Mikah 4

1 A hnukteng e tueng dawk, BAWIPA im a onae mon teh, monsomnaw dawkvah ka tawm vaiteh ka caksak han. Tami pueng teh hote mon koe a kamkhueng awh han.

And at the last days the mountain of the Lord shall be manifest, established on the tops of the mountains, and it shall be exalted above the hills; and the peoples shall hasten to it.

2 Miphunnaw pueng ni hai tho awh haw, BAWIPA mon dawk, Cathut e mon, Jakop Cathut e im dawk luen a sei, lamthungnaw hah na patue, na cangkhai awh vaiteh, maimouh ni a khokhnuk hah dawn awh han toe telah a cei laihoi a dei awh han. A lawk teh Zion mon dawk hoi thoseh, Cathut Lawk teh Jerusalem khopui koehoi thoseh, a tâco han.

And many nations shall go, and say, Come, let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, and to the house of the God of Jacob; and they shall show us his way, and we will walk in his paths: for out of Sion shall go forth a law, and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem.

3 BAWIPA ni miphunnaw rahak vah lawkceng vaiteh, ahlanae koe kaawm ni teh athakaawme miphunnaw hah a yue han. Ahnimae tahloi pueng teh thunha lah thoseh, tahroenaw teh ramalongkawi lah thoseh, a dei pouh han. Ram hoi ram hai kâtuk awh mahoeh toe. Taran tuknae hai kamtu awh mahoeh toe.

And he shall judge amongst many peoples, and shall rebuke strong nations afar off; and they shall beat their swords into ploughshares, and their spears into sickles; and nation shall no more lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn to war any more.

4 Tami pueng ni amae misurkung, amae thaibunglung rahim a tahung awh han. Taki kawi buet touh hai awm mahoeh toe telah ransahu BAWIPA ni a dei.

And every one shall rest under his vine, and every one under his fig tree; and there shall be none to alarm [them]: for the mouth of the Lord Almighty has spoken these [words].

5 Miphun pueng ni amamae cathut teh ouk a bawk awh. Hatei, maimouh teh mamae BAWIPA Cathut e min hah pout laipalah kângue awh han.

For all [other] nations shall walk everyone in his own way, but we will walk in the name of the Lord our God for ever and ever.

6 BAWIPA ni telah a dei, hatnae tueng nah, khokkhem e naw ka kaw han, pâlei lah kaawm e tami, rucatnae kâhmo sak e taminaw hah ka kamkhueng sak han.

In that day, says the Lord, I will gather her that is bruised, and will receive her that is cast out, and those whom I rejected.

7 Khokkhemnaw kacawi sak han, pâlei e taminaw hah thakasaipounge miphun lah ka coung sak han. BAWIPA ni Zion mon dawk ahnimouh teh atu hoi kamtawng vaiteh pout laipalah a uk han.

And I will make her that was bruised a remnant, and her that was rejected a mighty nation: and the Lord shall reign over them in mount Sion from henceforth, even for ever.

8 Oe, imrasang, zion canu rapanim, nang ni na uk han, ahmaloe e kâ na tawn e bout na tawn han, a uknaeram teh Jerusalem canu kut dawk bout a pha han.

And you, dark tower of the flock, daughter of Sion, on you the dominion shall come and enter in, [even] the first kingdom from Babylon to the daughter of Jerusalem.

9 Bangkongmaw atu puenghoi na ka. Nang thung siangpahrang buet touh hai awm hoeh nahoehmaw. Pouknae kapoekung kahmakata na ou. Camo ka khe e napui patetlah reithai na khang toung bo aw.

And now, why have you known calamities? was there not a king to you? or has your counsel perished that pangs as of a woman in travail have seized upon you?

10 Oe, Zion canu, camo ka khe e napui patetlah reithainae na khang teh, ca khe hanlah tha kâueng haw. Khopui dawk hoi nang teh na tâco vaiteh, kahrawng vah na o han. Babilon khopui totouh na cei han. Hote khopui dawk na hlout han. Hote khopui dawk BAWIPA ni taran kut dawk hoi na ratang han.

Be in pain, and strengthen yourself, and draw near, O daughter of Sion, as a woman in travail: for now you shall go forth out of the city, and shall lodge in the plain, and shall reach even to Babylon: thence shall the Lord your God deliver you, and thence shall he redeem you out of the hand of your enemies.

11 Atu miphunnaw ni, Zion khopui teh khin lawi naseh, ahni dawk maimae lungngainae kuep naseh telah nangmouh hoi kâtaran lah a kamkhueng awh vaiteh a dei awh han.

And now have many nations gathered against you, saying, We will rejoice, and our eyes shall look upon Sion.

12 Hatei, BAWIPA e pouknae hoi noenae panuek thai awh hoeh. Cabongnaw cangkatinnae dawk pâkhueng e patetlah hote taminaw a pâkhueng.

But they know not the thought of the Lord, and have not understood his counsel: for he has gathered them as sheaves of the floor.

13 Oe, Zion canu thaw la teh katin haw, na ki hah sum hoi thoseh, khoksamennaw hah rahum hoi thoseh, ka sak han. Nang ni miphunnaw pueng vitpatit lah na katin han. Ahnimae hnopai ka la pouh vaiteh talai pueng be ka uk e BAWIPA hah ka poe han.

Arise, and thresh them, O daughter of Sion: for I will make your horns iron, and I will make your hoofs brass: and you shall utterly destroy many nations, and shall consecrate their abundance to the Lord, and their strength to the Lord of all the earth.
