< 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 aneiju ahi.
Woe to those that devise wickedness, and resolve on evil upon their couches! by the first light of the morning they execute it, if they have it in the power of their hand.
2 Gam phabep na deichat jong chu nakilah jengin ahi, mi koitobang ham insah na deichat jong chu nakilah jengin ahi.
And they covet fields, and rob them; and houses, and take them away: so they defraud the master and his house, and the man and his heritage.
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.
Therefore thus hath said the Lord, Behold, I will devise against this family an evil, from which ye shall not remove your necks; nor shall ye go erect; for it is an evil 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.
On that day shall one take up a parable against you, and lament with a mournful lamentation, and say, “We are utterly wasted: the portion of my people hath he exchanged; how hath he removed it from me! instead of restoring [them to us] he divideth our fields.”
5 Pakai miten nagamgi iti kisekhen ham tia aei sangun, michom dangin nagamgi asekhen ding ahitai.
Therefore shalt thou have none that shall draw the [measuring] cord in [his] lot in the congregation of the Lord.
6 Hitobang chu seitahih in, mipiten adonbutuve. Hitobng chun gaothu seidan.
“Preach not;” [but] they shall preach: they shall not preach [indeed] to these, that reproach may not overtake 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.
Shall it be said [in] the house of Jacob, Is the spirit of the Lord straightened? are these his doings? Do not my words do good to him that walketh 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 long since is my people risen up as an enemy: from the garment do you pull off the ornament; of those that pass by securely [ye make] men returned from war.
9 Kamite numeiho, nomtah a achennaova konin anodoh un, achateo asenhoa konin jong Pathen loupina alamang tauve.
The wives of my people do you drive out of their delightful houses; from their children do ye take away my ornament for ever.
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.
Arise ye, and depart; for this is not your resting-place; because it is polluted, it shall destroy [you], even with a grievous destruction.
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.
If a man that goeth after wind and lieth with falsehood [should say], “I will preach unto thee of wine and of strong drink:” he would be a preacher for this people.
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 [once] surely assemble, O Jacob, all of thee; I will surely gather up the remnant of Israel; I will place them together as flocks in the fold, as droves in the midst of their pen: they shall be crowded with 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”.
The wall-breaker cometh up before them; they break in and pass through the gate, and go out by it: and their king passeth on before them, and the Lord at their head.
