< Micah 2 >
1 Terrible things will happen to you who lie awake at night, planning to do wicked things. You get up at dawn, and you do those things, [as soon as] you are able to do them.
Ajalkhun chunga alupna muna, ajan jan a thilse bolding ngaitoa gel gelho ada ahiuve, ijeh-inem itileh athodoh teng abol nathei tha aneiyu ahi.
2 You want fields [that belong to other people], so you seize them; you also take their houses. You cheat people to get their homes, taking away the property that belongs to their families.
Gam phabep na deichat jong chu nakilah jengin ahi, mi koitobang ham insah na deichat jong chu nakilah jengin ahi.
3 Therefore, this is what Yahweh says: “I will cause you people to experience disasters, and you will not be able to escape [MTY] from them. You will no [longer] walk around proudly, because when those things happen, it will be a time of much trouble for you.
Hiche hi Pakaiyin asei ahi, “Thilse naboljeha thilse kapeh ding; nanah homma kona na lolchang na bodoh jou lou ding, Chuleh kiletsah tahin lam jot hih'in, phat khohtah hung ding ahi.
4 At that time, [your enemies] will make fun of you; they will ridicule you by singing this sad song about you: ‘We are completely ruined; Yahweh is taking our land/fields from us, and he will give it to those who will capture us.’”
Hiche nikho teng chule nagal miten totnop na-a na nei ding, nang douna-a kiletsahna la asah ding, keiho amongthah kahi tauve, Pakaiyin kamite chanding akheltan, kakoma konin kachanding akilah dohtan ahi.
5 So [when it is the time for the land to be given back to you] people who belong to Yahweh, there will be no one [MTY] who will be able to (cast lots/throw marked stones) to determine which land belongs to whom.
Pakai miten nagamgi iti kisekhen ham tia aei sangun, michom dangin nagamgi asekhen ding ahitai.
6 The people [who heard me say that] replied to me, “Do not prophesy such things! Do not say that [Yahweh] is going to humiliate us [by causing us to experience disasters]!”
Hitobang chu seitahih in, mipiten adonbutuve. Hitobng chun gaothu seidan.
7 But you people [MTY] of Israel should not [RHQ] talk like that! The Spirit of Yahweh will certainly not [RHQ] be patient [with people who say such things]! People who continually do things that are righteous will certainly [RHQ] like/appreciate what I say.
O Israel insung mite, hitobanga hi thu kiseimong mong ding hinam? Pakai lhagao chu thohhat taha um mong hinam? Adih chu nabol nom leh, kilhamonna thu keija kona najah ding ahiye.
8 [But Yahweh says], “[Recently] my people have been acting toward me like an enemy. When soldiers return from fighting [against their enemies], you [rich people refuse to return the coats of those poor soldiers who have borrowed money from you] [and given you their coats to guarantee that they will pay back the money that they borrowed from you]. [It is as though] you are waiting to forcefully take their coats off their backs!
Tutahin kamite eidoudin akipanun, galmite bangin, mi lungmonga umjong anung lamah asangkhol na holhah pehun, kiphatlam taha umho jong gal nabol khumuve.
9 You have forced women to leave their nice homes, and you have stolen from their children forever the (blessings/good things) that I wanted to give them.
Kamite numeiho, nomtah a achennaova konin anodoh un, achateo asenhoa konin jong Pathen loupina alamang tauve.
10 [So] get up and leave [here]! This is not a place where you can rest [and be safe/protected], because you have (defiled it/caused it to be a place that I hate); it will be completely destroyed.
Kipatdoh un! Chetauvin! Hikom mun hi na gamule na in-u ahipoi, nangho dinga chonsetna dimset mun ahi, chule themmona jeh'a kichai deh jeng nahiuve.
11 [You people want] a prophet who will lie to you, saying ‘I will preach [that you should drink] plenty of wine and [other] alcoholic drinks!’ That is the [kind of] prophet who [would please] you.”
Avetkah nan Themgao tamtah laha jousei themgao khat in, na kom ah, “Keiman tunia ju leh khamna theija Kipana Thupha kasei ding ahi!” ati.
12 “[But some day], you descendants of Jacob, you Israeli people who have survived, I will bring you back [from (exile/other countries)], I will gather you together like [SIM] [a shepherd gathers his] sheep from the pasture into a pen [DOU]; there will be many of you in your land/country.
“Nikhat leh O Israel keiman kahin khop ding nahiuve, keiman akidalha amoh chengse kahin khop ding nahiuve, kelngoihonte banga hamhing laha kahin lonkhom kit ding nahiuve. Heng’e, na gamuva mi hung tam kit ding ahi.
13 Your leader will enable them to leave the countries where they have been exiled; he will lead them out of the gates [of their enemies’ cities], [back to your own country]. Your king will lead them; [it is I], Yahweh, who will be their king!”
Na lamkaiteuvin nakikai mong naova kona nasuhtup kitdiu ahi, chule nagalmiteu kelkot phunga kona na hong sunga nahung kile kit dingu ahi, na Lengpaovin na lamkai untin na Pakaiyu mong mongin na ventup jing dingu ahi”.
