Mikah 6
1 Cathut e lawk thai awh haw, thaw nateh monpuinaw hmalah toe awh haw, moncanaw ni na lawk thai a naseh.
Hear ye now what Jehovah says: Arise, contend thou before the mountains, and let the hills hear thy voice.
2 Oe monnaw, ka cak poung e talai dunaw, BAWIPA e lawk thai awh haw, BAWIPA ni a miphun hoi kâ toe hane ao. Isarel miphun hoi kâdei kâoun han.
Hear, O ye mountains, Jehovah's controversy, and ye enduring foundations of the earth, for Jehovah has a controversy with his people, and he will contend with Israel.
3 Oe ka miphun, nang hah Kai ni bangtelamaw ouk na ti boi, bangtelamaw ouk na rektap boi, Kai koe dei haw.
O my people, what have I done to thee? And in what have I wearied thee? Testify against me.
4 Nang teh Izip ram hoi na tâcokhai toe. San na toung koehoi na ratang toe. Na hmalah Mosi, Aron hoi Miriam tinaw hai ka patoun toe.
For I brought thee up out of the land of Egypt, and redeemed thee out of the house of bondage. And I sent before thee Moses, Aaron, and Miriam.
5 Oe ka miphun, Shittim khopui hoi Gilgal khopui rahak vah, Moab siangpahrang Balak pouknae hoi thoseh, Beor capa Balaam ni bout a dei e lawk hai thoseh, pouk awh haw, hottelah na pouk pawiteh, BAWIPA e a lannae na thai panuek awh han.
O my people, remember now what Balak king of Moab devised, and what Balaam the son of Beor answered him. Remember from Shittim to Gilgal, that ye may know the righteous acts of Jehovah.
6 Kai ni BAWIPA hmalah bangmaw ka sin vaiteh ka cei han, ka rasang poung e BAWIPA hmalah ka tabo han maw. Hmaisawi thueng nahanlah kum touh e maitoca ka sin vaiteh a hmalah ka cei han maw.
With what shall I come before Jehovah, and bow myself before the high God? Shall I come before him with burnt offerings, with calves a year old?
7 Cathut ni tutan 1000, satui moikapap hah a lungkuep han na ou, ka payonnae kecu dawk, ka camin hai thoseh, ka muitha yon kecu dawk ka tak hai thoseh, ka thueng han na ou.
Will Jehovah be pleased with thousands of rams, or with ten thousand rivers of oil? Shall I give my firstborn for my transgression, the fruit of my body for the sin of my soul?
8 Oe, ka tami, lamthung kahawi na patue toe. Kalane hno saknae, lungpataw pahrennae, na BAWIPA e hmalah lung kârahnoumnae lahoi, saknae hoeh laipalah, alouke thuengnae bangmaw Cathut ni a hei vai.
He has shown thee, O man, what is good. And what does Jehovah require of thee, but to do justly, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with thy God?
9 BAWIPA lawk ni khopui akaw, a lungkaang e tami ni A min a taki, yuenae hai thoseh, lawkcengkung teh apine tie hai thoseh, thai awh haw.
The voice of Jehovah cries to the city, and the man of wisdom will see thy name. Hear ye the rod, and who has appointed it.
10 Tami kahawihoeh im dawk, kamsoum hoeh lahoi tawn e hnopai hoi panuettho e tangthung ca ao rah ou.
Are there yet treasures of wickedness in the house of the wicked, and a scant measure that is abominable?
11 Kânging hoeh e yawcu hoi dumyennae yawngya ka tawn e khopui hah, kathounge khopui ka ti han na maw.
Shall I be pure with wicked balances, and with a bag of deceitful weights?
12 Bawi tangrengnaw ni thama lahoi a lawp awh teh Kamathoenaw ni hai laithoe a dei awh. Ahnimae pahni dawk kaawm e lai teh laithoe doeh.
For the rich men of it are full of violence, and the inhabitants of it have spoken lies, and their tongue is deceitful in their mouth.
13 Hatdawkvah, namamouh e yon kecu dawk nang na raphoe nahanelah, ka patawpoung lah ka rek han.
Therefore I also have smitten thee with a grievous wound, I have made thee desolate because of thy sins.
14 Nang ni na ca ei na boum mahoeh kahai lah na o han, na tawn ei na sin mahoeh, na sin e hno hai kâtheinae koe ka poe han.
Thou shall eat, but not be satisfied, and thy humiliation shall be in the midst of thee. And thou shall put away, but shall not save, and that which thou save I will give up to the sword.
15 Cati na kahei awh ei, cang na a awh hoeh, olive paw na katin awh ei, satui na kâhluk mahoeh. Misur paw na katin nakunghai misurtui na net awh mahoeh.
Thou shall sow, but shall not reap, thou shall tread the olives, but shall not anoint thee with oil, and the vintage, but shall not drink the wine.
16 Bangkongtetpawiteh, nang ni Omri siangpahrang ni a dei e naw hai thoseh, Ahab siangpahrang ni a sak e naw pueng hai thoseh na tarawi teh, ahnimae thapoenae koe lah na cei toe. Hatdawkvah, na thei vaiteh, khocanaw teh panuilai lah ka sak vaiteh, nang teh ka taminaw e dudam e lah na o han.
For the statutes of Omri are kept, and all the works of the house of Ahab, and ye walk in their counsels, that I may make thee a desolation, and the inhabitants thereof a hissing. And ye shall bear the reproach of my people.
