Maikah 7
1 Ya-oe kai aih he, khohal cangah bang maila, misurbit loh a yoep hnukah, a su aka om pawt bangla ka om. Thaihloe caak hamla ka hinglu loh a ngaidam.
Woe is me! for I am as when they have gathered the summer fruits, as the grape-gleanings of the vintage: [there is] no cluster to eat: my soul desired the first ripe fruit.
2 Khohmuen lamkah hlangcim he milh coeng tih hlang lakli ah aka thuem khaw tal coeng. A pum la thii te a rhongngol thil uh tih hlang loh a manuca te yaehtaboeih la a mae uh.
The good [man] hath perished from the earth: and [there is] none upright among men: they all lie in wait for blood; they hunt every man his brother with a net.
3 A kut rhoi tah boethae dongah lohna coeng. Mangpa loh lai sahnah ham a bih tih lai a tloek. A hinglu loh talnah thui hamla haam tih amah neh tingtong uh.
That they may do evil with both hands earnestly, the prince asketh, and the judge [asketh] for a reward; and the great [man], he uttereth his mischievous desire: so they wrap it up.
4 Amih kah a then te hling banghui ni. Aka thuem khaw vonghling lakah nah. Khohnin he nang aka tawt tih nang aka ngoldoelh hamla pai coeng. Amih kah tingtongnah khaw om coeng.
The best of them [is] as a brier: the most upright [is sharper] than a thorn hedge: the day of thy watchmen [and] thy visitation cometh; now shall be their perplexity.
5 Na hui te tangnah uh boel lamtah khoboei dongah khaw pangtung uh boeh. Na rhang dongkah aka yalh taengah khaw na ka thohka te tuem.
Trust ye not in a friend, put ye not confidence in a guide: keep the doors of thy mouth from her that lieth in thy bosom.
6 Capa loh a napa a hoo tih a canu loh a manu taengah, a langa loh a mani taengah tlai. Hlang loh a imkhui kah hlang rhoek te a thunkha nah.
For the son dishonoreth the father, the daughter riseth up against her mother, the daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law; a man's enemies [are] the men of his own house.
7 Tedae kai tah BOEIPA te ka dawn tih kamah kah khangnah Pathen te ka lamtawn dongah ka ol he ka Pathen loh a hnatun ni.
Therefore I will look to the LORD; I will wait for the God of my salvation: my God will hear me.
8 Ka thunkha loh kai soah na kohoe boeh. Ka cungku cakhaw ka thoo pueng ni. Hmaisuep ah ka ngol cakhaw BOEIPA tah kai ham vangnah la om.
Rejoice not against me, O my enemy: when I fall, I shall arise; when I sit in darkness, the LORD [will be] a light to me.
9 Amah taengah ka tholh coeng dongah BOEIPA kah thintoek he ka phueih mai bitni. Ka tuituknah a oelh tih ka tiktamnah a saii. Kai he vangnah khuila kai n'khuen vetih a duengnah te ka hmuh pueng ni.
I will bear the indignation of the LORD, because I have sinned against him, until he shall plead my cause, and execute judgment for me: he will bring me forth to the light, [and] I shall behold his righteousness.
10 Kai taengah, “Na Pathen BOEIPA te melae?,” aka ti ka thunkha rhoek loh a hmuh vaengah yah loh anih a thing bitni. Anih te ka mik loh a hmuh vaengah tol kah tangnong bangla cawtkoi ham om pawn ni.
Then [she that is] my enemy shall see [it], and shame shall cover her who said to me, Where is the LORD thy God? my eyes shall behold her: now shall she be trodden down as the mire of the streets.
11 Na vongtung thoh hamla khohnin pai vetih te khohnin ah tah khotlueh a suem ni.
[In] the day that thy walls are to be built, [in] that day shall the decree be far removed.
12 Te khohnin vaengah tah Assyria neh Egypt khopuei lamkah khaw, Egypt neh tuiva, tuitunli lamkah khaw, tuitunli neh tlang, tlang lamkah khaw nang taengla ham pha ni.
[In] that day [also] he shall come even to thee from Assyria, and [from] the fortified cities, and from the fortress even to the river, and from sea to sea, and [from] mountain to mountain.
13 Amih khoboe thaihtae lamloh amah khosa rhoek kongah diklai khaw khopong la poeh ni.
Notwithstanding the land shall be desolate because of them that dwell in it, for the fruit of their doings.
14 Na pilnam te na caitueng neh luem puei laeh. Na rho boiva he duup bueng ah ni kho a sak. Khosuen tue kah bangla Bashan neh Gilead kah cangphil cangngol lakli ah khaw luem uh saeh.
Feed thy people with thy rod, the flock of thy heritage, who dwell solitarily [in] the wood, in the midst of Carmel: let them feed [in] Bashan and Gilead, as in the days of old.
15 Egypt kho lamkah na sunglat tue vaengkah bangla khobaerhambae te kan tueng ni.
According to the days of thy departure from the land of Egypt will I show to him marvelous [things].
16 Namtom loh a hmuh uh vetih amamih kah thayung thamal boeih te a yah uh puei ni. A kut te a ka dongah a puei uh vetih a hna paang uh ni.
The nations shall see and be confounded at all their might: they shall lay [their] hand upon [their] mouth, their ears shall be deaf.
17 Rhul bangla laipi a laeh uh ni. Diklai kah aka kawl uh bangla a puep lamloh tlai uh ni. Mamih kah Pathen BOEIPA taengah birhih uh vetih nang te n'rhih uh ni.
They shall lick the dust like a serpent, they shall move out of their holes like worms of the earth: they shall be afraid of the LORD our God, and shall fear because of thee.
18 Pathen namah bangla thaesainah aka phuei tih a rho a meet ham boekoeknah aka hmil he unim aka om? A thintoek te a yoeyah la pom pawt vetih a sitlohnah ni a omtoem eh.
Who [is] a God like to thee, that pardoneth iniquity, and passeth by the transgression of the remnant of his heritage? he retaineth not his anger for ever, because he delighteth [in] mercy.
19 Mael vetih mamih n'haidam ni. Mamih kathaesainah khaw a khoh ni. Amih kah tholhnah cungkuem te tuitunli kah laedil la na voeih bitni.
He will turn again, he will have compassion upon us; he will subdue our iniquities; and thou wilt cast all their sins into the depths of the sea.
20 Hlamat kum lamloh a pa rhoek taengah na toemngam bangla oltak he Jakob taengah, sitlohnah he Abraham taengah na paek ni.
Thou wilt perform the truth to Jacob, [and] the mercy to Abraham, which thou hast sworn to our fathers from the days of old.
