Maikah 4

1 Hmailong ah khohnin ana om bitni. BOEIPA kah tlang im khaw om vetih tlang lu ah pai ni. Amah tah som soah poe vetih a taengah pilnam hlampan ni.

And at the last days the mountain of the Lord shall be manifest, established on the tops of the mountains, and it shall be exalted above the hills; and the peoples shall hasten to it.

2 Te vaengah namtom rhoek te muep cet uh vetih, “Ceh uh sih lamtah BOEIPA tlang neh Jakob Pathen im la luei uh sih. A longpuei te mamih n'thuinuet daengah ni a caehlong ah m'pongpa thai eh. Olkhueng he Zion lamloh thoeng tih BOEIPA ol tah Jerusalem lamkah,” a ti uh ni.

And many nations shall go, and say, Come, let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, and to the house of the God of Jacob; and they shall show us his way, and we will walk in his paths: for out of Sion shall go forth a law, and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem.

3 Pilnam boeiping laklo ah lai a tloek vetih khohla kah namtom pilnu ham a tluung pah ni. A cunghang te tuktong la, a caai te vin la a dae uh ni. Namtom loh namtom taengah cunghang muk mahpawh. Caemtloeknah khaw koep tukkil uh mahpawh.

And he shall judge amongst many peoples, and shall rebuke strong nations afar off; and they shall beat their swords into ploughshares, and their spears into sickles; and nation shall no more lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn to war any more.

4 Hlang he amah kah misur hmui neh amah kah thaibu hmuiah ni a ngol uh eh. Caempuei BOEIPA kah ka loh a thui coeng dongah lakueng uh mahpawh.

And every one shall rest under his vine, and every one under his fig tree; and there shall be none to alarm [them]: for the mouth of the Lord Almighty has spoken these [words].

5 Pilnam boeih he amah pathen ming neh rhip pongpa uh khaming. Kaimih tah ka Pathen BOEIPA ming neh kumhal ah ka pongpa uh yoeyah ni.

For all [other] nations shall walk everyone in his own way, but we will walk in the name of the Lord our God for ever and ever.

6 Te khohnin ah tah BOEIPA kah olphong bangla aka cungdo te ka coi vetih a heh rhoek neh thae ka huet thil rhoek te khaw katingtun sak ni.

In that day, says the Lord, I will gather her that is bruised, and will receive her that is cast out, and those whom I rejected.

7 Te vaengah aka cungdo rhoek te a meet la, namtom taengla a vaivoek rhoek te pilnu la ka khueh ni. BOEIPA loh amih te Zion tlang ah tahae lamloh kumhal duela a manghai thil ni.

And I will make her that was bruised a remnant, and her that was rejected a mighty nation: and the Lord shall reign over them in mount Sion from henceforth, even for ever.

8 Nang tah molpuei saeldawn-hlam ni. Zion nu tah nang taengla ha thoeng vetih ram lamhma kah khohung te khaw Jerusalem nu taengla pawk ni.

And you, dark tower of the flock, daughter of Sion, on you the dominion shall come and enter in, [even] the first kingdom from Babylon to the daughter of Jerusalem.

9 Tahae balae tih khohum bangla na yuhui. Nang taengah manghai tal tih nang aka uen khaw mitmoeng coeng a? Nang te ca-om bangla bungtloh loh m'moep.

And now, why have you known calamities? was there not a king to you? or has your counsel perished that pangs as of a woman in travail have seized upon you?

10 Zion nu, vawn tih ca-om bangla a poh coeng. Khorha lamloh n'khuen laeh saeh lamtah kohong ah khosa oeh. Babylon la pahoi na pha vetih pahoi n'lat bitni. BOEIPA loh nang te na thunkha kut lamloh n'tlan bitni.

Be in pain, and strengthen yourself, and draw near, O daughter of Sion, as a woman in travail: for now you shall go forth out of the city, and shall lodge in the plain, and shall reach even to Babylon: thence shall the Lord your God deliver you, and thence shall he redeem you out of the hand of your enemies.

11 “Poeih saeh lamtah mamih mik loh Zion te dawn saeh,” aka ti namtom rhoek khaw nang taengah muep tingtun uh coeng.

And now have many nations gathered against you, saying, We will rejoice, and our eyes shall look upon Sion.

12 Cangtilhmuen kah cangpa bangla amih a coi lalah amih loh BOEIPA kah kopoek te ming uh pawt tih a cilsuep khaw a yakming uh moenih.

But they know not the thought of the Lord, and have not understood his counsel: for he has gathered them as sheaves of the floor.

13 Zion nu aw, thoo lamtah til laeh. Na ki te thi kang khueh vetih na khomae ham khaw rhohum kang khueh ni. Pilnam boeiping khaw na tip sak vetih amih mueluemnah te BOEIPA hamla, a caem te diklai pum kah Boeipa hamla na thup pah ni.

Arise, and thresh them, O daughter of Sion: for I will make your horns iron, and I will make your hoofs brass: and you shall utterly destroy many nations, and shall consecrate their abundance to the Lord, and their strength to the Lord of all the earth.
