< 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: —
Pakaiyin nangho douna thu asei hi ngai jun, Vo Israel leh Judah mite, keiman Egypt gam’a kon’a kahin puidoh na insung pumpi douna-a kisei ahi.
2 Only you, have I acknowledged, of all the families of the ground, For this cause, will I visit upon you all your iniquities.
“Leiset chung mihem insung jouse lah’a, keiman nangho bou kahet nahiuve. Hijeh’a chu na themmo nau jouse chung’a, tei tu ding nahiuve”
3 Can two walk together, —except they meet?
Ajotna ding mun kihoutoh masa louva, mini lampi khat’a kijot khom thei mong hinam?
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?
Neh ding kimat masah louva, gammang noija sakei bahkai hutum ngai am? Chuleh aneh ding ima kimat louva, sakei bahkai nou jong peng mong hinam?
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?
Anchah beija kikam thang’a, vacha oh thei mong ding ham? Achonpil umlouva tol’a thang kikam chu kipil thei ding ham?
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?
Gal ginna pengkul kimut teng, khopi mite tija louva umthei ding ham? Pakaiyin abol louva ahileh khopi chung’a thilse moh lhun thei ding ham?
7 Surely My Lord Yahweh, will do, nothing, —except he have disclosed his secret unto his servants, the prophets!
Dihtah mong in, Hatchungnung Pakaiyin, alhacha themgao ho henga phongdoh masa louvin, imacha aguh in abol hih hel e.
8 A lion, hath roared, Who will not fear? My Lord Yahweh, hath spoken, Who can forbear to prophesy?
Sakei bahkai akitumtai, hijeh chun, koiham akicha lou ding? Hatchungnung Pakaiyin thu asei tai, hijeh chun, koiham Pakai thuseiphong jal lou ding?
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.
Hiche thuhi, Ashdod mipite leh lamkaite heng’a phongjal un, chuleh Egypt gamsung a milen milal ho heng’a sei phong leuvin. Tun, nangho Samaria leh akimvel’a molchung dung a hung kikhom uvin lang, Israel mite kibol gentheina leh acheh chao nau hi hungve uvin” ati.
10 Therefore do they not know how to do right, Declareth Yahweh, who are treasuring up violence and spoil in their palaces.
Pakaiyin aseiye, “Kamiten thudihtah’a thil bolje ahaimiltauve. Akulpi hou jong, pumhat leh guchat’a kichom khom nei leh gou dimset in akholkhom tauvin ahi.
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.
Hijeh chun Hatchungnung Pakaiyin aseiye, “Melma na kidoupi khat ahung kon’e. Aman gamsung pumpi aumchah kheh ding, kivenna pal ho jong aloichim ding, chuleh akulpiu jouse jong asuh chim ding ahi.”
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.
Pakaiyin hitin aseiye, “Kelngoi chingpan sakei bahkai kam sunga kon’a kalngoi huhdoh agot’a, akeng teni leh abilkol khatseh bou achulhah ham ham ji bang a, Samaria khopi a nomsa tah’a cheng Israel chate leh Damascus khomite chu, alupnau jalkhun ningchong kah’a abong abaiya kiloidoh ding ahiuve.
13 Hear ye and bear witness, throughout the house of Jacob, —Commandeth My Lord, Yahweh, God of hosts:
“Ngai uvin, chuleh Israel dounan gamsung pumpia thu gasei jun,” tin, Pakai, van Pathen chun aseiye.
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;
Hche nikho chuleh keiman achonset jal’a Israel chu talen ka matsah ding, Bethel kho’a milimdoi maicham’a saki ka satlhah’a, chuleh maicham phung jong ka suhmang ding ahi.
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.
Chuleh mihaosa hon phalbi-in ding’a asah’u innom tah ho leh nipilai-in dinga asah’u inho jong, chuleh saiha-a kisa leng inpiho jong abon’a ka suhmang ding ahi.
