Asang Khongca Bible (Eastern Khumi Chin, 2019)
World English Bible
1To naah kai mah, Aw Jakob zaehoikungnawk, Israel imthung takoh ukkungnawk, tahngai oh; katoeng ah lokcaekhaih na panoek o han om ai maw? tiah ka naa.
1I said, “Please listen, you heads of Jacob, and rulers of the house of Israel: Isn’t it for you to know justice?
2Kahoih to na hnukma o moe, sethaih to na koeh o lat; kai kaminawk ih ahin to na khok pae o moe, ahuh pong ih ngan doeh na khok pae o;
2You who hate the good, and love the evil; who tear off their skin, and their flesh from off their bones;
3nangcae loe laom pui pongah thongh han ih moi baktih, laom pongah thongh hanah abaeh ih moi baktiah, kai kaminawk ih ngan to na caak o moe, ahin to na khok o pacoengah, ahuhnawk to na khaeh pae o.
3who also eat the flesh of my people, and peel their skin from off them, and break their bones, and chop them in pieces, as for the pot, and as meat within the cauldron.
4Nito naah loe nihcae mah Angraeng khaeah hang o tih, toe anih mah pathim pae mak ai: a sak o ih hmuen hoih ai pongah, to tiah a hangh o naah anih mah nihcae khae hoi mikhmai hawk ving tih.
4Then they will cry to the LORD, but he will not answer them. Yes, he will hide his face from them at that time, because they made their deeds evil.”
5Angraeng mah kai ih kami loklam amkhraengsak, tahmaanawk kawng to hae tiah thuih; buh pacah o naah nihcae mah monghaih kawng to thuih o, buh pacah o ai naah loe, misa anghtawkhaih kawng to a thuih o.
5The LORD says concerning the prophets who lead my people astray—for those who feed their teeth, they proclaim, “Peace!” and whoever doesn’t provide for their mouths, they prepare war against him:
6To pongah hnuksakhaih a hnuk o han ai ah, nangcae nuiah vinghaih to pha ueloe, angzo han koi thuih han ai ah, vinghaih to na tong o tih; tahmaanawk hanah ni duemh tih, khodai loe nihcae han khoving ah angcoeng tih.
6“Therefore night is over you, with no vision, and it is dark to you, that you may not divine; and the sun will go down on the prophets, and the day will be black over them.
7Hnukhaih tawn kaminawk loe azat o ueloe, angzo han koi thui thaih kaminawk loe poek anghmang o sut tih; ue, Sithaw khae hoi lok pathimhaih om ai pongah, nihcae loe pahni tamuep o boih tih, tiah thuih.
7The seers shall be disappointed, and the diviners confounded. Yes, they shall all cover their lips, for there is no answer from God.”
8Toe kai loe Jakob zaehaih hoi Israel zaehaih to taphong hanah, Angraeng ih Muithla hoiah ka koi; toenghaih, thacakhaih hoi sak thaihaih to ang paek.
8But as for me, I am full of power by the LORD’s Spirit, and of judgment, and of might, to declare to Jacob his disobedience, and to Israel his sin.
9Nangcae Jakob ih imthung takoh zaehoikung angraengnawk, Israel imthung takoh ukkung angraengnawk, tahngai oh; toenghaih to na panuet o moe, loktang to nam ro o sak.
9Please listen to this, you heads of the house of Jacob, and rulers of the house of Israel, who abhor justice, and pervert all equity,
10Athii palonghaih hoiah Zion to na sak o moe, zaehaih hoiah Jerusalem to na sak o.
10who build up Zion with blood, and Jerusalem with iniquity.
11Zaehoikungnawk loe bokhaih phoisa to talawk o pongah, katoengah lok takroek o ai, qaimanawk loe tangqum paek naah ni ca patuk o, nihcae ih tahmaanawk doeh tangka paek pacoengah ni hmabang angzo han koi hmuen kawng to thuih pae o. Toe nihcae loe Angraeng abomhaih to oep o moe, aicae salakah Angraeng oh na ai maw? Aicae nuiah raihaih pha mak ai, tiah a thuih o.
11Her leaders judge for bribes, and her priests teach for a price, and her prophets tell fortunes for money; yet they lean on the LORD, and say, “Isn’t the LORD among us? No disaster will come on us.”
12Nangcae pongah, Zion loe laikok baktiah atok tih, Jerusalem loe long kangpop baktiah angpop sut tih, tempul sakhaih mae doeh taw ih hmuensangnawk baktiah om tih.
12Therefore Zion for your sake will be plowed like a field, and Jerusalem will become heaps of rubble, and the mountain of the temple like the high places of a forest.
