Maikah 1
1 BOEIPA ol he Judah manghai Jotham, Ahaz, Hezekiah tue vaengah Morasthite Maikah taengla cet. Te te Samaria neh Jerusalem ham ni a hmuh.
The word of the Lord which came to Micah the Morashtite, in the days of Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah: his vision about Samaria and Jerusalem.
2 Pilnam loh a cungkuem te hnatun saeh. Diklai neh a cungkuem loh hnatung saeh. Ka Boeipa Yahovah tah nangmih taengah om saeh. Ka Boeipa tah a hmuencim bawkim lamloh laipai la om coeng.
Give ear, you peoples, all of you; give attention, O earth and everything in it: let the Lord God be witness against you, the Lord from his holy Temple.
3 BOEIPA tah amah tolhmuen lamloh ha pai ngawn coeng ne. Te phoeiah suntla tih diklai hmuensang, hmuensang te a cawt.
For see, the Lord is coming out from his place, and will come down, stepping on the high places of the earth.
4 Tlang rhoek he a yung duela yut uh coeng. Tuikol rhoek te hmai hmai kah khoirhat bangla phih uh tih tui bangla singling ah long.
And the mountains will be turned to water under him, and the deep valleys will be broken open, like wax before the fire, like waters flowing down a slope.
5 Te boeih te Jakob kah boekoeknah neh Israel imkhui kah tholhnah dongah ni. Jakob kah boekoeknah te Samaria moenih a? Judah kah hmuensang te Jerusalem moenih a?
All this is because of the wrongdoing of Jacob and the sins of the children of Israel. What is the wrongdoing of Jacob? is it not Samaria? and what are the high places of Judah? are they not Jerusalem?
6 Te dongah Samaria te khohmuen lairhok la, misurdum kah thingling la ka khueh ni. A lungto te kolrhawk la ka lun pah vetih a khoengim te ka yoe pah ni.
So I will make Samaria into a field and the plantings of a vine-garden: I will send its stones falling down into the valley, uncovering its bases.
7 A mueidaep boeih te a phop uh vetih a paang boeih te hmai ah a hoeh uh ni. A muei boeih te khopong la ka khueh ni. Pumyoih paang te coi sitoe cakhaw pumyoih paang la mael ni.
And all her pictured images will be hammered into bits, and all the payments for her loose ways will be burned with fire, and all the images of her gods I will make waste: for with the price of a loose woman she got them together, and as the price of a loose woman will they be given back.
8 He ham he ka rhaengsae vetih ka rhung ni. Khotling neh pumtlingla ka van ni. Pongui bangla rhaengsaelung ka khueh vetih, tuirhuk vanu bangla nguekcoinah ka khueh ni.
For this I will be full of sorrow and give cries of grief; I will go uncovered and unclothed: I will give cries of grief like the jackals and will be in sorrow like the ostriches.
9 A boengha te rhawp coeng tih Judah taengla a caeh dongah Jerusalem hil ka pilnam kah vongka te a pha.
For her wounds may not be made well: for it has come even to Judah, stretching up to the doorway of my people, even to Jerusalem.
10 Gath ah khaw puen boeh, Bethophrah ah rhap rhoe rhap uh boeh. Laipi dongah bol la bol nawn.
Give no word of it in Gath, let there be no weeping at all: at Beth-le-aphrah be rolling in the dust.
11 Saphir khosa rhoek nang khaw yahpohnah neh yangyal la nong laeh. Zaanan khosa khaw cet mahpawh. Bethezel kah rhaengsaelung loh a tungduelnah te nang lamloh a loh coeng.
Be uncovered and go away, you who are living in Shaphir: the one living in Zaanan has not come out of her town; Beth-ezel is taken away from its base, even from its resting-place.
12 BOEIPA taeng lamkah yoethaenah loh Jerusalem vongka duela a suntlak dongah Maroth khosa rhoek tah hnothen ham te kilkul coeng.
For the one living in Maroth is waiting for good: for evil has come down from the Lord to the doorways of Jerusalem.
13 Lakhish khosa rhoek loh marhang te leng dongah buen laeh. Te tah Zion nu kah tholhnah a moenah ni. Na khuiah Israel kah boekoeknah ni a tueng rhoe.
Let the war-carriage be yoked to the quick-running horse, you who are living in Lachish: she was the first cause of sin to the daughter of Zion; for the wrongdoings of Israel were seen in you.
14 Te dongah Israel manghai rhoek taengah phokhapnah la Akhzib imkhui kah Moreshethkath te maan na paek ni.
For this cause give a parting offering to Moresheth-gath: the daughter of Achzib will be a deceit to the king of Israel.
15 Mareshah khosa nang aka haek te koep kang khuen vetih Israel kah thangpomnah loh Adullam duela a pha ni.
Even now will the taker of your heritage come to you, you who are living in Mareshah: the glory of Israel will come to destruction for ever.
16 Na omthenbawnnah camoe rhoek te kuet lamtah vok pah laeh. Na lungawng khawatha bangla ka sak. Nang taeng lamloh a poelyoe uh hae ni.
Let your head be uncovered and your hair cut off in sorrow for the children of your delight: let the hair be pulled from your head like an eagle's; for they have been taken away from you as prisoners.
