Mikah 1
1 Judah siangpahrang Jotham, Ahaz hoi Hezekiah, a bawinae kum dawk Morashtite tami Mikah koe ka tho e Cathut e Lawk Samaria hoi Jerusalem kong hoi kâkuen e teh,
The word of the LORD that came to Micah the Morasthite in the days of Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah, which he saw concerning Samaria and Jerusalem.
2 Taminaw pueng thai awh haw, khocaramcanaw thai awh haw, Bawipa Jehovah kathounge bawkim hoi BAWIPA teh nangmouh na kapanuekkhaikung lah ao han.
Hear, all you people; listen, O earth, and all that therein is: and let the Lord GOD be witness against you, the LORD from his holy temple.
3 BAWIPA teh a onae hmuen koehoi a tâco a kum vaiteh, karasangnaw hah a coungroe han.
For, behold, the LORD comes forth out of his place, and will come down, and tread on the high places of the earth.
4 Hmai ni khoilai a daw teh atui lah a lawng e patetlah ravopui dawk hoi kalawng e tui patetlah ka hmalah monnaw ni a kamyawt awh han, ayawnnaw hai a kâraue han.
And the mountains shall be molten under him, and the valleys shall be cleft, as wax before the fire, and as the waters that are poured down a steep place.
5 Hete hnonaw pueng heh Jakop lawk eknae kecu dawk hoi Isarel imthungnaw a yon awh dawk doeh. Jakop lawk eknae bangne, Samaria nahoehmaw. Judah hmuen karasangpoung e nâne ao. Jerusalem nahoehmaw.
For the transgression of Jacob is all this, and for the sins of the house of Israel. What is the transgression of Jacob? is it not Samaria? and what are the high places of Judah? are they not Jerusalem?
6 Hatdawkvah, Samaria khopui teh laikawk dawk e talai pâpawp e patetlah ka o sak han, Misur takha patetlah ka o sak han. Rapan talungnaw ayawn dawk ka rabawk han. Rapan adu hah kamnue sak han.
Therefore I will make Samaria as an heap of the field, and as plantings of a vineyard: and I will pour down the stones thereof into the valley, and I will discover the foundations thereof.
7 Meikaphawk bawknae pueng reppasei lah ka hruek pouh han. A tawksaknae aphu pueng hmai ka sawi pouh han. Cathutkaphawk pueng be ka raphoe pouh han. Takkâyonae lahoi hnopai a tawn dawkvah, hote hnopainaw teh kâyawt e kut dawk bout a pha han.
And all the graven images thereof shall be beaten to pieces, and all the hires thereof shall be burned with the fire, and all the idols thereof will I lay desolate: for she gathered it of the hire of an harlot, and they shall return to the hire of an harlot.
8 Hote kong dawk kai teh ka khui ka ka han. Caici lahoi ka cei ka o han. Kahrawnguinaw patetlah ka hram teh, Kalauk tava patetlah ka cai han.
Therefore I will wail and howl, I will go stripped and naked: I will make a wailing like the dragons, and mourning as the owls.
9 A hmâ teh dam thai hoeh, Judah ram totouh a kâkai awh vaiteh, ka miphun a onae hmuen Jerusalem khopui longkha totouh a pha toe.
For her wound is incurable; for it is come to Judah; he is come to the gate of my people, even to Jerusalem.
10 Gath khopui dawk thaisak awh hanh, khoeroe kap awh hanh. Bet Aphrah vah vaiphu dawk kamlet awh.
Declare you it not at Gath, weep you not at all: in the house of Aphrah roll yourself in the dust.
11 Oe Saphir taminaw caici lah cet awh, Zaanan taminaw khuika laihoi tâcawt awh hanh. Bethezel khopui dawk na roe awh nahane kâ na poe awh mahoeh.
Pass you away, you inhabitant of Saphir, having your shame naked: the inhabitant of Zaanan came not forth in the mourning of Bethezel; he shall receive of you his standing.
12 Maroth tami ni hai hnokahawi a doun teh a ring eiteh Cathut koehoi e rucatnae lah Jerusalem longkha totouh a pha toe.
For the inhabitant of Maroth waited carefully for good: but evil came down from the LORD to the gate of Jerusalem.
13 Oe, Lakhish canu karang poung e marang dawk rangleng hah thueng haw, nang ni Isarelnaw e yonnae hah na kamtu awh teh Zion canunaw hah na yon sak awh.
O you inhabitant of Lachish, bind the chariot to the swift beast: she is the beginning of the sin to the daughter of Zion: for the transgressions of Israel were found in you.
14 Hatdawkvah, Gath ram Moreseth koe poehno na poe han. Akhazib khocanaw ni Isarel siangpahrangnaw hah a dumyen awh han.
Therefore shall you give presents to Moreshethgath: the houses of Achzib shall be a lie to the kings of Israel.
15 Oe, Mareshah kho kaawm e taminaw râw ka coe hane tami kai ni kakaw vaiteh, Isarel bawilennae Adullam kho dawk a pha han.
Yet will I bring an heir to you, O inhabitant of Mareshah: he shall come to Adullam the glory of Israel.
16 Ngai kaawm e canu capanaw teh san lah na man awh toung dawk, lû luengpalueng lah ngaw awh. Langta patetlah luengpalueng lah awm awh.
Make you bald, and poll you for your delicate children; enlarge your baldness as the eagle; for they are gone into captivity from you.
