< Micah 4 >
1 Ninunung leh Pakai Hou in molsang hi molsang jouse laha asang pena hung kitung doh ding, vannoi pumpia dinga munpipen hung hiding ahi. Hiche molsanga chu mitin vaipi hung long khoma Pathen ahou khom diu ahi.
But it shall come to pass, in the afterpart of the days, that the mountain of the house of Yahweh shall be, set up, as the head of the mountains, and, exalted, shall it be, above the hills, —and peoples, shall stream thereunto;
2 Namtina kona mipite hung kikhoma asei diu, “Hungun Pakai molsang a kaltou uu hitin Jacob Pathen henga chun. Hiche muna chu aman lampi eihil dingu chule aman eihilnao lampia chu ichediu ahi. Chutengle eihon jong Pakai lampi semsa dung’a iche theidiu ahi.
Yea many nations, shall go, and say—come ye, and let us ascend unto the mountain of Yahweh, and unto the house of the God of Jacob, that he may teach us of his ways, and we may walk in his paths, —for, out of Zion, shall go forth a law, and, the word of Yahweh, out of Jerusalem;
3 Pakaiyin namtin vaipi kaha chamna asem ding, chuteng leh mihon a chemjam’u tucha-a akikhen uva, atengcha’u jong kang kuija akikhendiu, namkhatin namkhat douna- a chemjam alap louhel diu ahitai.
And he will judge between many peoples, and be umpire to strong nations far and wide, —and they will beat their swords into ploughshares, and their spears into pruning-hooks, Nation—against nation—shall not lift up sword, neither shall they learn—any more—to make war.
4 Mitin chamnale lungmona-a khosadiu, miho jousen ama ama lengpigui limnoi le theichang phung noija nomsa taha hinkho amandiu, kichatna mong mong umtalou ding, Vana kona Pakai galmihon atepsa ahitai.
And they shall dwell—every man—under his own vine and under his own fig-tree, with none to make them afraid, —for, the mouth of Yahweh of hosts, hath spoken.
5 Akimvelluva mitinin ama ama doihou cheh-u Pathen in houjong leu, Eihon vang Pakai i-Pathen- u atonsot atonsot geija ijui jing diu ahi.
For, all the peoples, walk, every man in the name of his god, —we, therefore, will walk in the name of Yahweh our God, to times age-abiding and beyond.
6 Hiche nikho ahunglhun teng tah chuleh “A elbai jouse kakhop khomsoh keija, min adelmong jouse jong kakhopkhom ding chuleh keiman kasuh lhaset jouse jong kakhopkhom dingu ahi.
In that day, Declareth Yahweh, will I take up her teat is lame, and, her that hath been an outcast, will I carry, —even whomsoever I have afflicted;
7 Koitobang alhasam jouse jong kakihin sosah chehdiu, migama kikai mongsa ho jong namlen ka sosah ding ahi. Chuteng keima Pakaiyin tonsot geija Jerusalema lengvai kapoh ding ahi.”
And will make of her that was lame a residue, and of her that was removed far away a strong nation, —and Yahweh, shall be king, over them, in Mount Zion, from henceforth, even unto times age-abiding.
8 Nang Jerusalem chanu, Pathen mite chenna, lengvaipohna thaneitah nei, na vaihopna hung kile kitding ahi, nang man tamtah Jerusalem.
Thou, therefore, O Migdal-eder, mound of the daughter of Zion, as far as thee, shall it come, —so shall arrive the chief dominion, the kingdom of the daughter of Jerusalem.
9 Ipi bolla tua hi genthei tah’a kap nahim? Na lamkai ding leng naneilou hitam? Na michingho thigama hitam? numei naosonat in aphah banga na nahi hitam?
Meanwhile, wherefore shouldst thou cry out aloud? King, is there none within thee? or hath, thy counselor, perished? for labour, hath seized thee, as a woman in child-birth: —
10 Vo Zion chanu, numei naoso nat in aphah-a athohlal bang in kipeh le le jeng in. Ajeh chu tua hi nangman khopi hi nadalhah ding ahitai, gangtaha gamla taha Babylona nakikai mong ding ahitai.
Be in labour, and bear, O daughter of Zion, as a woman in child-birth, —for, meanwhile, shalt thou go forth out of the city, and dwell in the field, and shalt come as far as Babylon, there, shalt thou be delivered, there, will Yahweh, redeem thee, out of the grasp of thine enemies.
11 Tua hi namtin vaipi nangma doudinga hung kikhom ding ahitai. Ahinlah hia chun Pakaiyin naveng intin, nagal mite-a kon in nahuhdoh nante.
Meanwhile, therefore, shall be gathered against thee many nations, —who are saying—Let her be defiled, and let our eyes gaze upon Zion.
12 Ahinlah amahon Pathen lunggel le athilgon ahepouve. Pathen in ipibolla amite asuh gentheija, ajepma akhoptup kit ham ti hi, hiche nam miten ahetheipouve.
But, they, know not the purposes of Yahweh, neither have they discerned his counsel, —for he hath gathered them, as sheaves, to a threshing-floor.
13 Kipatdoh inlang nam hohi suchip in, O Jerusalem Keiman thih saki hole sum eng chaokol kapeh ding nahin, nam tampi ahel hella navoh chip ding ahi. Nangman agou anei hou amansah hou chu Pakai angsunga napeh lut kit ding ahi.
Arise and thresh, O daughter of Zion, for, thy horn, will I make to be iron, and, thy hoofs, will I make to he bronze, so shalt thou beat in pieces many peoples, —and shalt devote to Yahweh their unrighteous gain, and their substance, to the Lord of all the earth.
