< Micah 5 >

1 Now gather thyself in troops, O daughter of troops; he hath laid siege against us: they shall smite the judge of Israel with a rod upon the cheek.
Ransahu canunaw, kamkhueng awh haw. Maimanaw teh king na kalup awh toe. Isarel lawkkungnaw e a hmaibei dawk bongpai hoi a hem awh toe.
2 (And thou, Bethlehem Ephratah, little to be among the thousands of Judah, out of thee shall he come forth unto me [who is] to be Ruler in Israel: whose goings forth are from of old, from the days of eternity.)
Oe, Bethlehem Epharath khopui, Judah uknae thung nang teh kathoengcae kho lah na o eiteh, Isarel miphunnaw ka uk e BAWIPA teh, Kai hanlah nang koehoi a kamnue han. Talai pekkamtawngnae koehoi kamnuek e BAWIPA doeh.
3 Therefore will he give them up, until the time when she which travaileth shall have brought forth: and the residue of his brethren shall return unto the children of Israel.
Hatdawkvah, camo ka khe hane ka khang e napui ni a khe hoehnahlan hai thoseh, Isarel miphun hoi kacawie hmaunawnghanaw teh a kâthung hoehroukrak thoseh, ahnimouh teh ka pahnawt han.
4 And he shall stand and feed [his flock] in the strength of Jehovah, in the majesty of the name of Jehovah his God. And they shall abide; for now shall he be great even unto the ends of the earth.
Ahni ni a kangdue vaiteh, BAWIPA tha o thasainae lahoi thoseh, BAWIPA Cathut e min taluenae lahoi thoseh, a tuhunaw hah a kawk han. Ahnimouh hai a cak awh han. Bangkongtetpawiteh, Ahni ni talai apout ditouh a uk vaiteh, roumnae ao han.
5 And this [man] shall be Peace. When the Assyrian shall come into our land, and when he shall tread in our palaces, then shall we raise against him seven shepherds, and eight princes of men.
Assiria tami ni kaimouh ram a tho teh, maimae imnaw a coungroe navah, tukhoum sari touh hoi bawi taroe touh a tâco vaiteh,
6 And they shall waste the land of Asshur with the sword, and the land of Nimrod in the entrances thereof; and he shall deliver [us] from the Assyrian, when he cometh into our land, and when he treadeth within our borders.
Tahloi hoi Assiria ram hai thoseh, khopui longkha koevah Nimrod ram hai thoseh, koung raphoenae lahoi, maimouh ram lah a tho awh vaiteh, maimae ram thung vah ka coungroe e Assiria e kut dawk hoi maimanaw hah na hlout sak awh han.
7 And the remnant of Jacob shall be in the midst of many peoples as dew from Jehovah, as showers upon the grass, that tarrieth not for man, neither waiteth for the sons of men.
Kacawie Jakop miphunnaw teh Jentel miphun moikapapnaw koe ao vaiteh, BAWIPA ni na poe e tadamtui patetlah thoseh, tami ring mahoeh. Taminaw e ngainae koe ka cet hoeh e kho ratui patetlah ao han.
8 And the remnant of Jacob shall be among the nations, in the midst of many peoples, as a lion among the beasts of the forest, as a young lion among the flocks of sheep: who, if he go through, treadeth down, and teareth in pieces, and there is none to deliver.
Kacawie Jakop miphunnaw ni Jentelnaw koe ao awh vaiteh, ratu e sarang sendek patetlah thoseh, tuhunaw koe sendektanca patetlah ao han. Sendek a kâen toteh apinihai ngang thai laipalah a coungroe vaiteh a ca han.
9 Thy hand shall be lifted up upon thine adversaries, and all thine enemies shall be cut off.
Nangmae taran koelah kambawng e naw hah na tuk awh vaiteh, na tarannaw pueng teh asung han.
10 And it shall come to pass in that day, saith Jehovah, that I will cut off thy horses out of the midst of thee, and I will destroy thy chariots.
BAWIPA a dei e teh, hote atueng dawkvah, nangmae umsali hai marangnaw hoi ranglengnaw koung ka raphoe han.
11 And I will cut off the cities of thy land, and overthrow all thy strongholds.
Na ram dawk e rapanimnaw hoi khopuinaw hai ka raphoe han.
12 And I will cut off sorceries out of thy hand; and thou shalt have no soothsayers.
Na ram dawk e camkathoumnaw ka raphoe vaiteh, khueyue hai awm mahoeh.
13 Thy graven images also will I cut off, and thy statues out of the midst of thee; and thou shalt no more bow down to the work of thy hands.
Meikaphawknaw hah nangmae hmaitung koung ka raphoe han. Meikaphawknaw hah nangmouh ni bout na bawk awh mahoeh toe.
14 And I will pluck up thine Asherahs out of the midst of thee, and I will destroy thy cities.
Asherahkungnaw na hmaitung vah ka phawk han. Na khopui haiyah be ka raphoe han.
15 And I will execute vengeance in anger and in fury upon the nations, such as they have not heard of.
Ka lawk ka ngai hoeh e Jentelnaw hah puenghoi lungkhueknae a yon phu ka pathung han.
