< Michaeas 5 >

1 Now shall the daughter [of Sion] be completely hedged in: he has laid siege against us: they shall strike the tribes of Israel with a rod upon the cheek.
Aw misatuh kaminawk ih canu, misatuh kaminawk to nawnto pakhueng ah; anih mah aicae takui khoep boeh; nihcae mah Israel ukkung to cung hoi tangbaeng ah bop tih.
2 And you, Bethleem, house of Ephratha, are few in number to be [reckoned] amongst the thousands of Juda; [yet] out of you shall one come forth to me, to be a ruler of Israel; and his goings forth were from the beginning, [even] from eternity.
Toe nang, Bethlehem Ephrathah loe, Judah acaengnawk thungah vangpui tetta ah na oh, toe kai hanah Israel ukkung loe nang thung hoiah ni angzo tih, Anih loe boeng thai ai dungzan ah kaom, canghnii ih atue hoiah ni angzoh boeh.
3 Therefore shall he appoint them [to wait] till the time of her that travails: she shall bring forth, and [then] the remnant of their brethren shall return to the children of Israel.
To pongah caa tapenhaih kana pauep nongpata mah nawkta tapen karoek to Anih mah Israel to pahnawt sut tih, anghmat anih ih nawkamyanawk loe Israel caanawk khaeah amlaem o let tih.
4 And the Lord shall stand, and see, and feed his flock with power, and they shall dwell in the glory of the name of the Lord their God: for now shall they be magnified to the ends of the earth.
Anih loe Angraeng thacakhaih hoi angmah ih Angraeng Sithaw ih ahmin lensawkhaih hoiah angdoe ueloe, angmah ih tuunawk to pacah tih; nihcae loe monghaih hoiah khosah o tih: long boeng khoek to anih mah lensawkhaih hoiah uk tih.
5 And she shall have peace when Assur shall come into your land, and when he shall come up upon your country; and there shall be raised up against him seven shepherds, and eight attacks of men.
Assyria kaminawk aicae prae thungah angzoh o naah, Anih loe monghaih ah om tih boeh: aicae angraeng ohhaih ahmuen ah nihcae phak o naah loe, aicae tuu toepkung sarihto hoi kami zaehoikung tazettonawk mah aicae han misa tuh o tih.
6 And they shall tend the Assyrian with a sword, and the land of Nebrod with her trench: and he shall deliver [you] from the Assyrian, when he shall come upon your land, and when he shall invade your coasts.
Nihcae mah Assyria prae to sumsen hoiah paro o boih ueloe, Nimrod ih prae to khongkha karoek to pazawk o tih; Assyria loe aicae prae thungah angzoh moe, aicae prae angzithaih karoek to phak naah, anih mah aicae to pahlong tih.
7 And the remnant of Jacob shall be amongst the Gentiles in the midst of many peoples, as dew falling from the Lord, and as lambs on the grass; that none may assemble nor resist amongst the sons of men.
Kanghmat Jakob ih kaminawk loe Angraeng mah paek ih dantui baktih, kami kazing ai, kami capanawk doeh kazing ai, phroh nui ih khotui baktiah pop parai kaminawk salakah om o tih.
8 And the remnant of Jacob shall be amongst the Gentiles in the midst of many nations, as a lion in the forest amongst cattle, and as a [lion's] whelp amongst the flocks of sheep, even as when he goes through, and selects, and carries off [his prey], and there is none to deliver.
Kanghmat Jakob ih kaminawk loe pop parai Gentelnawk salakah om o ueloe, moinawk salak ih kaipui baktih, tuunawk salak ih kaipui kanawk baktiah om o tih, anih loe kaipui baktiah caeh ueloe, taprawt pet pet tih, to naah nihcae abomh kami mi doeh om mak ai.
9 Your hand shall be lifted up against them that afflict you, and all your enemies shall be utterly destroyed.
Na misanawk nuiah ban na payangh ueloe, misanawk to na paduek boih tih.
10 And it shall come to pass in that day, says the Lord, [that] I will utterly destroy the horses out of the midst of you, and destroy your chariots;
To na niah loe nangcae salak ih hrangnawk to ka dueksak moe, hrang lakoknawk to kam rosak han:
11 and I will utterly destroy the cities of your land, and demolish all your strongholds:
na prae thung ih vangpuinawk to kam rosak moe, nangcae misa abuephaih ahmuennawk doeh ka phraek han:
12 and I will utterly destroy your sorceries out of your hands; and there shall be no soothsayers in you.
na ban ih kami doihaihnawk to ka phraek moe, angzo han koi hmuen kawng thuihaih doeh na sah o mak ai boeh:
13 And I will utterly destroy your graven images, and your statues out of the midst of you; and you shall never any more worship the works of your hands.
na sak o cop ih krangnawk hoi nangmacae salakah angdoe krangnawk doeh ka phraek han; to naah loe na ban hoi sak ih hmuennawk to na bok mak ai boeh.
14 And I will cut off the groves out of the midst of you, and I will abolish your cities.
Nangcae salak ih krang sakhaih thingnawk to ka phongh moe, na vangpuinawk doeh kam rosak han.
15 and I will execute vengeance on the heathen in anger and wrath, because they listened not.
Ka lok tahngai ai kaminawk nuiah palungphuihaih hoi lu ka lak han, tiah Angraeng mah thuih.
