< Micah 1 >
1 The word of the Lord that came to Micheas the Morasthite, in the days of Joathan, Achaz, and Ezechias, kings of Juda: which he saw concerning Samaria and Jerusalem.
Judah siangpahrang, Jotham, Ahaz hoi Hezekiah dung ah Moresheth ih Mikah khaeah Angraeng ih lok to angzoh, Samaria hoi Jerusalem kawng pongah anih khaeah hnuksakhaih amtueng.
2 Hear, all ye people: and let the earth give ear, and all that is therein: and let the Lord God be a witness to you, the Lord from his holy temple.
Angraeng mah angmah ih kaciim tempul thung hoiah nangcae to misa ah ang suek, tiah Angraeng Sithaw mah hnukung ah oh hanah, aw nangcae kaminawk boih, thaih oh, aw long hoi a thungah kaom kaminawk boih, tahngai oh.
3 For behold the Lord will come forth out of his place: and he will come down, and will tread upon the high places of the earth.
Khenah, Angraeng loe a ohhaih ahmuen hoiah angzoh; anih loe angzo tathuk ueloe, long nui ih kasang ahmuennawk to atii tih.
4 And the mountains shall be melted under him: and the valleys shall be cleft, as wax before the fire, and as waters that run down a steep place.
Hmaai ah kamkaw samdai baktih, cathaeng ah kalong tathuk tui baktih toengah, maenawk loe anih hmaa ah amzawt o ueloe, tahawtnawk doeh tanim o tih.
5 For the wickedness of Jacob is all this, and for the sins of the house of Israel. What is the wickedness of Jacob? is it not Samaria? and what are the high places of Juda? are they not Jerusalem?
Hae hmuennawk boih loe Jakob sakpazaehaih hoi Israel imthung takoh zaehaihnawk pongah ni oh. Jakob sakpazaehaih loe tih aa? Samaria na ai maw? Judah ih kasang ahmuennawk loe tih aa? Jerusalem na ai maw?
6 And I will make Samaria as a heap of stones in the field when a vineyard is planted: and I will bring down the stones thereof into the valley, and will lay her foundations bare.
To pongah Samaria to thlung baktiah ka tapop sut moe, misurkung thlinghaih ahmuen ah ka sak han; vangpui sakhaih thlungnawk to azawn ah ka kraih pae moe, im sak amtonghaih ahmuen to azom ah ka ohsak han.
7 And all her graven things shall be cut in pieces, and all her wages shall be burnt with fire, and I will bring to destruction all her idols: for they were gathered together of the hire of a harlot, and unto the hire of a harlot they shall return.
To ah kaom sakcop ih krangnawk to pakhoih pae boih tih, a thlai ih hmuennawk doeh hmai hoi thlaek boih tih; krangnawk to ka phraek pae boih han: anih mah tangzat zaw kami khae hoiah to hmuennawk to hak baktih toengah, tangzat zaw kami khaeah paek let tih.
8 Therefore will I lament and howl: I will go stripped and naked: I will make a wailing like the dragons, and a mourning like the ostriches.
To tiah oh pongah ka qah moe, palungna ka panoek han, khokpanai ai ah bangkrai ah ka caeh han; tasui baktiah ka uk moe, bukbuh baktiah ka oi han.
9 Because her wound is desperate, because it is come even to Juda, it hath touched the gate of my people even to Jerusalem.
Anih ih ahma loe hoih thai mak ai; Judah khaeah phak boeh; kai kaminawk ih khongkha taengah phak boeh moe, Jerusalem ah mataeng doeh a phak boeh.
10 Declare ye it not in Geth, weep ye not with tears: in the house of Dust sprinkle yourselves with dust.
Nangcae mah to kawng to Gath ah thui o hmah loe, qah o hmah roe ah; Oprah ih im ah nangmah koeh ah long ah amlet ah.
11 And pass away, O thou that dwellest in the Beautiful place, covered with thy shame: she went not forth that dwelleth in the confines: the House adjoining shall receive mourning from you, which stood by herself.
Nangcae Saphir ah kaom kaminawk, bangkrai ah om oh loe, azathaih hoiah om oh; Beth Ezel palung sethaih abomh hanah Zaanan ah kaom kaminawk loe tacawt o ai: Anih mah nangcae han angdoethaih ahmuen paek mak ai.
12 For she is become weak unto good that dwelleth in bitterness: for evil is come down from the Lord into the gate of Jerusalem.
Maroth ah kaom kami loe hoihhaih atue to a zing; toe Angraeng khae ih sethaih loe Jerusalem khongkha khoek to phak boeh.
13 A tumult of chariots hath astonished the inhabitants of Lachis: it is the beginning of sin to the daughter of Sion, for in thee were found the crimes of Israel.
Aw nangcae Lakhish ah kaom kaminawk, hrang lakok qui to zaeng o coek lai ah: Israel zaehaih saksak baktiah, anih mah Zion canu zaehaih saksak hanah loklam to patuek.
14 Therefore shall she send messengers to the inheritance of Geth: the houses of lying to deceive the kings of Israel.
To pongah nangcae mah Moreshth Gath khaeah tangqum na paek o tih, Akzip ih imnawk loe Israel siangpahrangnawk alinghaih ah om tih.
15 Yet will I bring an heir to thee that dwellest in Maresa: even to Odollam shall the glory of Israel come.
Nangcae Moreshah ah kaom kaminawk, nangcae ih qawktoep han koi kami to kang hoih han; lensawk Israel siangpahrang loe Adullam ah pha tih.
16 Make thee bald, and be polled for thy delicate children: enlarge thy baldness as the eagle: for they are carried into captivity from thee.
Na palung o ih na caanawk to naeh o ving pongah, lu angmuilum ah sam to aat oh; nihcae loe misong ah laemh o boeh pongah, tahmu baktiah lu angmuilum ah suem oh.
