Mikah 1
1 Judah siangpahrang, Jotham, Ahaz hoi Hezekiah dung ah Moresheth ih Mikah khaeah Angraeng ih lok to angzoh, Samaria hoi Jerusalem kawng pongah anih khaeah hnuksakhaih amtueng.
The word of the Lord which came to Micah the Morashtite, in the days of Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah: his vision about Samaria and Jerusalem.
2 Angraeng mah angmah ih kaciim tempul thung hoiah nangcae to misa ah ang suek, tiah Angraeng Sithaw mah hnukung ah oh hanah, aw nangcae kaminawk boih, thaih oh, aw long hoi a thungah kaom kaminawk boih, tahngai oh.
Give ear, you peoples, all of you; give attention, O earth and everything in it: let the Lord God be witness against you, the Lord from his holy Temple.
3 Khenah, Angraeng loe a ohhaih ahmuen hoiah angzoh; anih loe angzo tathuk ueloe, long nui ih kasang ahmuennawk to atii tih.
For see, the Lord is coming out from his place, and will come down, stepping on the high places of the earth.
4 Hmaai ah kamkaw samdai baktih, cathaeng ah kalong tathuk tui baktih toengah, maenawk loe anih hmaa ah amzawt o ueloe, tahawtnawk doeh tanim o tih.
And the mountains will be turned to water under him, and the deep valleys will be broken open, like wax before the fire, like waters flowing down a slope.
5 Hae hmuennawk boih loe Jakob sakpazaehaih hoi Israel imthung takoh zaehaihnawk pongah ni oh. Jakob sakpazaehaih loe tih aa? Samaria na ai maw? Judah ih kasang ahmuennawk loe tih aa? Jerusalem na ai maw?
All this is because of the wrongdoing of Jacob and the sins of the children of Israel. What is the wrongdoing of Jacob? is it not Samaria? and what are the high places of Judah? are they not Jerusalem?
6 To pongah Samaria to thlung baktiah ka tapop sut moe, misurkung thlinghaih ahmuen ah ka sak han; vangpui sakhaih thlungnawk to azawn ah ka kraih pae moe, im sak amtonghaih ahmuen to azom ah ka ohsak han.
So I will make Samaria into a field and the plantings of a vine-garden: I will send its stones falling down into the valley, uncovering its bases.
7 To ah kaom sakcop ih krangnawk to pakhoih pae boih tih, a thlai ih hmuennawk doeh hmai hoi thlaek boih tih; krangnawk to ka phraek pae boih han: anih mah tangzat zaw kami khae hoiah to hmuennawk to hak baktih toengah, tangzat zaw kami khaeah paek let tih.
And all her pictured images will be hammered into bits, and all the payments for her loose ways will be burned with fire, and all the images of her gods I will make waste: for with the price of a loose woman she got them together, and as the price of a loose woman will they be given back.
8 To tiah oh pongah ka qah moe, palungna ka panoek han, khokpanai ai ah bangkrai ah ka caeh han; tasui baktiah ka uk moe, bukbuh baktiah ka oi han.
For this I will be full of sorrow and give cries of grief; I will go uncovered and unclothed: I will give cries of grief like the jackals and will be in sorrow like the ostriches.
9 Anih ih ahma loe hoih thai mak ai; Judah khaeah phak boeh; kai kaminawk ih khongkha taengah phak boeh moe, Jerusalem ah mataeng doeh a phak boeh.
For her wounds may not be made well: for it has come even to Judah, stretching up to the doorway of my people, even to Jerusalem.
10 Nangcae mah to kawng to Gath ah thui o hmah loe, qah o hmah roe ah; Oprah ih im ah nangmah koeh ah long ah amlet ah.
Give no word of it in Gath, let there be no weeping at all: at Beth-le-aphrah be rolling in the dust.
11 Nangcae Saphir ah kaom kaminawk, bangkrai ah om oh loe, azathaih hoiah om oh; Beth Ezel palung sethaih abomh hanah Zaanan ah kaom kaminawk loe tacawt o ai: Anih mah nangcae han angdoethaih ahmuen paek mak ai.
Be uncovered and go away, you who are living in Shaphir: the one living in Zaanan has not come out of her town; Beth-ezel is taken away from its base, even from its resting-place.
12 Maroth ah kaom kami loe hoihhaih atue to a zing; toe Angraeng khae ih sethaih loe Jerusalem khongkha khoek to phak boeh.
For the one living in Maroth is waiting for good: for evil has come down from the Lord to the doorways of Jerusalem.
13 Aw nangcae Lakhish ah kaom kaminawk, hrang lakok qui to zaeng o coek lai ah: Israel zaehaih saksak baktiah, anih mah Zion canu zaehaih saksak hanah loklam to patuek.
Let the war-carriage be yoked to the quick-running horse, you who are living in Lachish: she was the first cause of sin to the daughter of Zion; for the wrongdoings of Israel were seen in you.
14 To pongah nangcae mah Moreshth Gath khaeah tangqum na paek o tih, Akzip ih imnawk loe Israel siangpahrangnawk alinghaih ah om tih.
For this cause give a parting offering to Moresheth-gath: the daughter of Achzib will be a deceit to the king of Israel.
15 Nangcae Moreshah ah kaom kaminawk, nangcae ih qawktoep han koi kami to kang hoih han; lensawk Israel siangpahrang loe Adullam ah pha tih.
Even now will the taker of your heritage come to you, you who are living in Mareshah: the glory of Israel will come to destruction for ever.
16 Na palung o ih na caanawk to naeh o ving pongah, lu angmuilum ah sam to aat oh; nihcae loe misong ah laemh o boeh pongah, tahmu baktiah lu angmuilum ah suem oh.
Let your head be uncovered and your hair cut off in sorrow for the children of your delight: let the hair be pulled from your head like an eagle's; for they have been taken away from you as prisoners.
