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.
And it hath come to pass, In the latter end of the days, The mount of the house of Jehovah Is established above the top of the mounts, And it hath been lifted up above the hills, And flowed unto it have peoples.
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 gone have many nations and said, Come and we go up to the mount of Jehovah, And unto the house of the God of Jacob, And He doth teach us of His ways, And we do walk in His paths, For from Zion doth go forth a law, And a word of Jehovah 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 hath judged between many peoples, And given a decision to mighty nations afar off, They have beaten their swords to ploughshares, And their spears to pruning-hooks, Nation lifteth not up sword unto nation, Nor do 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.
And they have sat each under his vine, And under his fig-tree, And there is none troubling, For the mouth of Jehovah of Hosts hath spoken.
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 the peoples do walk, Each in the name of its god — and we, We do walk in the name of Jehovah our God, To the age and for ever.
6 To na niah loe khokkhaem kami, pakak ih kami, ka pacaekthlaek ih kaminawk to ka pakhueng han.
In that day — an affirmation of Jehovah, I do gather the halting one, And the driven away one I bring together, And she whom 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 have set the halting for a remnant, And the far-off for a mighty nation, And reigned hath Jehovah over them in mount Zion, From henceforth, and unto the age.
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 thou, O tower of Eder, Fort of the daughter of Zion, unto thee it cometh, Yea, come in hath the former rule, The kingdom 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 dost thou shout aloud? A king — is there none in thee? Hath thy counsellor perished, That taken hold of thee hath pain as a travailing woman?
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 pained, and bring forth, O daughter of Zion, As a travailing woman, For now, thou goest forth from the city, And thou hast dwelt in the field, And thou hast gone unto Babylon, There thou art delivered, There redeem thee doth Jehovah from the hand of thine 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.
And now, gathered against thee have been many nations, who are saying: 'Let her be defiled, and our eyes look on 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.
They have not known the thoughts of Jehovah, Nor have they understood His counsel, For He hath gathered them as a sheaf [into] a threshing-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 thy horn I make iron, And thy hoofs I make brass, And thou hast beaten small many peoples, And I have devoted to Jehovah their gain, And their wealth to the Lord of the whole earth!
