1 Jakob boeilu rhoek neh Israel imkhui kah rhalboei rhoek loh hnatun uh laeh ka ti. Tiktamnah ming ham te nangmih ham moenih a?
And I said hear please O chiefs of Jacob and O rulers of [the] house of Israel ¿ not [belong] to you [does] to know justice.
2 A then aka hmuhuet tih boethae, boethae aka lungnah rhoek, amih pum dongkah a vin neh a rhuh dong lamkah a saa aka rheth rhoek.
Haters of good and lovers of (evil *Q(K)*) tearers away of skin their from on them and flesh their from on bones their.
3 Ka pilnam saa te a caak uh tih amih pum kah a vin te a khong pa uh. Te phoeiah a rhuh te a pop sak tih am dongkah bangla a rha uh. Ampaih khui kah maeh bangla a khueh uh.
And [those] who they have eaten [the] flesh of people my and skin their from on them they have stripped off and bones their they have broken in pieces and they have chopped [them] up just as in the pot and like meat in [the] midst of a caldron.
4 BOEIPA taengla pang uh mai cakhaw amih te doo mahpawh. Amih khoboe te a thae van dongah te vaeng hnin ah tah amih taeng lamloh a maelhmai a thuh ni.
Then they will cry out to Yahweh and not he will answer them and he will hide face his from them at the time that since they have made evil deeds their.
5 Ka pilnam kho aka hmang sak tonghma rhoek ham BOEIPA loh he ni a thui. A no a maeng uh tih rhoepnah a doek uh. Tedae a ka te a khuem uh mai pawt dongah a taengah caemtloek hoep uh coeng.
Thus he says Yahweh on the prophets who mislead people my who bite with teeth their and they proclaim peace and [the one] who not he puts on mouth their and they consecrate on him war.
6 Te dongah mangthui lamkah he nang taengah khoyin tih hlang bi lamkah khaw nang taengah tah hmuep coeng. Tonghma rhoek ham tah khomik te tla vetih amih ham tah khothaih khaw hmuep ni.
Therefore night [will belong] to you from vision and it will grow dark to you from divining and it will go the sun on the prophets and it will be dark on them the day.
7 Khohmu rhoek te yak uh vetih hlang bi rhoek khaw ngam uh ni. Pathen kah hlatnah a om pawt dongah amih boeih te a hmui a buem uh ni.
And they will be ashamed the seers and they will be abashed those [who] divine and they will cover over a moustache all of them for there not [will be] an answer of God.
8 Tedae kai tah Jakob kah a boekoeknah neh Israel taengah a tholhnah phoe pah hamla, thadueng neh, BOEIPA kah mueihla neh, tiktamnah neh, thayung thamal neh ka baetawt coeng.
And but I I am full power with [the] spirit of Yahweh and justice and might to declare to Jacob transgression its and to Israel sin its.
9 Jakob imkhui kah boeilu neh Israel imkhui kah rhalboei rhoek, tiktamnah aka tuei tih a thuem boeih te aka kawn sak rhoek loh hnatun uh laeh he.
Hear please this O chiefs of [the] house of Jacob and O rulers of [the] house of Israel who loathe justice and every straight [thing] they make crooked.
10 Zion te thii neh, Jerusalem te dumlai neh a sak uh.
[who] build Zion with blood and Jerusalem with injustice.
11 A boeilu rhoek loh kapbaih hamla lai a tloek uh tih a khosoih rhoek loh a phu la a thuinuet uh. A tonghma rhoek khaw tangka hamla hma uh. Tedae, “Kaimih lakli ah BOEIPA om pawt tih kaimih soah yoethaenah pai mahpawh nama?” aka ti ham ni BOEIPA dongah a hangdang uh.
Chiefs its - for a bribe they judge and priests its for a price they teach and prophets its for money they divine and on Yahweh they depend saying ¿ not [is] Yahweh in midst our not it will come on us calamity.
12 Zion nang kong ah khohmuen a yoe uh vetih Jerusalem khaw lairhok la poeh ni. Tlang im te khaw hmuensang duup la poeh ni.
Therefore on account of you Zion a field it will be plowed and Jerusalem heaps of ruins it will be and [the] mountain of the house high places of a forest.
