< Micah 3 >

1 And I said, Hear, I pray you, ye heads of Jacob, and rulers of the house of Israel. Is it not for you to know justice?
Ngaijuvin, nangho Israel lamkaihon, nangho adihlouva kona adih hekhen ho.
2 Ye who hate the good, and love the evil, who pluck off their skin from off them, and their flesh from off their bones,
Ahinlah nanghon thilpha nahouvin, thilphalou nangailuve, nanghon kamite ahing changin avun nalip doh pehun, aphe jouse jong agua konin naleodohpehun ahi.
3 who also eat the flesh of my people, and flay their skin from off them, and break their bones, and chop them in pieces, as for the pot, and as flesh within the caldron.
Kamite aphe naneovin, avun jouse nalip dohuvin, agu nahebohpehuvin asa’u, sa kihonna belsunga sa hon bangin na kihonuvin ahi.
4 Then they shall cry to Jehovah, but he will not answer them. Yea, he will hide his face from them at that time, according as they have wrought evil in their doings.
Chutengleh nahahsat genthei niuleh Pakai hengah panpina ngaichan nathum kitun, na taonao na sanpeh diuva naginchat mongu hinam? Thilse tampi nabol jou keijuva, Pakai angsunga thil na thumuleh, amit kale changa jong navet louhel diu ahi.
5 Thus says Jehovah concerning the prophets who make my people to err, who bite with their teeth, and cry, Peace. And he who does not put into their mouths, they even prepare war against him.
Hiche hi Pakaiyin asei ahi. “Nang ho, themgao lhem hon kamite napui mong tauve! Anneh ding napeteu henga kichamna thun na kiteppiuvin, ahinlah nehding napenomloute hengah gal nabol khumun ahi.
6 Therefore it shall be night to you, that ye shall have no vision. And it shall be dark to you, that ye shall not divine. And the sun shall go down upon the prophets, and the day shall be black over them.
Tua hi nangho jan muthim tobanga naum diu, themgao thilmu banga namu lou diu, ahitai. Muthimin na umkimvellu ahitai, chuleh nahin nikhou achaina lam hiding ahitai.
7 And the seers shall be put to shame, and the diviners confounded. Yea, they shall all cover their lips, for there is no answer from God.
Chuteng gao thilmu neipa jong kijumso ding, chuleh mitva neipa jong kisih ding chuleh pon a na mai nakitom ding, ajeh chu Pathen’a kona donbutna namu tahlou jeh ahi.
8 But as for me, I am full of power by the Spirit of Jehovah, and of judgment, and of might, to declare to Jacob his transgression, and to Israel his sin.
Ahivangin kei dingin vang katha ahat in, lhasam louvin Pakai Lhagao thahat nan kadim jing nai. Keima Pakai thutah leh ahatnan kadim jingnai Israel chonsetna hangsan tahin ka doudal jing’e.
9 Hear this, I pray you, ye heads of the house of Jacob, and rulers of the house of Israel, who abhor justice, and pervert all equity.
Kasei ngaijuvin, Israel lamkaiho! nang hon thu adiha kitan natheuvin, akitoha thilbol nahei monguvin ahi.
10 They build up Zion with blood, and Jerusalem with iniquity.
Nanghon Jerusalem jou leh nal chuleh thisan so pumin na sauvin ahi.
11 The heads of it judge for a bribe, and the priests of it teach for a wage, and the prophets of it divine for money. Yet they lean upon Jehovah, and say, Is not Jehovah in the midst of us? No evil shall come upon us.
Lamkaija panghon nehguh muna dingin thu natanuvin! Thempua panghon jong Pathen danbu sum lonan thu nahillun, Themgaova pang hon jong sum munana dingin gaothu aseijun, ahijeng vang'in Pakai jenga bou kingai in bou, naki seijuve. “Ema akhohpoi keiho heng lam ah hung un.” ajeh chu Pakai eiho laha aume natiuve.
12 Therefore for your sake Zion shall be plowed as a field, and Jerusalem shall become heaps, and the mountain of the house as the high places of a forest.
Nangho jeh'a Zion lhang jong loulai kikai banga kikai ding, Jerusalem jong mangthah dinga kemsuh ding! Gammang soh tading, tule tua houin kisah namun khu.
