1And I said, Hear, I pray you, ye heads of Jacob, and rulers of the house of Israel: is it not for you to know justice?
1Aw nou Jakobte heutute leh Israel inko vaikhawmmite aw, Ngaikhia unla, ka honngen ahi, k a chi ahi: vaihawm dan na theih ding uh hilou hia?
2ye who hate the good, and love the evil; who pluck off their skin from off them, and their flesh from off their bones;
2Thil hoih na hua ua, thil hoih lou na deih ua, a vun uh na hawk sak ua, a guh ua kipanin sa na leu khia ua:
3who also eat the flesh of my people, and flay their skin from off them, and break their bones, and chop them in pieces, as for the pot, and as flesh within the caldron.
3Ka mite sa na nei lai ua; a vun uh na lip ua, a guh uh na hihtan sak ua: ahi, bela huan ding bangin na at nen ua, sa-uina bel sunga sa at nen bang maiin.
4Then shall they cry unto Jehovah, but he will not answer them; yea, he will hide his face from them at that time, according as they have wrought evil in their doings.
4Huai hun chiangin TOUPA a sam ding ua, himahleh amau a dawng kei ding: ahi, huai hun chiangin a thilhih ua a hih hoihloudan bang bang un, amau akipan a mai a sel ding.
5Thus saith Jehovah concerning the prophets that make my people to err; that bite with their teeth, and cry, Peace; and whoso putteth not into their mouths, they even prepare war against him:
5Ka mite hihkhialsakmi, hai a neih ua, Muanna chia kikoua, a kam ua bak loumi peuhmah do dia kisa hial mi jawlneite tungtang thu TOUPAN hichiin a chi:
6Therefore it shall be night unto you, that ye shall have no vision; and it shall be dark unto you, that ye shall not divine; and the sun shall go down upon the prophets, and the day shall be black over them.
6Huaijiakin kilakna na neih louhna ding un na kiangah jan a hongtung ding; ai na san theihlouhna ding un na kiang uah mialna a hongom dinga; jawlneite adingin niin mual a khum dinga, sun leng a mau tungah kho mial ahi ding.
7And the seers shall be put to shame, and the diviners confounded; yea, they shall all cover their lips; for there is no answer of God.
7Mutheimite a zum ding ua, aisansiamte a zahlak ding uh, ahi, a vek un a muk uh a hum ding uh: Pathian dawnna lah a om ngal kei a,
8But as for me, I am full of power by the Spirit of Jehovah, and of judgment, and of might, to declare unto Jacob his transgression, and to Israel his sin.
8Himahleh Jakobte kiangah a tatlekna uh theisak ding leh Israelte kiangah a khelhna uh theisak dingin TOUPA kha jiaka thilhihtheihna te, vaihawm na te, leh hatna tein ka dim petmah ahi.
9Hear this, I pray you, ye heads of the house of Jacob, and rulers of the house of Israel, that abhor justice, and pervert all equity.
9Nou Jakobte inkote heutte leh Israel inko vaihawmmi, vaihawmna kiha, dikna chiteng lumlet mite aw, hiai ngaikhiaunla, ka honngen ahi.
10They build up Zion with blood, and Jerusalem with iniquity.
10Zion sisanin a lam ua, Jerusalem ginatlounain.
11The heads thereof judge for reward, and the priests thereof teach for hire, and the prophets thereof divine for money: yet they lean upon Jehovah, and say, Is not Jehovah in the midst of us? no evil shall come upon us.
11Huaia heututen kipahman lamenin vai a hawm ua, huaia siamputen lawh lamenin a sinsak ua, huaia jawlneiten dangka lamenin ai a san uhi: huchiin leng, TOUPA a lak uah a om ka hia? thil hoih lou i tunguah a hongtung kei ding, chiin TOUPA tungah a kinga uhi.Huaijiakin Zion, noute jiakin, lou banga leileh ahi dinga, Jerusalem thil sia omkhawm ahi dinga, biakin omna tang dawi mun sang bang ahi ding.
12Therefore shall Zion for your sake be plowed as a field, and Jerusalem shall become heaps, and the mountain of the house as the high places of a forest.
12Huaijiakin Zion, noute jiakin, lou banga leileh ahi dinga, Jerusalem thil sia omkhawm ahi dinga, biakin omna tang dawi mun sang bang ahi ding.
