< Micah 1 >

1 The word of Yahweh which came unto Micah the Morashtite, in the days of Jotham, Ahaz, Hezekiah, kings of Judah, —of which he had vision concerning Samaria, and Jerusalem: —
BOEIPA ol he Judah manghai Jotham, Ahaz, Hezekiah tue vaengah Morasthite Maikah taengla cet. Te te Samaria neh Jerusalem ham ni a hmuh.
2 Hear ye peoples, all of you, Hearken, O earth and the fulness thereof, —and let My Lord Yahweh be among you for a witness, My Lord out of his holy temple.
Pilnam loh a cungkuem te hnatun saeh. Diklai neh a cungkuem loh hnatung saeh. Ka Boeipa Yahovah tah nangmih taengah om saeh. Ka Boeipa tah a hmuencim bawkim lamloh laipai la om coeng.
3 For lo! Yahweh, coming forth out of his place, —that he may descend, and march along upon the high places of the earth.
BOEIPA tah amah tolhmuen lamloh ha pai ngawn coeng ne. Te phoeiah suntla tih diklai hmuensang, hmuensang te a cawt.
4 Then shall the mountains be melted beneath him, and, the valleys, be cleft, —as wax before the fire, as waters poured out in a steep place.
Tlang rhoek he a yung duela yut uh coeng. Tuikol rhoek te hmai hmai kah khoirhat bangla phih uh tih tui bangla singling ah long.
5 For the transgression of Jacob, is all this, and for the sin of the house of Israel, —Whose is the transgression of Jacob? Is it not Samaria’s? And whose is the sin of Judah? Is it not Jerusalem?
Te boeih te Jakob kah boekoeknah neh Israel imkhui kah tholhnah dongah ni. Jakob kah boekoeknah te Samaria moenih a? Judah kah hmuensang te Jerusalem moenih a?
6 Therefore will I make of Samaria a heap in a field, the plantings in a vineyard, —and I will pour down, into the valley, her stones, and, her foundations, will I lay bare;
Te dongah Samaria te khohmuen lairhok la, misurdum kah thingling la ka khueh ni. A lungto te kolrhawk la ka lun pah vetih a khoengim te ka yoe pah ni.
7 And, all her images, shall be beaten in pieces, and, all her rewards for unchastity, shall be burned in the fire, and, all her idols, will I make a desolation, —for, out of the reward of unchastity, she gathered [them], and, unto the reward of unchastity, shall they return.
A mueidaep boeih te a phop uh vetih a paang boeih te hmai ah a hoeh uh ni. A muei boeih te khopong la ka khueh ni. Pumyoih paang te coi sitoe cakhaw pumyoih paang la mael ni.
8 For this cause, will I lament and howl, I will go stript and bare, —I will make a lamentation, like the wild dogs, and a mourning, like ostriches.
He ham he ka rhaengsae vetih ka rhung ni. Khotling neh pumtlingla ka van ni. Pongui bangla rhaengsaelung ka khueh vetih, tuirhuk vanu bangla nguekcoinah ka khueh ni.
9 For dangerous are her wounds, —for she hath come as far as Judah, she hath reached as far as the gate of my people, as far as Jerusalem.
A boengha te rhawp coeng tih Judah taengla a caeh dongah Jerusalem hil ka pilnam kah vongka te a pha.
10 In Gath, do not tell, in Accho, do not weep, —in Beth-l’aphrah, roll yourselves in dust.
Gath ah khaw puen boeh, Bethophrah ah rhap rhoe rhap uh boeh. Laipi dongah bol la bol nawn.
11 Pass thou over (for you), thou inhabitress of Shaphir, of disgraceful disclosure, —the inhabitress of Zaanan, hath not gone forth, at the lamentation of Beth-ezel, shall he take from you his station,
Saphir khosa rhoek nang khaw yahpohnah neh yangyal la nong laeh. Zaanan khosa khaw cet mahpawh. Bethezel kah rhaengsaelung loh a tungduelnah te nang lamloh a loh coeng.
12 Though the inhabitress of Maroth waited for blessing, —yet there came down calamity from Yahweh, to the gate of Jerusalem.
BOEIPA taeng lamkah yoethaenah loh Jerusalem vongka duela a suntlak dongah Maroth khosa rhoek tah hnothen ham te kilkul coeng.
13 Bind the chariot to the steed, O inhabitress of Lachish, —the beginning of sin, was she to the daughter of Zion, for, in thee, have been found the transgressions of Israel.
Lakhish khosa rhoek loh marhang te leng dongah buen laeh. Te tah Zion nu kah tholhnah a moenah ni. Na khuiah Israel kah boekoeknah ni a tueng rhoe.
14 Therefore, shalt thou give a dismission, against Moresheth-gath, —The houses of Achzib, served for a deception to the kings of Israel.
Te dongah Israel manghai rhoek taengah phokhapnah la Akhzib imkhui kah Moreshethkath te maan na paek ni.
15 The time shall yet be when, the heir, I will bring unto thee, O inhabitress of Mareshah, —as far as Adullam, shall enter the glory of Israel.
Mareshah khosa nang aka haek te koep kang khuen vetih Israel kah thangpomnah loh Adullam duela a pha ni.
16 Make thee bald, and cut off thy hair, for the children of thy pleasures, —enlarge thy baldness, like a vulture, for they are exiled from thee.
Na omthenbawnnah camoe rhoek te kuet lamtah vok pah laeh. Na lungawng khawatha bangla ka sak. Nang taeng lamloh a poelyoe uh hae ni.
