Mika 2
1 Mano kaka nobed malit ne joma chano timo richo, ka giriere e kitendinigi! Gokinyi ka chiengʼ wuok to gichopo chenrogi nikech gin gi teko mar timo kamano.
How disastrous it will be for those who devise evil plans as they lie awake at night. They get up in the morning to carry them out, because they have the power to do just that.
2 Gigombo puothe gi udi mag ji kendo gikawogi githuon. Giwuondo ngʼato ma gimaa dalane kendo kata anywolagi bende gimayo girkeni magi.
They seize any fields they want. They take any houses they want. They cheat people of their houses, and steal their inheritance.
3 Emomiyo Jehova Nyasaye wacho kama: “Achano kelo chandruok ne jogi maonge ngʼama notony. Ok unuchak uwuothi gi ngʼayi nikech enobed kinde mar masira.
So this is what the Lord says. Watch out! I am planning to bring disaster on such families. They won't be able to escape. You will no longer walk around arrogantly, for this will be a time of disaster.
4 E ndalono ji nogou ngero; kendo ginichuognu wer malit mar kuyo ni: ‘Osetiekwa chuth, mwanduwa osepog jomoko nono. Eri omayowagi! Opogo puothewa ne joma ndhogowa.’”
On that day they will make up a saying to taunt you. With a mocking lament they will say, “We are totally ruined! Our possessions are being sold off. They've taken everything away, and given our fields to your conquerors.”
5 Kuom mano ok unubed gi ngʼato kata achiel e chokruok mar Jehova Nyasaye ma nogo ombulu kipogo lowo.
Consequently at that time there will be none of you in the assembly of the Lord responsible for the division of the land.
6 Jonabi mag-gi wacho niya, “Kik ukor wach. Kik ukor wach kuom gigi; wichkuot ok nomakwa.”
But you preach at me, saying, “Don't preach such things. Don't prophesy like this. Such a humiliation won't happen to us!”
7 Yaye od Jakobo, inyalo wacho niya: “Bende Roho mar Jehova Nyasaye dikechi? Bende dotim gik ma kamago?” “Donge wechena timo maber ne ngʼatno ma yorene oriere?
Should you talk like that, descendants of Jacob? You ask, “Can the Lord run out of patience? Is this what he does?” Are not my words good to those who do what is right? asks the Lord.
8 E ndalogi, joga oselokore wasik ji. Ulonyo oko lewni ma nengogi tek kuom joma kadho ka ok udewo, mana ka joma odwogo oa e lweny.
Lately my people have risen up against me like an enemy. You steal the coats off the backs of those passing by, men returning from war who expect to be safe in their homeland.
9 Umonjo monde joga kendo uriembogi e miechgi mabeyo. Umayogi chuth gweth ma asegwedhogo nyithindgi.
You drive the women of my people from their comfortable homes; you have robbed their children of my blessings forever.
10 Auru malo, dhiuru kucha! Nikech kae ok en kar yweyo maru, nimar odwanyore, kendo okethore ma ok nyal kony.
Get up! Leave! For this is not a place for you to stay. It is defiled and totally ruined.
11 Ka ja-miriambo ma jawuond obiro kawacho niya, ‘Abiro koronu wach mondo ubed gi divai gi kongʼo mangʼeny,’ to ngʼat makamano ema bedo janabi ma jogi ohero!
If a false prophet should come to you and lie, saying, “I'll preach to you about the virtues of wine and alcohol,” he would be the perfect prophet for your kind of people.
12 “Abiro chokou un duto ma ok orem, yaye joka Jakobo; abiro kelo jo-Israel modongʼ kaachiel ma ok orem. Anakelgi kaachiel ka rombe manie abila, kendo kaka jamni manie lek. Kanyo nopongʼ gi ji.
I will certainly gather all of you, descendants of Jacob, I will certainly bring back together those who are left, Israel. I will place them like sheep in the fold, like a flock in its pasture. The land will be filled with people celebrating.
13 Jal mayawo yore modinore nodhi nyimgi kotelonegi. Ginimuom rangach mi gitony. Ruodhgi nokwong okadh kotelonegi. Jehova Nyasaye notelnegi.”
The One who opens the way for them will lead them, breaking through the gate and going out. Their King will lead them; the Lord himself will be at their head.
