< Amos 3 >

1 Hear ye this word, which Yahweh hath spoken, concerning you, ye sons of Israel, —concerning the whole family which I brought up out of the land of Egypt saying: —
Israel ca nangmih taeng neh Egypt khohmuen lamloh ka khuen te koca boeih taengah BOEIPA loh hekah ol a thui he a hnatun uh.
2 Only you, have I acknowledged, of all the families of the ground, For this cause, will I visit upon you all your iniquities.
Diklai koca boeih lamloh nang bueng te kan ming. Te dongah namah kah thaesainah boeih te namah taengah kan cawh ni.
3 Can two walk together, —except they meet?
A tuentah pawt atah rhenten cet rhoi noek a?
4 Will a lion roar in the forest, when, prey, he hath none? Will a young lion utter his voice out of his den, when he hath made no capture?
Duup kah sathueng a kawk vaengah amah ham maeh om het mahpawt nim? A khuisaek kah te a tuuk pawt atah sathueng loh a ol a huel bal nim?
5 Will a bird fall upon a net to the earth, when there is no, snare, for it? Will a net rise from the ground, when it hath, captured nothing?
Anih hamla hlaeh a om pawt lalah vaa ke diklai kah pael dongah tla aya? Diklai lamkah pael loh a boh phoeiah tah a tuuk rhoe a tuuk moenih a?
6 Or a horn be blown in a city, and, a people, not tremble? Or calamity happen in a city, and, Yahweh, not have wrought with effect?
Khopuei ah tuki a ueng lalah pataeng pilnam he lakueng het mahpawt nim? Khopuei khuiah yoethae a pai lalah pataeng BOEIPA loh saii het mahpawt nim?” a ti.
7 Surely My Lord Yahweh, will do, nothing, —except he have disclosed his secret unto his servants, the prophets!
A baecenol te a sal tonghma rhoek taengah a phoe mueh la ka Boeipa Yahovah loh hno a saii noek moenih.
8 A lion, hath roared, Who will not fear? My Lord Yahweh, hath spoken, Who can forbear to prophesy?
Sathueng a kawk lalah ulong a rhih pawt eh? Ka Boeipa Yahovah loh a thui lalah unim aka tonghma pawt pai eh?
9 Announce it over the palaces in Ashdod, and over the palaces in the land of Egypt, —and say ye—Gather yourselves together upon the mountains of Samaria, and behold ye—the great disorders in the midst thereof, and the oppressed within her.
Ashdod kah impuei taeng neh Egypt khohmuen kah impuei taengah yaak sak. Te vaengah, “Samaria tlang ah tingtun uh,” ti nah. So uh lah, a khui kah soekloeknah neh a laklung kah hnaemtaeknah tah yet coeng.
10 Therefore do they not know how to do right, Declareth Yahweh, who are treasuring up violence and spoil in their palaces.
BOEIPA kah olphong, oldueng vai ham khaw ming uh pawh. A impuei ah kuthlahnah neh rhoelrhanah a kael uh.
11 Therefore—Thus, saith My Lord, Yahweh, An adversary! Yea round about the land, —and he who shall bring down, from thee, thy strength, And spoiled shall be thy palaces.
Te dongah ka Boeipa Yahovah loh he ni a thui. Rhal neh khohmuen kaepvai long khaw nang te n'suntlak thil vetih na sarhi neh na impuei te a poelyoe ni.
12 Thus, saith Yahweh, Just as a shepherd rescueth, out of the mouth of the lion, a couple of shankbones, or the tip of an ear, so, shall be rescued the sons of Israel, who are tarrying in Samaria, in the corner of the divan, and on the damask of the luxurious couch.
BOEIPA loh he ni a thui. Boiva aka dawn long tah sathueng ka dongkah te a kho rhoi mai khaw, a hna vang mai khaw, a huul pah bangla Samaria kah baiphaih kil neh Damasku soengca ah aka ngol Israel ca rhoek te a huul uh van ni.
13 Hear ye and bear witness, throughout the house of Jacob, —Commandeth My Lord, Yahweh, God of hosts:
Hnatun uh lamtah Jakob imkhui te rhalrhing sak uh. He tah ka Boeipa Yahovah, caempuei Pathen kah olphong ni.
14 That, in the day I visit the transgressions of Israel upon him, then will I punish, concerning the altars of Bethel, So shall the horns of the altar, be broken off, and they shall fall to the ground;
A soah Israel kah boekoeknah ka cawh hnin ah ngawn tah Bethel hmueihtuk te ka cawh bal ni. Te vaengah hmueihtuk ki khaw tlawt vetih diklai la yalh ni.
15 And I will smite the winter house along with the summer house, —and the houses of ivory, shall be destroyed! and the great houses, shall disappear, Declareth Yahweh.
Te phoeiah sikca im khaw khohal im neh ka top ni. Te vaengah vueino im rhoek te poo uh vetih im len rhoek khaw khoengvoep uh ni.
