< Micah 2 >
1 Woe to you that devise that which is unprofitable, and work evil in your beds: in the morning light they execute it, because their hand is against God.
Yonnae sak hanlah ikhun dawk hoi kahawihoehe kho pouk e patetlah khodai torei, ka sak e tami teh a yawthoe awh.
2 And they have coveted fields, and taken them by violence, and houses they have forcibly taken away: and oppressed a man and his house, a man and his inheritance.
Ayânaw e imlaw lungraduek awh teh, tahma lah ka lawm e tami hoi a im hai thoseh, tongpa hoi a hnopai hai thoseh, a lawp awh teh a pacekpahlek awh.
3 Therefore thus saith the Lord: Behold, I devise an evil against this family: from which you shall not withdraw your necks, and you shall not walk haughtily, for this is a very evil time.
Hatdawkvah, BAWIPA ni a dei eiteh, na lahuen hlouthoehnae, lû na loungoukhoehnae rucatnae imthungkhu dawk ka pha sak han. Runae teh hot patet e tueng lah ao han.
4 In that day a parable shall be taken up upon you, and a song shall be sung with melody by them that say: We are laid waste and spoiled: the portion of my people is changed: how shall he depart from me, whereas he is returning that will divide our land?
Hatnae tueng nah, bangnuenae lawk lah hno awh vaiteh, lungmathoenae lah a sak awh hane teh, maimouh teh rawk katang awh toe. Ka miphun ni a coe hane kawi ka kut dawk hoi bout a la toe. Maimae laikawknaw na lawp awh teh ayânaw hah a rei toe.
5 Therefore thou shalt have none that shall cast the cord of a lot in the assembly of the Lord.
Hatdawkvah, kamkhueng e Cathut e taminaw koe na coe awh hanelah ka bangnue hane tami awm mahoeh.
6 Speak ye not, saying: It shall not drop upon these, confusion shall not take them.
Profetnaw, profet lawk dei hanh awh. Ahnimanaw kayasak nahanlah profet lawk pâpho awh mahoeh.
7 The house of Jacob saith: Is the spirit of the Lord straitened, or are these his thoughts? Are not my words good to him that walketh uprightly?
BAWIPA e Muitha teh ngang lah ao maw. Hote hnonaw na sak a na maw, telah Isarelnaw a pacei navah kalan e hno ka sak e tami teh ka lawk lahoi aphu a hmu nahoehmaw.
8 But my people, on the contrary, are risen up as an enemy: you have taken away the cloak off from the coat: and them that passed harmless you have turned to war.
Ayan hoi doeh Ka taminaw ni na taran awh toe. Taran tuknae koehoi a ban awh teh runae taket awh laipalah, kacetnaw e avan angki hoi athung angki hah a lawp awh.
9 You have cast out the women of my people from their houses, in which they took delight: you have taken my praise for ever from their children.
Ka taminaw e a yunaw hah a phunepnae hmuen koehoi a hrek awh teh, ahnimouh koehoi Kaie bawilennae hah meng na lawp awh toe.
10 Arise ye, and depart, for there is no rest here for you. For that uncleanness of the land, it shall be corrupted with a grievous corruption.
Thaw nateh cet awh haw, hete ram heh nangmouh hanlah hnâroumnae hmuen nahoeh. Hete hmuen teh a khin dawkvah rawknae kalenpoung hoi a rawk han.
11 Would God I were not a man that hath the spirit, and that I rather spoke a lie: I will let drop to thee of wine, and of drunkenness: and it shall be this people upon whom it shall drop.
Ma ngai patetlah laithoe ka dei e tami ni, Misur tui hoi yamu kong ka dei han tetpawiteh, ahni teh hote lawk kadeikung la doeh ao han.
12 I will assemble and gather together all of thee, O Jacob: I will bring together the remnant of Israel, I will put them together as a flock in the fold, as the sheep in the midst of the sheepcotes, they shall make a tumult by reason of the multitude of men.
Oe, Jakop Kai ni na miphun pueng thoseh, bout kamkhueng sak han. Takha dawk e tu patetlah thoseh, hram kanaw koe e tuhu patetlah ka pâkhueng han. Tami apap poung dawk a pawlawk a cai poung han.
13 For he shall go up that shall open the way before them: they shall divide, and pass through the gate, and shall come in by it: and their king shall pass before them, and the Lord at the head of them.
Karaphoekungnaw ni ahnimae hmalah a cei awh. Ahnimouh ni hai a raphoe awh teh longkha dawk hoi a cei awh. Ahnimae siangpahrang ni ahnimae hmalah a cei teh BAWIPA ni lam a pâtue.
