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.

BUT in the last days it shall come to pass, that the mountain of the house of the Lord shall be established in the top of the mountains, and it shall be exalted above the hills; and people shall flow unto 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 come, and say, Come, and let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, and to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths: for the law shall go forth of Zion, 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 among many people, and rebuke strong nations afar off; and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruninghooks: nation shall not lift up a sword against nation, neither shall they learn 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.

But they shall sit every man under his vine and under his fig tree; and none shall make them afraid: for the mouth of the Lord of hosts hath spoken it.

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 people will walk every one in the name of his god, and 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, saith the Lord, will I assemble her that halteth, and I will gather her that is driven out, and her that I have afflicted;

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 halted a remnant, and her that was cast far off a strong nation: and the Lord shall reign over them in mount Zion 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 thou, O tower of the flock, the strong hold of the daughter of Zion, unto thee shall it come, even the first dominion; the kingdom shall come 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.

Now why dost thou cry out aloud? is there no king in thee? is thy counseller perished? for pangs have taken thee as a woman in travail.

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 labour to bring forth, O daughter of Zion, like a woman in travail: for now shalt thou go forth out of the city, and thou shalt dwell in the field, and thou shalt go even to Babylon; there shalt thou be delivered; there the Lord shall redeem thee from the hand of thine enemies.

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

Now also many nations are gathered against thee, that say, Let her be defiled, and let our eye look upon Zion.

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 thoughts of the Lord, neither understand they his counsel: for he shall gather them as the sheaves into 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, O daughter of Zion: for I will make thine horn iron, and I will make thy hoofs brass: and thou shalt beat in pieces many people: and I will consecrate their gain unto the Lord, and their substance unto the Lord of the whole earth.
