Micah 3
1 I also said: Hear, O ye heads of Jacob, And ye leaders of the house of Israel! Is it not for you to administer justice?
Jakob boeilu rhoek neh Israel imkhui kah rhalboei rhoek oh hnatun uh laeh ka ti. Tiktamnah ming ham te nangmih ham moenih a?
2 But ye hate what is good, and love what is evil; Ye tear from men their skin, Yea, their flesh from their bones;
A then aka hmuhuet tih boethae, boethae aka lungnah rhoek, amih pum dongkah a vin neh a rhuh dong lamkah a saa aka rheth rhoek.
3 Ye devour the flesh of my people, And strip them of their skin, And break their bones, And cut them in pieces, as for the pot, And as flesh for the caldron?
Ka pilnam saa te a caak uh tih amih pum kah a vin te a khong pauh. Te phoeiah a rhuh te a pop sak tih am dongkah bangla a rha uh. Ampaih khui kah maeh bangla a khuehuh.
4 Then shall they cry to Jehovah, But he will not hear them; Yea, at that time will he hide his face from them, Because they have done iniquity.
BOEIPA taengla pang uh mai cakhaw amih te doo mahpawh. Amih khoboe te a thae van dongah te vaeng hnin ah tah amih taeng lamloh a maelhmai a thuh ni.
5 Thus saith Jehovah concerning the prophets, who deceive my people, Who, while they bite with their teeth, proclaim peace, But who, if one fill not their mouths, prepare war against him:
Ka pilnam kho aka hmang sak tonghma rhoek ham BOEIPA loh he ni a. thui. A no a maeng uh tih rhoepnah a doek uh. Tedae a ka te a khuem uh mai pawt dongah a taengah caemtloek hoep uh coeng.
6 Therefore shall night come upon you, so that ye shall have no vision, And darkness, so that ye shall not divine; The sun shall go down upon the prophets, And the day shall be dark to them.
Te dongah mangthui lamkah he nang taengah khoyin tih hlang bi lamkah khaw nang taengah tah hmuep coeng. Tonghma rhoek ham tah khomik te tla vetih amih ham tah khothaih khaw hmuep ni.
7 Then shall the seers be ashamed, and the diviners confounded, So that all of them shall hide their faces, Because there is no answer from God.
Khohmu rhoek te yak uh vetih hlang bi rhoek khaw ngam uh ni. Pathen kah hlatnah a om pawt dongah amih boeih te a hmui a buem uh ni.
8 But I am full of power, even of the spirit of Jehovah; Full of uprightness and courage, To declare to Jacob his transgression, And to Israel his sin.
Tedae kai tah Jakob kah a boekoeknah neh Israel taengah a tholhnah phoe pah hamla, thadueng neh, BOEIPA kah mueihla neh, tiktamnah neh, thayung thamal neh ka baetawt coeng.
9 O hear this, ye heads of the house of Jacob, And ye leaders of the house of Israel, Who abhor justice, And pervert all equity,
Jakob imkhui kah boeilu neh Israel imkhui kah rhalboei rhoek, tiktamnah aka tuei tih a thuem boeih te aka kawn sak rhoek loh hnatun uh laeh he.
10 Who build up Zion with blood, And Jerusalem with iniquity!
Zion te thii neh, Jerusalem te dumlai neh a sak uh.
11 Her heads judge for reward, And her priests teach for hire, And her prophets divine for money, And yet they lean upon Jehovah, saying, “Is not Jehovah in the midst of us? No evil can come upon us.”
A boeilu rhoek loh kapbaih hamla lai a tloek uh tih a khosoih rhoek loh a phu la a thuinuet uh. A tonghma rhoek khaw tangka hamla hma uh. Tedae, “Kaimih lakli ah BOEIPA om pawt tih kaimih soah yoethaenah pai mahpawh nama?” aka ti ham ni BOEIPA dongah a hangdang uh.
12 Therefore because of you shall Zion be ploughed as a field, And Jerusalem become heaps of stones, And the mountain of the temple like the heights of a forest.
Zion nang kong ah khohmuen a yoe uh vetih Jerusalem khaw lairhok la poeh ni. Tlang im te khaw hmuensang duup la poeh ni.
