Micah 7 (CTH) · Opened

1Kai teh ka yawthoe. Kompawi tue nah khi e thaibunglung paw hoi rakhun e misur paw kacawie patetlah ka o. Ca hane kawi misur paw awm hoeh. Thaibunglung paw aluepaw hah ka doun toe.Woe is me! For I am like one gathering summer fruit at the gleaning of the vineyard; there is no cluster to eat, no early fig that I crave.

2Cathutlae naw kahmakata awh toe. Tami kalan buet touh hai awm hoeh. Tami pueng teh tami thei hanlah a pawp awh toe. Buet touh hoi buet touh tangkam dawk a ka man awh.The godly man has perished from the earth; there is no one upright among men. They all lie in wait for blood; they hunt one another with a net.

3Yonnae sak hanelah coungkacoe lah ao awh. Bawinaw ni poehno a hei awh. Lawkcengkungnaw ni tadawngnae a ca awh. Ayâ hlak kalen e tami ni teh hounlounnae a kamnue sak. Hottelah, a kâsanu nahanlah a sak awh.Both hands are skilled at evil; the prince and the judge demand a bribe. When the powerful utters his evil desire, they all conspire together.

4Tami kahawipoung hai pâkhingkung patetlah doeh ao. Tami kalan poung hai pâkhing takha hlak a ru. Nang ramvengnaw ni kâhruetcuet poenae hnin, nang rektapnae na poenae hnin lah a pha, hothateh, lungpuennae lah ao han.The best of them is like a brier; the most upright is sharper than a hedge of thorns. The day for your watchmen has come, the day of your visitation. Now is the time of their confusion.

5Na imri yuem hanh. Lam ka patue e hah kâuep hanh. Na lungtabue dawk ka ip e na yu hah yuem hanh. Na kâko takhang hah cakuep lawih.Do not rely on a friend; do not trust in a companion. Seal the doors of your mouth from her who lies in your arms.

6Bangkongtetpawiteh, ca ni a na pa e min a mathoe sak. Canu ni a manu thoseh, a langa ni a mani thoseh, a taran han. Ma e imthungkhunaw teh mae taran lah ao han.For a son dishonors his father, a daughter rises against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law. A man’s enemies are the members of his own household.

7Hatei, kai teh BAWIPA ka ngaihawi han. Ka rungngangnae Cathut hah ka kângue han. Cathut ni ka lawk a thai han.But as for me, I will look to the LORD; I will wait for the God of my salvation. My God will hear me.

8Ka taran nang, kaie lathueng vah kâoupnae, lunghawinae tawn hanh. Ka rawm nakunghai bout kathâw han. A hmonae koe ka tahung nakunghai, Cathut teh kaie angnae lah ao han.Do not gloat over me, my enemy! Though I have fallen, I will arise; though I sit in darkness, the LORD will be my light.

9Kai teh BAWIPA koe ka yon dawkvah, na racing hoehnahlan totouh a lungkhueknae ka khang han. Kai hah angnae koe na rasa vaiteh, lannae hmuen na poe e hah ka hmu han.Because I have sinned against Him, I must endure the rage of the LORD, until He argues my case and executes justice for me. He will bring me into the light; I will see His righteousness.

10Na Cathut nâne ao telah na ka pacei e ka taran ni hote hno a hmu torei teh yeirai a po han. Ahni koe ka lung a roum han. Ahni teh lam dawk e tangdong coungroe e patetlah ao han.Then my enemy will see and will be covered with shame—she who said to me, “Where is the LORD your God?” My eyes will see her; at that time she will be trampled like mud in the streets.

11Nange khopui rapan saknae tueng a pha han. Kâtawnnae apout han.The day for rebuilding your walls will come—the day for extending your boundary.

12Hatnae tueng dawk, Assiria ram hoi Izip khopui hai thoseh, Izip ram hoi tuipui rahak hai thoseh, tuipui tengpam, monnaw tangkuem koehoi hai thoseh, nang koevah a tho awh han.On that day they will come to you from Assyria and the cities of Egypt, even from Egypt to the Euphrates, from sea to sea and mountain to mountain.

13Hottelah, ao hoehnahlan khoca ramca naw e yonnae kecu dawk ram teh tami kingkadi lah ao han.Then the earth will become desolate because of its inhabitants, as the fruit of their deeds.

14BAWIPA e tami tie a huiko awm laipalah Karmel mon dawk kaawm e râw tuhu hah tukhoumnae sonron hoi khoum la, ayan e patetlah Bashan ram hoi Gilead ram dawk pawngpa sak haw.Shepherd with Your staff Your people, the flock of Your inheritance. They live alone in a woodland, surrounded by pastures. Let them graze in Bashan and Gilead, as in the days of old.

15Izip ram hoi na tâconae hnin dawk na hmu e patetlah kângairu hnonaw bout na patue han.As in the days when you came out of Egypt, I will show My wonders.

16Miphunnaw ni ka taminaw dawk kaawm e bahu a hmu awh teh, lungpuen laihoi amamae pahni hah kut hoi a tabuem awh vaiteh a hnâtâdeng awh han.Nations will see and be ashamed, deprived of all their might. They will put their hands over their mouths, and their ears will become deaf.

17Tahrun patetlah vaiphu a palem teh, tangraet patetlah a khu dawk hoi pâyaw laihoi a tâco awh han. Maimae BAWIPA Cathut hai thoseh, nang hai thoseh a taki awh han.They will lick the dust like a snake, like reptiles slithering on the ground. They will come trembling from their strongholds in the presence of the LORD our God; they will tremble in fear of You.

18Yon dawk hoi hlout sak e, kacawie râw, taminaw e sakpayon e hah ka ngaithoum e, pahrennae hoi ka kawi ni teh lung pou ka khuek hoeh e Cathut patetlah apimaw kaawm.Who is a God like You, who pardons iniquity and passes over the transgression of the remnant of His inheritance—who does not retain His anger forever, because He delights in loving devotion?

19BAWIPA ni maimanaw hah bout na pahren teh, maimae yonnae pueng hah rep a coungroe han. Maimae yonnae pueng kadung poung e tuipui dawk koung a tâkhawng han.He will again have compassion on us; He will vanquish our iniquities. You will cast out all our sins into the depths of the sea.

20Ayan hoi mintoenaw koe thoe na bo e patetlah, Jakop koe lawkkatanag, Abraham koe pahren lungmanae teh na poe han.You will show faithfulness to Jacob and loving devotion to Abraham, as You swore to our fathers from the days of old.
