< Micah 1 >
1 Pakaiyin hiche thuhi Jotham phatlaija Micah henga anasei ahi. Ahaz le Hezekiah chu Judate leng ana hilhonin, Samaria le Jerusalem chungchang thua thil anamu sahin ahi.
The word of the LORD that came to Micah the Morasthite in the days of Jotham, Ahaz, [and] Hezekiah, kings of Judah, which he saw concerning Samaria and Jerusalem.
2 Kigosan umun! Vannoija um chitin namtin jousen, ngaijuvin nangho vannoija um mitin vaipi jousen, Vo leisetle asunga umjousen ngaisoh keijun, Pakai thaneipenin Houin thenga konin nang ho dounan hettohsah in apang jinge.
Hear, all ye people; hearken, O earth, and all that therein is: and let the Lord GOD be witness against you, the Lord from his holy temple.
3 Ven! Pakai ahung’e! A van mun alaltouna a hin dalhaha, leiset munsang lai jouse ahin chotpha ding ahi.
For behold, the LORD cometh forth from his place, and will come down, and tread upon the high places of the earth.
4 Molsang jouse akengto noija jolsoh ding, phaichama longluta, khoilu meiyin akah jolla, asuhlanga twi kisunglha bang ding ahi.
And the mountains shall be melted under him, and the valleys shall be cleft, as wax before the fire, [and] as the waters [that are] poured down a steep place.
5 Ipi-jeh'a hitobang thil sohham! Ajeh chu Israel galbol jeh le Juda insung pumpi chonset jeh ahi – a nampumpi chonset jeh ahi; Israel galbol hi koi pentah themmo kichansah ding ham? Samaria akhopiu! A milim doi hounau khopi lailung hoilai ham? Akhopiu Jerusalem ahi.
For the transgression of Jacob [is] all this, and for the sins of the house of Israel. What [is] the transgression of Jacob? [is it] not Samaria? and what [are] the high places of Judah? [are they] not Jerusalem?
6 Hijeh chun, kei Pakaiyin Samaria kho hi tollhanga alomchanga kasetna min lengpilei bolna bepma kaumsaha, lhang chunga songpal jouse jong phaichama katollhaha, khombul jouse jong kakal doh ding ahi.
Therefore I will make Samaria as a heap of the field, [and] as plantings of a vineyard: and I will pour down her stones into the valley, and I will lay bare her foundations.
7 Khopi sunga milim doi kisem thuho jouse jong kavoh chip ding, alodoh agou jouse jong meiya kahal vamding, ajeh chu hiti ho jouse chu aboncha notiho mana kidong khoma kimu ahi.
And all her graven images shall be beaten to pieces, and all her hires shall be burned with the fire, and all her idols will I lay desolate: for she gathered [it] from the hire of a harlot, and they shall return to the hire of a harlot.
8 Hijeh chun keiman lunghemin pul dou’inge. Kengchot se lou in keng keovin vahle ing’e. Sial bangin ham- ingting, chule sumbupi bangin lunghem- inge.
Therefore I will wail and howl, I will go stripped and naked: I will make a wailing like the dragons, and mourning as the owls.
9 Ajeh chu Pakaiyin kamite abolsetna ma ha hi amelsebeh seh jeng tan, adamdohna ding ahahsabeh seh jenge, kamite Jerusalem kelkot phung ahung geitai.
For her wound [is] incurable; for it is come to Judah; he is come to the gate of my people, [even] to Jerusalem.
10 Igalmi Gath jah a seipoh hihhel un, Beth Lephrah a jong kap hih hellun kinepna vetsahnan natahsao leivui laha kilihle leovin.
Declare ye [it] not at Gath, weep ye not at all: in the house of Aphrah roll thyself in the dust.
11 Nangho Shaphir- a um mite, sohchang kikai mong bangin, sagohkeole jahchan kile kit tauvin. Nang ho Zaanan mite kulpia konin potdohdatauvin. Nangho Beth-ezel mite lunghem un, nakhopiu khombul jouse akilon soh tah jeh in.
Pass ye away, thou inhabitant of Saphir, having thy shame exposed: the inhabitant of Zaanan came not forth in the mourning of Beth-ezel; he shall receive from you his standing.
12 Nangho Maroth a um miten vang panpina hung ding nangah lallheh jengui, ahinlah Pakaiya kona khaveng vung thutanna ahung lenglhan, Jerusalem kotpi phung ahung geitai.
For the inhabitant of Maroth waited anxiously for good: but evil came down from the LORD to the gate of Jerusalem.
13 Lachish khoa chengte, nasakol kangtalai a kaina ding bupeh unlang lhauvin, nangho Juda mite, khopi masapen nahiuve, nanghon Jeusalem chonsetna a napuilut’u ahitai.
O thou inhabitant of Lachish, bind the chariot to the swift beast: she [is] the beginning of the sin to the daughter of Zion: for the transgressions of Israel were found in thee.
14 Moresheth-gat jong chu kilhahna ding thilpeh tilou hoidoh nading umlou ahitai. Aczib khopi mite, Israel lengpa dinga lheplhaha hung pang ding nahitauve.
Therefore shalt thou give presents to Moresheth-gath: the houses of Achzib [shall be] a lie to the kings of Israel.
15 O Mareshah mite nakhopi jou ding galmi nahenga kahinpuilut ding ahi, chule Israel lamkaiho, Israel loupina chu Adulam henga che ding ahitai.
Yet will I bring an heir to thee, O inhabitant of Mareshah: he shall come to Adullam the glory of Israel.
16 Oh Juda mite ho, lunghem vetsahnan, nalujang sam kivotolunlang, muthong bangin lutol deldullin um uvin, ajeh chu nachate nahenga kona migama sohchanga kikai mong ding ahitauve.
Make thee bald, and poll thee for thy delicate children; enlarge thy baldness as the eagle; for they are gone into captivity from thee.
