Micah 1
1 This is the word of the LORD that came to Micah the Moreshite in the days of Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah—what he saw regarding Samaria and Jerusalem:
BOEIPA ol he Judah manghai Jotham, Ahaz, Hezekiah tue vaengah Morasthite Maikah taengla cet. Te te Samaria neh Jerusalem ham ni a hmuh.
2 Hear, O peoples, all of you; listen, O earth, and everyone in it! May the Lord GOD bear witness against you, the Lord from His holy temple.
Pilnam loh a cungkuem te hnatun saeh. Diklai neh a cungkuem loh hnatung saeh. Ka Boeipa Yahovah tah nangmih taengah om saeh. Ka Boeipa tah a hmuencim bawkim lamloh laipai la om coeng.
3 For behold, the LORD comes forth from His dwelling place; He will come down and tread on the high places of the earth.
BOEIPA tah amah tolhmuen lamloh ha pai ngawn coeng ne. Te phoeiah suntla tih diklai hmuensang, hmuensang te a cawt.
4 The mountains will melt beneath Him, and the valleys will split apart, like wax before the fire, like water rushing down a slope.
Tlang rhoek he a yung duela yut uh coeng. Tuikol rhoek te hmai hmai kah khoirhat bangla phih uh tih tui bangla singling ah long.
5 All this is for the transgression of Jacob and the sins of the house of Israel. What is the transgression of Jacob? Is it not Samaria? And what is the high place of Judah? Is it not Jerusalem?
Te boeih te Jakob kah boekoeknah neh Israel imkhui kah tholhnah dongah ni. Jakob kah boekoeknah te Samaria moenih a? Judah kah hmuensang te Jerusalem moenih a?
6 Therefore I will make Samaria a heap of rubble in the open field, a planting area for a vineyard. I will pour her stones into the valley and expose her foundations.
Te dongah Samaria te khohmuen lairhok la, misurdum kah thingling la ka khueh ni. A lungto te kolrhawk la ka lun pah vetih a khoengim te ka yoe pah ni.
7 All her carved images will be smashed to pieces; all her wages will be burned in the fire, and I will destroy all her idols. Since she collected the wages of a prostitute, they will be used again on a prostitute.
A mueidaep boeih te a phop uh vetih a paang boeih te hmai ah a hoeh uh ni. A muei boeih te khopong la ka khueh ni. Pumyoih paang te coi sitoe cakhaw pumyoih paang la mael ni.
8 Because of this I will lament and wail; I will walk barefoot and naked. I will howl like a jackal and mourn like an ostrich.
He ham he ka rhaengsae vetih ka rhung ni. Khotling neh pumtling la ka van ni. Pongui bangla rhaengsaelung ka khueh vetih, tuirhuk vanu bangla nguekcoinah ka khueh ni.
9 For her wound is incurable; it has reached even Judah; it has approached the gate of my people, as far as Jerusalem itself.
A boengha te rhawp coeng tih Judah taengla a caeh dongah Jerusalem hil ka pilnam kah vongka te a pha.
10 Do not tell it in Gath; do not weep at all. Roll in the dust in Beth-leaphrah.
Gath ah khaw puen boeh, Bethophrah ah rhap rhoe rhap uh boeh. Laipi dongah bol la bol nawn.
11 Depart in shameful nakedness, O dwellers of Shaphir. The dwellers of Zaanan will not come out. Beth-ezel is in mourning; its support is taken from you.
Saphir khosa rhoek nang khaw yahpohnah neh yangyal la nong laeh. Zaanan khosa khaw cet mahpawh. Bethezel kah rhaengsaelung loh a tungduelnah te nang lamloh a loh coeng.
12 For the dwellers of Maroth pined for good, but calamity came down from the LORD, even to the gate of Jerusalem.
BOEIPA taeng lamkah yoethaenah loh Jerusalem vongka duela a suntlak dongah Maroth khosa rhoek tah hnothen ham te kilkul coeng.
13 Harness your chariot horses, O dweller of Lachish. You were the beginning of sin to the Daughter of Zion, for the transgressions of Israel were found in you.
Lakhish khosa rhoek loh marhang te leng dongah buen laeh. Te tah Zion nu kah tholhnah a moenah ni. Na khuiah Israel kah boekoeknah ni a tueng rhoe.
14 Therefore, send farewell gifts to Moresheth-gath; the houses of Achzib will prove deceptive to the kings of Israel.
Te dongah Israel manghai rhoek taengah phokhapnah la Akhzib imkhui kah Moreshethkath te maan na paek ni.
15 I will again bring a conqueror against you, O dweller of Mareshah. The glory of Israel will come to Adullam.
Mareshah khosa nang aka haek te koep kang khuen vetih Israel kah thangpomnah loh Adullam duela a pha ni.
16 Shave yourselves bald and cut off your hair in mourning for your precious children; make yourselves as bald as an eagle, for they will go from you into exile.
Na omthenbawnnah camoe rhoek te kuet lamtah vok pah laeh. Na lungawng khaw atha bangla ka sak. Nang taeng lamloh a poelyoe uh hae ni.
