< Amos 6 >

1 Woe to those who are at ease in Zion, and to those who are secure on the mountain of Samaria, the notable men of the chief of the nations, to whom the house of Israel come!
Ohe ada nahiuve, Jerusalem khopia nomsatah’a chengho, chuleh Samaria khopia lungmong tah’a khosa ho! Namtin vaipi lah’a naminthang lheh’un, chuleh mihon napanpina ngaichan nakom a ahung jiuve.
2 Go to Calneh, and see. From there go to Hamath the great. Then go down to Gath of the Philistines. Are they better than these kingdoms? Is their border greater than your border?
Amavang Calneh lhang galkaijun vetem un, chuteng Hamath khopilen a chun chepaijun, chuleh Philistine khopi Gath a jong chesuh un, nangho amaho sang’a phajo nahideh pouve, vetem un, amaho iti manthah hitauvem!
3 Alas for you who put far away the evil day, and cause the seat of violence to come near,
Nanghon nachung uva hamsetna hunglhung vahlou dingin nagel’un, ahinlah, pumhat’a nathilbol’u chun thutanna nikho chu nakiloilut loijiuve.
4 who lie on beds of ivory, and stretch themselves on their couches, and eat the lambs out of the flock, and the calves out of the middle of the stall,
Ohe ada nahiuve, saiha-a kisem jalkhun’a kijamlea, chuleh nomtah’a kijaole ho, Kelngoinou lah’a adei dei kitha-a neho, chuleh bonghon lah’a athao adei lailai kitha-a neho,
5 who strum on the strings of a harp, who invent for themselves instruments of music, like David;
Nanghon selangdah tum ging toh thon lakoila pou nasa uvin, chuleh kithepsah tah in David umchan na tho uvin, tumging thei manchah nakisem thu’uve.
6 who drink wine in bowls, and anoint themselves with the best oils, but they are not grieved for the affliction of Joseph.
Nanghon khon dim dim in lengpitwi nadon’un, chuleh thao namtwi pen nakinu uvin, Na nampiu manthah chu lunggim nan nanei pouve.
7 Therefore they will now go captive with the first who go captive. The feasting and lounging will end.
Hijeh’a chu, nangho gal-hing’a sohchang masapen’a napan diu, chutah leh nomtah’a khosaho chu, anopsahnau abon’a beisoh hel ding ahi.
8 “The Lord GOD has sworn by himself,” says the LORD, the God of Armies: “I abhor the pride of Jacob, and detest his fortresses. Therefore I will deliver up the city with all that is in it.
Hatchungnung Pakai chu, amatah min in akihahsel in, chuleh Pakai van Pathen ahina chun hitin aseiye, “Israel mite louchalna kaho in, chuleh akulpi sem’u jong ka kidah’e. Hijeh chun, hiche khopi leh asunga um chengse abon’a, amelmateu kapehdoh ding ahi,’’ ati.
9 It will happen that if ten men remain in one house, they will die.
Ijemtia insung khat’a ahingdoh mison khat aum nahlai leh, amaho jong chu abonchauva thisoh hel diu ahi.
10 “When a man’s relative carries him, even he who burns him, to bring bodies out of the house, and asks him who is in the innermost parts of the house, ‘Is there yet any with you?’ And he says, ‘No;’ then he will say, ‘Hush! Indeed we must not mention the LORD’s name.’
Insung mikhattou, amopohna dung jui'a asopu thisaho govam ding kigo-a, insunga kon’a lhilongho ahinputdoh phatleh, insungmi ahingdoh pen kom’a chu, midang jong um nalaijem? tia adoh khah leh, ama chun kihahsel’a “Aum poi, pao poh hih in! Pakai chu amin jeng jong iphah pohlou hel diu ahibouve,’’ ati ding, apho ding ahi.
11 “For, behold, the LORD commands, and the great house will be smashed to pieces, and the little house into bits.
Ajeh chu vetan, in loupitah tah hojong ahalsi sia kisugep ding, chuleh in neocha cha hojong kivo goisoh hel ding ahiuve,’’ tin Pakaiyin thupeh anei tai.
12 Do horses run on the rocky crags? Does one plow there with oxen? But you have turned justice into poison, and the fruit of righteousness into bitterness,
Songpi chunga khu sakolte chomle le thei mong’a, hiche lah chu bongchal in loukaina-a akaithei mong ding ham? Hitobang chun, nanghon ngolhoi tah in, thu adih’a kitan chu thina gu-twi na sosah uvin, chuleh adihtah’a hung ga doh twitah chu nehmohel khacheh-chuh na sodoh gam tauvin ahi.
13 you who rejoice in a thing of nothing, who say, ‘Have not we taken for ourselves horns by our own strength?’
Chuleh nanghon Lo-debar chunga nagaljonau chu nakithang-at piuvin, kiletsahtah in, eihon eiho thahat’a karnaim chu ilah’u hilou ham? na kitiuve.
14 For, behold, I will raise up against you a nation, house of Israel,” says the LORD, the God of Armies; “and they will afflict you from the entrance of Hamath to the brook of the Arabah.”
“Vo Israel mite, nangho douding melma namkhat katildoh ding ahi,’’ tin Pakai van Pathen chun aseiye. ‘’Amahon nangho nagamsung uva nasuh genthei diu, sahlam’a Leb-hamath apat noilam’a Arabah phaicham geija nasuh genthei diu ahi,’’ati.
