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.

¹Woe to those who devise iniquity and work evil on their beds! When the morning is light, they practice it, because it is in the power of their hand.

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.

²They 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.

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.

³Therefore thus says Yahweh: “Behold, I am planning against these people a disaster, from which you will not remove your necks, neither will you walk haughtily; for it is an evil time.

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.

⁴In that day they will take up a parable against you, and lament with a doleful lamentation, saying, ‘We are utterly ruined! My people’s possession is divided up. Indeed he takes it from me and assigns our fields to traitors!’”

⁵Huaijiakin TOUPA mite kikhomte lak ah aisana khaua teh sakmi kuamah na neikei ding.

⁶Thu gen kei un, chiin a gen jel ua, Hiai mite kiangah thu a gen kei ding uh: gen siatna a dai kei ding.

⁶“Don’t prophesy!” They prophesy. “Don’t prophesy about these things. Disgrace won’t overtake us.”

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?

⁷Shall it be said, O house of Jacob: “Is the Spirit of Yahweh angry? Are these his doings? Don’t my words do good to him who walks blamelessly?”

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.

⁸But lately my people have risen up as an enemy. You strip the robe and clothing from those who pass by without a care, returning from battle.

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.

⁹You drive the women of my people out from their pleasant houses; from their young children you take away my blessing forever.

¹⁰Thou unla, pai mang un; hiai lah khawlna munh ding ahi ngal keia; siatna thupi tak tana hihse sek buahna a om jiakin.

¹⁰Arise, and depart! For this is not your resting place, because of uncleanness that destroys, even with a grievous destruction.

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.

¹¹If a man walking in a spirit of falsehood lies: “I will prophesy to you of wine and of strong drink”; he would be the prophet of this people.

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.

¹²I will surely assemble, Jacob, all of you; 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 will swarm with people.

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.

¹³He who breaks open the way goes up before them. They break through the gate, and go out. And their king passes on before them, with Yahweh at their head.
