Amos 7
1 Thus the Lord GOD showed me: behold, he formed locusts in the beginning of the shooting up of the latter growth; and behold, it was the latter growth after the king’s harvest.
Hahoi Bawipa Jehovah ni na patue e teh siangpahrang hane, canga kamtawng hoi cang bout a pawnae tueng navah samtongnaw hah a tâco sak.
2 When they finished eating the grass of the land, then I said, “Lord GOD, forgive, I beg you! How could Jacob stand? For he is small.”
Hote samtongnaw ni ram pueng thung dawk kaawm e cangnaw hah a ca teh, abaw hnukkhu hoi kai ni oe Bawipa Jehovah, yonnae hah na ngaithoum haw. Jakop teh a thoung dawkvah, bangtelamaw kangdue thai han telah ka pacei navah,
3 The LORD relented concerning this. “It shall not be,” says the LORD.
BAWIPA ni pankângai awh pawiteh hettelah awm mahoeh telah BAWIPA ni a dei.
4 Thus the Lord GOD showed me: behold, the Lord GOD called for judgment by fire; and it dried up the great deep, and would have devoured the land.
Hahoi Bawipa Jehovah ni kai na patue e teh, hmai hoi rek hanelah Bawipa Jehovah ni hmai a kaw teh, tuipui ka dungpoung e hah hmai a kak sak teh ramnaw hai a kak.
5 Then I said, “Lord GOD, stop, I beg you! How could Jacob stand? For he is small.”
Kai ni oe Bawipa Jehovah roum sak leih. Jakop teh a thoung dawkvah bangtelamaw a kangdue thai han ka ti pouh teh,
6 The LORD relented concerning this. “This also shall not be,” says the Lord GOD.
Bawipa Jehovah ni pankângai awh pawiteh, hettelah awm mahoeh telah BAWIPA ni ati.
7 Thus he showed me: behold, the Lord stood beside a wall made by a plumb line, with a plumb line in his hand.
Hahoi na patue e teh bangnuenae rui hah a pabo teh, sak e talung van vah BAWIPA ni a kangdue teh a kut dawk bangnuenae rui patuep na lai hoi,
8 The LORD said to me, “Amos, what do you see?” I said, “A plumb line.” Then the Lord said, “Behold, I will set a plumb line in the middle of my people Israel. I will not again pass by them any more.
Amos nang ni bang e hno maw na hmu telah a pacei teh, kai ni bangnuenae rui hah ka hmu ka ti pouh navah, BAWIPA ni khenhaw! kaie tami Isarel miphunnaw a lungui vah bangnuenae rui ka pabo han. Atu hoi nangmouh bout na ngaithoum mahoeh.
9 The high places of Isaac will be desolate, the sanctuaries of Israel will be laid waste; and I will rise against the house of Jeroboam with the sword.”
Isak e a rasangnae hmuennaw teh, tami kingdi vaiteh, Isarel e hmuen kathoungnaw teh be raphoe e lah ao han. Jeroboam imthungnaw hai tahloi hoi ka tuk han, telah ati.
10 Then Amaziah the priest of Bethel sent to Jeroboam king of Israel, saying, “Amos has conspired against you in the middle of the house of Israel. The land is not able to bear all his words.
Hahoi Bethel vaihma Amaziah, teh Isarel siangpahrang Jeroboam koe ka patoun vaiteh, Amos teh Isarel imthung a lungui vah ama koe lah kahawihoehe pouknae a poe toe. Ahnie lawknaw teh ram ni khang thai mahoeh.
11 For Amos says, ‘Jeroboam will die by the sword, and Israel shall surely be led away captive out of his land.’”
Jeroboam teh tahloi hoi a due han. Isarel miphunnaw teh, a onae ram dawk hoi a pâlei awh han telah Amos ni a dei telah atipouh.
12 Amaziah also said to Amos, “You seer, go, flee away into the land of Judah, and there eat bread, and prophesy there,
Amos koe Ameziah ni oe nang Profet Judah ram dawk yawng leih. Hote ram dawk Profet tawk nateh kho sak leih.
13 but do not prophesy again any more at Bethel; for it is the king’s sanctuary, and it is a royal house!”
Atuhoi Bethel koe lah Profet tawk hanh lawih. Siangpahrang e a thoungnae hmuen doeh. Siangpahrang e im doeh atipouh teh,
14 Then Amos answered Amaziah, “I was no prophet, neither was I a prophet’s son, but I was a herdsman, and a farmer of sycamore figs;
Amos ni kai teh Profet nahoeh. Profet e ca lah hai ka tho hoeh. Saring ka khenyawnkung hoi thailahei kungnaw ka khenyawnkung lah ka o.
15 and the LORD took me from following the flock, and the LORD said to me, ‘Go, prophesy to my people Israel.’
BAWIPA ni tu ka khoumnae koehoi kai hah na rasa teh, nang cet haw. Kaie tami Isarel miphunnaw koe Profet thaw tawk haw telah ati.
16 Now therefore listen to the LORD’s word: ‘You say, Do not prophesy against Israel, and do not preach against the house of Isaac.’
Hatdawkvah, BAWIPA e kâpoe e ka ngâi pouh. Isarel miphunnaw koe lah Profet tawk hanh, Isak imthung koe lah kâtarannae lawk dei pouh hanh.
17 Therefore the LORD says: ‘Your wife shall be a prostitute in the city, and your sons and your daughters shall fall by the sword, and your land shall be divided by line; and you yourself shall die in a land that is unclean, and Israel shall surely be led away captive out of his land.’”
BAWIPA ni a dei e teh, nange na yu teh khothung ka kâyawt e lah ao han. Nange na canu capanaw teh tahloi hoi a due han. Ayânaw ni nange talai teh, rui payang vaiteh a kârei awh han. Nang teh kakhin e ram dawk na due han. Isarel miphunnaw teh a onae ram dawk hoi a pâlei awh hah telah Amaziah koe a dei pouh.
