Micah 3
1 And I said, Hear, I pray you, O heads of Jacob, and you princes of the house of Israel; Is it not for you to know judgment?
Kai ni hettelah ka dei, Jakop phun, Isarel miphun kacuenaw thai awh haw, nangmouh ni kalan lah lawkcengnae teh na panue hane kawi lah ao nahoehmaw.
2 Who hate the good, and love the evil; who pluck off their skin from off them, and their flesh from off their bones;
Hnokahawi na maithoe awh teh, hno kahawihoehe na lungpataw awh teh, ayânaw e vuen hai thoseh, hru dawk kambawm e tak hai thoseh, na hlip awh.
3 Who also eat the flesh of my people, and flay their skin from off them; and they break their bones, and chop them in pieces, as for the pot, and as flesh within the caldron.
Ka taminaw e a moi na ca awh teh, a vuen hah na ho awh. A hrunaw na khoe awh teh hlaam dawk thawng e moituen, ukkang dawk pahlouk e moi patetlah a moi hoi a hru na raban awh nahlangva,
4 Then shall they cry to the LORD, but he will not hear them: he will even hide his face from them at that time, as they have behaved themselves ill in their doings.
BAWIPA koe na hram na nakunghai, Kai ni ka thai mahoeh. Yonnae na sak awh e patetlah hatnae tueng dawk ka minhmai ka hro han.
5 Thus says the LORD concerning the prophets that make my people err, that bite with their teeth, and cry, Peace; and he that puts not into their mouths, they even prepare war against him.
Ka taminaw na yon sak awh teh, kaboumcalah na ca awh navah, Roumnae ao telah na hram awh teh, na pacapanei e taminaw ni tuk hanelah na kâcai awh.
6 Therefore night shall be to you, that you shall not have a vision; and it shall be dark to you, that you shall not divine; and the sun shall go down over the prophets, and the day shall be dark over them.
Profet lawk ka dei e naw, nangmouh ni vision na hmu thai awh hoeh nahanlah, tangmin e tueng a pha han. Hma lae tue pâpho thai hoeh nahanlah kho kahmawt han. Profetnaw koe Kanî ka khum han. Khodai patenghai yah hmonae ni a ramuk han.
7 Then shall the seers be ashamed, and the diviners confounded: yes, they shall all cover their lips; for there is no answer of God.
Hatnavah, profetnaw kaya sak awh han. Hma lae tue kapâphonaw ni a lungpout awh han. BAWIPA ni a pato hoeh dawk, ahnimouh pueng amamae pahni a tabuem awh han telah BAWIPA ni a ti.
8 But truly I am full of power by the spirit of the LORD, and of judgment, and of might, to declare to Jacob his transgression, and to Israel his sin.
Kai teh Jakop kâtapoenae hoi Isarelnaw a yonnae kamnue sak thai nahan BAWIPA e Muitha lahoi bahu panuenae, thoumthainae hoi ka kawi.
9 Hear this, I pray you, you heads of the house of Jacob, and princes of the house of Israel, that abhor judgment, and pervert all equity.
Kalan e lawkcengnae ka panuet teh, bangpueng dei e lawk ka raphoe teh,
10 They build up Zion with blood, and Jerusalem with iniquity.
Tami thei lahoi Zion khopui hai thoseh, hno kahawihoeh sak e lahoi Jerusalem khopui hai thoseh, ka sak e Jakop kho bawinaw, Isarel ukkungnaw thai awh haw.
11 The heads thereof judge for reward, and the priests thereof teach for hire, and the prophets thereof divine for money: yet will they lean on the LORD, and say, Is not the LORD among us? none evil can come on us.
Lawkcengkungnaw ni aphu a hmu hane dueng doeh a ngai awh. Vaihmanaw teh aphu hmu hane la doeh a cangkhai awh. Profetnaw ni tangka hmu hane lahoi hmalah e tue a pâpho awh. Hateiteh, BAWIPA teh maimouh koe ao nahoehmaw, runae koe phat thai mahoeh telah ouk na dei awh toe.
12 Therefore shall Zion for your sake be plowed as a field, and Jerusalem shall become heaps, and the mountain of the house as the high places of the forest.
Hatdawkvah, Zion mon teh nangmouh han laikawk kanawk e patetlah ao han, Jerusalem khopui teh songnawng vaikong lah ao han, Bawknae im onae mon hai ratu patetlah ao han.
