Mikah 4

1 Hnukkhuem na ni ah Angraeng im loe mae nui ah sah tih, maenawk boih pong sang koek mae ah om ueloe, pakoeh hanah kaminawk boih to ah caeh o tih.

But in the last days it shall come to pass, that the mountain of the house of the LORD shall be established in the top of the mountains, and it shall be exalted above the hills; and people shall flow unto it.

2 Paroeai prae kaminawk angzo o ueloe, Angraeng ih mae nuiah angzo oh; Jocob Sithaw im ah, caeh o tahang si; anih ih loklam ah a caeh o thai hanah, anih mah aicae han loklam patuek tih: Zion hoiah kaalok tacawt ueloe, Jerusalem hoiah Angraeng ih lok to tacawt tih, tiah thui o tih.

And many nations shall come, and say, Come, and let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, and to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths: for the law shall go out of Zion, and the word of the LORD from Jerusalem.

3 Anih mah pop parai kaminawk to lokcaek tih, thacak angthla parai prae kaminawk to thuitaek tih; nihcae ih sumsen loe laikok atokhaih sum ah sah o ving ueloe, tayaenawk doeh taoi ah sah o lat tih boeh; prae maeto mah maeto sumsen hoi angtukhaih om mak ai boeh, misa angtukhaih doeh amtuk o mak ai boeh.

And he shall judge among many people, and rebuke strong nations far off; and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruning hooks: nation shall not lift up a sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more.

4 Kaminawk boih angmah ih misur takha hoi thaiduetkung tlim ah anghnu o tih, nihcae pazih kami mi doeh om mak ai boeh, tiah misatuh Angraeng mah thuih boeh.

But they shall sit every man under his vine and under his fig tree; and none shall make them afraid: for the mouth of the LORD of hosts has spoken it.

5 Kami boih angmacae ih sithaw ih ahmin hoiah caeh o tih, toe kaicae loe kaimacae ih Angraeng Sithaw ih ahmin hoiah ni dungzan hoi dungzan khoek to ka caeh o han.

For all people will walk every one in the name of his god, and we will walk in the name of the LORD our God for ever and ever.

6 To na niah loe khokkhaem kami, pakak ih kami, ka pacaekthlaek ih kaminawk to ka pakhueng han.

In that day, says the LORD, will I assemble her that haltes, and I will gather her that is driven out, and her that I have afflicted;

7 Khokkhaem kaminawk to anghmat kami ah ka sak moe, haek ih kaminawk to thacak kami ah ka sak han; vaihi hoi kamtong dungzan hoi dungzan khoek to Angraeng mah nihcae to Zion mae ah uk tih boeh.

And I will make her that halted a remnant, and her that was cast far off a strong nation: and the LORD shall reign over them in mount Zion from henceforth, even for ever.

8 Nang Zion canu thacakhaih kaom, tuu toephaih imsang, hmaloe ah ukhaih to nang khaeah angzo let tih, Jerusalem canu ukhaih prae to angzo let tih.

And you, O tower of the flock, the strong hold of the daughter of Zion, unto you shall it come, even the first dominion; the kingdom shall come to the daughter of Jerusalem.

9 Tipongah vaihi tha hoi na qah loe? Siangpahrang na tawn o ai maw? Kahoih poekhaih paek kami to anghmat ving boeh maw? To ahmuen ah nongpata mah pauep ih kana baktiah nathaih mah ang naeh boeh maw?

Now why do you cry out aloud? is there no king in you? is your counsellor perished? for pangs have taken you as a woman in travail.

10 Aw Zion canu, nongpata mah nawkta oh nathuem ah pauep ih kana aham ih baktiah, kana to pauep ah: vaihi loe taw ah oh hanah, vangpui to na caehtaak tih boeh, Babylon ah doeh na caeh tih; nang loe to ah pahlong ah na om tih; to ah Angraeng mah na misanawk ban thung hoiah na loisak tih.

Be in pain, and labour to bring forth, O daughter of Zion, like a woman in travail: for now shall you go forth out of the city, and you shall dwell in the field, and you shall go even to Babylon; there shall you be delivered; there the LORD shall redeem you from the hand of your enemies.

11 Toe pop parai prae kaminawk mah nang to naeh hanah vaihi nawnto amkhueng o, nihcae mah, Zion loe panuet thok ah om nasoe, Zion to anghoehaih hoiah ka dan o han, tiah thuih o.

Now also many nations are gathered against you, that say, Let her be defiled, and let our eye look upon Zion.

12 Toe nihcae loe Angraeng poekhaih to panoek o ai, a thuih ih lok doeh panoek o ai; Anih mah nihcae to cang atithaih ahmuen ih kangpop cangqui baktiah tapop tih.

But they know not the thoughts of the LORD, neither understand they his counsel: for he shall gather them as the sheaves into the floor.

13 Aw Zion canunawk, angthawk oh loe, atii oh; na takii to sum ah kang coengsak moe, na khokpadae to sum kamling ah kang coengsak han; kanoih parai kaminawk to na va phaeng tih; nihcae ih hmuenmae to Angraeng khaeah ka tathlang moe, long boih ukkung Angraeng khaeah nihcae ih hmuennawk to ka paek han.

Arise and thresh, O daughter of Zion: for I will make your horn iron, and I will make your hoofs brass: and you shall beat in pieces many people: and I will consecrate their gain unto the LORD, and their substance unto the Lord of the whole earth.
