Micah 2
JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
Asang Khongca Bible (Eastern Khumi Chin, 2019)
1Woe to them that devise iniquity and work evil upon their beds! When the morning is light, they execute it, because it is in the power of their hand.
1Angsonghaih iihkhun nui hoi kasae sak han pacaeng kaminawk loe khosak bing o! Nihcae loe to baktih hmuen sak thaihaih tawnh o pongah, akhawnbang khodai naah loe na tim o ih hmuen to na sak o.
2And they covet fields, and seize them; and houses, and take them away; thus they oppress a man and his house, even a man and his heritage.
2Minawk ih lawk hmuen to a khit o moe, tha patoh hoiah a lomh pae o; imnawk doeh a khit o moe, lak pae o ving. Kami hoi imthung takohnawk to pacaekthlaek o moe, kami hoi a tawnh ih hmuennawk to lak pae o.
3Therefore thus saith the LORD: Behold, against this family do I devise an evil, from which ye shall not remove your necks, neither shall ye walk upright; for it shall be an evil time.
3To pongah Angraeng mah, Khenah, hae imthung takoh nuiah raihaih phaksak hanah ka poek, to naah tahnong nang qoi thai mak ai; to atue loe kasae tue ah oh pongah, nam oek thai mak ai.
4In that day shall they take up a parable against you, and lament with a doleful lamentation, and say: 'We are utterly ruined; he changeth the portion of my people; how doth he remove it from me! Instead of restoring our fields, he divideth them.'
4To na niah kaminawk mah nang misa haih lok to thui o ueloe, paroeai palungsethaih hoiah na qah o haih tih: kam ro o boeh! Anih mah kai kaminawk ih taham to lak ving boeh: kawbang maw kai ih hmuen to a lak ving halat! Kaicae ih lawknawk doeh minawk han a paek ving boeh, tiah thui o tih.
5Therefore thou shalt have none that shall cast the line by lot in the congregation of the LORD.
5To pongah Angraeng ih kaminawk amkhuenghaih ahmuen ah, taham khethaih phoisa to vah moe, prae kawng thuih hanah kami maeto doeh na tawn o mak ai.
6'Preach ye not', they preach; 'They shall not preach of these things, that they shall not take shame.'
6Nihcae mah lok taphong kaminawk khaeah, Lok thui hmah lai ah: nihcae loe azat o ueloe, lok thui o mak ai boeh, tiah thuih o.
7Do I change, O house of Jacob? Is the spirit of the LORD straitened? Are these His doings? Do not My words do good to him that walketh uprightly?
7Aw Jakob imthung takohnawk, Angraeng loe poek amthueng maw? Anih mah hae baktih hmuennawk hae sak maw? Ka thuih ih loknawk baktiah loklam toeng pazui kami khaeah kahoih hmuen to sah ai maw?
8But of late My people is risen up as an enemy; with the garment ye strip also the mantle from them that pass by securely, so that they are as men returning from war.
8Kai ih kaminawk loe canghnii ah misa angthawk o; misatukhaih ahmuen hoi zithaih tawn ai ah kamlaem kaminawk ih kahoih khukbuennawk to a khring pae o.
9The women of My people ye cast out from their pleasant houses; from their young children ye take away My glory for ever.
9Kahoih angmacae ohhaih imthung hoiah kai ih kami nongpatanawk to na haek o; nihcae ih caa khae hoiah ka lensawkhaih to dungzan khoek to na lak pae o ving boeh.
10Arise ye, and depart; for this is not your resting-place; because of the uncleanness thereof, it shall destroy you, even with a sore destruction.
10Angthawk ah loe, caeh o lai ah, hae ahmuen loe nangcae anghakhaih ahmuen na ai ni; amhnong boeh pongah kanung parai amrohaih hoiah nam ro tih boeh.
11If a man walking in wind and falsehood do lie: 'I will preach unto thee of wine and of strong drink'; he shall even be the preacher of this people.
11Amsawnlok thui kami hoi aling thaih kami mah, Kai loe nangcae khaeah misurtui hoi mu kawng to ka thuih han, tiah na naa o tih; nangcae loe to baktih tahmaa to ni na koeh o.
12I will surely assemble, O Jacob, all of thee; I will surely gather the remnant of Israel; I will render them all as sheep in a fold; as a flock in the midst of their pasture; they shall make great noise by reason of the multitude of men.
12Aw Jakob, kai mah kang pakhueng o boih han; kanghmat Israel kaminawk to kam khuengsak han; Bozrah ih tuu baktiah nawnto ka pakhueng han, tuu khongkha thung ih tuunawk baktiah ka suek han, kami paroeai pop pongah hraw o parai tih.
13The breaker is gone up before them; they have broken forth and passed on, by the gate, and are gone out thereat; and their king is passed on before them, and the LORD at the head of them.
13Khongkha phrae kami loe nihcae hmaa ah caeh tih; khongkha to phraek o, khongkha thung hoiah tacawt o moe, a caeh o: nihcae ih siangpahrang loe nihcae hma ah caeh tih, Angraeng loe nihcae hma ah caeh tih.
