< 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.
Misery is mine! Indeed, I am like one who gathers the summer fruits, as gleanings of the vineyard. There is no cluster of grapes to eat. My soul desires to eat the early fig.
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.
The godly man has perished out of the earth, and there is no one upright among men. They all lie in wait for blood; every man hunts his brother with a net.
3 Akhutuvin thilse jeng a boluvin lung nachang mongin thilse aboluve. Thutanna pang milen milalhon jong nehguh ding akithum thum'un ahi.
Their hands are on that which is evil to do it diligently. The ruler and judge ask for a bribe. The powerful man dictates the evil desire of his soul. Thus they conspire together.
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.
The best of them is like a brier. The most upright is worse than a thorn hedge. The day of your watchmen, even your visitation, has come; now is the time of their confusion.
5 Koimacha tahsan hihin, nagol ngaitah jeng jong ahilou leh na inneipi jeng jong tahsan hih in.
Don’t trust in a neighbor. Don’t put confidence in a friend. With the woman lying in your embrace, be careful of the words of your mouth!
6 Chapan jong apa, chanun jong anu, mounu in jong atehpi chunga, namelma chu na insung taha kon hiding ahi.
For the son dishonors the father, the daughter rises up against her mother, the daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law; a man’s enemies are the men of his own house.
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 will look to the LORD. I will wait for the God of my salvation. 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 rejoice against me, my enemy. When I fall, I will arise. When I sit in darkness, the LORD will be a light to me.
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 bear the indignation of the LORD, because I have sinned against him, until he pleads my case and executes judgment for me. He will bring me out to the light. I will see his righteousness.
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 enemy will see it, and shame will cover her who said to me, “Where is the LORD your God?” My eyes will see her. Now she will be trodden down like the mire of the streets.
11 Hiche niteng chule Israel, nakhopi kisapha kit ding, chule nagamgi ho jong kikehlen ding.
A day to build your walls! In that day, he will extend your boundary.
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.
In that day they will come to you from Assyria and the cities of Egypt, and from Egypt even to the River, and from sea to sea, and mountain to mountain.
13 Leiset vang hi agoh keova hunglum ding, ajeh chu masanga ana cheng masaho chonset jeh ahi.
Yet the land will be desolate because of those who dwell therein, for the fruit of their doings.
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.
Shepherd your people with your staff, the flock of your heritage, who dwell by themselves in a forest. Let them feed in the middle of fertile pasture land, in Bashan and Gilead, as in the days of old.
15 Henge, tin Pakaiyin aseije. “Keiman thil kidang nasatah tah kabol peh diu Aigupta a kona nahung potdohuva kanabol banga kabol
“As in the days of your coming out of the land of Egypt, I will show them marvelous things.”
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 be ashamed of all their might. They will lay their hand on their mouth. Their ears will be 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 a serpent. Like crawling things of the earth, they will come trembling out of their dens. They will come with fear to the LORD our God, and will be afraid because of you.
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 pardons iniquity, and passes over the disobedience of the remnant of his heritage? He doesn’t retain his anger forever, because he delights in loving kindness.
19 Neihin lungset kit’un natin; ka chonsetnau chengse jong nakengto noija koi in natin; twikhanglen'a na lelutding ahi.
He will again have compassion on us. He will tread our iniquities under foot. You will cast all their 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 truth to Jacob, and mercy to Abraham, as you have sworn to our fathers from the days of old.
