Baibal Olcim (Matupi Chin)
1Hear ye this word, which I take up concerning you for a lamentation. The house of Israel is fallen, and it shall rise no more.
1He ol he hnatun uh. Kai loh nangmih hamla Israel imkhui kah rhahlung kang khuen coeng.
2The virgin of Israel is cast down upon her land, there is none to raise her up.
2Israel oila te tla coeng tih a thoh ham koei voel pawh. A khohmuen ah a phap coeng tih anih aka thoh om pawh.
3For thus saith the Lord God: The city, out of which came forth a thousand, there shall be left in it a hundred: and out of which there came a hundred, there shall be left in it ten, in the house of Israel.
3Te dongah ka Boeipa Yahovah loh he ni a thui. Khopuei te thawngkhat la khong cakhaw yakhat la cul ni. Yakhat khong mai cakhaw Israel imkhui ham tah parha la cul ni.
4For thus saith the Lord to the house of Israel: Seek ye me, and you shall live.
4BOEIPA loh he ni a thui. Israel imkhui nang te kai n'toem uh lamtah hing uh.
5But seek not Bethel, and go not into Galgal, neither shall you pass over to Bersabee: for Galgal shall go into captivity, and Bethel shall be unprofitable.
5Bethel te toem uh boel lamtah Gilgal te paan uh boeh. Beersheba te khaw pah uh boeh. Gilgal te a poelyoe rhoe a poelyoe uh vetih Bethel khaw boethae la om ni.
6Seek ye the Lord, and live: lest the house of Joseph be burnt with fire, and it shall devour, and there shall be none to quench Bethel.
6BOEIPA te toem uh lamtah hing uh. Joseph im kah hmai bangla thaihtak vetih n'hlawp ve. Bethel te aka thih te om mahpawh.
7You that turn judgment into wormwood, and forsake justice in the land,
7Tiktamnah khaw pantong la poeh tih duengnah te diklai la tloeng uh.
8Seek him that maketh Arcturus, and Orion, and that turneth darkness into morning, and that changeth day into night: that calleth the waters of the sea, and poureth them out upon the face of the earth: The Lord is his name.
8Airhitbom neh buhol aka saii, dueknah hlipkhup te mincang la aka khueh, khothaih te khoyin bangla aka hmuep sak, tuipuei tui te a khue tih diklai hman ah aka hawk kah a ming tah Yahweh ni.
9He that with a smile bringeth destruction upon the strong, and waste upon the mighty.
9Aka tlung sokah rhoelrhanah neh a ngaidip tih hmuencak taengah rhoelrhanah a pai sak.
10They have hated him that rebuketh in the gate: and have abhorred him that speaketh perfectly.
10Vongka ah ol aka tloek te a hmuhuet uh tih cuemthuek la aka thui te a tuei uh.
11Therefore because you robbed the poor, and took the choice prey from him: you shall build houses with square stone, and shall not dwell in them: you shall plant most delightful vineyards, and shall not drink the wine of them.
11Te dongah tattloel soah na sundaep uh tih a taengkah cangpai buham te na loh uh. Lungrhaih im na thoh uh cakhaw a khuiah kho na sa uh mahpawh. Naidoeh misurdum na tawn uh cakhaw a misurtui te na o uh mahpawh.
12Because I know your manifold crimes, and your grievous sins: enemies of the just, taking bribes, and oppressing the poor in the gate.
12Na boekoeknah khawk tih na tholhnah a ping khaw ka ming ta. Aka dueng te na daengdaeh uh tih tlansum na loh uh dongah khodaeng rhoek tah vongka ah a kaeng uh.
13Therefore the prudent shall keep silence at that time, for it is an evil time.
13Te dongah a tue neh aka cueih long he tah yoethae tue ham he khaw kuemsuem coeng.
14Seek ye good, and not evil, that you may live: and the Lord the God of hosts will be with you, as you have said.
14A then na toem uh tih na thae pawt daengah ni na hing uh eh. Te vaengah ni na thui bangla nang taengah caempuei Pathen BOEIPA te a om tangloeng eh.
15Hate evil, and love good, and establish judgment in the gate: it may be the Lord the God of hosts may have mercy on the remnant of Joseph.
15A thae te thiinah uh lamtah a then te lungnah uh, vongka ah tiktamnah khueh lah, caempuei Pathen BOEIPA loh Joseph kah a meet te a rhen khaming.
16Therefore thus saith the Lord the God of hosts the sovereign Lord: In every street there shall be wailing: and in all places that are without, they shall say: Alas, alas! and they shall call the husbandman to mourning, and such as are skillful in lamentation to lament.
16Te dongah ka Boeipa, caempuei Pathen Yahweh loh he he a thui. Toltung takuem kah rhaengsaelung neh rhamvoel tom ah, “Ayoe, ayoe,” a ti uh. Lopho te nguekcoinah hamla a khue vetih rhathinah ming hamla a rhaengsae uh ni.
17And in all vineyards there shall be wailing: because I will pass through in the midst of thee, saith the Lord.
17Nang khui longah ka pah ham dongah misurdum boeih ah rhaengsaelung om saeh tila BOEIPA loh a thui.
18Woe to them that desire the day of the Lord: to what end is it for you? the day of the Lord is darkness, and not light.
18Anunae BOEIPA kah khohnin aka ngaidam rhoek aih. BOEIPA khohnin te nangmih ham metla a om eh. Te tah hmaisuep la om tih vangnah om pawt lah ko.
19As if a man should flee from the face of a lion, and a bear should meet him: or enter into the house, and lean with his hand upon the wall, and a serpent should bite him.
19Hlang te sathueng mikhmuh lamloh rhaelrham sitoe cakhaw anih te vom loh a cuuk thil. Im a pha tih pangbueng dongah a kut a tloeng dae anih te rhul loh a tuk.
20Shall not the day of the Lord be darkness, and not light: and obscurity, and no brightness in it?
20BOEIPA kah khohnin tah a hmuep moenih a? Vangnah om pawt tih a hmueprhut dongah a aa om pawh.
21I hate, and have rejected your festivities: and I will not receive the odour of your assemblies.
21Na khotue te ka hmuhuet tih ka kohnue coeng dongah na pahong te ka him moenih.
22And if you offer me holocausts, and your gifts, I will not receive them: neither will I regard the vows of your fat beasts.
22Kai taengla hmueihhlutnah nang khuen uh mai sitoe cakhaw nangmih kah khocang te ka doe mahpawh. Nangmih kah rhoepnah puetsuet khaw ka paelki moenih.
23Take away from me the tumult of thy songs: and I will not hear the canticles of thy harp.
23Kai taeng lamloh khoe uh laeh. Na laa rhoi neh na thangpa oldi khaw ka hnatun moenih.
24But judgment shall be revealed as water, and justice as a mighty torrent.
24Tedae tiktamnah he tui bangla hol uh saeh lamtah duengnah soklong bangla tangkuek saeh.
25Did you offer victims and sacrifices to me in the desert for forty years, O house of Israel?
25Israel imkhui aw, khosoek kah kum sawmli khuiah kai taengla hmueih neh khocang nang khuen uh a?
26But you carried a tabernacle for your Moloch, and the image of your idols, the star of your god, which you made to yourselves.
26Na manghai Sakkuth neh Khiun te na muei la na ludoeng uh. Na pathen aisi te namamih ham na saii uh.
27And I will cause you to go into captivity beyond Damascus, saith the Lord, the God of hosts is his name.
27Te dongah nangmih te Damasku kah a voel duela kam poelyoe ni tila a ming neh caempuei Pathen BOEIPA loh a thui.
