Micah 3
1 Ngaijuvin, nangho Israel lamkaihon, nangho adihlouva kona adih hekhen ho.
And he shall say, Hear now these words, ye heads of the house of Jacob, and ye remnant of the house of Israel; is it not for you to know judgment?
2 Ahinlah nanghon thilpha nahouvin, thilphalou nangailuve, nanghon kamite ahing changin avun nalip doh pehun, aphe jouse jong agua konin naleodohpehun ahi.
[who] hate good, and seek evil; [who] tear their skins off them, and their flesh off their bones:
3 Kamite aphe naneovin, avun jouse nalip dohuvin, agu nahebohpehuvin asa’u, sa kihonna belsunga sa hon bangin na kihonuvin ahi.
even as they devoured the flesh of my people, and stripped their skins off them, and broke their bones, and divided [them] as flesh for the caldron, and as meat for the pot,
4 Chutengleh nahahsat genthei niuleh Pakai hengah panpina ngaichan nathum kitun, na taonao na sanpeh diuva naginchat mongu hinam? Thilse tampi nabol jou keijuva, Pakai angsunga thil na thumuleh, amit kale changa jong navet louhel diu ahi.
thus they shall cry to the Lord, but he shall not hearken to them; and he shall turn away his face from them at that time, because they have done wickedly in their practices against themselves.
5 Hiche hi Pakaiyin asei ahi. “Nang ho, themgao lhem hon kamite napui mong tauve! Anneh ding napeteu henga kichamna thun na kiteppiuvin, ahinlah nehding napenomloute hengah gal nabol khumun ahi.
Thus saith the Lord concerning the prophets that lead my people astray, that bit with their teeth, and proclaim peace to them; and [when] nothing was put into their mouth, they raised up war against them:
6 Tua hi nangho jan muthim tobanga naum diu, themgao thilmu banga namu lou diu, ahitai. Muthimin na umkimvellu ahitai, chuleh nahin nikhou achaina lam hiding ahitai.
therefore there shall be night to you instead of a vision, and there shall be to you darkness instead of prophecy; and the sun shall go down upon the prophets, and the day shall be dark upon them.
7 Chuteng gao thilmu neipa jong kijumso ding, chuleh mitva neipa jong kisih ding chuleh pon a na mai nakitom ding, ajeh chu Pathen’a kona donbutna namu tahlou jeh ahi.
And the seers of night-visions shall be ashamed, and the prophets shall be laughed to scorn: and all the people shall speak against them, because there shall be none to hearken to them.
8 Ahivangin kei dingin vang katha ahat in, lhasam louvin Pakai Lhagao thahat nan kadim jing nai. Keima Pakai thutah leh ahatnan kadim jingnai Israel chonsetna hangsan tahin ka doudal jing’e.
Surely I will strengthen myself with the Spirit of the Lord, and of judgment, and of power, to declare to Jacob his transgressions, and to Israel his sins.
9 Kasei ngaijuvin, Israel lamkaiho! nang hon thu adiha kitan natheuvin, akitoha thilbol nahei monguvin ahi.
Hear now these words, ye chiefs of the house of Jacob, and the remnant of the house of Israel, who hate judgment, and pervert all righteousness;
10 Nanghon Jerusalem jou leh nal chuleh thisan so pumin na sauvin ahi.
who build up Sion with blood, and Jerusalem with iniquity.
11 Lamkaija panghon nehguh muna dingin thu natanuvin! Thempua panghon jong Pathen danbu sum lonan thu nahillun, Themgaova pang hon jong sum munana dingin gaothu aseijun, ahijeng vang'in Pakai jenga bou kingai in bou, naki seijuve. “Ema akhohpoi keiho heng lam ah hung un.” ajeh chu Pakai eiho laha aume natiuve.
The heads thereof have judged for gifts, and the priests thereof have answered for hire, and her prophets have divined for silver: and [yet] they have rested on the Lord, saying, Is not the Lord among us? no evil shall come upon us.
12 Nangho jeh'a Zion lhang jong loulai kikai banga kikai ding, Jerusalem jong mangthah dinga kemsuh ding! Gammang soh tading, tule tua houin kisah namun khu.
Therefore on your account Sion shall be ploughed as a field, and Jerusalem shall be as a storehouse of fruits, and the mountain of the house as a grove of the forest.
