Mika 1
1 Wach Jehova Nyasaye mane obiro ne Mika ja-Moresheth e ndalo loch Jotham, Ahaz kod Hezekia Ruodhi mag Juda e fweny mane oneno kuom Samaria kod Jerusalem.
Here is the message that the Lord gave to Micah of Moresheth at the time when Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah were kings of Judah. This is what he saw concerning Samaria and Jerusalem.
2 Winjuru, yaye un ogendini duto. Chik iti yaye piny gi ji duto modakie iye, mondo Jehova Nyasaye mar oganda lweny obed janeno kuomu, mondo Ruoth Nyasaye otim kamano gie hekalu mare maler.
Listen, all the nations! Pay attention, everyone on earth! The Lord God testifies against you from the Lord's holy Temple.
3 Neuru! Jehova Nyasaye biro kowuok e kar dakne; olor piny kendo onyono kuonde ma otingʼore mag piny.
Look! The Lord is coming, leaving his place and coming down, and is walking on the high places of the earth.
4 Gode noleny e bwoye kendo holni nobarore kapogore koni gi koni, mana ka odok mobolie mach, kendo mana ka pi maburore koa ewi thur.
The mountains melt beneath him, the valleys burst apart, like wax in front of a fire, like water rushing down a slope. All this is happening because of the rebellion of the descendants of Jacob, the sins of the people of Israel.
5 Magi duto timore nikech bayo yo mar Jakobo, nikech richo mar dhood Israel. Bayo yo mar Jakobo to en angʼo? Donge en Samaria? Koso kama otingʼore mar Juda to kanye? Donge en Jerusalem?
What is the rebellion of the descendants of Jacob? Isn't it what is happening in Samaria? Where are the idolatrous high places of Judah? Aren't they right in Jerusalem?
6 “Kuom mano analok Samaria obed pith mar yugi, kama ipidhoe mzabibu. Abiro olo kite mag dalano nyaka e holo kendo abiro weyo mise mage nono li.
Therefore I will make Samaria a pile of rubble in a field, a place for planting vineyards. I will roll its stones down into the valley; I will lay bare its foundations.
7 Gige mopa molamo ibiro toyo matindo tindo; kendo mich mag hekalu mochiwo ibiro wangʼ gi mach; abiro ketho kido mage molos duto. Nikech michgo nochoko koa e chudo mar ochot, omiyo koro ibiro ti kodgi kaka chudo mar ochot.”
All their carved idols will be smashed to pieces. All that was earned by their temple prostitutes will be burned. All of their idols will be destroyed, for what she collected through the earnings of temple prostitutes will be taken away and used to pay other temple prostitutes.
8 Kuom mano, abiro ywak kendo dengo; abiro wuotho duk kod tienda nono. Anaywag ka ondiek manie thim kendo nadengi ka tula.
Because of this I will weep and wail, I will walk barefoot and naked, and will howl like jackals and mourn like owls.
9 Nikech adhondene ok thiedhre; kata mana Juda adhondenego osemako. Masira osechopo nyaka e dhoranga joga, nyaka ei Jerusalem.
Their wound cannot be healed, it has extended to Judah, and reached right to the gates of Jerusalem.
10 Kik unyis jo-Gath wachni bende kik uywagi kata matin. E dala Beth Ofra ngʼielreuru e buru.
Don't mention it in Gath; don't weep at all. People of Beth-le-aphrah, roll in the dust.
11 Un joma odak Shafir kadhuru ka un duge kod wichkuot. Jogo modak Zanaan ok nowuog oko. Beth Ezel ni e kuyo nikech gima orite osemaye.
Leave, people of Shaphir, naked and ashamed. People of Zanaan don't come out. People of Beth Ezel mourn, for you have lost your support.
12 Joma odak Maroth chunygi chandore ka nigi rem mapek ka girito kony, nikech masira osebiro koa kuom Jehova Nyasaye mochopo nyaka dhoranga Jerusalem.
The people of Maroth wait anxiously for relief, but disaster has come down from the Lord on the gate of Jerusalem.
13 Un joma odak Lakish tweuru fareseu e gecheu mag lweny. Un ema ne umiyo nyar Sayun odonjo e richo, nikech timbe jo-Israel maricho noa kuomu.
Harness the team of horses to the chariot, you people of Lachish, because the sins of the people of Jerusalem began with you, for the sins of Israel were first found in you.
14 Emomiyo gouru oriti ne jo-Meresheth Gath, ok nochak ochungʼ kendo. Dala maduongʼ mar Akzib osewuondo ruodhi mag Israel.
Send your goodbye gifts to Moresheth. The town of Achzib is a deception to the kings of Israel.
15 Un joma odak Maresha, abiro ketou e lwet wasiku mabiro loyou. Ruodh Israel biro pondo e rogo man Adulam.
I will bring a conqueror to attack you, people of Moresheth. The leaders of Israel will go to Adullam.
16 Lieluru wiyeu mapoth ka udengo nikech nyithindo muketo e chunyu ibiro mau miter e twech kaka wasumbini; keturu bondou mapoth mana ka achuth.
Shave your heads, for the children you love will be taken away; make yourselves as bald as a vulture, for they will be exiled far away from you.
