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.
Woe [to] those devising iniquity, And working evil on their beds, In the light of the morning they do it, For their hand is — to God.
2 Gigombo puothe gi udi mag ji kendo gikawogi githuon. Giwuondo ngʼato ma gimaa dalane kendo kata anywolagi bende gimayo girkeni magi.
And they have desired fields, And they have taken violently, And houses, and they have taken away, And have oppressed a man and his house, Even a 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 said Jehovah: Lo, I am devising against this family evil, From which ye do not remove your necks, Nor walk loftily, for a time of evil it [is].
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 doth [one] take up for you a simile, And he hath wailed a wailing of woe, He hath said, We have been utterly spoiled, The portion of my people He doth change, How doth He move toward me! To the backslider our fields He apportioneth.
5 Kuom mano ok unubed gi ngʼato kata achiel e chokruok mar Jehova Nyasaye ma nogo ombulu kipogo lowo.
Therefore, thou hast no caster of a line by lot In the assembly of Jehovah.
6 Jonabi mag-gi wacho niya, “Kik ukor wach. Kik ukor wach kuom gigi; wichkuot ok nomakwa.”
Ye do not prophesy — they do prophesy, They do not prophesy to these, It doth not remove shame.
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?
Doth the house of Jacob say, 'Hath the Spirit of Jehovah been shortened? Are these His doings?' Do not My words benefit the people that is walking uprightly?
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.
And yesterday My people for an enemy doth raise himself up, From the outer garment the honourable ornament ye strip off, From the confident passers by, Ye who are turning back from war.
9 Umonjo monde joga kendo uriembogi e miechgi mabeyo. Umayogi chuth gweth ma asegwedhogo nyithindgi.
The women of My people ye cast out from its delightful house, From its sucklings ye take away My honour to the age.
10 Auru malo, dhiuru kucha! Nikech kae ok en kar yweyo maru, nimar odwanyore, kendo okethore ma ok nyal kony.
Rise and go, for this [is] not the rest, Because of uncleanness it doth corrupt, And corruption is powerful.
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 one is going [with] the wind, And [with] falsehood hath lied: 'I prophesy to thee of wine, and of strong drink,' He hath been the prophet of 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 do surely gather thee, O Jacob, all of thee, I surely bring together the remnant of Israel, Together I do set it as the flock of Bozrah, As a drove in the midst of its pasture, It maketh a noise because of man.
13 Jal mayawo yore modinore nodhi nyimgi kotelonegi. Ginimuom rangach mi gitony. Ruodhgi nokwong okadh kotelonegi. Jehova Nyasaye notelnegi.”
Gone up hath the breaker before them, They have broken through, Yea, they pass through the gate, Yea, they go out through it, And pass on doth their king before them, And Jehovah at their head!
