Amos 2
1 Thus saith the LORD: For three transgressions of Moab, yea, for four, I will not turn away the punishment thereof; because he burned the bones of the king of Edom into lime:
BOEIPA loh he ni a thui. Moab kah boekoeknah pathum neh pali dongah anih te ka rhael mahpawh. Anih loh Edom manghai rhuh te lungbok la a tih dongah.
2 but I will send a fire upon Moab, and it shall devour the palaces of Kerioth; and Moab shall die with tumult, with shouting, and with the sound of the trumpet:
Te dongah Moab soah hmai ka tueih vetih Kerioth impuei te a hlawp ni. Te vaengah Moab kah longlonah khuiah tamlung neh, tuki ol neh duek ni.
3 and I will cut off the judge from the midst thereof, and will slay all the princes thereof with him, saith the LORD.
Te dongah, “A khui lamkah lai aka tloek te ka saii vetih a mangpa boeih te amah neh ka ngawn ni,” tila BOEIPA loh a thui.
4 Thus saith the LORD: For three transgressions of Judah, yea, for four, I will not turn away the punishment thereof; because they have rejected the law of the LORD, and have not kept his statutes, and their lies have caused them to err, after the which their fathers did walk:
BOEIPA loh he he ni a thui. Judah kah boekoeknah pathum neh pali dongah anih te ka rhael mahpawh. BOEIPA kah olkhueng te a hnawt tih a oltlueh te a tuem uh moenih. Amih te a napa rhoek kah a hnukah caeh hamla a laithae dongah kho a hmang uh.
5 but I will send a fire upon Judah, and it shall devour the palaces of Jerusalem.
Te dongah Judah soah hmai ka tueih vetih Jerusalem kah impuei a hlawp ni.
6 Thus saith the LORD: For three transgressions of Israel, yea, for four, I will not turn away the punishment thereof; because they have sold the righteous for silver and the needy for a pair of shoes:
BOEIPA loh he ni a thui. Israel kah boekoeknah pathum neh pali dongah anih te ka rhael mahpawh. Amih loh dueng te tangka la, khodaeng te khokhom la a yoih.
7 that pant after the dust of the earth on the head of the poor, and turn aside the way of the meek: and a man and his father will go unto the [same] maid, to profane my holy name:
tattloel kah lu te diklai laipi dongah a thithut uh tih kodo kah longpuei te a mak uh. Tongpa neh a napa loh hula pakhat taengla a caeh thil dongah ka cimcaihnah ming he a poeih.
8 and they lay themselves down beside every altar upon clothes taken in pledge, and in the house of their God they drink the wine of such as have been fined.
Hmueihtuk boeih taengah laikoi himbai neh rhoel uh tih a Pathen im kah lai sah yu te a ok uh.
9 Yet destroyed I the Amorite before them, whose height was like the height of the cedars, and he was strong as the oaks; yet I destroyed his fruit from above, and his roots from beneath.
Kai loh Amori te amih mikhmuh ah ka mitmoeng sak coeng. A sang te lamphai bangla sang tih thingnu bangla tlung sitoe cakhaw a soi kah a thaih neh a hmui kah a yung te ka mit sak.
10 Also I brought you up out of the land of Egypt, and led you forty years in the wilderness, to possess the land of the Amorite.
Kai loh nangmih te Egypt khohmuen lamloh kang khuen tih Amori khohmuen pang sak hamla nangmih te khosoek ah kum sawmli kan pongpa puei.
11 And I raised up of your sons for prophets, and of your young men for Nazirites. Is it not even thus, O ye children of Israel? saith the LORD.
Na ca rhoek lamloh tonghma la, na tongpang rhoek lamkah hlangcoelh la ka pai sak. Te khaw Israel ca kah moenih a? He tah BOEIPA kah olphong coeng ni.
12 But ye gave the Nazirites wine to drink; and commanded the prophets, saying, Prophesy not.
Tedae hlangcoelh rhoek te misurtui na tul uh. Tonghma rhoek te khaw na uen uh tih, “Tonghma boeh ne,” na ti nauh.
13 Behold, I will press [you] in your place, as a cart presseth that is full of sheaves.
Cangpa a bae te leng loh a rhuelh bangla kai loh nangmih te kang rhuelh coeng ne.
14 And flight shall perish from the swift, and the strong shall not strengthen his force, neither shall the mighty deliver himself:
Kapyang lamloh thuhaelnah khaw bing vetih tlungluen kah a thadueng khaw caang mahpawh. Hlangrhalh long khaw a hinglu loeih sak mahpawh.
15 neither shall he stand that handleth the bow; and he that is swift of foot shall not deliver [himself]: neither shall he that rideth the horse deliver himself:
Lii aka muk khaw pai ngoeng pawt vetih a kap aka yanghoep khaw loeih mahpawh. Marhang dongkah aka ngol long khaw a hinglu loeih mahpawh.
16 and he that is courageous among the mighty shall flee away naked in that day, saith the LORD.
Hlangrhalh lakli kah a lungbuei aka rhapsat pataeng te khohnin ah tah pumtling la rhaelrham ni. He tah BOEIPA kah olphong ni.
