Mikah 6
1 Cathut e lawk thai awh haw, thaw nateh monpuinaw hmalah toe awh haw, moncanaw ni na lawk thai a naseh.
Listen now to what YHWH says: "Arise, plead your case before the mountains, and let the hills hear what you have to say.
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, you mountains, YHWH's controversy, and you enduring foundations of the earth; for YHWH 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.
My people, what have I done to you? How have I burdened you? Answer 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 you up out of the land of Egypt, and redeemed you out of the house of bondage. I sent before you 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.
My people, remember now what Balak king of Moab devised, and what Balaam the son of Beor answered him from Shittim to Gilgal, that you may know the righteous acts of YHWH."
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.
How shall I come before YHWH, and bow myself before the exalted 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 YHWH be pleased with thousands of rams? With tens of thousands of rivers of oil? Shall I give my firstborn for my disobedience? 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 you, O man, what is good. What does YHWH require of you, but to act justly, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your 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.
YHWH's voice calls to the city, and wisdom sees your name: "Listen to the rod, and he who 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 short ephah that is accursed?
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 dishonest scales, 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.
Her rich men are full of violence, her inhabitants speak lies, and their tongue is deceitful in their speech.
13 Hatdawkvah, namamouh e yon kecu dawk nang na raphoe nahanelah, ka patawpoung lah ka rek han.
Therefore I also have struck you with a grievous wound. I have made you desolate because of your 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.
You shall eat, but not be satisfied. Your humiliation will be in your midst. You will store up, but not save; and that which you 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.
You will sow, but won't reap. You will tread the olives, but won't anoint yourself with oil; and crush grapes, but won't 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 you walk in their counsels. Therefore I will make you a desolation, and her inhabitants an object of contempt; and you will bear the scorn of the nations."
