< Micah 1 >

1 Yahweh’s word that came to Micah of Morasheth in the days of Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah, which he saw concerning Samaria and Jerusalem.
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.
2 Hear, you peoples, all of you! Listen, O earth, and all that is therein. Let the Lord Yahweh be witness against you, the Lord from his holy temple.
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.
3 For behold, Yahweh comes out of his place, and will come down and tread on the high places of the earth.
Ven! Pakai ahung’e! A van mun alaltouna a hin dalhaha, leiset munsang lai jouse ahin chotpha ding ahi.
4 The mountains melt under him, and the valleys split apart like wax before the fire, like waters that are poured down a steep place.
Molsang jouse akengto noija jolsoh ding, phaichama longluta, khoilu meiyin akah jolla, asuhlanga twi kisunglha bang ding ahi.
5 “All this is for the disobedience of Jacob, and for the sins of the house of Israel. What is the disobedience of Jacob? Isn’t it Samaria? And what are the high places of Judah? Aren’t they Jerusalem?
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.
6 Therefore I will make Samaria like a rubble heap of the field, like places for planting vineyards; and I will pour down its stones into the valley, and I will uncover its foundations.
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.
7 All her idols will be beaten to pieces, all her temple gifts will be burned with fire, and I will destroy all her images; for of the hire of a prostitute has she gathered them, and to the hire of a prostitute shall they return.”
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.
8 For this I will lament and wail. I will go stripped and naked. I will howl like the jackals and mourn like the ostriches.
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.
9 For her wounds are incurable; for it has come even to Judah. It reaches to the gate of my people, even to Jerusalem.
Ajeh chu Pakaiyin kamite abolsetna ma ha hi amelsebeh seh jeng tan, adamdohna ding ahahsabeh seh jenge, kamite Jerusalem kelkot phung ahung geitai.
10 Don’t tell it in Gath. Don’t weep at all. At Beth Ophrah I have rolled myself in the dust.
Igalmi Gath jah a seipoh hihhel un, Beth Lephrah a jong kap hih hellun kinepna vetsahnan natahsao leivui laha kilihle leovin.
11 Pass on, inhabitant of Shaphir, in nakedness and shame. The inhabitant of Zaanan won’t come out. The wailing of Beth Ezel will take from you his protection.
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.
12 For the inhabitant of Maroth waits anxiously for good, because evil has come down from Yahweh to the gate of Jerusalem.
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.
13 Harness the chariot to the swift steed, inhabitant of Lachish. She was the beginning of sin to the daughter of Zion; for the transgressions of Israel were found in you.
Lachish khoa chengte, nasakol kangtalai a kaina ding bupeh unlang lhauvin, nangho Juda mite, khopi masapen nahiuve, nanghon Jeusalem chonsetna a napuilut’u ahitai.
14 Therefore you will give a parting gift to Moresheth Gath. The houses of Achzib will be a deceitful thing to the kings of Israel.
Moresheth-gat jong chu kilhahna ding thilpeh tilou hoidoh nading umlou ahitai. Aczib khopi mite, Israel lengpa dinga lheplhaha hung pang ding nahitauve.
15 I will yet bring a conqueror to you, inhabitants of Mareshah. The glory of Israel will come to Adullam.
O Mareshah mite nakhopi jou ding galmi nahenga kahinpuilut ding ahi, chule Israel lamkaiho, Israel loupina chu Adulam henga che ding ahitai.
16 Shave your heads, and cut off your hair for the children of your delight. Enlarge your baldness like the vulture, for they have gone into captivity from you!
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.
