Baibal Olcim (Matupi Chin)
1Woe to the majestic crown of Ephraim’s drunkards, to the fading flower of his glorious splendor, set on the summit above the fertile valley, the pride of those overcome by wine.
1Anunae, Ephraim yurhui rhoek kah rhimomnah rhuisam neh a boeimang kirhang kah tamlaep khaw tahah coeng. Te te laimen kolrhawk kah a lu ah misurtui neh a thoek uh dae ta.
2Behold, the Lord has one who is strong and mighty. Like a hailstorm or destructive tempest, like a driving rain or flooding downpour, he will smash that crown to the ground.
2Boeipa taengkah tlungluen neh rhapsat la aka om tah rhaelnu khohli, lucik hlithae, cingtui tui rhilh bangla a yo te khaw a kut neh diklai la a tloeng ni.
3The majestic crown of Ephraim’s drunkards will be trampled underfoot.
3Ephraim yurhui kah rhimomnah rhuisam te a kho hmuiah a taelh uh ni.
4The fading flower of his beautiful splendor, set on the summit above the fertile valley, will be like a ripe fig before the summer harvest: Whoever sees it will take it in his hand and swallow it.
4Laimen kolrhawk lu kah a boeimang kirhang rhaipai bangla aka hoo te khohal hlan kah thaihloe bangla om ni. Te te aka hmuh la aka hmuh dongah a kut nen khaw pahoi a dolh.
5On that day the LORD of Hosts will be a crown of glory, a diadem of splendor to the remnant of His people,
5Tekah khohnin ah tah caempuei BOEIPA te, a pilnam aka sueng ham kirhang rhuisam la, boeimang cangen la om ni.
6a spirit of justice to him who sits in judgment, and a strength to those who repel the onslaught at the gate.
6Laitloeknah dongah aka ngol ham tiktamnah mueihla la, caemtloek kah vongka ah aka mael tak kah thayung thamal la om ni.
7These also stagger from wine and stumble from strong drink: Priests and prophets reel from strong drink and are befuddled by wine. They stumble because of strong drink, muddled in their visions and stumbling in their judgments.
7Te rhoek khaw misurtui loh a palang sak. Khosoih neh tonghma khaw yu dongah taengphael uh. Yu dongah palang uh tih misur dongah bol uh. Yu dongah kho a hmang uh. Khohmu lamloh palang uh tih laitloek dongah lol uh.
8For all their tables are covered with vomit; there is not a place without filth.
8Caboei tom te a lok kah a khawt baetawt la a hmuen tal.
9Whom is He trying to teach? To whom is He explaining His message? To infants just weaned from milk? To babies removed from the breast?
9Lungming la a thuinuet te unim, olthang aka yakming sak te unim? Rhangsuk lamloh tampo suktui aka kan te.
10For they hear: “Order on order, order on order, line on line, line on line; a little here, a little there.”
10Olrhi soah olrhi te olrhi sokah olrhi neh, rhilam sokah rhilam te rhilam phoeikah rhilam neh hela vel, kela vel a ti.
11Indeed, with mocking lips and foreign tongues, He will speak to this people
11Te dongah hekah pilnam he tamdaengtamkha kah hmuilai neh, ol tloe neh a voek ni.
12to whom He has said: “This is the place of rest, let the weary rest; this is the place of repose.” But they would not listen.
12Amah loh amih taengah, “Hekah duemnah dongah buhmueh rhahthih te duem saeh lamtah hilhoemnah he om saeh,” a ti nah. Tedae hnatun ham a ngaih uh moenih.
13Then the word of the LORD to them will become: “Order on order, order on order, line on line, line on line; a little here, a little there,” so that they will go stumbling backward and will be injured, ensnared, and captured.
13Te dongah BOEIPA ol loh amih taengah olrhi sokah olrhi patoeng loh, olrhi phoeikah olrhi a tloe loh, rhilam sokah rhilam loh, rhilam phoeikah rhilam pakhat loh hela vel, kela vel om ni. Te daengah ni cet uh vetih a hnuk la a palet uh eh. Te vaengah khaem uh vetih a hlaeh uh ni, a tuuk uh ni.
14Therefore hear the word of the LORD, O scoffers who rule this people in Jerusalem.
14Te dongah saipaat Jerusalem kah pilnam aka ngol thil hlang rhoek loh BOEIPA ol te ya uh lah.
15For you said, “We have made a covenant with death; we have fashioned an agreement with Sheol. When the overwhelming scourge passes through it will not touch us, because we have made lies our refuge and falsehood our hiding place.”
