< Micah 6 >

1 Hear, I pray you, what, Yahweh, is saying, —arise thou, maintain thy controversy before the mountains, and let the hills hear thy voice: —
Cathut e lawk thai awh haw, thaw nateh monpuinaw hmalah toe awh haw, moncanaw ni na lawk thai a naseh.
2 Hear, ye mountains, the controversy of Yahweh, and ye lasting rocks, the foundations of the earth, —for, a controversy, hath Yahweh, with his people, and, with Israel, will he dispute.
Oe monnaw, ka cak poung e talai dunaw, BAWIPA e lawk thai awh haw, BAWIPA ni a miphun hoi kâ toe hane ao. Isarel miphun hoi kâdei kâoun han.
3 O my people! what have I done to thee? and wherein have I wearied thee? Testify thou against me!
Oe ka miphun, nang hah Kai ni bangtelamaw ouk na ti boi, bangtelamaw ouk na rektap boi, Kai koe dei haw.
4 For I brought thee up out of the land of Egypt, and, out of the house of slaves, I ransomed thee, —and I sent before thee, Moses, Aaron and Miriam.
Nang teh Izip ram hoi na tâcokhai toe. San na toung koehoi na ratang toe. Na hmalah Mosi, Aron hoi Miriam tinaw hai ka patoun toe.
5 O my people! remember, I pray you, what Balak king of Moab, counseled, and what Balaam son of Beor, answered him, —from the Acacias as far as Gilgal, that ye may know the righteousness of Yahweh.
Oe ka miphun, Shittim khopui hoi Gilgal khopui rahak vah, Moab siangpahrang Balak pouknae hoi thoseh, Beor capa Balaam ni bout a dei e lawk hai thoseh, pouk awh haw, hottelah na pouk pawiteh, BAWIPA e a lannae na thai panuek awh han.
6 Wherewith, shall I come before Yahweh? bow myself to God on high? Shall I come before him with ascending-sacrifice? with calves of a year old?
Kai ni BAWIPA hmalah bangmaw ka sin vaiteh ka cei han, ka rasang poung e BAWIPA hmalah ka tabo han maw. Hmaisawi thueng nahanlah kum touh e maitoca ka sin vaiteh a hmalah ka cei han maw.
7 Will Yahweh, be pleased, with thousands of rams? with myriads of torrents of oil? Shall I give my firstborn for my transgression? the fruit of my body for the sin of my soul?
Cathut ni tutan 1000, satui moikapap hah a lungkuep han na ou, ka payonnae kecu dawk, ka camin hai thoseh, ka muitha yon kecu dawk ka tak hai thoseh, ka thueng han na ou.
8 He hath told thee, O son of earth, what is good, —what then is, Yahweh, seeking of thee, but, to do justice, to delight in lovingkindness, and humbly to walk with thy God?
Oe, ka tami, lamthung kahawi na patue toe. Kalane hno saknae, lungpataw pahrennae, na BAWIPA e hmalah lung kârahnoumnae lahoi, saknae hoeh laipalah, alouke thuengnae bangmaw Cathut ni a hei vai.
9 The voice of Yahweh, to the city, crieth out, With safety for him who regardeth his name, —Hear ye the rod, and who hath appointed it.
BAWIPA lawk ni khopui akaw, a lungkaang e tami ni A min a taki, yuenae hai thoseh, lawkcengkung teh apine tie hai thoseh, thai awh haw.
10 Even yet, are there, in the house of the lawless one, the treasures of lawlessness, —and the scant measure—accurst?
Tami kahawihoeh im dawk, kamsoum hoeh lahoi tawn e hnopai hoi panuettho e tangthung ca ao rah ou.
11 Shall I be pure with lawless balances? or with bag of deceitful weights?
Kânging hoeh e yawcu hoi dumyennae yawngya ka tawn e khopui hah, kathounge khopui ka ti han na maw.
12 For, her rich men, are full of violence, and, her inhabitants, have spoken falsehood, —and, their tongue, is deceitful in their mouth.
Bawi tangrengnaw ni thama lahoi a lawp awh teh Kamathoenaw ni hai laithoe a dei awh. Ahnimae pahni dawk kaawm e lai teh laithoe doeh.
13 Moreover also, I, have made thee sick with smiting thee, —laying thee waste because of thy sins.
Hatdawkvah, namamouh e yon kecu dawk nang na raphoe nahanelah, ka patawpoung lah ka rek han.
14 Thou, shalt eat—and not be satisfied, but be shrunk with hunger within thee, —Though thou remove, yet shalt thou not set in safety, and, what thou dost set in safety, to the sword, will I deliver.
Nang ni na ca ei na boum mahoeh kahai lah na o han, na tawn ei na sin mahoeh, na sin e hno hai kâtheinae koe ka poe han.
15 Thou, shalt sow, but shalt not reap, —thou, shalt tread the olive, but shalt not anoint thee with oil, also the grape, but shalt not drink the wine.
Cati na kahei awh ei, cang na a awh hoeh, olive paw na katin awh ei, satui na kâhluk mahoeh. Misur paw na katin nakunghai misurtui na net awh mahoeh.
16 For strictly observed are the statutes of Omri, and every doing of the house of Ahab, and ye have walked in their counsels, —to the end I may give thee up to desolation, and her inhabitants to hissing, that, the reproach of peoples, ye may bear.
Bangkongtetpawiteh, nang ni Omri siangpahrang ni a dei e naw hai thoseh, Ahab siangpahrang ni a sak e naw pueng hai thoseh na tarawi teh, ahnimae thapoenae koe lah na cei toe. Hatdawkvah, na thei vaiteh, khocanaw teh panuilai lah ka sak vaiteh, nang teh ka taminaw e dudam e lah na o han.
