Micah 3
1 Then said I, Hear, I pray you, ye heads of Jacob, and ye judges of the house of Israel, —Is it not yours 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 Ye haters of right, and lovers of wrong, —tearing away their skin from off them, 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 indeed have eaten the flesh of my people, and, their skin from off them, have stript, and, their bones, have they broken in pieces, —and will spread them out, as flesh with a fork, and as flesh, in the midst of a pot.
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, shall they make outcry unto Yahweh, but he will not answer them, —that he may hide his face from them, at that time, even as they have made wicked their doings.
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, saith Yahweh, concerning the prophets who are leading astray my people, —who bite with their teeth, and then cry—Prosper! and whoso holdeth not to their mouth, they hallow against him a war!
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, shall it be night to you, for lack of vision, and darkness to you, for lack of divination, —and the sun, shall go in, over the prophets, and the day, shall be overcast because of 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 And the men of vision, shall turn pale, and the diviners, shall blush, and shall put a covering upon their lip, all of them, —because there is no answer of 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, in very deed, I, am full of vigour, with the spirit of Yahweh, and of justice and of valour, —to declare to Jacob, his transgression, 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 Hear this, I pray you, ye heads of the house of Jacob, and ye judges of the house of Israel, —who abhor justice, and, all right, do pervert:
Kalan e lawkcengnae ka panuet teh, bangpueng dei e lawk ka raphoe teh,
10 Building Zion, with deeds of blood, —and Jerusalem, with perversity.
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 heads, for a bribe, pronounce sentence, and, her priests, for a price, give direction, and, her prophets, for silver, divine, —yet, on Yahweh, they lean, saying, Is not, Yahweh, in our midst? there shall not come upon us, calamity.
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 Wherefore, for your sake, Zion, as a field, shall be ploughed, and, Jerusalem, unto heaps of ruins, shall be turned, —and, the mountain of the house, shall [be] like mounds in a jungle.
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.
