< Micah 6 >

1 Pakaiyin ipi aseijem ngaijuvin, kipat dohin lang na chung chang thuhi molsang jouse maijah ahetoh ding in phongdoh temin.
HEAR ye now what the Lord saith; Arise, contend thou before the mountains, and let the hills hear thy voice.
2 Chule tun, O molsang jouse Pakai minel na thu kiseidoh hi ngaijuvin, aman amite chungah kinelna thu aseiye. Ami Israelte chunga gahna apeh ding ahi.
Hear ye, O mountains, the Lord’s controversy, and ye strong foundations of the earth: for the Lord hath a controversy with his people, and he will plead with Israel.
3 O kamite, nachunguva ipi kabolset em? Nachunguva ipi kabol gentheina umem? Nei donbut un.
O my people, what have I done unto thee? and wherein have I wearied thee? testify against me.
4 Chujong leh keiman Egypt gam'a konin kahin puidohuvin chuleh nabulput na henlhah nauva konin kana lhatdoh tauvin ahi. Aaron, Mose chule Miriam nakithopi dinguvin kahin sollin ahi.
For I brought thee up out of the land of Egypt, and redeemed thee out of the house of servants; and I sent before thee Moses, Aaron, and Miriam.
5 Kamite, nageldoh lou-u mong ham? Moab lengpa Baalak chun itobanga thilse anagon hija, Beor chapa Balaam chun itobanga ana donbut ham, kamiten geldohuvin. Chule Acace muna kipana Gilgal chengeija nakholjinnao chu geldohuvin. Keima na Pakaiyuvin kakitahna a thil ijakai kabolpeh nahiuve.
O my people, remember now what Balak king of Moab consulted, and what Balaam the son of Beor answered him from Shittim unto Gilgal; that ye may know the righteousness of the Lord.
6 Ipi thilpeh choija Pakai angsunga kalut dingham? Itobang maicham thil kapeh ding ham? Bongnou jeng pumgo thiltoa kachoilutna a ang sunga bohkhupma kapoh lut ding ham?
Wherewith shall I come before the Lord, and bow myself before the high God? shall I come before him with burnt offerings, with calves of a year old?
7 Kelngoi chaljeng asang asang chule vadung sangsom jen dimset Olive thaotwi kapehleh lunglhai mong ding hinam? Ka chonset ngaidamna dinga kacha apeng masapen kapeha lunglhai ding hinam?
Will the Lord be pleased with thousands of rams, or with ten thousands of rivers of oil? shall I give my firstborn for my transgression, the fruit of my body for the sin of my soul?
8 Vo mihem, Pakaiyin thilpha chu navetsahsa ahitai, Pakaiy in nanga kona adei chu ipiham? Thu adiha natanpeha, mi khoto ding nakhohsaha, chule na Pathen nunga kinemsahtaha lam najot ding hi ahibouve.
He hath shewed thee, O man, what is good; and what doth the Lord require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God?
9 Nachiha ahileh Pakai ging in! Pakai ogin in Jerusalem a mijouse akouve. Sugenthei dingin Pakaiyin galmi ahin sol’e.
The Lord’s voice crieth unto the city, and the man of wisdom shall see thy name: hear ye the rod, and who hath appointed it.
10 Migilou insunga kikhol gitlouna, joulhepna chu ken ipi kasei ding ham? Gaosap na chunga thil adihlou kite chu kasuh mil thei ding hinam?
Are there yet the treasures of wickedness in the house of the wicked, and the scant measure that is abominable?
11 Thil tena dihlouva kitea, hitobanga lhing louva kiveiho chu, keiman iti kathoh ding ham?
Shall I count them pure with the wicked balances, and with the bag of deceitful weights?
12 Nalahuva mihaothei hon jong pumhat jeng athouvin, nagam mite hon jong jou thu jeng aseijuve.
For the rich men thereof are full of violence, and the inhabitants thereof have spoken lies, and their tongue is deceitful in their mouth.
13 Hijeh a chu keiman nang kadenpan nahitai! Na chonset jeh'a ahomkeova kajam nahitai.
Therefore also will I make thee sick in smiting thee, in making thee desolate because of thy sins.
14 Nejong lechun nava theilou ding, na oisunga nagil keljing jeng ding, sum kikholdoh nan natin, ema na koidoh thei lou ding, nangin na kholdohsa chu keiman najou dingho kapeh ding ahi.
Thou shalt eat, but not be satisfied; and thy casting down shall be in the midst of thee; and thou shalt take hold, but shalt not deliver; and that which thou deliverest will I give up to the sword.
15 Muchi natu jing jeng ding, ahinlah aga nalo louhel ding ahi, Olive thao naheh heh ding, ahinla nangman thaotui nanei lou ding ahi.
Thou shalt sow, but thou shalt not reap; thou shalt tread the olives, but thou shalt not anoint thee with oil; and sweet wine, but shalt not drink wine.
16 Omri kitipa dan semsa najuijin, Ahab leng giloutah nung na juiyin, hijeh a chu mipi namu jousen ija nahsah louva nanuisat ding ahi.
For the statutes of Omri are kept, and all the works of the house of Ahab, and ye walk in their counsels; that I should make thee a desolation, and the inhabitants thereof an hissing: therefore ye shall bear the reproach of my people.
