< Micah 3 >
1 And I sayd, Heare, I pray you, O heads of Iaakob, and yee princes of the house of Israel: should not ye knowe iudgement?
Jakob boeilu rhoek neh Israel imkhui kah rhalboei rhoek loh hnatun uh laeh ka ti. Tiktamnah ming ham te nangmih ham moenih a?
2 But they hate the good, and loue the euill: they plucke off their skinnes from them, and their flesh from their bones.
A then aka hmuhuet tih boethae, boethae aka lungnah rhoek, amih pum dongkah a vin neh a rhuh dong lamkah a saa aka rheth rhoek.
3 And they eate also the flesh of my people, and flay off their skinne from them, and they breake their bones, and chop them in pieces, as for the pot, and as flesh within the caldron.
Ka pilnam saa te a caak uh tih amih pum kah a vin te a khong pa uh. Te phoeiah a rhuh te a pop sak tih am dongkah bangla a rha uh. Ampaih khui kah maeh bangla a khueh uh.
4 Then shall they crye vnto the Lord, but he will not heare them: he wil euen hide his face from them at that time, because they haue done wickedly in their workes.
BOEIPA taengla pang uh mai cakhaw amih te doo mahpawh. Amih khoboe te a thae van dongah te vaeng hnin ah tah amih taeng lamloh a maelhmai a thuh ni.
5 Thus saith the Lord, Concerning the prophets that deceiue my people, and bite them with their teeth, and cry peace, but if a man put not into their mouthes, they prepare warre against him,
Ka pilnam kho aka hmang sak tonghma rhoek ham BOEIPA loh he ni a thui. A no a maeng uh tih rhoepnah a doek uh. Tedae a ka te a khuem uh mai pawt dongah a taengah caemtloek hoep uh coeng.
6 Therefore night shalbe vnto you for a vision, and darkenesse shalbe vnto you for a diuination, and the sunne shall goe downe ouer the prophets, and the day shalbe darke ouer them.
Te dongah mangthui lamkah he nang taengah khoyin tih hlang bi lamkah khaw nang taengah tah hmuep coeng. Tonghma rhoek ham tah khomik te tla vetih amih ham tah khothaih khaw hmuep ni.
7 Then shall the Seers bee ashamed, and the southsayers confounded: yea, they shall all couer their lippes, for they haue none answere of God.
Khohmu rhoek te yak uh vetih hlang bi rhoek khaw ngam uh ni. Pathen kah hlatnah a om pawt dongah amih boeih te a hmui a buem uh ni.
8 Yet notwithstanding I am full of power by the Spirite of the Lord, and of iudgement, and of strength to declare vnto Iaakob his transgression, and to Israel his sinne.
Tedae kai tah Jakob kah a boekoeknah neh Israel taengah a tholhnah phoe pah hamla, thadueng neh, BOEIPA kah mueihla neh, tiktamnah neh, thayung thamal neh ka baetawt coeng.
9 Heare this, I pray you, ye heades of the house of Iaakob, and princes of the house of Israel: they abhorre iudgement, and peruert all equitie.
Jakob imkhui kah boeilu neh Israel imkhui kah rhalboei rhoek, tiktamnah aka tuei tih a thuem boeih te aka kawn sak rhoek loh hnatun uh laeh he.
10 They build vp Zion with blood, and Ierusalem with iniquitie.
Zion te thii neh, Jerusalem te dumlai neh a sak uh.
11 The heads thereof iudge for rewardes, and the Priestes thereof teache for hyre, and the prophets thereof prophecie for money: yet wil they leane vpon the Lord, and say, Is not the Lord among vs? no euill can come vpon vs.
A boeilu rhoek loh kapbaih hamla lai a tloek uh tih a khosoih rhoek loh a phu la a thuinuet uh. A tonghma rhoek khaw tangka hamla hma uh. Tedae, “Kaimih lakli ah BOEIPA om pawt tih kaimih soah yoethaenah pai mahpawh nama?” aka ti ham ni BOEIPA dongah a hangdang uh.
12 Therefore shall Zion for your sake bee plowed as a field, and Ierusalem shalbe an heape, and the mountaine of the house, as the hye places of the forest.
Zion nang kong ah khohmuen a yoe uh vetih Jerusalem khaw lairhok la poeh ni. Tlang im te khaw hmuensang duup la poeh ni.