15“Dueknah neh paipi ka saii uh tih saelkhui taengah khohmu khaw ka khueh uh coeng. Mueirhih loh lawngkaih rhuihet la a vikvuek tih pongpa khaw pongpa mai saeh, mamih taengla ha pawk mahpawh. Laithae he mamih kah hlipyingnah la n'khueh uh tih a honghi khuiah n'thuh uh coeng,” na ti uh.
16So this is what the Lord GOD says: “See, I lay a stone in Zion, a tested stone, a precious cornerstone, a sure foundation; the one who believes will never be shaken.
16Te dongah ka Boeipa Yahovah loh he a thui. Zion kah lungto, nuemnainah lungto aka tloeng khaw kamah ni he. Bangkil te lung vang tungkho a suen tih aka tangnah rhoek te tamto uh mahpawh.
17I will make justice the measuring line and righteousness the level. Hail will sweep away your refuge of lies, and water will flood your hiding place.
17Tiktamnah he rhilam la, duengnah te mikrhael la ka khueh ni. Hlipyingnah laithae te rhaelnu loh a hnut vetih a huephael tui a yo pah ni.
18Your covenant with death will be dissolved, and your agreement with Sheol will not stand. When the overwhelming scourge passes through, you will be trampled by it.
18Dueknah taengkah na paipi loh n'dawth vetih saelkhui taengkah na mangthui khaw thoo mahpawh. Mueirhih rhuihet loh vikvuek uh tih m'pah vaengah te kah a cawtkoi la na om ni.
19As often as it passes through, it will carry you away; it will sweep through morning after morning, by day and by night.” The understanding of this message will bring sheer terror.
19Te te ha pawk carhil nen te nangmih ngawn tah mincang, mincang ah n'loh ni. Khothaih ah khaw khoyin ah khaw m'pah vetih olthang n'yakming te tonganah la om ni.
20Indeed, the bed is too short to stretch out on, and the blanket too small to wrap around you.
20Khawk sak hamla thingkong te a rhaem pah tih, a calui ham mueihloe te khaw a yaem pah.
21For the LORD will rise up as at Mount Perazim. He will rouse Himself as in the Valley of Gibeon, to do His work, His strange work, and to perform His task, His disturbing task.
21Perazim tlang kah bangla BOEIPA te thoo ni. Gibeon kol kah bangla a bibi saii ham tlai ni. A bibi he lang tih a thothuengnah tah kholong kah a thothuengnah bangla thothueng ham ni.
22So now, do not mock, or your shackles will become heavier. Indeed, I have heard from the Lord GOD of Hosts a decree of destruction against the whole land.
22Hmuiyoi voel boeh, namah kah kuelrhui loh m'ven ve. Khohmuen tom a boeihnah neh pha vitvawt he ka Boeipa caempuei Yahovah taeng lamkah ka yaak coeng.
23Listen and hear my voice. Pay attention and hear what I say.
23Ka ol he hnakaeng lamtah ya uh lah, ka olthui he hnatung lamtah ya uh lah.
24Does the plowman plow for planting every day? Does he continuously loosen and harrow the soil?
24Lotawn ham lo aka yoe loh hnin takuem a yoe a? A khohmuen te a yawt tih a thoe ta.
25When he has leveled its surface, does he not sow caraway and scatter cumin? He plants wheat in rows and barley in plots, and rye within its border.
25A hman te a hnil moenih a? Tlangsungsing a phul tih sungsing khaw a haeh. Cang te a kok dongah a phung tih a rhibawn ah cangtun neh cangkuem a duen ta.
26For his God instructs and teaches him properly.
26Anih te a toel vaengah a Pathen kah tiktamnah te a taengah a thuinuet pah.
27Surely caraway is not threshed with a sledge, and the wheel of a cart is not rolled over the cumin. But caraway is beaten out with a stick, and cumin with a rod.
27Tlangsungsing te thingphael neh a boh tih sungsing te leng kho neh a kuelh thil moenih. Tedae tlangsungsing te caitueng neh, sungsing te conghol neh a boh ta.
28Grain for bread must be ground, but it is not endlessly threshed. Though the wheels of the cart roll over it, the horses do not crush it.
28Buh khaw tip coeng dae a yoeyah la nook mahpawh. Te te a boh vaengah a leng kho neh a khawkkhek thil moenih. A marhang caem neh a tip sak moenih.
29This also comes from the LORD of Hosts, who is wonderful in counsel and excellent in wisdom.
29He khaw caempuei BOEIPA taeng lamkah ni. Amah kah cilsuep tah khobaerhambae la ha pawk tih a lungming cueihnah a pantai sak.
