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 will come about that the mountain of Yahweh's house will be established over the other mountains. It will be exalted above the hills, and peoples will stream 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.
Many nations will go and say, “Come, let us go up to the mountain of Yahweh, to the house of the God of Jacob. He will teach us his ways, and we will walk in his paths.” For from Zion the law will go out, and the word of Yahweh 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.
He will judge among many peoples and will decide concerning numerous nations far away. They will beat their swords into plowshares and their spears into pruning hooks. Nation will not lift up sword against nation, nor will they train for war any longer.
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.
Instead, they will sit every person under his vine and under his fig tree. No one will make them afraid, for the mouth of Yahweh of hosts has spoken.
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 the peoples walk, each one, in the name of their god. But we will walk in the name of Yahweh our God forever 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.
“On that day”—this is Yahweh's declaration— “I will assemble the lame and gather the outcast, those whom 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.
I will turn the lame into a remnant, and the ones driven away into a strong nation, and I, Yahweh, will reign over them on Mount Zion, now and forever.
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.
As for you, watchtower for the flock, hill of the daughter of Zion— to you it will come, your former dominion will be restored, the kingdom that belongs 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 do you shout so loudly? Is there no king among you? Has your counselor died? Is this why pain grips you like that of a woman in labor?
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 labor to give birth, daughter of Zion, like a woman in labor. For now you will you go out of the city, live in the field, and go to Babylon. There you will be rescued. There Yahweh will rescue you from 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.
Now many nations are assembled against you; they say, 'Let her be defiled; let our eyes gloat over 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.
They do not know Yahweh's thoughts, neither do they understand his plans, for he has gathered them like bundles of grain prepared for the threshing 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, daughter of Zion, for I will make your horn to be iron, and I will make your hooves to be bronze. You will crush many peoples and you will devote their unjust wealth to Yahweh, their wealth to the Lord of the whole earth.”
