Amos 9

1 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.

I saw the Lord standing on the altar: and he said, Smite the mercy-seat, and the porch shall be shaken: and cut through into the heads of all; and I will slay the remnant of them with the sword: no one of them fleeing shall escape, and no one of them, striving to save himself shall be delivered.

2 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)

Though they hid themselves in hell, thence shall my hand drag them forth; and though they go up to heaven, thence will I bring them down. (Sheol h7585)

3 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.

If they hide themselves in the top of Carmel, thence will I search [them] out and take them; and if they should go down from my presence into the depths of the sea, there will I command the serpent, and he shall bite them.

4 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.

And if they should go into captivity before the face of their enemies, there will I command the sword, and it shall slay them: and I will set mine eyes against them for evil, and not for good.

5 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.

And the Lord, the Lord God Almighty, [is he] that takes hold of the land, and causes it to shake, and all that inhabit it shall mourn; and its destruction shall go up as a river, and shall descend as the river of Egypt.

6 Pakaiyin vanchung chu chennan aneijin, 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.

[It is he] that builds his ascent up to the sky, and establishes his promise on the earth; who calls the water of the sea, and pours it out on the face of the earth; the Lord Almighty is his name.

7 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.

Are not ye to me as the sons of the Ethiopians, O children of Israel? saith the Lord. Did I not bring Israel up out of the land of Egypt, and the Philistines from Cappadocia, and the Syrians out of the deep?

8 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.

Behold, the eyes of the Lord God are upon the kingdom of sinners, and I will cut it off from the face of the earth; only I will not utterly cut off the house of Jacob, saith the Lord.

9 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.

For I [will] give commandment, and sift the house of Israel among all the Gentiles, as [corn] is sifted in a sieve, and [yet] a fragment shall not in any wise fall upon the earth.

10 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.

All the sinners of my people shall die by the sword, who say, Calamities shall certainly not draw near, nor come upon us.

11 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.

In that day I will raise up the tabernacle of David that is fallen, and will rebuild the ruins of it, and will set up the parts thereof that have been broken down, and will build it up as in the ancient days:

12 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.

that the remnant of men, and all the Gentiles upon whom my name is called, may earnestly seek [me], saith the Lord who does all these things.

13 “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.

Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, when the harvest shall overtake the vintage, and the grapes shall ripen at seedtime; and the mountains shall drop sweet wine, and all the hills shall be planted.

14 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.

And I will turn the captivity of my people Israel, and they shall rebuild the ruined cities, and shall inhabit [them]; and they shall plant vineyards, and shall drink the wine from them; and they shall form gardens, and eat the fruit of them.

15 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.

And I will plant them on their land, and they shall no more be plucked up from the land which I have given them, saith the Lord God Almighty.
