Micah 7
1 Ada kahitai! Ajeh chu thingga akilona nunga koiman nehding kimu talou bangbeple lengpi theiga leh theichang kichomna nung tabang in kaumdoh tai.
I'm totally miserable! I've become like someone trying to glean summer fruit after the grape harvest is over. I can't find any grapes to eat, and there are no early figs that I love.
2 Leiset chunga Pathen gingte la amangthah gamtan, mihemte laha lungdih pua khatcha Jong aumpon, thisan soa tolthat jeng ahiuve. Ami jousen asopi kipalna dinga thang kamjeng ahiuve.
All the good people in the country are gone, there's no one who does right left anywhere. Everyone is looking to murder others; they try to trap even their own brothers.
3 Akhutuvin thilse jeng a boluvin lung nachang mongin thilse aboluve. Thutanna pang milen milalhon jong nehguh ding akithum thum'un ahi.
They are experts at evil; both officials and judges ask for bribes; the powerful demand their evil desires; and they scheme together to get what they want.
4 Alahuva aphapena kisei jong chu ling tobang ahin, lungdih pentaha kiseipa jong chu ponlah abang’e, min akailuht nadiu nikho leh talen amat nadiu nikho chu hung lhung ding ahitai.
Even the best of them is like a thorny bush, the most honest like a thorn hedge. Your day of judgment that was announced by the prophets, your time of punishment, has arrived. You'rethrown into complete confusion.
5 Koimacha tahsan hihin, nagol ngaitah jeng jong ahilou leh na inneipi jeng jong tahsan hih in.
Don't trust a neighbor, don't rely on a friend. Watch what you say even to the one who lies in your arms.
6 Chapan jong apa, chanun jong anu, mounu in jong atehpi chunga, namelma chu na insung taha kon hiding ahi.
For a son treats his father with contempt; a daughter opposes her mother, and a daughter-in-law her mother-in-law. Your enemies are members of your own family.
7 Keiman Paki jeng bou eipanpi din vejing ingting, eihuhhing ka Pathen kanga jing ding ahi, Chutileh ka Pathen in kataona angai tei ding ahi.
But as for me, I look to the Lord. I will wait for the God who saves me. My God will hear me.
8 Kagal miten duchatah in neive hihun, lhujong leng kathodoh kit ding ahi. Muthim laha toujong leng Pakai chu kameivah hiding ahi.
Don't gloat over me, my enemies! Even though I fall, I will rise again. Though I sit in darkness, the Lord is my light.
9 Pakaiy in eigimbol jongle kathoh hat ding, ajeh chu ama dounaa kachonset jeh in. Ahinlah aman kachung thu hinkhol nante. Kei dinga thu atan masang sea kangai ngai ding ahi. Pakai in khovah a eipuidoh intin, chuteng chon dihna kamu ding ahi.
I will endure the Lord's anger because I have sinned against him. But after that he will argue my case and give me justice. He will bring me into the light and I will see his integrity.
10 Chuteng kamelmaten Pakai kei langa apan ahetdoh diu, na Pakai hoiya umem tia aseiju chu kijumsoa jahchabeh seh diu ahi. Hichenu chu kamit in noise taha avet ding ahi. Amanu chu lamlen kholai dunga min achotpha a leivui chil banga kichil ding ahi.
Then my enemies will see it and cover their faces in shame for taunting me, asking, “Where is the Lord your God?” With my own eyes I will see what happens to them; they will be trodden down like mud in the streets.
11 Hiche niteng chule Israel, nakhopi kisapha kit ding, chule nagamgi ho jong kikehlen ding.
On that day it will be time to build your walls. On that day your boundaries will be extended.
12 Gam tamtah'a kona mipite hunga Assyria a kipana gam latah Egypt, Egypt a kipana Euphrate luipi changei, twipi leh mol ho kallanga, molsang jousea kona lhang sang jouse geija hung diu ahi.
On that day people will come from Assyria and the cities of Egypt, from Egypt to the Euphrates River, from sea to sea, from mountain to mountain.
13 Leiset vang hi agoh keova hunglum ding, ajeh chu masanga ana cheng masaho chonset jeh ahi.
But the rest of the earth will become desolate because of what those who live there have done.
14 O Pakai nakelngoi china tenggollin namite neichingun, nakelngoi honte neilam kaijun, gammang laha hin achangsehin cheng jong leo, amahohi Bashan gamle Gilead gam'a kelngoi lhat bangin lhauhen, gollui laiya bangin umuhen.
Protect your people with your shepherd's rod. Take care of your flock, your special people, who live alone in the wilderness and in cultivated land. Let them feed in Basham and Gilead as they did long ago.
15 Henge, tin Pakaiyin aseije. “Keiman thil kidang nasatah tah kabol peh diu Aigupta a kona nahung potdohuva kanabol banga kabol
Like the time when you left the land of Egypt, I will do miracles for you.
16 Leiset pumpia namtin vaipin kidang asah sahdiu, Pakaiyin nang hi dinga thil kidang abol tengleh jachatna aneidiu, anakoluva jong kho ajah lou diu ahitai.
The nations will see, and they will be humiliated despite their strength. They will cover their mouths with their hands, and their ears shall become deaf.
17 Gul banga levui aleija aledio, leisetna a-opma kithol ganhing banga umdiu ahi. Akulpiuva konna kihot hotna hung potdoh diu, akichat behseh jeh uva Pakai ahin beldiu ahi. Nangma jeh'a amaho hi abonchauva kichasoh kei ding ahiuve.
They will lick the dust like snakes; they will be like the creepy-crawlies of the earth. They will come trembling from their fortresses to meet the Lord our God, fearful and afraid before him.
18 Nang banga agoulo amite ahungdoh amoh chengse dinga themmona, ngaidamna, suhkhelna, subei soh thei Pathen koipen um ding ham? Pathen chu alunghang jing jengpoi, ajeh chu Pakai hi alungset longlou anei hi kipah jo ahibouve.
Who is a God like you who forgives sin and passes over the rebellion of those who are left of his special people? You do not remain angry forever because you delight in showing faithful love.
19 Neihin lungset kit’un natin; ka chonsetnau chengse jong nakengto noija koi in natin; twikhanglen'a na lelutding ahi.
You will have compassion on us again. You will tread our sins under your feet, and you will throw our sins into the depths of the sea.
20 Jacob jong kitahna neitaha nabolla, long louva Abraham nalungset ding, masanglai a kapu kapateu koma na kihahsel banga nabol tei ding ahi.
You will give your trustworthy truth to the people of Jacob, your faithful love to the people of Abraham, as you promised our forefathers long ago.
