< Micah 5 >

1 Now you shall gather yourself in troops, daughter of troops. He has laid siege against us. They will strike the judge of Israel with a rod on the cheek.
Tanu te hlap laeh. Caem loh mamih taengah vongup a khueh coeng. Israel laitloek kah a kam te caitueng neh a vuek uh pawn ni.
2 But you, Bethlehem Ephrathah, being small among the clans of Judah, out of you one will come out to me who is to be ruler in Israel; whose goings out are from of old, from ancient times.
Bethlehem Epharath nang tah Judah a thawng a sang lakli ah a noe la na om. Nang lamkah te kai yueng la thoeng vetih Israel aka taem la om ni. Te dongah hlamat lamkah khosuen tue lamloh a naat nah coeng.
3 Therefore he will abandon them until the time that she who is in labor gives birth. Then the rest of his brothers will return to the children of Israel.
Te dongah amih te ca-om cacun tue hil a tloeng ni. Te vaengah a manuca hlangrhuel tah Israel ca taengla mael uh ni.
4 He shall stand, and shall shepherd in the strength of the LORD, in the majesty of the name of the LORD his God. They will live, for then he will be great to the ends of the earth.
Anih te BOEIPA kah sarhi dongah, a Pathen BOEIPA ming kah mingthennah dongah pai vetih a luem puei ni. Anih te diklai bawt duela rhoeng sak hamla kho a sak ni.
5 He will be our peace when Assyria invades our land and when he marches through our fortresses, then we will raise against him seven shepherds, and eight leaders of men.
Mamih khohmuen la ha kun vaengah Assyria neh rhoepnah om ni. Mamih kah impuei long a cawt vaengah anih taengah hlang aka dawn parhih neh boeimang hlang parhet neh n'thoo ni.
6 They will rule the land of Assyria with the sword, and the land of Nimrod in its gates. He will deliver us from the Assyrian, when he invades our land, and when he marches within our border.
Assyria khohmuen khaw, Nimrod khohmuen neh a thohka khaw cunghang neh luem uh ni. Tedae mamih khohmuen la ha kun tih mah khorhi te a cawt vaengah Assyria lamloh n'huul ni.
7 The remnant of Jacob will be among many peoples like dew from the LORD, like showers on the grass, that do not wait for man nor wait for the sons of men.
Jakob kah a meet tah pilnam lakli ah BOEIPA taeng lamkah buemtui bangla, baelhing dongkah mueitui bangla muep om ni. Te te hlang ham lamtawn pawt tih hlang ca ham khaw a ngaiuep dae moenih.
8 The remnant of Jacob will be among the nations, among many peoples, like a lion among the animals of the forest, like a young lion among the flocks of sheep; who, if he goes through, treads down and tears in pieces, and there is no one to deliver.
Jakob rhaengnaeng te pilnam miping khui kah namtom taengah om ni. Duup rhamsa lakli kah sathueng bangla, tuping boiva lakli kah sathuengca bangla te te a pah tih, a taelh tih a baeh phoeiah tah aka huul a om moenih.
9 Let your hand be lifted up above your adversaries, and let all of your enemies be cut off.
Na kut te na rhal soah phuel uh vetih na thunkha rhoek te boeih a saii uh ni.
10 “It will happen in that day”, says the LORD, “that I will cut off your horses from among you and will destroy your chariots.
BOEIPA kah olphong khohnin te a pai vaengah tah na khui lamkah na marhang te ka hnawt vetih na leng te ka poo sak ni.
11 I will cut off the cities of your land and will tear down all your strongholds.
Na khohmuen kah khopuei rhoek ka hnawt vetih na hmuencak boeih te ka koengloeng ni.
12 I will destroy witchcraft from your hand. You shall have no soothsayers.
Sungrhai te na kut lamloh ka hnawt vetih kutyaek aka so khaw na taengah om mahpawh.
13 I will cut off your engraved images and your pillars from among you; and you shall no more worship the work of your hands.
Na mueidaep neh na kaam te na khui lamloh ka hnawt vetih na kut saii taengah na bakop voel mahpawh.
14 I will uproot your Asherah poles from among you; and I will destroy your cities.
Na khui lamloh nang kah Asherah te ka phong vetih na khopuei khaw ka milh sak ni.
15 I will execute vengeance in anger and wrath on the nations that did not listen.”
A yaak uh pawt bangla namtom taengah phulohnah te thintoek neh kosi neh ka saii ni.
