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.
Alas for them who devise iniquity and work wickedness upon their beds, —in the light of the morning, they will execute it, for it is in the power of their hand.
2 Gigombo puothe gi udi mag ji kendo gikawogi githuon. Giwuondo ngʼato ma gimaa dalane kendo kata anywolagi bende gimayo girkeni magi.
Thus do they covet fields and seize them, and houses and take them away, —and so they oppress the master and his household, the man and his 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.
Therefore, —Thus, saith Yahweh, Behold me! devising, against this family, a calamity, —from which ye shall not remove your neck, neither shall ye walk loftily, for, a time of calamity, shall it be.
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.’”
In that day, shall one take up against you a by-word, and lament a lamentable lamentation, saying—we are made, utterly desolate, the portion of my people, he passeth to others, —How doth he set me aside! To an apostate, our fields, doth he apportion.
5 Kuom mano ok unubed gi ngʼato kata achiel e chokruok mar Jehova Nyasaye ma nogo ombulu kipogo lowo.
Therefore, shalt thou have none to throw a measuring-line by lot, —in the convocation of Yahweh.
6 Jonabi mag-gi wacho niya, “Kik ukor wach. Kik ukor wach kuom gigi; wichkuot ok nomakwa.”
Do not sputter—So they sputter! They must not sputter as to these things, Must he not put away reproaches?
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?
O thou who art said to be the house of Jacob, Is the spirit of Yahweh, impatient? Or are, these, his doings? Are not, his words, pleasant to him who is upright in his walk?
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.
But, against my people, as an enemy, he setteth himself, from off the robe, they tear away, the cloak, —from such as are passing by with confidence, as men averse from war.
9 Umonjo monde joga kendo uriembogi e miechgi mabeyo. Umayogi chuth gweth ma asegwedhogo nyithindgi.
The wives of my people, ye do even drive out, each from the house of her darlings, —from over her children, ye do take away mine ornament, as long as life shall last.
10 Auru malo, dhiuru kucha! Nikech kae ok en kar yweyo maru, nimar odwanyore, kendo okethore ma ok nyal kony.
Arise ye and depart, for, this, is not the place of rest, —Because it is defiled, it shall make desolate with a desolation that is ruthless.
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 there be a man, who goeth after wind, and, falsehood, hath woven, [saying] —I will discourse to thee, concerning wine and strong drink, then shall he become a fountain of discourse unto this 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, surely assemble, O Jacob, all of thee, I will, surely gather, the remnant of Israel, at once, will I make them like sheep in distress, —Like a flock in the midst of its pasture, shall they hum with men,
13 Jal mayawo yore modinore nodhi nyimgi kotelonegi. Ginimuom rangach mi gitony. Ruodhgi nokwong okadh kotelonegi. Jehova Nyasaye notelnegi.”
One making a breach, hath gone up, before them, they have broken in, and passed through, and, by the gate, have departed, —and their king, hath passed through, before them, with, Yahweh, at their head!
