3 Officials its in midst its [are] lions roaring judges its [are] wolves of [the] evening [which] not they gnaw to the morning.
A khui kah a mangpa rhoek te, sathueng la kawk. A laitloek rhoek tah hlaemhmah uithang bangla, mincang ham a cilh uh moenih.
4 Prophets its [are] insolent men of treacheri priests its they profane [the] sanctuary they do violence to [the] law.

Namtom te ka khoe tih, a bangkil ah pong uh coeng. A kawtpoeng te ka khah tih, aka pah om pawh. A khopuei te a rhaem uh tih, khosak a tal hil ah, hlang om pawh.

“Kai he n'rhih vetih, thuituennah he na doe ngawn bitni. Te vaengah ni a soah, ka cawh ham koi boeih tah, a khuirhung kah khaw khoe boel saeh,” ka ti. Tedae thoo uh tih, a khoboe rhamlang neh boeih porhak uh.

Te dongah maeh la ka pai khohnin hil kai he n'rhing uh. He tah BOEIPA kah olphong ni. Ka laitloeknah he tah namtom aka coi la, ram te kamah taengah aka tingtun sak la, ka thintoek thinsa boeih dongkah ka kosi he amih soah aka lun la om ni. Ka thatlainah hmai loh diklai pum a hlawp ni.
9 For then I will restore to peoples a lip purified to call all of them on [the] name of Yahweh to serve him a shoulder one.
Te vaengah BOEIPA ming te a pum la khue ham neh laengpang pakhat la amah taengah thohtat sak ham, pilnam kah hmuilai te cimphan la ka maelh pah ni.
