< Michaeas 2 >

1 They meditated troubles, and wrought wickedness on their beds, and they put it in execution with the daylight; for they have not lifted up their hands to God.
Angsonghaih iihkhun nui hoi kasae sak han pacaeng kaminawk loe khosak bing o! Nihcae loe to baktih hmuen sak thaihaih tawnh o pongah, akhawnbang khodai naah loe na tim o ih hmuen to na sak o.
2 And they desired fields, and plundered orphans, and oppressed families, and spoiled a man and his house, even a man and his inheritance.
Minawk ih lawk hmuen to a khit o moe, tha patoh hoiah a lomh pae o; imnawk doeh a khit o moe, lak pae o ving. Kami hoi imthung takohnawk to pacaekthlaek o moe, kami hoi a tawnh ih hmuennawk to lak pae o.
3 Therefore thus says the Lord; Behold, I devise evils against this family, out of which you shall not lift up your necks, neither shall you walk upright speedily: for the time is evil.
To pongah Angraeng mah, Khenah, hae imthung takoh nuiah raihaih phaksak hanah ka poek, to naah tahnong nang qoi thai mak ai; to atue loe kasae tue ah oh pongah, nam oek thai mak ai.
4 In that day shall a parable be taken up against you, and a plaintive lamentation shall be uttered, saying, We are thoroughly miserable: the portion of my people has been measured out with a line, and there was none to hinder him so as to turn him back; your fields have been divided.
To na niah kaminawk mah nang misa haih lok to thui o ueloe, paroeai palungsethaih hoiah na qah o haih tih: kam ro o boeh! Anih mah kai kaminawk ih taham to lak ving boeh: kawbang maw kai ih hmuen to a lak ving halat! Kaicae ih lawknawk doeh minawk han a paek ving boeh, tiah thui o tih.
5 Therefore you shall have no one to cast a line for the lot.
To pongah Angraeng ih kaminawk amkhuenghaih ahmuen ah, taham khethaih phoisa to vah moe, prae kawng thuih hanah kami maeto doeh na tawn o mak ai.
6 Weep not with tears in the assembly of the Lord, neither let [any] weep for these things; for he shall not remove the reproaches,
Nihcae mah lok taphong kaminawk khaeah, Lok thui hmah lai ah: nihcae loe azat o ueloe, lok thui o mak ai boeh, tiah thuih o.
7 who says, The house of Jacob has provoked the Spirit of the Lord; are not these his practices? Are not the Lord's words right with him? and have they not proceeded correctly?
Aw Jakob imthung takohnawk, Angraeng loe poek amthueng maw? Anih mah hae baktih hmuennawk hae sak maw? Ka thuih ih loknawk baktiah loklam toeng pazui kami khaeah kahoih hmuen to sah ai maw?
8 Even beforetime my people withstood [him] as an enemy against his peace; they have stripped off his skin to remove hope [in] the conflict of war.
Kai ih kaminawk loe canghnii ah misa angthawk o; misatukhaih ahmuen hoi zithaih tawn ai ah kamlaem kaminawk ih kahoih khukbuennawk to a khring pae o.
9 The leaders of my people shall be cast forth from their luxurious houses; they are rejected because of their evil practices; draw you near to the everlasting mountains.
Kahoih angmacae ohhaih imthung hoiah kai ih kami nongpatanawk to na haek o; nihcae ih caa khae hoiah ka lensawkhaih to dungzan khoek to na lak pae o ving boeh.
10 Arise you, and depart; for this is not your rest because of uncleanness: you have been utterly destroyed;
Angthawk ah loe, caeh o lai ah, hae ahmuen loe nangcae anghakhaih ahmuen na ai ni; amhnong boeh pongah kanung parai amrohaih hoiah nam ro tih boeh.
11 you have fled, no one pursuing [you: your] spirit has framed falsehood, it has dropped on you for wine and strong drink. But it shall come to pass, [that] out of the dropping of this people,
Amsawnlok thui kami hoi aling thaih kami mah, Kai loe nangcae khaeah misurtui hoi mu kawng to ka thuih han, tiah na naa o tih; nangcae loe to baktih tahmaa to ni na koeh o.
12 Jacob shall be completely gathered with all [his people: ] I will surely receive the remnant of Israel; I will cause them to return together, as sheep in trouble, as a flock in the midst of their fold: they shall rush forth from among men through the breach made before them:
Aw Jakob, kai mah kang pakhueng o boih han; kanghmat Israel kaminawk to kam khuengsak han; Bozrah ih tuu baktiah nawnto ka pakhueng han, tuu khongkha thung ih tuunawk baktiah ka suek han, kami paroeai pop pongah hraw o parai tih.
13 they have broken through, and passed the gate, and gone out by it: and their king has gone out before them, and the Lord shall lead them.
Khongkha phrae kami loe nihcae hmaa ah caeh tih; khongkha to phraek o, khongkha thung hoiah tacawt o moe, a caeh o: nihcae ih siangpahrang loe nihcae hma ah caeh tih, Angraeng loe nihcae hma ah caeh tih.
