Micah 6

1 Pakaiyin ipi aseijem ngaijuvin, kipat dohin lang na chung chang thuhi molsang jouse maijah ahetoh ding in phongdoh temin.

Hear, I pray you, that which Jehovah is saying: 'Rise — strive thou with the mountains, And cause thou the hills to hear thy voice.'

2 Chule tun, O molsang jouse Pakai minel na thu kiseidoh hi ngaijuvin, aman amite chungah kinelna thu aseiye. Ami Israelte chunga gahna apeh ding ahi.

Hear, O mountains, the strife of Jehovah, Ye strong ones — foundations of earth! For a strife [is] to Jehovah, with His people, And with Israel He doth reason.

3 O kamite, nachunguva ipi kabolset em? Nachunguva ipi kabol gentheina umem? Nei donbut un.

O My people, what have I done to thee? And what — have I wearied thee? Testify against Me.

4 Chujong leh keiman Egypt gam'a konin kahin puidohuvin chuleh nabulput na henlhah nauva konin kana lhatdoh tauvin ahi. Aaron, Mose chule Miriam nakithopi dinguvin kahin sollin ahi.

For I brought thee up from the land of Egypt, And from the house of servants I have ransomed thee, And I send before thee Moses, Aaron, and Miriam.

5 Kamite, nageldoh lou-u mong ham? Moab lengpa Baalak chun itobanga thilse anagon hija, Beor chapa Balaam chun itobanga ana donbut ham, kamiten geldohuvin. Chule Acace muna kipana Gilgal chengeija nakholjinnao chu geldohuvin. Keima na Pakaiyuvin kakitahna a thil ijakai kabolpeh nahiuve.

O My people, remember, I pray you, What counsel did Balak king of Moab, What answer him did Balaam son of Beor, (From Shittim unto Gilgal, ) In order to know the righteous acts of Jehovah.'

6 Ipi thilpeh choija Pakai angsunga kalut dingham? Itobang maicham thil kapeh ding ham? Bongnou jeng pumgo thiltoa kachoilutna a ang sunga bohkhupma kapoh lut ding ham?

With what do I come before Jehovah? Do I bow to God Most High? Do I come before Him with burnt-offerings? With calves — sons of a year?

7 Kelngoi chaljeng asang asang chule vadung sangsom jen dimset Olive thaotwi kapehleh lunglhai mong ding hinam? Ka chonset ngaidamna dinga kacha apeng masapen kapeha lunglhai ding hinam?

Is Jehovah pleased with thousands of rams? With myriads of streams of oil? Do I give my first-born [for] my transgression? The fruit of my body [for] the sin of my soul?

8 Vo mihem, Pakaiyin thilpha chu navetsahsa ahitai, Pakaiy in nanga kona adei chu ipiham? Thu adiha natanpeha, mi khoto ding nakhohsaha, chule na Pathen nunga kinemsahtaha lam najot ding hi ahibouve.

He hath declared to thee, O man, what [is] good; Yea, what is Jehovah requiring of thee, Except — to do judgment, and love kindness, And lowly to walk with thy God?

9 Nachiha ahileh Pakai ging in! Pakai ogin in Jerusalem a mijouse akouve. Sugenthei dingin Pakaiyin galmi ahin sol’e.

A voice of Jehovah to the city calleth, And wisdom doth fear Thy name, Hear ye the rod, and Him who appointed it.

10 Migilou insunga kikhol gitlouna, joulhepna chu ken ipi kasei ding ham? Gaosap na chunga thil adihlou kite chu kasuh mil thei ding hinam?

Are there yet [in] the house of the wicked Treasures of wickedness, And the abhorred scanty ephah?

11 Thil tena dihlouva kitea, hitobanga lhing louva kiveiho chu, keiman iti kathoh ding ham?

Do I reckon [it] pure with balances of wickedness? And with a bag of deceitful stones?

12 Nalahuva mihaothei hon jong pumhat jeng athouvin, nagam mite hon jong jou thu jeng aseijuve.

Whose rich ones have been full of violence, And its inhabitants have spoken falsehood, And their tongue [is] deceitful in their mouth.

13 Hijeh a chu keiman nang kadenpan nahitai! Na chonset jeh'a ahomkeova kajam nahitai.

And I also, I have begun to smite thee, To make desolate, because of thy sins.

14 Nejong lechun nava theilou ding, na oisunga nagil keljing jeng ding, sum kikholdoh nan natin, ema na koidoh thei lou ding, nangin na kholdohsa chu keiman najou dingho kapeh ding ahi.

Thou — thou eatest, and thou art not satisfied, And thy pit [is] in thy midst, And thou removest, and dost not deliver, And that which thou deliverest, to a sword I give.

15 Muchi natu jing jeng ding, ahinlah aga nalo louhel ding ahi, Olive thao naheh heh ding, ahinla nangman thaotui nanei lou ding ahi.

Thou — thou sowest, and thou dost not reap, Thou — thou treadest the olive, And thou pourest not out oil, And new wine — and thou drinkest not wine.

16 Omri kitipa dan semsa najuijin, Ahab leng giloutah nung na juiyin, hijeh a chu mipi namu jousen ija nahsah louva nanuisat ding ahi.

And kept habitually are the statutes of Omri, And all the work of the house of Ahab, And ye do walk in their counsels, For My giving thee for a desolation, And its inhabitants for a hissing, And the reproach of My people ye do bear!
