Amos 3
1 Hear this word that the LORD has spoken against you, children of Israel, against the whole family which I brought up out of the land of Egypt, saying:
Aw Israel caanawk, Izip prae hoiah kang zaeh o ih imthung takoh boih, nangcae Angraeng mah thuih ih nangcae misa haih lok hae tahngai oh,
2 “I have only chosen you of all the families of the earth. Therefore I will punish you for all of your sins.”
long ah kaom kaminawk thungah nang khue ni kang panoek: to pongah na sak ih zaehaihnawk boih pongah dan kang paek han.
3 Do two walk together, unless they have agreed?
Palungduehaih om ai ah kami hnik loe nawnto caeh hoi thai tih maw?
4 Will a lion roar in the thicket, when he has no prey? Does a young lion cry out of his den, if he has caught nothing?
Moi kaek ai ah kaipui loe taw ah hang tih maw? Saning kanawk kaipui loe tidoeh caa ai ah thlungkhaw thungah hang tih maw?
5 Can a bird fall in a trap on the earth, where no snare is set for him? Does a snare spring up from the ground, when there is nothing to catch?
Dongh patung ai ah tavaa aman tih maw? Dongh loe tidoeh amaan ai ah angmah koeh ah amkhrawt maw?
6 Does the shofar alarm sound in a city, without the people being afraid? Does evil happen to a city, and the LORD hasn’t done it?
Vangpui thungah mongkah ueng naah, kaminawk zii ai ah om o tih maw? Vangpui thung ih raihaih loe Angraeng mah na ai maw ohsak?
7 Surely the Lord GOD will do nothing, unless he reveals his secret to his servants the prophets.
Angraeng Sithaw mah tamquta hoi sak atim ih hmuen to a tamna tahmaanawk khaeah thui ai ah, tih hmuen doeh sah ai.
8 The lion has roared. Who will not fear? The Lord GOD has spoken. Who can but prophesy?
Kaipui hang naah, mi maw zii ai ah kaom? Angraeng Sithaw mah thuih ih lok to thui ai ah, mi maw om thai tih?
9 Proclaim in the palaces at Ashdod, and in the palaces in the land of Egypt, and say, “Assemble yourselves on the mountains of Samaria, and see what unrest is in her, and what oppression is amongst them.”
Ashdod angraeng ohhaih ahmuen ah kaom kaminawk hoi Izip prae angraeng ohhaih ahmuen ah kaom kaminawk khaeah, Samaria ih maenawk nuiah amkhueng oh loe, vangpui thungah kaom pacaekthlaekhaih to khen oh, tiah a naa.
10 “Indeed they don’t know to do right,” says the LORD, “Who hoard plunder and loot in their palaces.”
Tha patoh hoi a lak o ih hmuenmaenawk to siangpahrang imthung ah patung o; nihcae loe hmuen katoeng sak han panoek o ai, tiah Angraeng mah thuih.
11 Therefore the Lord GOD says: “An adversary will overrun the land; and he will pull down your strongholds, and your fortresses will be plundered.”
To pongah Angraeng Sithaw mah, Misa mah prae to takui khoep ueloe, na thacakhaih to amtimsak pacoengah, nang raenghaih ahmuennawk to amro tih, tiah thuih.
12 The LORD says: “As the shepherd rescues out of the mouth of the lion two legs, or a piece of an ear, so shall the children of Israel be rescued who sit in Samaria on the corner of a couch, and on the silken cushions of a bed.”
Angraeng mah, Tuutoep kami mah kaipui pakha thung ih tuu ih khok hnetto maw, to tih ai boeh loe naa ahap maw a lomh pae let thaih baktih toengah, Samaria iihkhun takii ah kaom Israel hoi Damaska ih tangkhang nuiah anghnu Israel kaminawk to la tih, tiah thuih.
13 “Listen, and testify against the house of Jacob,” says the Lord GOD, the God of Hosts.
Nangcae mah lok hae tahngai oh loe, Jakob imthung takoh khaeah hae lok hae thui paeh, tiah misatuh kaminawk ukkung Sithaw, Angraeng Sithaw mah thuih.
14 “For in the day that I visit the transgressions of Israel on him, I will also visit the altars of Bethel; and the horns of the altar will be cut off, and fall to the ground.
Angmacae sakpazaehaih baktiah Israel danpaekhaih niah, Bethel ih hmaicamnawk to kam rosak han; hmaicam ih takiinawk to amro tih, to naah takiinawk long ah krah o tih.
15 I will strike the winter house with the summer house; and the houses of ivory will perish, and the great houses will have an end,” says the LORD.
Sik tue ih im hoi nipui tue ih im to ka phraek han; tasaino hoiah sak ih imnawk to anghmaa ueloe, kalen parai imnawk doeh amro tih, tiah Angraeng mah thuih.
