Amos 7
JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
Baibal Olcim (Matupi Chin)
1Thus the Lord GOD showed me; and, behold, He formed locusts in the beginning of the shooting up of the latter growth; and, lo, it was the latter growth after the king's mowings.
1Ka Boeipa Yahovah loh he he kai n'tueng. Canghnong a moe cuek vaengah yuet a tawn ne. Te dongah manghai lotul phoeikah canghnong ni ne.
2And if it had come to pass, that when they had made an end of eating the grass of the land — so I said: O Lord GOD, forgive, I beseech Thee; how shall Jacob stand? for he is small.
2Khohmuen kah baelhing caak ham a khah coeng. Te dongah, “Ka Boeipa Yahovah aw, khodawkngai mai, Jakob amah he noe oeh tih ulong a thoh eh?,” ka ti.
3The LORD repented concerning this; 'It shall not be', saith the LORD.
3BOEIPA loh ko a hlawt dongah BOEIPA loh, “He he om mahpawh,” a ti.
4Thus the Lord GOD showed me; and, behold, the Lord GOD called to contend by fire; and it devoured the great deep, and would have eaten up the land.
4Ka Boeipa Yahovah loh he he kai m'hmuh sak. Ho hamla ka Boeipa Yahovah loh hmai neh a khue coeng ke. Tuidung puei te a yoop tih khoyo te a hlawp.
5Then said I: O Lord GOD, cease, I beseech Thee; how shall Jacob stand? for he is small.
5Te vaengah, “Ka Boeipa Yahovah aw, paa mai laeh, Jakob amah he noe oeh tih ulong a thoh eh?,” ka ti.
6The LORD repented concerning this; 'This also shall not be', saith the Lord GOD.
6He ham he BOEIPA loh ko a hlawt dongah ka Boeipa Yahovah loh, “Te khaw om mahpawh,” a ti.
7Thus He showed me; and, behold, the Lord stood beside a wall made by a plumbline, with a plumbline in His hand.
7He he kai n'tueng vaengah ka Boeipa tah vongtung soah mikrhael rhui neh pai tih a kut dongah mikrhael rhui om.
8And the LORD said unto me: 'Amos, what seest thou?' And I said: 'A plumbline.' Then said the Lord: Behold, I will set a plumbline in the midst of My people Israel; I will not again pardon them any more;
8Te phoeiah BOEIPA loh kai taengah, “Amos nang balae na hmuh,” n'ti nah tih, “Mikrhael rhui,” ka ti nah. Te dongah ka Boeipa, “Ka pilnam Israel lakli ah mikrhael rhui ka khueh coeng ne. Anih te pah hamla ka koei voel mahpawh.
9And the high places of Isaac shall be desolate, and the sanctuaries of Israel shall be laid waste; and I will rise against the house of Jeroboam with the sword.
9Isaak kah hmuensang te pong vetih Israel kah rhokso khaw khap uh ni. Jeroboam imkhui te cunghang neh ka pai thil ni,” a ti.
10Then Amaziah the priest of Beth-el sent to Jeroboam king of Israel, saying: 'Amos hath conspired against thee in the midst of the house of Israel; the land is not able to bear all his words.
10Te vaengah Bethel khosoih Amaziah te Israel manghai Jeroboam taengla a tueih tih, “Israel im kah kotak ah Amos loh nang n'taeng thil. A ol boeih ueh ham khaw khohmuen loh a noeng moenih.
11For thus Amos saith: Jeroboam shall die by the sword, and Israel shall surely be led away captive out of his land.'
11Te dongah Amos loh, 'Jeroboam te cunghang dongah duek vetih Israel te a khohmuen dong lamloh a poelyoe rhoe a poelyoe ni, ' a ti,” a ti nah.
12Also Amaziah said unto Amos: 'O thou seer, go, flee thee away into the land of Judah, and there eat bread, and prophesy there;
12Te vaengah Amaziah loh Amos te, “Khohmu Nang te Judah khohmuen la cet lamtah yong laeh. Buh pahoi ca lamtah hnap tonghma nawn.
13but prophesy not again any more at Beth-el, for it is the king's sanctuary, and it is a royal house.'
13Tedae Bethel te tonghma thil ham koep koei boeh. He he manghai rhokso neh ram kah im ni,” a ti nah.
14Then answered Amos, and said to Amaziah: 'I was no prophet, neither was I a prophet's son; but I was a herdman, and a dresser of sycamore-trees;
14Te dongah Amos loh a doo tih Amaziah te, “Kai he tonghma moenih, kai he tonghma capa moenih. Kai he saeldawn ni, thaihae ni ka hloe.
15and the LORD took me from following the flock, and the LORD said unto me: Go, prophesy unto My people Israel.
15Tedae BOEIPA loh kai he boiva hnuk lamloh n'loh. Te vaengah BOEIPA loh kai te, “Cet lamtah ka pilnam Israel taengah tonghma laeh,” a ti.
16Now therefore hear thou the word of the LORD: Thou sayest: Prophesy not against Israel, and preach not against the house of Isaac;
16Te dongah, 'Israel taengah tonghma boel lamtah Isaak imkhui te saep boeh,’ na ti akhaw BOEIPA ol mah hnatun dae.
17Therefore thus saith the LORD: Thy wife shall be a harlot in the city, and thy sons and thy daughters shall fall by the sword, and thy land shall be divided by line; and thou thyself shalt die in an unclean land, and Israel shall surely be led away captive out of his land.'
17Te dongah BOEIPA loh he ni a thui. Na yuu te khopuei khuiah cukhalh vetih na capa neh na canu te cunghang dongah cungku uh ni. Na khohmuen khaw rhuihet loh a boe ni. Namah khaw diklai ah rhalawt la na duek ni. Israel te a khohmuen dongah lamloh a poelyoe rhoe a poelyoe uh ni,” a ti nah.
