< Mikah 7 >
1 Kai loe khosak bing boeh! Kai loe nipui tue ah pakhrik ih thingthai baktih, misurtui takha thung ih misurthaih kanghmat baktiah ni ka oh boeh; caak han misurthaih om ai, ka caak han koeh ih athai tangsuek thingthai doeh om ai.
Woe is me! for I am as when they have gathered the summer fruits, as the grapegleanings of the vintage: there is no cluster to eat: my soul desired the firstripe fruit.
2 Kahoih kaminawk loe long nui hoi anghmat o boih boeh; kaminawk thungah katoeng kami maeto doeh om ai boeh: kaminawk boih athii palong hanah kami to angang o; kami maeto boih mah angmah ih nawkamya to palok hoiah amee o.
The good man is perished out of the earth: and there is none upright among men: they all lie in wait for blood; they hunt every man his brother with a net.
3 Ban loe kahoih ai hmuen sak han kop, ukkungnawk loe tangqum to hnik o, lokcaekkungnawk doeh bokhaih phoisa to caak o; kalen kaminawk loe koeh ih hmuen to hnik o, nihcae loe to tiah nawnto toksak o.
That they may do evil with both hands earnestly, the prince asketh, and the judge asketh for a reward; and the great man, he uttereth his mischievous desire: so they wrap it up.
4 Nihcae thung ih kahoih koek kami loe soekhring hoiah anghmong; katoeng koek kami mataeng doeh takha pakaahaih soekhring pongah noet kue; nang toepkungnawk ih ani hoi na paqaihhaih ani loe angzoh boeh; vaihi loe nihcae han anghmang thok atue ah oh.
The best of them is as a brier: the most upright is sharper than a thorn hedge: the day of thy watchmen and thy visitation cometh; now shall be their perplexity.
5 Ampui to oep hmah, loklam patuek kami khaeah amha hmah; na saoek ah amha nongpata khaeah thuih ih lok to angsum ah.
Trust ye not in a friend, put ye not confidence in a guide: keep the doors of thy mouth from her that lieth in thy bosom.
6 Capa mah ampa to saiqat ai, canu mah amno to misa ah suek, langah mah amni to misa ah suek; misa kaom kami loe angmah imthung takoh kaminawk to ni.
For the son dishonoureth the father, the daughter riseth up against her mother, the daughter in law against her mother in law; a man's enemies are the men of his own house.
7 To pongah Angraeng to ka khet han, kai pahlonghaih Sithaw to ka zing han; ka Sithaw mah na tahngai pae tih.
Therefore I will look unto YHWH; I will wait for the Elohim of my salvation: my Elohim will hear me.
8 Ka misa nang, ka nuiah anghoe hmah; kai loe amtimh cadoeh, kang thawk let han; vinghaih thungah ka oh cadoeh, Angraeng loe kai aanghaih ah om tih.
Rejoice not against me, O mine enemy: when I fall, I shall arise; when I sit in darkness, YHWH shall be a light unto me.
9 A nuiah ka zae boeh pongah, anih mah kai kawng to thuih moe, kai han lok takroekhaih sah ai karoek to, Angraeng palungphuihaih to ka pauep han: Anih mah aanghaih thungah na caehhaih ueloe, a toenghaih to ka hnu tih.
I will bear the indignation of YHWH, because I have sinned against him, until he plead my cause, and execute judgment for me: he will bring me forth to the light, and I shall behold his righteousness.
10 To pacoengah kai khaeah, Na Angraeng Sithaw loe naa ah maw oh? tiah kathui ka misa mah hnu tih, to naah anih loe azathaih mah muek tih, ka mik mah anih to hnu tih; anih loe vaihi loklam ih tangkrok baktiah khok hoiah cawh tih boeh.
Then she that is mine enemy shall see it, and shame shall cover her which said unto me, Where is YHWH thy Elohim? mine eyes shall behold her: now shall she be trodden down as the mire of the streets.
11 Nang ih sipae sakhaih ani to angzo tih, to na niah loe na prae to kawk tih boeh.
In the day that thy walls are to be built, in that day shall the decree be far removed.
12 To na niah loe Assyria, kacak Izip vangpuinawk, kacak Izip vangpui hoi tuipui karoek to, tuipui maeto hoi maeto khoek to, mae hae bang hoi ho bangah kaom kaminawk to nang khaeah angzo o tih.
In that day also he shall come even to thee from Assyria, and from the fortified cities, and from the fortress even to the river, and from sea to sea, and from mountain to mountain.
13 To tiah om cadoeh, a sak o ih athaih baktih toengah, a thungah kaom kaminawk pongah prae to pahnawt sut tih boeh.
Notwithstanding the land shall be desolate because of them that dwell therein, for the fruit of their doings.
14 Taw ah kaom, Karmel mae ih qawk ah na toep ih tuunawk hoi nangmah ih kaminawk to nangmah ih cunghet hoiah toep ah; canghnii ah sak ih baktih toengah, nihcae to pacah hanah Bashan hoi Gilead ah caeh haih ah.
Feed thy people with thy rod, the flock of thine heritage, which dwell solitarily in the wood, in the midst of Carmel: let them feed in Bashan and Gilead, as in the days of old.
15 Izip prae thung hoi nang zoh o nathuem ih baktih toengah, nihcae han dawnrai hmuennawk to ka patuek han.
According to the days of thy coming out of the land of Egypt will I shew unto him marvellous things.
16 Prae kaminawk mah hnuk o naah dawnrai o ueloe, angmacae ih misatuh kaminawk to azat o haih tih; nihcae mah pakha to ban hoi tamuep o tih, lok apae o thai mak ai.
The nations shall see and be confounded at all their might: they shall lay their hand upon their mouth, their ears shall be deaf.
17 Nihcae loe long ah kavak sadong baktiah akhaw thung hoiah tacawt o ueloe, pahui baktiah long to palaek o tih: nang to zii o ueloe, kaicae ih Angraeng Sithaw doeh zii o tih.
They shall lick the dust like a serpent, they shall move out of their holes like worms of the earth: they shall be afraid of YHWH our Elohim, and shall fear because of thee.
18 Anih mah palungnathaih amtuengsak han koeh pongah, palungphui poe ai, zaehaih to tahmen moe, kanghmat angmah ih qawktoep kaminawk sapazaehaih tahmen nang baktih Sithaw mi maw kaom?
Who is an El like unto thee, that pardoneth iniquity, and passeth by the transgression of the remnant of his heritage? he retaineth not his anger for ever, because he delighteth in mercy.
19 Anih loe kaicae nuiah amlunghaih tawn let ueloe, kaicae zaehaihnawk to anih mah payawk tih: kaicae zaehaihnawk to kathuk tuipui thungah na va pae tih.
He will turn again, he will have compassion upon us; he will subdue our iniquities; and thou wilt cast all their sins into the depths of the sea.
20 Canghnii ah kam panawk khaeah lok na kam ih baktih toengah, Jakob khaeah loktang to nam tuengsak ueloe, Abraham khaeah palungnathaih na tawn poe tih.
Thou wilt perform the truth to Jacob, and the mercy to Abraham, which thou hast sworn unto our fathers from the days of old.
