Micah 3
1 Then I said, “You Israeli [MTY] leaders, listen [to what I say]! You should certainly [RHQ] know what things are right [to do] [and what things are wrong],
Ngaijuvin, nangho Israel lamkaihon, nangho adihlouva kona adih hekhen ho.
2 but you hate what is good and you love what is evil. [You act like butchers]: [it is as though] you strip the skin off my people and [tear] the flesh from their bones.
Ahinlah nanghon thilpha nahouvin, thilphalou nangailuve, nanghon kamite ahing changin avun nalip doh pehun, aphe jouse jong agua konin naleodohpehun ahi.
3 [It is as though] you chop them into pieces like [SIM] meat [to be cooked] in a pot.
Kamite aphe naneovin, avun jouse nalip dohuvin, agu nahebohpehuvin asa’u, sa kihonna belsunga sa hon bangin na kihonuvin ahi.
4 Then, [when you have troubles], you plead to Yahweh [to help you], but he will not answer you. At that time, he will turn away from you because of the evil things that you have done.”
Chutengleh nahahsat genthei niuleh Pakai hengah panpina ngaichan nathum kitun, na taonao na sanpeh diuva naginchat mongu hinam? Thilse tampi nabol jou keijuva, Pakai angsunga thil na thumuleh, amit kale changa jong navet louhel diu ahi.
5 This is what Yahweh says about your [false] prophets who are deceiving the people: “If someone gives them food, those prophets say that things will go well for him. But they declare war against anyone who does not give them food.
Hiche hi Pakaiyin asei ahi. “Nang ho, themgao lhem hon kamite napui mong tauve! Anneh ding napeteu henga kichamna thun na kiteppiuvin, ahinlah nehding napenomloute hengah gal nabol khumun ahi.
6 So [now it is as though] [MET] night will descend on you prophets; you will not receive any [more] visions. [It is as though] [MET] the sun will set for you; the time [when you are greatly honored] will end.
Tua hi nangho jan muthim tobanga naum diu, themgao thilmu banga namu lou diu, ahitai. Muthimin na umkimvellu ahitai, chuleh nahin nikhou achaina lam hiding ahitai.
7 [Then] you (seers/people who predict what will happen in the future) [DOU] will be disgraced; you will cover your faces [because you will be ashamed], because when you ask me [what will happen], there will be no answer from me.”
Chuteng gao thilmu neipa jong kijumso ding, chuleh mitva neipa jong kisih ding chuleh pon a na mai nakitom ding, ajeh chu Pathen’a kona donbutna namu tahlou jeh ahi.
8 But as for me, I am full of [God’s] power, [power] from the Spirit of Yahweh. I am courageous and strong to declare to the Israeli people [MTY, DOU] that they have sinned and rebelled [against Yahweh].
Ahivangin kei dingin vang katha ahat in, lhasam louvin Pakai Lhagao thahat nan kadim jing nai. Keima Pakai thutah leh ahatnan kadim jingnai Israel chonsetna hangsan tahin ka doudal jing’e.
9 You leaders of the people [MTY] of Israel, listen to this! You hate [it when people do] what is just; and [when people say] what is true, you distort it, [saying it is false].
Kasei ngaijuvin, Israel lamkaiho! nang hon thu adiha kitan natheuvin, akitoha thilbol nahei monguvin ahi.
10 [It is as though] you are building [houses in] Jerusalem on foundations that consist of murdering people and doing what is corrupt.
Nanghon Jerusalem jou leh nal chuleh thisan so pumin na sauvin ahi.
11 Your leaders make [favorable] decisions [only if they receive] bribes. Your priests teach people only if [those people] pay them [well]. Your [false] prophets require people to pay them to tell people what will happen [to them] in the future. Those prophets say, “Yahweh is telling us [what we should say], and [we say that] we will not experience any disasters.”
Lamkaija panghon nehguh muna dingin thu natanuvin! Thempua panghon jong Pathen danbu sum lonan thu nahillun, Themgaova pang hon jong sum munana dingin gaothu aseijun, ahijeng vang'in Pakai jenga bou kingai in bou, naki seijuve. “Ema akhohpoi keiho heng lam ah hung un.” ajeh chu Pakai eiho laha aume natiuve.
12 Because of what you [leaders do], Zion [Hill] will be plowed like a field; it will become a heap of ruins/rubble; the top of the hill, where the temple is [now], will be covered with bushes.
Nangho jeh'a Zion lhang jong loulai kikai banga kikai ding, Jerusalem jong mangthah dinga kemsuh ding! Gammang soh tading, tule tua houin kisah namun khu.
