh chu, nanghon thil tena dihlou nasem’un, chang leh suhlou chang ho, aman val val in mi nachohsah uvin, thilcho leh thiljoh hojong jou leh nal in nalhemlha uvin ahi.
saying, When will the month pass away, and we shall sell, and the sabbath, and we shall open the treasure, to make the measure small, and to enlarge the weight, and make the balance unfair?
6 Nanghon, changsi tol’a kiseplha toh changtah nachoh hel’un, hichu najoh’un, chuteng vaicha leh tahlelte chu soh din dangka pehkhat pouvin na kichoh un, chuleh kengchot tokhat poutoh nalheh’un ahi.
That we may buy the poor for silver, and the needy for shoes; and we will trade in every kind of fruit.
7 Tun, Pakai Israel Pathen chu, ama leh ama akihahsel in, “A itih’a jong, na thilse bolho kahaimil lou hel ding ahi.
The Lord swears against the pride of Jacob, None of your works shall ever be forgotten.
8 Hiche jeh’a chu, gamsung pumpi ling kihot banga killing ding, chuleh gamsung chu Nile vadung twi solai banga, hung kinuh sang ding chuleh kemsuh kitding ahi’’, ati.
And shall not the land be troubled for these things, and shall not every one who dwells in it mourn? whereas destruction shall come up as a river, and shall descend as the river of Egypt.
9 “Hiche nikho chuleh, keiman sunlaiya nisa kalhumsah ding, chuleh sunchang laiya leiset chung mu ka thimsah ding ahi,” tin thanei pen Pakaiyin aseiye.
And it shall come to pass in that day, saith the Lord God, [that] the sun shall go down at noon, and the light shall be darkened on the earth by day:
10 Chuleh, golvah kut nabol jouseu kaleh maona-a ka heidoh peh ding, la nasah jouseu jong kala-a ka heidoh peh ding nahiuve. Nanghon, thi-op pon nakisil uva, lunghem jeh’a amitakip nalu nahotol diu, Nachapa khatseh na neisun thijeh’a lunghem bang’a kalha diu, Hiche nikho chu iti lainat um hitam!’’tin Pakaiyin aseiye.
and I will turn your feasts into mourning, and all your songs into lamentation; and I will bring up sackcloth on all loins, and baldness on every head; and I will make them as the mourning of a beloved [friend], and those with them as a day of grief.
11 Hatchungnung Pakaiyin aseijin, ‘’Hiche nikho chu ahung lhung’e. Keiman gamsung kel ka lhahsah ding, an leh twi ngaichatna kel hilou ding, amavang, Pakai thusei jah ding ngaichatna kel hiding ahi.
Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, that I will send forth a famine on the land, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but a famine of hearing the word of the Lord.
12 Miho, twikhanglen khat’a kon’a adang khat’a kitol leuva, chuleh gamkhat’a kon’a gamdang khat’a chediu, Pakai thusei jah ding holna-a, lhaito jeng jung diu. Ahivanga, amahon ahol’u chu amu louhel diu ahi.
And the waters shall be troubled from sea to sea, and from the north to the east shall [men] run hither and thither, seeking the word of the Lord, and they shall not find [it].
13 Hiche nikho chuleh, nungah melhoitah holeh golhang thahatlai hojong Pakai thu jahding ngaicha-a lhulham soh diu ahi.
In that day shall the fair virgins and the young men faint for thirst;
14 Chuleh Samaria khopia jumlehja um doi ho’a kihahsel’a, Dan pathen min’a kihahselho, chuleh Beersheba pathen min’a kitepna bol ho, abonchauva kipallhu gan hel diu, a itih’a, thoukit talou hel diu ahi,’’ ati.
they who swear by the propitiation of Samaria, and who say, Thy god, O Dan, lives; and, Thy god, O Bersabee, lives; and they shall fall, and shall no more rise again.
