Micah 7
1 I'm totally miserable! I've become like someone trying to glean summer fruit after the grape harvest is over. I can't find any grapes to eat, and there are no early figs that I love.
Ya-oe kai aih he, khohal cangah bang maila, misurbit loh a yoep hnukah, a su aka om pawt bangla ka om. Thaihloe caak hamla ka hinglu loh a ngaidam.
2 All the good people in the country are gone, there's no one who does right left anywhere. Everyone is looking to murder others; they try to trap even their own brothers.
Khohmuen lamkah hlangcim he milh coeng tih hlang lakli ah aka thuem khaw tal coeng. A pum la thii te a rhongngol thil uh tih hlang loh a manuca te yaehtaboeih la a mae uh.
3 They are experts at evil; both officials and judges ask for bribes; the powerful demand their evil desires; and they scheme together to get what they want.
A kut rhoi tah boethae dongah lohna coeng. Mangpa loh lai sahnah ham a bih tih lai a tloek. A hinglu loh talnah thui hamla haam tih amah neh tingtong uh.
4 Even the best of them is like a thorny bush, the most honest like a thorn hedge. Your day of judgment that was announced by the prophets, your time of punishment, has arrived. You'rethrown into complete confusion.
Amih kah a then te hling banghui ni. Aka thuem khaw vonghling lakah nah. Khohnin he nang aka tawt tih nang aka ngoldoelh hamla pai coeng. Amih kah tingtongnah khaw om coeng.
5 Don't trust a neighbor, don't rely on a friend. Watch what you say even to the one who lies in your arms.
Na hui te tangnah uh boel lamtah khoboei dongah khaw pangtung uh boeh. Na rhang dongkah aka yalh taengah khaw na ka thohka te tuem.
6 For a son treats his father with contempt; a daughter opposes her mother, and a daughter-in-law her mother-in-law. Your enemies are members of your own family.
Capa loh a napa a hoo tih a canu loh a manu taengah, a langa loh a mani taengah tlai. Hlang loh a imkhui kah hlang rhoek te a thunkha nah.
7 But as for me, I look to the Lord. I will wait for the God who saves me. My God will hear me.
Tedae kai tah BOEIPA te ka dawn tih kamah kah khangnah Pathen te ka lamtawn dongah ka ol he ka Pathen loh a hnatun ni.
8 Don't gloat over me, my enemies! Even though I fall, I will rise again. Though I sit in darkness, the Lord is my light.
Ka thunkha loh kai soah na kohoe boeh. Ka cungku cakhaw ka thoo pueng ni. Hmaisuep ah ka ngol cakhaw BOEIPA tah kai ham vangnah la om.
9 I will endure the Lord's anger because I have sinned against him. But after that he will argue my case and give me justice. He will bring me into the light and I will see his integrity.
Amah taengah ka tholh coeng dongah BOEIPA kah thintoek he ka phueih mai bitni. Ka tuituknah a oelh tih ka tiktamnah a saii. Kai he vangnah khuila kai n'khuen vetih a duengnah te ka hmuh pueng ni.
10 Then my enemies will see it and cover their faces in shame for taunting me, asking, “Where is the Lord your God?” With my own eyes I will see what happens to them; they will be trodden down like mud in the streets.
Kai taengah, “Na Pathen BOEIPA te melae?,” aka ti ka thunkha rhoek loh a hmuh vaengah yah loh anih a thing bitni. Anih te ka mik loh a hmuh vaengah tol kah tangnong bangla cawtkoi ham om pawn ni.
11 On that day it will be time to build your walls. On that day your boundaries will be extended.
Na vongtung thoh hamla khohnin pai vetih te khohnin ah tah khotlueh a suem ni.
12 On that day people will come from Assyria and the cities of Egypt, from Egypt to the Euphrates River, from sea to sea, from mountain to mountain.
Te khohnin vaengah tah Assyria neh Egypt khopuei lamkah khaw, Egypt neh tuiva, tuitunli lamkah khaw, tuitunli neh tlang, tlang lamkah khaw nang taengla ham pha ni.
13 But the rest of the earth will become desolate because of what those who live there have done.
Amih khoboe thaihtae lamloh amah khosa rhoek kongah diklai khaw khopong la poeh ni.
14 Protect your people with your shepherd's rod. Take care of your flock, your special people, who live alone in the wilderness and in cultivated land. Let them feed in Basham and Gilead as they did long ago.
Na pilnam te na caitueng neh luem puei laeh. Na rho boiva he duup bueng ah ni kho a sak. Khosuen tue kah bangla Bashan neh Gilead kah cangphil cangngol lakli ah khaw luem uh saeh.
15 Like the time when you left the land of Egypt, I will do miracles for you.
Egypt kho lamkah na sunglat tue vaengkah bangla khobaerhambae te kan tueng ni.
16 The nations will see, and they will be humiliated despite their strength. They will cover their mouths with their hands, and their ears shall become deaf.
Namtom loh a hmuh uh vetih amamih kah thayung thamal boeih te a yah uh puei ni. A kut te a ka dongah a puei uh vetih a hna paang uh ni.
17 They will lick the dust like snakes; they will be like the creepy-crawlies of the earth. They will come trembling from their fortresses to meet the Lord our God, fearful and afraid before him.
Rhul bangla laipi a laeh uh ni. Diklai kah aka kawl uh bangla a puep lamloh tlai uh ni. Mamih kah Pathen BOEIPA taengah birhih uh vetih nang te n'rhih uh ni.
18 Who is a God like you who forgives sin and passes over the rebellion of those who are left of his special people? You do not remain angry forever because you delight in showing faithful love.
Pathen namah bangla thaesainah aka phuei tih a rho a meet ham boekoeknah aka hmil he unim aka om? A thintoek te a yoeyah la pom pawt vetih a sitlohnah ni a omtoem eh.
19 You will have compassion on us again. You will tread our sins under your feet, and you will throw our sins into the depths of the sea.
Mael vetih mamih n'haidam ni. Mamih kathaesainah khaw a khoh ni. Amih kah tholhnah cungkuem te tuitunli kah laedil la na voeih bitni.
20 You will give your trustworthy truth to the people of Jacob, your faithful love to the people of Abraham, as you promised our forefathers long ago.
Hlamat kum lamloh a pa rhoek taengah na toemngam bangla oltak he Jakob taengah, sitlohnah he Abraham taengah na paek ni.
