< Micah 1 >

1 Pakaiyin hiche thuhi Jotham phatlaija Micah henga anasei ahi. Ahaz le Hezekiah chu Judate leng ana hilhonin, Samaria le Jerusalem chungchang thua thil anamu sahin ahi.
And the word of the Lord came to Michaeas the son of Morasthi, in the days of Joatham, and Achaz, and Ezekias, kings of Juda, concerning what he saw regarding Samaria and Jerusalem.
2 Kigosan umun! Vannoija um chitin namtin jousen, ngaijuvin nangho vannoija um mitin vaipi jousen, Vo leisetle asunga umjousen ngaisoh keijun, Pakai thaneipenin Houin thenga konin nang ho dounan hettohsah in apang jinge.
Hear [these] words, you people; and let the earth give heed, and all that are in it: and the Lord God shall be amongst you for a testimony, the Lord out of his holy habitation.
3 Ven! Pakai ahung’e! A van mun alaltouna a hin dalhaha, leiset munsang lai jouse ahin chotpha ding ahi.
For, behold, the Lord comes forth out of his place, and will come down, and will go upon the high places of the earth.
4 Molsang jouse akengto noija jolsoh ding, phaichama longluta, khoilu meiyin akah jolla, asuhlanga twi kisunglha bang ding ahi.
And the mountains shall be shaken under him, and the valleys shall melt like wax before the fire, and as water rushing down a declivity.
5 Ipi-jeh'a hitobang thil sohham! Ajeh chu Israel galbol jeh le Juda insung pumpi chonset jeh ahi – a nampumpi chonset jeh ahi; Israel galbol hi koi pentah themmo kichansah ding ham? Samaria akhopiu! A milim doi hounau khopi lailung hoilai ham? Akhopiu Jerusalem ahi.
All these [calamities are] for the transgression of Jacob, and for the sin of the house of Israel. What is the transgression of Jacob? [is it] not Samaria? and what is the sin of the house of Juda? [is it] not Jerusalem?
6 Hijeh chun, kei Pakaiyin Samaria kho hi tollhanga alomchanga kasetna min lengpilei bolna bepma kaumsaha, lhang chunga songpal jouse jong phaichama katollhaha, khombul jouse jong kakal doh ding ahi.
Therefore I will make Samaria [as] a store-house of the fruits of the field, and [as] a planting of a vineyard: and I will utterly demolish her stones, and I will expose her foundations.
7 Khopi sunga milim doi kisem thuho jouse jong kavoh chip ding, alodoh agou jouse jong meiya kahal vamding, ajeh chu hiti ho jouse chu aboncha notiho mana kidong khoma kimu ahi.
And they shall cut in pieces all the graven images, and all that she has hired they shall burn with fire, and I will utterly destroy all her idols: because she has gathered of the hires of fornication, and of the hires of fornication has she amassed [wealth].
8 Hijeh chun keiman lunghemin pul dou’inge. Kengchot se lou in keng keovin vahle ing’e. Sial bangin ham- ingting, chule sumbupi bangin lunghem- inge.
Therefore shall she lament and wail, she shall go barefooted, and [being] naked she shall make lamentation as [that] of serpents, and mourning as of the daughters of sirens.
9 Ajeh chu Pakaiyin kamite abolsetna ma ha hi amelsebeh seh jeng tan, adamdohna ding ahahsabeh seh jenge, kamite Jerusalem kelkot phung ahung geitai.
For her plague has become grievous; for it has come even to Juda; and has reached to the gate of my people, even to Jerusalem.
10 Igalmi Gath jah a seipoh hihhel un, Beth Lephrah a jong kap hih hellun kinepna vetsahnan natahsao leivui laha kilihle leovin.
You that are in Geth, exalt not yourselves, and you Enakim, do not rebuild from [the ruins of] the house in derision: sprinkle dust [in the place of] your laughter.
11 Nangho Shaphir- a um mite, sohchang kikai mong bangin, sagohkeole jahchan kile kit tauvin. Nang ho Zaanan mite kulpia konin potdohdatauvin. Nangho Beth-ezel mite lunghem un, nakhopiu khombul jouse akilon soh tah jeh in.
The inhabitant of Sennaar, fairly inhabiting her cities, came not forth to mourn for the house next to her: she shall receive of you the stroke of grief.
12 Nangho Maroth a um miten vang panpina hung ding nangah lallheh jengui, ahinlah Pakaiya kona khaveng vung thutanna ahung lenglhan, Jerusalem kotpi phung ahung geitai.
Who has begun [to act] for good to her that dwells in sorrow? for calamities have come down from the Lord upon the gates of Jerusalem,
13 Lachish khoa chengte, nasakol kangtalai a kaina ding bupeh unlang lhauvin, nangho Juda mite, khopi masapen nahiuve, nanghon Jeusalem chonsetna a napuilut’u ahitai.
[even] a sound of chariots and horsemen: the inhabitants of Lachis, she is the leader of sin to the daughter of Sion: for in you were found the transgressions of Israel.
14 Moresheth-gat jong chu kilhahna ding thilpeh tilou hoidoh nading umlou ahitai. Aczib khopi mite, Israel lengpa dinga lheplhaha hung pang ding nahitauve.
Therefore shall he cause men to be sent forth as far as the inheritance of Geth, [even] vain houses; they are become vanity to the kings of Israel;
15 O Mareshah mite nakhopi jou ding galmi nahenga kahinpuilut ding ahi, chule Israel lamkaiho, Israel loupina chu Adulam henga che ding ahitai.
until they bring the heirs, O inhabitant of Lachis: the inheritance shall reach to Odollam, [even] the glory of the daughter of Israel.
16 Oh Juda mite ho, lunghem vetsahnan, nalujang sam kivotolunlang, muthong bangin lutol deldullin um uvin, ajeh chu nachate nahenga kona migama sohchanga kikai mong ding ahitauve.
Shave your hair, and make yourself bald for your delicate children; increase your widowhood as an eagle; for [your people] are gone into captivity from you.
