Maikah 2
1 Nunae, boethae la aka moeh rhoek neh a thingkong dongah boethae aka saii rhoek aih, a kut dongah pathen hnap a om hatah mincang khosae ah te te a saii.
Woe to those who devise iniquity and work evil on their beds! When the morning is light, they practise it, because it is in the power of their hand.
2 Khohmuen a nai uh tih a rhawth uh, im khaw a puen pa uh, hlang te a imkhui neh tongpa khaw, a rho khaw a hnaemtaek uh.
They covet fields and seize them, and houses, then take them away. They oppress a man and his house, even a man and his heritage.
3 Te dongah BOEIPA loh, “Kamah loh he rhoek koca taengah yoethaenah ka hmoel pah coeng he. Te te na rhawn lamloh na hlong thai pawt vetih yoethaenah tue ah a cakdawk la cet boeh,” a ti.
Therefore the LORD says: “Behold, I am planning against these people a disaster, from which you will not remove your necks, neither will you walk haughtily, for it is an evil time.
4 Te khohnin ah tah nangmih taengah thuidoeknah hang khuen ni. Rhathinah neh rhathi tih a om vaengah, “Mah, pilnam kah khoyo he a rhoelrhak la n'rhoelrha uh tih a thovael coeng. Kai lamloh a khum phoeiah mah khohmuen te hnukmael taengla a tael pah,” a ti ni.
In that day they will take up a parable against you, and lament with a doleful lamentation, saying, ‘We are utterly ruined! My people’s possession is divided up. Indeed he takes it from me and assigns our fields to traitors!’”
5 Te dongah BOEIPA kah hlangping lakli ah nang taengah hmulung neh rhi aka naan om mahpawh.
Therefore you will have no one who divides the land by lot in the LORD’s assembly.
6 A saep uh akhaw n'saep uh boel saeh, he ham he saep uh boel saeh, mingthae te balkhong boel saeh.
“Don’t prophesy!”—they prophesy— “Don’t prophesy about these things. Disgrace won’t overtake us.”
7 Jakob imkhui te cal a? BOEIPA kah Mueihla te a ngun pah a? He nim anih kah a khoboe? Aka thuem la pongpa ham a lohna uh khaw kai ol nen moenih a?
Shall it be said, O house of Jacob, “Is the LORD’s Spirit angry? Are these his doings? Don’t my words do good to him who walks blamelessly?”
8 Tedae hlaem kah ka pilnam he a khaepdan ah thunkha bangla thoo. Caemtloek kah aka mael loh ngaikhuek la aka pah taengkah tangpueng himbai te na pit pauh.
But lately my people have risen up as an enemy. You strip the robe and clothing from those who pass by without a care, returning from battle.
9 Ka pilnam yuu rhoek te a omthenbawnnah im lamloh na haek uh. Kumhal ham ka rhuepomnah te a camoe rhoek taeng lamloh na loh pauh.
You drive the women of my people out from their pleasant houses; from their young children you take away my blessing forever.
10 Thoo uh lamtah cet uh, he he duemnah moenih. Laikoi loh a poeih tih bungtloh loh a thuek coeng.
Arise, and depart! For this is not your resting place, because of uncleanness that destroys, even with a grievous destruction.
11 Hlang he yilh la cu tih a honghi la laithae mako. Nangmih ham te misur kawng neh yu kawng kan saep bitni. Te vaengah he he pilnam aka saep la om bitni.
If a man walking in a spirit of falsehood lies, saying, “I will prophesy to you of wine and of strong drink,” he would be the prophet of this people.
12 Jakob nang te boeih kan coi rhoe kan coi ni. Israel kah a meet rhoek ka coi rhoe ka coi ni. Anih te saelim kah boiva bangla rhenten ka khuen ni. A rhamtlim laklo ah tuping bangla hlang neh pangngawl uh ni.
I will surely assemble all of you, Jacob. I will surely gather the remnant of Israel. I will put them together as the sheep of Bozrah, as a flock in the middle of their pasture. They will swarm with people.
13 Aka va rhoek te amih mikhmuh ah cet uh vaengah vongka a va uh vetih pah uh ni. Te longah a thoeng uh vaengah a manghai amih mikhmuh ah, BOEIPA te amih lu ah cet ni.
He who breaks open the way goes up before them. They break through the gate, and go out. Their king passes on before them, with the LORD at their head.
