< Micah 2 >

1 Ajalkhun chunga alupna muna, ajan jan a thilse bolding ngaitoa gel gelho ada ahiuve, ijeh-inem itileh athodoh teng abol nathei tha aneiyu ahi.
Woe to you who devise useless things and who work evil in your beds. In the morning light, they undertake it, because their hand is against God.
2 Gam phabep na deichat jong chu nakilah jengin ahi, mi koitobang ham insah na deichat jong chu nakilah jengin ahi.
And they have desired fields and have taken them by violence, and they have stolen houses. And they have made false accusations against a man and his house, a man and his inheritance.
3 Hiche hi Pakaiyin asei ahi, “Thilse naboljeha thilse kapeh ding; nanah homma kona na lolchang na bodoh jou lou ding, Chuleh kiletsah tahin lam jot hih'in, phat khohtah hung ding ahi.
For this reason, thus says the Lord: Behold, I devise an evil against this family, from which you will not steal away your necks. And you will not walk in arrogance, because this is a most wicked time.
4 Hiche nikho teng chule nagal miten totnop na-a na nei ding, nang douna-a kiletsahna la asah ding, keiho amongthah kahi tauve, Pakaiyin kamite chanding akheltan, kakoma konin kachanding akilah dohtan ahi.
In that day, a parable will be taken up about you, and a song will be sung with sweetness, saying: “We have been devastated by depopulation.” The fate of my people has been altered. How can he withdraw from me, when he might be turned back, he who might tear apart our country?
5 Pakai miten nagamgi iti kisekhen ham tia aei sangun, michom dangin nagamgi asekhen ding ahitai.
Because of this, there will be for you no casting of the cord of fate in the assembly of the Lord.
6 Hitobang chu seitahih in, mipiten adonbutuve. Hitobng chun gaothu seidan.
Do not speak by saying, “It will not drop on these ones; shame will not embrace them.”
7 O Israel insung mite, hitobanga hi thu kiseimong mong ding hinam? Pakai lhagao chu thohhat taha um mong hinam? Adih chu nabol nom leh, kilhamonna thu keija kona najah ding ahiye.
The house of Jacob says, “Has the Spirit of the Lord been weakened, or are such things his thoughts?” Are not my words good for him who walks uprightly?
8 Tutahin kamite eidoudin akipanun, galmite bangin, mi lungmonga umjong anung lamah asangkhol na holhah pehun, kiphatlam taha umho jong gal nabol khumuve.
But, to the contrary, my people have risen up in opposition. You have lifted the cover from the undergarment, and those who passed by harmlessly, you have converted into war.
9 Kamite numeiho, nomtah a achennaova konin anodoh un, achateo asenhoa konin jong Pathen loupina alamang tauve.
You have evicted the women among my people from their delicate houses. You have taken my praise forever from their little ones.
10 Kipatdoh un! Chetauvin! Hikom mun hi na gamule na in-u ahipoi, nangho dinga chonsetna dimset mun ahi, chule themmona jeh'a kichai deh jeng nahiuve.
Rise and depart, for there is no relief for you here. Because of its uncleanness, it will be corrupted with a most wicked decay.
11 Avetkah nan Themgao tamtah laha jousei themgao khat in, na kom ah, “Keiman tunia ju leh khamna theija Kipana Thupha kasei ding ahi!” ati.
I wish that I were not a man who has breath, and that I rather spoke a lie. I will drop it down to you in wine and in drunkenness. And it will be this people on whom it will rain down.
12 “Nikhat leh O Israel keiman kahin khop ding nahiuve, keiman akidalha amoh chengse kahin khop ding nahiuve, kelngoihonte banga hamhing laha kahin lonkhom kit ding nahiuve. Heng’e, na gamuva mi hung tam kit ding ahi.
I will gather together in a congregation all of you, Jacob. I will lead together as one, the remnant of Israel. I will set them together like a flock in the fold, like a sheep in the midst of the sheep pen. They will cause a tumult before the multitude of men.
13 Na lamkaiteuvin nakikai mong naova kona nasuhtup kitdiu ahi, chule nagalmiteu kelkot phunga kona na hong sunga nahung kile kit dingu ahi, na Lengpaovin na lamkai untin na Pakaiyu mong mongin na ventup jing dingu ahi”.
For he will ascend, opening the way before them. They will separate, and they will cross the gate and enter through it. And their king will pass by, before their very eyes, and the Lord will be at their head.
