Mikah 5
1 Ransahu canunaw, kamkhueng awh haw. Maimanaw teh king na kalup awh toe. Isarel lawkkungnaw e a hmaibei dawk bongpai hoi a hem awh toe.
Now you shall gather yourself in troops, daughter of troops. He has laid siege against us. They will strike the judge of Israel with a rod on the cheek.
2 Oe, Bethlehem Epharath khopui, Judah uknae thung nang teh kathoengcae kho lah na o eiteh, Isarel miphunnaw ka uk e BAWIPA teh, Kai hanlah nang koehoi a kamnue han. Talai pekkamtawngnae koehoi kamnuek e BAWIPA doeh.
But you, Bethlehem Ephrathah, being small among the clans of Judah, out of you one will come forth to me that is to be ruler in Israel; whose goings forth are from of old, from everlasting.
3 Hatdawkvah, camo ka khe hane ka khang e napui ni a khe hoehnahlan hai thoseh, Isarel miphun hoi kacawie hmaunawnghanaw teh a kâthung hoehroukrak thoseh, ahnimouh teh ka pahnawt han.
Therefore he will abandon them until the time that she who is in labor gives birth. Then the rest of his brothers will return to the children of Israel.
4 Ahni ni a kangdue vaiteh, BAWIPA tha o thasainae lahoi thoseh, BAWIPA Cathut e min taluenae lahoi thoseh, a tuhunaw hah a kawk han. Ahnimouh hai a cak awh han. Bangkongtetpawiteh, Ahni ni talai apout ditouh a uk vaiteh, roumnae ao han.
He shall stand, and shall shepherd in the strength of the LORD, in the majesty of the name of the LORD his God: and they will live, for then he will be great to the farthest parts of the earth.
5 Assiria tami ni kaimouh ram a tho teh, maimae imnaw a coungroe navah, tukhoum sari touh hoi bawi taroe touh a tâco vaiteh,
He will be our peace when Assyria invades our land, and when he marches through our fortresses, then we will raise against him seven shepherds, and eight leaders of men.
6 Tahloi hoi Assiria ram hai thoseh, khopui longkha koevah Nimrod ram hai thoseh, koung raphoenae lahoi, maimouh ram lah a tho awh vaiteh, maimae ram thung vah ka coungroe e Assiria e kut dawk hoi maimanaw hah na hlout sak awh han.
They will rule the land of Assyria with the sword, and the land of Nimrod with the drawn sword. He will deliver us from the Assyrian, when he invades our land, and when he marches within our border.
7 Kacawie Jakop miphunnaw teh Jentel miphun moikapapnaw koe ao vaiteh, BAWIPA ni na poe e tadamtui patetlah thoseh, tami ring mahoeh. Taminaw e ngainae koe ka cet hoeh e kho ratui patetlah ao han.
The remnant of Jacob will be in the midst of many peoples, like dew from the LORD, like showers on the grass, that do not wait for man, nor wait for the sons of men.
8 Kacawie Jakop miphunnaw ni Jentelnaw koe ao awh vaiteh, ratu e sarang sendek patetlah thoseh, tuhunaw koe sendektanca patetlah ao han. Sendek a kâen toteh apinihai ngang thai laipalah a coungroe vaiteh a ca han.
The remnant of Jacob will be among the nations, in the midst of many peoples, like a lion among the animals of the forest, like a young lion among the flocks of sheep; who, if he goes through, treads down and tears in pieces, and there is no one to deliver.
9 Nangmae taran koelah kambawng e naw hah na tuk awh vaiteh, na tarannaw pueng teh asung han.
Let your hand be lifted up above your adversaries, and let all of your enemies be cut off.
10 BAWIPA a dei e teh, hote atueng dawkvah, nangmae umsali hai marangnaw hoi ranglengnaw koung ka raphoe han.
"It will happen in that day," says the LORD, "That I will cut off your horses out of the midst of you, and will destroy your chariots.
11 Na ram dawk e rapanimnaw hoi khopuinaw hai ka raphoe han.
I will cut off the cities of your land, and will tear down all your strongholds.
12 Na ram dawk e camkathoumnaw ka raphoe vaiteh, khueyue hai awm mahoeh.
I will destroy witchcraft from your hand; and you shall have no soothsayers.
13 Meikaphawknaw hah nangmae hmaitung koung ka raphoe han. Meikaphawknaw hah nangmouh ni bout na bawk awh mahoeh toe.
I will cut off your engraved images and your pillars out of your midst; and you shall no more worship the work of your hands.
14 Asherahkungnaw na hmaitung vah ka phawk han. Na khopui haiyah be ka raphoe han.
I will uproot your Asherim out of your midst; and I will destroy your cities.
15 Ka lawk ka ngai hoeh e Jentelnaw hah puenghoi lungkhueknae a yon phu ka pathung han.
I will execute vengeance in anger, and wrath on the nations that did not listen."
