< Micah 6 >

1 Now hear that which YHWH is saying: “Rise—strive with the mountains, And cause the hills to hear your voice.
Angraeng mah thuih ih lok hae tahngai ah; Angthawk ah loe, maenawk hma ah nangmah kawng to thui ah; na lok to maenawk mah thaih o nasoe.
2 Hear, O mountains, the strife of YHWH, You strong ones—foundations of earth! For a strife [is] to YHWH, with His people, And with Israel He reasons.
Long ah kacak ohhaih ahmuen katawn, Aw maenawk, Angraeng laisaephaih to tahngai oh; Angraeng loe angmah ih kaminawk nuiah laisaep moe, Israel hoi lok angaekhaih to om tih.
3 O My people, what have I done to you? And how have I wearied you? Testify against Me.
Kai ih kaminawk, nangcae nuiah ka sak pazaehaih oh maw? Hmuenzit tih maw kang phawh o sak? Ka sethaih to na thui oh.
4 For I brought you up from the land of Egypt, And I have ransomed you from the house of servants, And I send Moses, Aaron, and Miriam before you.
Nangcae to Izip prae thung hoiah kang zaeh moe, tamna ah ohhaih thung hoiah kang loih o sak; nangcae hma ah Mosi, Aaron hoi Miriam to kang patoeh.
5 O My people, please remember What Balak king of Moab counseled, What Balaam son of Beor answered him (From Shittim to Gilgal), In order to know the righteous acts of YHWH.”
Kai ih kaminawk khaeah, Moab siangpahrang Balak mah timaw thuih, Boer capa Baalam mah anih khaeah tih lok maw pathim pae, tito panoek oh; to tiah nahaeloe Shitiim hoi Gilgal khoek to zaehoikung Angraeng toenghaih to na panoek o tih.
6 With what do I come before YHWH? Do I bow to God Most High? Do I come before Him with burnt-offerings? With calves—sons of a year?
Tih hoiah maw Angraeng hmaa ah kang zoh moe, kasang Angraeng hmaa ah ka kuep han? Hmai angbawnhaih sak hanah saningto kaom maitaw caa hoiah maw kang zoh han?
7 Is YHWH pleased with thousands of rams? With myriads of streams of oil? Do I give my firstborn [for] my transgression? The fruit of my body [for] the sin of my soul?
Angraeng loe tuu tae sangto, to tiah ai boeh loe situi vapui sang hato paek caedoeh palung anghoe tih maw? Ka sakpazaehaih pongah tapen tangsuek ka caa to ka paek moe, ka hingh zaehaih pongah ka takpum thingthai to ka paek han maw?
8 He has declared to you, O man, what [is] good; Indeed, what is YHWH requiring of you, Except—to do judgment, and love kindness, And to walk lowly with your God?
Aw kami, anih mah kahoih hmuen to ang patuek boeh; katoengah toksakhaih, palungnathaih to awt moe, poek pahnaemhaih hoiah na Sithaw hoi nawnto lam caeh khue ai ah loe, Angraeng mah ang hnik ih kalah hmuen timaw oh vop?
9 A voice of YHWH calls to the city, And wisdom fears Your Name, “Hear the rod, and Him who appointed it.
Angraeng ih lok vangpui thungah amsongh, palungha kami loe na hmin saiqathaih paek tih; thingboeng hoiah nang thuitaekkung ih lok to tahngai ah.
10 Are there yet [in] the house of the wicked Treasures of wickedness, And the abhorred meager ephah?
Kahoih ai loklam hoi na hak ih hmuenmaenawk hoi panuet thok katoeng ai hmuenzit tahhaih to imthung ah na suek maw?
11 Do I reckon [it] pure with balances of wickedness? And with a bag of deceitful stones?
Katoeng ai tahhaih hoi pasah koiah aling ih hmuenmae suekhaih vangpui to kaciim vangpui ah ka kroek han maw?
12 Whose rich ones have been full of violence, And its inhabitants have spoken falsehood, And their tongue [is] deceitful in their mouth.
Anih ih angraengnawk loe athii palonghaih to koeh o moe, to ah kaom kaminawk loe lok amlai o, palai hoi alinghaih lok to a thuih o.
13 And I also, I have begun to strike you, To make desolate, because of your sins.
Na zae o boeh pongah, kang caeh o taak moe, nganbawh kana kang paek o han.
14 You eat, and you are not satisfied, And your pit [is] in your midst, And you remove, and do not deliver, And that which you deliver, I give to a sword.
Buh to na caa tih, toe zok nam hah mak ai; zok nam thlam toengtoeng vop tih. Thoemto hmuennawk to na la tih, toe na patung thai mak ai; na patung ih hmuen to sumsen khaeah ka paek han.
15 You sow, and you do not reap, You tread the olive, And you do not pour out oil, And new wine—and you do not drink wine.
Na patii tih, toe na aat mak ai; Olive situi na pasaw tih, toe situi to nang nok mak ai; kaluep misurtui to na pasaw tih, toe misurtui to na nae mak ai.
16 And the statutes of Omri are kept habitually, And all the work of the house of Ahab, And you walk in their counsels, For My giving you for a desolation, And its inhabitants for a hissing, And you bear the reproach of My people!”
Nang loe Omri ih kuu to na lak, Ahab imthung takoh ih tuinuen to nam tuk moe, nihcae khosakhaih dan to na pazui pongah, kam rosak han, nang ih kaminawk doeh tamhnuih tabu ah ka sak han: to pongah kai ih kaminawk kasaethuihaih to na phaw tih.
