Mikah 5
1 Ransahu canunaw, kamkhueng awh haw. Maimanaw teh king na kalup awh toe. Isarel lawkkungnaw e a hmaibei dawk bongpai hoi a hem awh toe.
Now thou shall gather thyself in troops, O daughter of troops. He has laid siege against us. They shall smite the judge of Israel with a rod upon the cheek.
2 Oe, Bethlehem Epharath khopui, Judah uknae thung nang teh kathoengcae kho lah na o eiteh, Isarel miphunnaw ka uk e BAWIPA teh, Kai hanlah nang koehoi a kamnue han. Talai pekkamtawngnae koehoi kamnuek e BAWIPA doeh.
But thou, Bethlehem Ephrathah, which are little to be among the thousands of Judah, out of thee he shall come forth to me who is to be ruler in Israel, whose goings forth are from of old, from everlasting.
3 Hatdawkvah, camo ka khe hane ka khang e napui ni a khe hoehnahlan hai thoseh, Isarel miphun hoi kacawie hmaunawnghanaw teh a kâthung hoehroukrak thoseh, ahnimouh teh ka pahnawt han.
Therefore he will give them up until the time that she who travails has brought forth. Then the residue of his brothers shall return to the sons of Israel.
4 Ahni ni a kangdue vaiteh, BAWIPA tha o thasainae lahoi thoseh, BAWIPA Cathut e min taluenae lahoi thoseh, a tuhunaw hah a kawk han. Ahnimouh hai a cak awh han. Bangkongtetpawiteh, Ahni ni talai apout ditouh a uk vaiteh, roumnae ao han.
And he shall stand, and shall feed his flock in the strength of Jehovah, in the majesty of the name of Jehovah his God, and they shall abide. For now he shall be great to the ends of the earth.
5 Assiria tami ni kaimouh ram a tho teh, maimae imnaw a coungroe navah, tukhoum sari touh hoi bawi taroe touh a tâco vaiteh,
And this man shall be our peace. When the Assyrian shall come into our land, and when he shall tread in our palaces, then we shall raise against him seven shepherds, and eight principal men.
6 Tahloi hoi Assiria ram hai thoseh, khopui longkha koevah Nimrod ram hai thoseh, koung raphoenae lahoi, maimouh ram lah a tho awh vaiteh, maimae ram thung vah ka coungroe e Assiria e kut dawk hoi maimanaw hah na hlout sak awh han.
And they shall waste the land of Assyria with the sword, and the land of Nimrod in the entrances of it. And he shall deliver us from the Assyrian, when he comes into our land, and when he treads within our border.
7 Kacawie Jakop miphunnaw teh Jentel miphun moikapapnaw koe ao vaiteh, BAWIPA ni na poe e tadamtui patetlah thoseh, tami ring mahoeh. Taminaw e ngainae koe ka cet hoeh e kho ratui patetlah ao han.
And the remnant of Jacob shall be in the midst of many peoples as dew from Jehovah, as showers upon the grass, that tarry not for man, nor wait for the sons of men.
8 Kacawie Jakop miphunnaw ni Jentelnaw koe ao awh vaiteh, ratu e sarang sendek patetlah thoseh, tuhunaw koe sendektanca patetlah ao han. Sendek a kâen toteh apinihai ngang thai laipalah a coungroe vaiteh a ca han.
And the remnant of Jacob shall be among the nations, in the midst of many peoples, as a lion among the beasts of the forest, as a young lion among the flocks of sheep, who, if he goes through, treads down and tears in pieces, and there is none to deliver.
9 Nangmae taran koelah kambawng e naw hah na tuk awh vaiteh, na tarannaw pueng teh asung han.
Let thy hand be lifted up above thine adversaries, and let all thine enemies be cut off.
10 BAWIPA a dei e teh, hote atueng dawkvah, nangmae umsali hai marangnaw hoi ranglengnaw koung ka raphoe han.
And it shall come to pass in that day, says Jehovah, that I will cut off thy horses out of the midst of thee, and will destroy thy chariots,
11 Na ram dawk e rapanimnaw hoi khopuinaw hai ka raphoe han.
and I will cut off the cities of thy land, and will throw down all thy strongholds.
12 Na ram dawk e camkathoumnaw ka raphoe vaiteh, khueyue hai awm mahoeh.
And I will cut off witchcrafts out of thy hand, and thou shall have no more soothsayers.
13 Meikaphawknaw hah nangmae hmaitung koung ka raphoe han. Meikaphawknaw hah nangmouh ni bout na bawk awh mahoeh toe.
And I will cut off thy graven images and thy pillars out of the midst of thee, and thou shall no more worship the work of thy hands.
14 Asherahkungnaw na hmaitung vah ka phawk han. Na khopui haiyah be ka raphoe han.
And I will pluck up thine Asherim out of the midst of thee, and I will destroy thy cities.
15 Ka lawk ka ngai hoeh e Jentelnaw hah puenghoi lungkhueknae a yon phu ka pathung han.
And I will execute vengeance in anger and wrath upon the nations that did not hearken.
