Micah 3
1 Ngaijuvin, nangho Israel lamkaihon, nangho adihlouva kona adih hekhen ho.
And I said, Hear, I pray you, ye heads of Jacob, and princes 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.
Ye who hate the good, and love evil; who pluck off their skin from them, and their flesh from off their bones;
3 Kamite aphe naneovin, avun jouse nalip dohuvin, agu nahebohpehuvin asa’u, sa kihonna belsunga sa hon bangin na kihonuvin ahi.
and who eat the flesh of my people, and flay their skin from off them, and break their bones, and chop them in pieces as for the pot, and as flesh within the cauldron.
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.
Then shall they cry unto Jehovah, but he will not answer them; and he will hide his face from them at that time, according as they have wrought evil in their doings.
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 Jehovah concerning the prophets that cause my people to err, that bite with their teeth, and cry, Peace! but whoso putteth not into their mouths they prepare war against him:
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 ye shall have night without a vision; and it shall be dark unto you, without divination; and the sun shall go down upon the prophets, and the day shall be black over 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 shall be ashamed, and the diviners confounded; and they shall all cover their lips, for there will be no answer of God.
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.
But truly I am filled with power by the Spirit of Jehovah, and with judgment and with might, to declare unto Jacob his transgression, and to Israel his sin.
9 Kasei ngaijuvin, Israel lamkaiho! nang hon thu adiha kitan natheuvin, akitoha thilbol nahei monguvin ahi.
Hear this, I pray you, ye heads of the house of Jacob, and princes of the house of Israel, that abhor judgment, and pervert all equity,
10 Nanghon Jerusalem jou leh nal chuleh thisan so pumin na sauvin ahi.
that build up Zion with blood, and Jerusalem with unrighteousness.
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 judge for reward, and the priests thereof teach for hire, and the prophets thereof divine for money; yet do they lean upon Jehovah, and say, Is not Jehovah in the midst of 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 shall Zion for your sake be ploughed [as] a field, and Jerusalem shall become heaps, and the mountain of the house as the high places of a forest.
