< Micah 6 >

1 Hear ye now what Yhwh saith; Arise, contend thou before the mountains, and let the hills hear thy voice.
BOEIPA loh a thui te hnatun uh laeh. Thoo tlang te ho laeh. Na ol te som long khaw ya saeh.
2 Hear ye, O mountains, Yhwh's controversy, and ye strong foundations of the earth: for Yhwh hath a controversy with his people, and he will plead with Israel.
Tlang rhoek neh diklai yung cak loh BOEIPA kah tuituknah te hnatun saeh. BOEIPA kah tuituknah he a pilnam taeng neh Israel taengah a thui coeng.
3 O my people, what have I done unto thee? and wherein have I wearied thee? testify against me.
Ka pilnam nang taengah balae ka saii tih nang te metlam kang ngae? Kamah taengah thui lah.
4 For I brought thee up out of the land of Egypt, and redeemed thee out of the house of servants; and I sent before thee Moses, Aaron, and Miriam.
Nang te Egypt kho lamloh kang khuen tih sal rhoek imkhui lamloh nang kan lat. Na mikhmuh ah Moses, Aaron neh Miriam kan tueih.
5 O my people, remember now what Balak king of Moab consulted, and what Balaam the son of Beor answered him from Shittim unto Gilgal; that ye may know the righteousness of Yhwh.
Ka pilnam aw, Moab manghai Balak loh a uen te khaw, Beor capa Balaam loh anih a doo te poek uh laeh. Te daengah ni Shittim lamloh Gilgal duela BOEIPA kah duengnah a ming.
6 Wherewith shall I come before Yhwh, and bow myself before the high God? shall I come before him with burnt offerings, with calves of a year old?
Ba nen lae BOEIPA ka doe vetih hmuensang Pathen taengah ka duengyai eh. Amah te hmueihhlutnah neh, sael kum khat ca nen a ka doe eh?
7 Will Yhwh be pleased with thousands of rams, or with ten thousands of rivers of oil? shall I give my firstborn for my transgression, the fruit of my body for the sin of my soul?
BOEIPA loh tutal thawngkhat neh, situi soklong thawngrha nen khaw a moeithen aya? Ka caming te ka boekoeknah dongah, ka bungko thaihtae te ka hinglu kah tholhnah dongah ka paek thai aya?
8 He hath shewed thee, O man, what is good; and what doth Yhwh require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God?
Hlang nang taengah melae aka then, nang kah te BOEIPA loh balae a toem ti khaw, tiktamnah te rhep saii ham khaw, sitlohnah te lungnah ham khaw, na Pathen taengah kodo la pongpa ham khaw ha puen coeng.
9 Yhwh's voice crieth unto the city, and the man of wisdom shall see thy name: hear ye the rod, and who hath appointed it.
BOEIPA ol tah khopuei taengah pang coeng. Lungming cueihnah tah na ming te a hmuh. Hnatun uh lah, caitueng neh unim a tuentah coeng?
10 Are there yet the treasures of wickedness in the house of the wicked, and the scant measure that is abominable?
Halang im neh halangnah thakvoh te hlihloeh tih cangnoek pawtrhawt te kosi a hong thil pueng aya?
11 Shall I count them pure with the wicked balances, and with the bag of deceitful weights?
Halangnah cooi ham neh hlangthai palat kah coilung sungsa te ka cim sak aya?
12 For the rich men thereof are full of violence, and the inhabitants thereof have spoken lies, and their tongue is deceitful in their mouth.
A hlanglen rhoek kongah kuthlahnah cung uh tih a khuikah khosa rhoek loh a honghi a thui uh. A ol tah a ka ah palyal uh mai.
13 Therefore also will I make thee sick in smiting thee, in making thee desolate because of thy sins.
Te dongah nang ngawn ham neh na tholhnah dongah nang pong sak ham kai loh kantloh sak.
14 Thou shalt eat, but not be satisfied; and thy casting down shall be in the midst of thee; and thou shalt take hold, but shalt not deliver; and that which thou deliverest will I give up to the sword.
Na caak akhaw na hah hae pawt vetih na pongnah he na ko khuiah om ni. Na balkhong dae na loeih hae mahpawh. Na loeih cakhaw cunghang taengla ka paek ni.
15 Thou shalt sow, but thou shalt not reap; thou shalt tread the olives, but thou shalt not anoint thee with oil; and sweet wine, but shalt not drink wine.
Na tuh dae na at mahpawh. Olive te na neet cakhaw situi na hluk hae mahpawh. Misur thai na khueh akhaw misurtui na o mahpawh.
16 For the statutes of Omri are kept, and all the works of the house of Ahab, and ye walk in their counsels; that I should make thee a desolation, and the inhabitants thereof an hissing: therefore ye shall bear the reproach of my people.
Omri kah khosing neh Ahab imkhui kah khoboe boeih te a dawn coeng. Amih kah cilkhih dongah na pongpa uh. Te dongah ni kai loh nang te imsuep la kang khueh. Tedae rhoek khosa rhoek kah thuithetnah neh ka pilnam kah kokhahnah ni na phueih uh eh.
