< Amos 6 >

1 Sorrow to those who are resting in comfort in Zion, and to those who have no fear of danger in the mountain of Samaria, the noted men of the chief of the nations, to whom the people 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 on to Calneh and see; and from there go to Hamath the great; then go down to Gath of the Philistines: are you better than these kingdoms? or is your land wider than theirs?
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 You who put far away the evil day, causing the rule of the violent 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 are resting on beds of ivory, stretched out on soft seats, feasting on lambs from the flock and young oxen from the cattle-house;
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 Making foolish songs to the sound of corded instruments, and designing 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 Drinking wine in basins, rubbing themselves with the best oils; but they have no grief for the destruction 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 So now they will go away prisoners with the first of those who are made prisoners, and the loud cry of those who were stretched out will come to an 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 taken an oath by himself, says the Lord, the God of armies: the pride of Jacob is disgusting to me, and I have hate for his great houses: so I will give up the town with everything 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 Then it will come about that if there are still ten men in a house, death will overtake them.
Ijemtia insung khat’a ahingdoh mison khat aum nahlai leh, amaho jong chu abonchauva thisoh hel diu ahi.
10 And when a man's relation, even the one who is responsible for burning his body, lifting him up to take his bones out of the house, says to him who is in the inmost part of the house, Is there still anyone with you? and he says, No; then he will say, Keep quiet, for the name of the Lord may not be named.
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 see, at the order of the Lord the great house will be full of cracks and the little house will be broken.
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 Is it possible for horses to go running on the rock? may the sea be ploughed with oxen? for the right to be turned by you into poison, and the fruit of righteousness into a bitter plant?
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 whose joy is in a thing of no value, who say, Have we not taken for ourselves horns by the strength which is ours?
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 see, I will send against you a nation, O Israel, says the Lord, the God of armies, ruling you cruelly from the way into Hamath as far as the stream 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.
