¹huchibangin TOUPA PATHIANIN a hoh ensaka; huan, en dih ua, pou nanung jawpen dot pattungna a khaukhup a bawla; huan, ngai dih ua, kumpipa tangseu khita pou nanung jaw ahi.

¹Thus hath the Lord GOD shewed unto me; and, behold, he formed grasshoppers in the beginning of the shooting up of the latter growth; and, lo, it was the latter growth after the king's mowings.

²Huan, huchi a honghia, huai gama loupa a nek khit nung un, Aw TOUPA PATHIAN, ngaidamin, ka honngen hi: Jakob bangchiin a ding thei dia? amahlah a neu ngala, ka chi a.

²And it came to pass, that when they had made an end of eating the grass of the land, then I said, O Lord GOD, forgive, I beseech thee: by whom shall Jacob arise? for he is small.

³Hiai thu lamah TOUPAN a lung a heia: TOUPAN, A hi nawn kei ding, a chi hi.

³The LORD repented for this: It shall not be, saith the LORD.

⁴Huchibangin TOUPA PATHIANIN a hohensaka; huan, en dih ua, TOUPA PATHIAN meia dou dingin a sama; meiin tui thuk lian a kang khina, gam leng kat a ut lai a.

⁴Thus hath the Lord GOD shewed unto me: and, behold, the Lord GOD called to contend by fire, and it devoured the great deep, and did eat up a part.

⁵Huan, ken, AW TOUPA PATHIAN, tawpin ka hon ngen ahi: Jakob bangchiin a ding thei dia? amah lah aneu ngala, ka chi a.

⁵Then said I, O Lord GOD, cease, I beseech thee: by whom shall Jacob arise? for he is small.

⁶Hiai thu lamah TOUPAN a lungsim a hei a; TOUPA PATHIANIN, huai leng a hih nawn kei ding, a chi a.

⁶The LORD repented for this: This also shall not be, saith the Lord GOD.

⁷Hichibangin a honensaka: huan, ngai dih ua, TOUPA bel uluma bawl bang kiangah a dinga, a khut a ulum toh.

⁷Thus he shewed me: and, behold, the LORD stood upon a wall made by a plumbline, with a plumbline in his hand.

⁸Huan, ka kiangah TOUPAN, Amos, bang ahia na muh? a chi a. Huan, ken, ulum ka chi a. Huan, TOUPAN, Ngaiin, ka ni israelte lakah ulum ka koih dinga; amau ka khen nawnta kei ding:

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 pass by them any more:

⁹Huan, Isaak mun sangte a hongsegawp dinga, Israel mun siangthou te hihsiat ahi ding ua: huan, Jeroboam inkote namsauin ka dou ding hi.

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.

¹⁰Huan, Bethel kho siampu Amazia in Israel kumpipa Jeroboam kiangah: Amosin Israel inkote lakah nang a sawm hi: gamin a thu tengteng a thuak theikei.

¹⁰Then Amaziah the priest of Bethel 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.

¹¹Amos inlah huchiin a chi ngala, Jeroboam namsauin a si ding, pellouin a gam akipanin Israel salin a pikhe ding, chiin thu a khaka.

¹¹For thus Amos saith, Jeroboam shall die by the sword, and Israel shall surely be led away captive out of their own land.

¹²Huan, Amos kiangah Amaziain, Aw, nang zawlnei, kuan inla, Juda gamah tai mang inla, huaiah an ne inla, thu hilhin:

¹²Also Amaziah said unto Amos, O thou seer, go, flee thee away into the land of Judah, and there eat bread, and prophesy there:

¹³Himahleh Bethel khua ah thu hilh nawn ken: kumpipa mun siangthou leh kumpipa in a hih jiakin, a chi lai a.

¹³But prophesy not again any more at Bethel: for it is the king's chapel, and it is the king's court.

¹⁴Huan, Amazia kiangah Amosin, Jawlnei ka hi keia, jawlnei tapa leng ka hi sam kei; ganhon vengpa leh theipi sing kempa ka hi jaw hi:

¹⁴Then answered Amos, and said to Amaziah, I was no prophet, neither was I a prophet's son; but I was an herdman, and a gatherer of sycomore fruit:

¹⁵Huan, TOUPAN ka kiangah, Kuan inla, ka mi Israelte kiangah thu genin, honchi a.

¹⁵And the LORD took me as I followed the flock, and the LORD said unto me, Go, prophesy unto my people Israel.

¹⁶Huchiin tuin TOUPA thu jain: Nang Israel kalhin thu gen kenla, Isaak inkote kalhin thu khah kenla, na chi a;Huaijiakin TOUPAN hchiin, Na ji khopi ah kijuaknu ahi dinga, na tapate, na tanute namsauin a puk ding ua, na gam tehna khauin a hawm ding ua; huan, nang ngei sianglou sungah na si dinga; pellouin Israel a gam akipan salin a pimang ding uh, a chi a, chiin a dawnga.

¹⁶Now therefore hear thou the word of the LORD: Thou sayest, Prophesy not against Israel, and drop not thy word against the house of Isaac.

¹⁷Huaijiakin TOUPAN hchiin, Na ji khopi ah kijuaknu ahi dinga, na tapate, na tanute namsauin a puk ding ua, na gam tehna khauin a hawm ding ua; huan, nang ngei sianglou sungah na si dinga; pellouin Israel a gam akipan salin a pimang ding uh, a chi a, chiin a dawnga.

¹⁷Therefore thus saith the LORD; Thy wife shall be an 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 shalt die in a polluted land: and Israel shall surely go into captivity forth of his land.
