< Micah 4 >

1 Yahweh [says that] some day his temple will be on top of a mountain, and that mountain will be the most important [MET] one on the earth; it will be [as though it is] higher than all the hills, and huge groups of people from all over the world will come there [to worship].
Ninunung leh Pakai Hou in molsang hi molsang jouse laha asang pena hung kitung doh ding, vannoi pumpia dinga munpipen hung hiding ahi. Hiche molsanga chu mitin vaipi hung long khoma Pathen ahou khom diu ahi.
2 [People from] many nations will say [to each other], “Let’s go to the mountain where Yahweh is, to the temple where we can worship the God whom Jacob [worshiped]. There God will teach us how he wants us to conduct our lives, and we will do what he wants us to do.” Zion [Hill] is the place where he will teach [people]; and [people will go] out from Jerusalem [to tell others] his messages.
Namtina kona mipite hung kikhoma asei diu, “Hungun Pakai molsang a kaltou uu hitin Jacob Pathen henga chun. Hiche muna chu aman lampi eihil dingu chule aman eihilnao lampia chu ichediu ahi. Chutengle eihon jong Pakai lampi semsa dung’a iche theidiu ahi.
3 Yahweh will settle disputes between many people, and he will [also] settle disputes between powerful nations that are far away. Then people will hammer their swords to cause them to become plow blades, and [hammer] their spears to cause them to become pruning knives. [Armies of] nations will no [longer] fight against [armies of other] nations, and they will no longer train [men how to fight] in wars.
Pakaiyin namtin vaipi kaha chamna asem ding, chuteng leh mihon a chemjam’u tucha-a akikhen uva, atengcha’u jong kang kuija akikhendiu, namkhatin namkhat douna- a chemjam alap louhel diu ahitai.
4 Everyone will sit [peacefully] under his own grapevines, and under his own fig trees; no one will cause them to be afraid. [That is what will surely happen] because the Commander of the armies of angels has said it.
Mitin chamnale lungmona-a khosadiu, miho jousen ama ama lengpigui limnoi le theichang phung noija nomsa taha hinkho amandiu, kichatna mong mong umtalou ding, Vana kona Pakai galmihon atepsa ahitai.
5 Many [HYP] [of the people of other] nations will worship [IDM] their own gods, but we will worship Yahweh our God always, forever.
Akimvelluva mitinin ama ama doihou cheh-u Pathen in houjong leu, Eihon vang Pakai i-Pathen- u atonsot atonsot geija ijui jing diu ahi.
6 Yahweh says, “There will soon be a time when I will gather the people whom I have punished, who have been (exiled/forced to go to other countries), all those whom [I have caused to] suffer much.
Hiche nikho ahunglhun teng tah chuleh “A elbai jouse kakhop khomsoh keija, min adelmong jouse jong kakhopkhom ding chuleh keiman kasuh lhaset jouse jong kakhopkhom dingu ahi.
7 My people who did not die while they were exiled will become a strong nation [again]. Then [I], Yahweh, will be their king, and I will rule from Jerusalem forever.
Koitobang alhasam jouse jong kakihin sosah chehdiu, migama kikai mongsa ho jong namlen ka sosah ding ahi. Chuteng keima Pakaiyin tonsot geija Jerusalema lengvai kapoh ding ahi.”
8 As for you people of Jerusalem [MET], you who [guard all of my people] like [MET] [a shepherd guards his sheep] from a tower, you [who live on] Zion [Hill], will have great power again. You people who live in Jerusalem will again rule like you did previously.
Nang Jerusalem chanu, Pathen mite chenna, lengvaipohna thaneitah nei, na vaihopna hung kile kitding ahi, nang man tamtah Jerusalem.
9 [So] why [RHQ] are you wailing now? Is it because you have no king? Have all your wise people died? You are groaning loudly like [SIM] a woman who is giving birth to a baby.
Ipi bolla tua hi genthei tah’a kap nahim? Na lamkai ding leng naneilou hitam? Na michingho thigama hitam? numei naosonat in aphah banga na nahi hitam?
10 [Well], you people of Jerusalem should writhe and groan like [SIM] a woman who is having birth pains, because now you must leave this city, and [while you are traveling], you will set up tents in open fields [at night]; you will go to [live in] Babylon. [But while you are] there, [I], Yahweh, will rescue you; I will free you from the power/control [MTY] of your enemies.
Vo Zion chanu, numei naoso nat in aphah-a athohlal bang in kipeh le le jeng in. Ajeh chu tua hi nangman khopi hi nadalhah ding ahitai, gangtaha gamla taha Babylona nakikai mong ding ahitai.
11 Now [the armies of] many nations have gathered to attack you. They are saying, ‘Jerusalem must be destroyed! We want to see this city [when it becomes ruins]!’
Tua hi namtin vaipi nangma doudinga hung kikhom ding ahitai. Ahinlah hia chun Pakaiyin naveng intin, nagal mite-a kon in nahuhdoh nante.
12 But they do not know what [I], Yahweh, think, and they do not understand what I plan: I will gather them [and punish them] like [SIM] [farmers] thresh grain on the ground.
Ahinlah amahon Pathen lunggel le athilgon ahepouve. Pathen in ipibolla amite asuh gentheija, ajepma akhoptup kit ham ti hi, hiche nam miten ahetheipouve.
13 So, you people of Jerusalem, rise up and punish [MET] [the nations who oppose you]. I will cause you [to be very strong], [as if] [MET] you had horns made of iron, [as if] [MET] you had hoofs made of bronze; and you will crush many nations. And [then you will take] from your enemies the valuable things that they have taken [from other countries], and you will dedicate those things to [me, the one who is] the Lord of all [the people on] the earth.”
Kipatdoh inlang nam hohi suchip in, O Jerusalem Keiman thih saki hole sum eng chaokol kapeh ding nahin, nam tampi ahel hella navoh chip ding ahi. Nangman agou anei hou amansah hou chu Pakai angsunga napeh lut kit ding ahi.
