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.
But it shall come to pass in the last days That the mountain of the house of Jehovah shall be established at the head of the mountains, And exalted above the hills; And the nations shall flow 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, saying, “Come, let us go up to the mountain of Jehovah, To the house of the God of Jacob, That he may teach us his ways, And that we may walk in his paths!” For from Zion shall go forth a law, And the word of Jehovah 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.
He shall be a judge of many nations, And an umpire of many kingdoms afar off. They shall beat their swords into ploughshares, And their spears into pruning-hooks; Nation shall not lift up the sword against nation, Neither shall they learn 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.
But they shall sit every one under his vine, And under his fig-tree, And none shall make them afraid; The mouth of Jehovah of hosts hath spoken it.
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.
Though all the nations walk every one in the name of its God, Yet will we walk in the name of Jehovah 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, saith Jehovah, I will gather the halting, And the far scattered I will assemble, And those 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.
I will make the halting a remnant, And the far scattered a strong nation; And Jehovah shall reign over them in mount Zion, Henceforth, even forever.
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 thou, O tower of the flock, O hill of the daughter of Zion, to thee it shall come, To thee shall come the former dominion, Even the kingdom of 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 dost thou cry aloud? Is there no king within thee? Have thy counsellors perished, That pangs have taken hold of thee, as of a woman in travail?
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.
Yea, writhe, and be in anguish, O daughter of Zion, like a woman in travail! For now shalt thou go forth from the city, and dwell in the field; Thou shalt go even to Babylon; Yet there shalt thou be delivered. Jehovah will redeem thee from the hand of thine 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.
Now many nations gather themselves against thee, Who say, Let her be polluted, And let our eyes gaze upon Zion!
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 thoughts of Jehovah, And understand not his purposes; For he gathereth them as sheaves into the thrashing-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 thrash, O daughter of Zion! For I will make thy horns iron, And thy hoofs brass; Thou shalt beat in pieces many nations, And thou shalt devote their spoils to Jehovah, Their substance to the Lord of the whole earth.
