Micah 3
1 I said, "Please listen, you heads of Jacob, and rulers of the house of Israel: Isn't it for you to know justice?
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 You who hate the good, and love the evil; who tear off their skin, 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 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 they will cry to Jehovah, but he will not answer them. Yes, he will hide his face from them at that time, because they made their deeds evil."
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 Jehovah concerning the prophets who lead my people astray; for those who feed their teeth, they proclaim, "Peace." and whoever doesn't provide for their mouths, they 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 is over you, with no vision, and it is dark to you, that you may not divine; and the sun will go down on the prophets, and the day will be black 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 The seers shall be disappointed, and the diviners confounded. Yes, they shall all cover their lips; for there is no answer from 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 as for me, I am full of power by the Spirit of Jehovah, and of judgment, and of might, to declare to Jacob his disobedience, 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 Please listen to this, you heads of the house of Jacob, and rulers of the house of Israel, who abhor justice, 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 Her leaders judge for bribes, and her priests teach for a price, and her prophets of it tell fortunes for money: yet they lean on Jehovah, and say, "Isn't Jehovah in the midst of us? No disaster will 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 Zion for your sake will be plowed like a field, and Jerusalem will become heaps of rubble, and the mountain of the temple like the high places of a 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.
