1Woe to them that devise iniquity and work evil upon their beds! when the morning is light, they practise it, because it is in the power of their hand.
1A lupna t ung ua thulimlouhna gelmite leh thil hoiholou ngaihtuah khemite a tung a gik hi: jingsanga khua a vakin huai lah a hih jel jiakin.
2And they covet fields, and seize them; and houses, and take them away: and they oppress a man and his house, even a man and his heritage.
2Mi loute a eng ua, a lak sak ua; inte a eng ua, lak leng a la mai jel uh: mi leh a inkote uh. mi leh a gou tan un a nuaisiah uhi.
3Therefore thus saith Jehovah: Behold, against this family do I devise an evil, from which ye shall not remove your necks, neither shall ye walk haughtily; for it is an evil time.
3Huaijiakin TOUPAN hichiin a chi: Ngai dih, hiai inko tungah thil hoih lou ka gel ahi, huai akipanin na ngawng uh na suan kei ding ua, kisathei tak in pai nawnsam kei ding uh; hun hoih lou ahi sin ngala.
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! to the rebellious he divideth our fields.
4Huai ni chiangin nou dem in gentehna thu a bawl ding ua, kah la kha siathuaia samin, Loh veka om i hi uh; ka mite tan a hihlamdanga; ka kiang akipan a kisuanta ahi; hel hatmite kiangah i lou uh a hawm jak ta hi, a chi ding uh.
5Therefore thou shalt have none that shall cast the line by lot in the assembly of Jehovah.
5Huaijiakin TOUPA mite kikhomte lak ah aisana khaua teh sakmi kuamah na neikei ding.
6Prophesy ye not, [thus] they prophesy. They shall not prophesy to these: reproaches shall not depart.
6Thu gen kei un, chiin a gen jel ua, Hiai mite kiangah thu a gen kei ding uh: gen siatna a dai kei ding.
7Shall it be said, O house of Jacob, Is the Spirit of Jehovah straitened? are these his doings? Do not my words do good to him that walketh uprightly?
7Aw Jakob inkote aw, TOUPA kha nehchihin a om ahia? hiaite a thilhih ahi hia, chih ding ahi maw? Dik taka om jel mi tungah ka thuten thil hoih a hih kei maw?
8But of late my people is risen up as an enemy: ye strip the robe from off the garment from them that pass by securely [as men] averse from war.
8Himahleh ka mite tu chinin melma bangin a hong ding khia uhi: kidou ut loua galmuang taka mi vialvakte lak akipanin a puansilh puannaktualte uh na suah sak ua.
9The women of my people ye cast out from their pleasant houses; from their young children ye take away my glory for ever.
9Ka mi numeite a in nuam tak ua kipanin na delh khia ua; a naupang noute ua kipanin ka thupina a la mang den uhi.
10Arise ye, and depart; for this is not your resting-place; because of uncleanness that destroyeth, even with a grievous destruction.
10Thou unla, pai mang un; hiai lah khawlna munh ding ahi ngal keia; siatna thupi tak tana hihse sek buahna a om jiakin.
11If a man walking in a spirit of falsehood do lie, [saying], I will prophesy unto thee of wine and of strong drink; he shall even be the prophet of this people.
11Mimal neilou leh diklou pia, Uain leh zu thu na kiang ah ka honhilh ding, chia min juau a gen leh hiai mite jawlnei ahi lel ding.
12I will surely assemble, O Jacob, all of thee; I will surely gather the remnant of Israel; I will put them together as the sheep of Bozrah, as a flock in the midst of their pasture; they shall make great noise by reason of [the multitude of] men.
12Aw Jakobte, na vek un ka sam khawm ngei dinga; Israel mi om sunte ka pi khawm ngei ding; Bozra kho belam bangin ka koihkhawm ding: gan hon a loupa mun ua om bang maiin, mipi a hih jiak un achiak vengvung ding uh.Phu pailetpa a ma uah a paia; a phu pai let ua, kongkhak phain a pai jel ua, huaiah a pai khia uhi: huan, a kumpipa uh a ma uah a paia, TOUPAN a ma uh a kai.
13The breaker is gone up before them: they have broken forth and passed on to the gate, and are gone out thereat; and their king is passed on before them, and Jehovah at the head of them.
13Phu pailetpa a ma uah a paia; a phu pai let ua, kongkhak phain a pai jel ua, huaiah a pai khia uhi: huan, a kumpipa uh a ma uah a paia, TOUPAN a ma uh a kai.
