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 it has come to pass, In the latter end of the days, The mountain of the house of YHWH Is established above the top of the mountains, And it has been lifted up above the hills, And flowed to it have peoples.
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 gone have many nations and said, “Come and we go up to the mountain of YHWH, And to the house of the God of Jacob, And He teaches us of His ways, And we walk in His paths,” For a law goes forth from Zion, And a word of YHWH 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 has judged between many peoples, And given a decision to mighty nations far off, They have beaten their swords to plowshares, And their spears to pruning-hooks, Nation does not lift up sword to nation, Nor do they learn war anymore.
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 they have sat each under his vine, And under his fig tree, And there is none troubling, For the mouth of YHWH of Hosts has spoken.
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 the peoples walk, Each in the name of its god—and we, We walk in the Name of our God YHWH, For all time and forever.
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,” a declaration of YHWH, “I gather the halting one, And the driven away one I bring together, And she whom I have afflicted.
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 have set the halting for a remnant, And the far-off for a mighty nation, And YHWH has reigned over them in Mount Zion, From now on, and for all time.
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, O Tower of Eder, Fort of the daughter of Zion, to you it comes, Indeed, the former rule has come in, The kingdom 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.
Now why do you shout aloud? Is there no king in you? Has your counselor perished, That pain as of a travailing woman has taken hold of 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 pained, and bring forth, O daughter of Zion, As a travailing woman, For now you go forth from the city, And you have dwelt in the field, And you have gone to Babylon, There you are delivered, There YHWH redeems you from 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, many nations have gathered against you, who are saying: “Let her be defiled, and our eyes look on Zion.”
12 Hatei, BAWIPA e pouknae hoi noenae panuek thai awh hoeh. Cabongnaw cangkatinnae dawk pâkhueng e patetlah hote taminaw a pâkhueng.
They have not known the thoughts of YHWH, Nor have they understood His counsel, For He has gathered them as a sheaf [into] a threshing-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, O daughter of Zion, For I make your horn iron, And I make your hooves bronze, And you have beaten small many peoples, And I have devoted to YHWH their gain, And their wealth to the Lord of the whole earth!
