Micah 3
1 And I said: Listen, leaders of Jacob and chiefs of the house of Israel. Does it not belong to you to know judgment,
Kai ni hettelah ka dei, Jakop phun, Isarel miphun kacuenaw thai awh haw, nangmouh ni kalan lah lawkcengnae teh na panue hane kawi lah ao nahoehmaw.
2 you who hold hatred for good, and love evil, who violently steal their skins from over them and their flesh from over their bones?
Hnokahawi na maithoe awh teh, hno kahawihoehe na lungpataw awh teh, ayânaw e vuen hai thoseh, hru dawk kambawm e tak hai thoseh, na hlip awh.
3 They have devoured the flesh of my people, and have stripped their skin from over them, and they have shattered and chopped their bones, as if for the kettle, and like flesh in the middle of the pot.
Ka taminaw e a moi na ca awh teh, a vuen hah na ho awh. A hrunaw na khoe awh teh hlaam dawk thawng e moituen, ukkang dawk pahlouk e moi patetlah a moi hoi a hru na raban awh nahlangva,
4 Then they will cry out to the Lord, and he will not heed them. And he will hide his face from them in that time, just as they have acted wickedly with their inventions.
BAWIPA koe na hram na nakunghai, Kai ni ka thai mahoeh. Yonnae na sak awh e patetlah hatnae tueng dawk ka minhmai ka hro han.
5 Thus says the Lord about the prophets who seduce my people: They bite with their teeth and preach peace, and if anyone does not give something to their mouth, they sanctify a battle against him.
Ka taminaw na yon sak awh teh, kaboumcalah na ca awh navah, Roumnae ao telah na hram awh teh, na pacapanei e taminaw ni tuk hanelah na kâcai awh.
6 Because of this, night will be yours for vision, and darkness yours for divination, and the sun will meet with death over the prophets, and the day will be darkened over them.
Profet lawk ka dei e naw, nangmouh ni vision na hmu thai awh hoeh nahanlah, tangmin e tueng a pha han. Hma lae tue pâpho thai hoeh nahanlah kho kahmawt han. Profetnaw koe Kanî ka khum han. Khodai patenghai yah hmonae ni a ramuk han.
7 And those who see visions will be confounded, and the diviners will be confounded. And they will all cover their faces, because there is no response from God.
Hatnavah, profetnaw kaya sak awh han. Hma lae tue kapâphonaw ni a lungpout awh han. BAWIPA ni a pato hoeh dawk, ahnimouh pueng amamae pahni a tabuem awh han telah BAWIPA ni a ti.
8 Nevertheless, truly I have been filled with the strength of the Spirit of the Lord, with judgment and virtue, in order to announce to Jacob his wickedness and to Israel his sin.
Kai teh Jakop kâtapoenae hoi Isarelnaw a yonnae kamnue sak thai nahan BAWIPA e Muitha lahoi bahu panuenae, thoumthainae hoi ka kawi.
9 Hear this, leaders of the house of Jacob and judges of the house of Israel, you who abominate judgment and who pervert all that is right.
Kalan e lawkcengnae ka panuet teh, bangpueng dei e lawk ka raphoe teh,
10 You build up Zion with blood, and Jerusalem with iniquity.
Tami thei lahoi Zion khopui hai thoseh, hno kahawihoeh sak e lahoi Jerusalem khopui hai thoseh, ka sak e Jakop kho bawinaw, Isarel ukkungnaw thai awh haw.
11 Her leaders have judged for tributes, and her priests have taught for payment, and her prophets divined for money. And they leaned upon the Lord, saying: “Is not the Lord in our midst? No disaster will overcome us.”
Lawkcengkungnaw ni aphu a hmu hane dueng doeh a ngai awh. Vaihmanaw teh aphu hmu hane la doeh a cangkhai awh. Profetnaw ni tangka hmu hane lahoi hmalah e tue a pâpho awh. Hateiteh, BAWIPA teh maimouh koe ao nahoehmaw, runae koe phat thai mahoeh telah ouk na dei awh toe.
12 For this reason, because of you, Zion will be plowed under like a field, and Jerusalem will become like a pile of stones, and the mountain of the temple like the high places of the forests.
Hatdawkvah, Zion mon teh nangmouh han laikawk kanawk e patetlah ao han, Jerusalem khopui teh songnawng vaikong lah ao han, Bawknae im onae mon hai ratu patetlah ao han.
