Micah 2
1 Woe to those that devise wickedness, and resolve on evil upon their couches! by the first light of the morning they execute it, if they have it in the power of their hand.
Yonnae sak hanlah ikhun dawk hoi kahawihoehe kho pouk e patetlah khodai torei, ka sak e tami teh a yawthoe awh.
2 And they covet fields, and rob them; and houses, and take them away: so they defraud the master and his house, and the man and his heritage.
Ayânaw e imlaw lungraduek awh teh, tahma lah ka lawm e tami hoi a im hai thoseh, tongpa hoi a hnopai hai thoseh, a lawp awh teh a pacekpahlek awh.
3 Therefore thus hath said the Lord, Behold, I will devise against this family an evil, from which ye shall not remove your necks; nor shall ye go erect; for it is an evil time.
Hatdawkvah, BAWIPA ni a dei eiteh, na lahuen hlouthoehnae, lû na loungoukhoehnae rucatnae imthungkhu dawk ka pha sak han. Runae teh hot patet e tueng lah ao han.
4 On that day shall one take up a parable against you, and lament with a mournful lamentation, and say, “We are utterly wasted: the portion of my people hath he exchanged; how hath he removed it from me! instead of restoring [them to us] he divideth our fields.”
Hatnae tueng nah, bangnuenae lawk lah hno awh vaiteh, lungmathoenae lah a sak awh hane teh, maimouh teh rawk katang awh toe. Ka miphun ni a coe hane kawi ka kut dawk hoi bout a la toe. Maimae laikawknaw na lawp awh teh ayânaw hah a rei toe.
5 Therefore shalt thou have none that shall draw the [measuring] cord in [his] lot in the congregation of the Lord.
Hatdawkvah, kamkhueng e Cathut e taminaw koe na coe awh hanelah ka bangnue hane tami awm mahoeh.
6 “Preach not;” [but] they shall preach: they shall not preach [indeed] to these, that reproach may not overtake them.
Profetnaw, profet lawk dei hanh awh. Ahnimanaw kayasak nahanlah profet lawk pâpho awh mahoeh.
7 Shall it be said [in] the house of Jacob, Is the spirit of the Lord straightened? are these his doings? Do not my words do good to him that walketh uprightly?
BAWIPA e Muitha teh ngang lah ao maw. Hote hnonaw na sak a na maw, telah Isarelnaw a pacei navah kalan e hno ka sak e tami teh ka lawk lahoi aphu a hmu nahoehmaw.
8 But long since is my people risen up as an enemy: from the garment do you pull off the ornament; of those that pass by securely [ye make] men returned from war.
Ayan hoi doeh Ka taminaw ni na taran awh toe. Taran tuknae koehoi a ban awh teh runae taket awh laipalah, kacetnaw e avan angki hoi athung angki hah a lawp awh.
9 The wives of my people do you drive out of their delightful houses; from their children do ye take away my ornament for ever.
Ka taminaw e a yunaw hah a phunepnae hmuen koehoi a hrek awh teh, ahnimouh koehoi Kaie bawilennae hah meng na lawp awh toe.
10 Arise ye, and depart; for this is not your resting-place; because it is polluted, it shall destroy [you], even with a grievous destruction.
Thaw nateh cet awh haw, hete ram heh nangmouh hanlah hnâroumnae hmuen nahoeh. Hete hmuen teh a khin dawkvah rawknae kalenpoung hoi a rawk han.
11 If a man that goeth after wind and lieth with falsehood [should say], “I will preach unto thee of wine and of strong drink:” he would be a preacher for this people.
Ma ngai patetlah laithoe ka dei e tami ni, Misur tui hoi yamu kong ka dei han tetpawiteh, ahni teh hote lawk kadeikung la doeh ao han.
12 I will [once] surely assemble, O Jacob, all of thee; I will surely gather up the remnant of Israel; I will place them together as flocks in the fold, as droves in the midst of their pen: they shall be crowded with men.
Oe, Jakop Kai ni na miphun pueng thoseh, bout kamkhueng sak han. Takha dawk e tu patetlah thoseh, hram kanaw koe e tuhu patetlah ka pâkhueng han. Tami apap poung dawk a pawlawk a cai poung han.
13 The wall-breaker cometh up before them; they break in and pass through the gate, and go out by it: and their king passeth on before them, and the Lord at their head.
Karaphoekungnaw ni ahnimae hmalah a cei awh. Ahnimouh ni hai a raphoe awh teh longkha dawk hoi a cei awh. Ahnimae siangpahrang ni ahnimae hmalah a cei teh BAWIPA ni lam a pâtue.
