Mika 7
1 Mano kaka midhiero omaka malit! Chutho achalo ngʼat ma hulo e puoth mzabibu e ndalo oro. Onge olemb mzabibu mochokore ma dacham, ngʼope mokwongo chiek ma agombo bende onge.
Alas for me! for I am become as gatherings of summer fruit, as gleaning-grapes in harvest, there is no cluster to eat, the first ripe fruit, my soul, craved.
2 Joma oluoro Nyasaye bende osetieki morumo e piny; ja-ratiro onge kata mana achiel modongʼ. Ji duto pondo karito mondo ochwer remo, moro ka moro manyo nyawadgi mondo odwodi.
Perished is the man of lovingkindness out of the earth, and, upright among men, is there none, —they all, for bloodshed, lie in wait. Every man—for his brother, do they hunt as for one devoted to destruction.
3 Lweteni duto ariyo olony e timo richo. Jatelo dwaro mich githuon, jangʼad bura kawo asoya, jogi maroteke chuno ji gi timo gigegi magidwaro, giduto kaachiel giwinjore e wachni.
Of wickedness with both hands to make sure, the ruler, doth make demand—and the judge—for a recompense, —and, as for the great man, he, is putting into words the desire of his soul, So have they woven the net!
4 Joma nenore ni longʼo kuomgi; chalo gi kuth oriangʼ. Joma ikwano ni odimbore mogik eigi richo moloyo kuth chiedo. Odiechieng jorito mau osechopo, odiechiengʼ ma Nyasaye limoue. Ma e kinde ma ikeyoue.
The best of them, is as a sharp briar, and, the most upright, worse than a thorn hedge, The day of thy watchmen—of thy visitation, hath come, Now, shall be their confusion!
5 Kik igen kuom ngʼama odak e bathi kata osiepni kik iyiego. Wuo kitangʼ kata gi chiegi ma ugenorugo.
Do not trust in a friend, do not put confidence in an associate, —from her that lieth in thy bosom, keep thou the doors of thy mouth;
6 Nikech wuowi koro ochayo wuon mare, kendo nyako noked kod min mare; chi wuowi bende noked gi damare, wasik ngʼato nobed joode owuon.
For, the son, treateth as foolish, the father, and, the daughter, riseth up against, her mother, the daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law, —The foes of a man, are the men of his own house.
7 Anto amanyo Jehova Nyasaye gi wangʼa ka an kod geno, arito Nyasaye ma Jawarna; kendo Nyasacha biro winja.
But, I, for Yahweh, will watch, I will wait for the God of my salvation, —My God, will hear me.
8 In jasika kik inyiera kata obedoni asepodho to abiro chungʼ kendo! Kata obedo ni abet e mudho to Jehova Nyasaye biro doko lerna.
Do not rejoice, O mine enemy, against me, Though I fall, I shall rise again! Though I sit in darkness, Yahweh, is a light to me.
9 Nikech aseketho e nyim Jehova Nyasaye ayie tingʼo mirimbe, nyaka chop oket kwayona kare, mi oyud ni aonge ketho. Obiro kela e ler mi ane adierane.
The indignation of Yahweh, will I bear, for I have sinned against him, —until he take up my controversy, then will he do me justice, he will bring me forth to the light, I shall behold his righteousness.
10 Eka wasika none gima otimore mi ginipongʼ gi wichkuot, gin mane giwacho niya, “Ere Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachino?” Wangʼa none koselogi; kata mana sani ibiro nyon-gi piny, mana kaka chwodho inyono e yore manie dala.
So shall she who had been mine enemy fear, and shame, shall cover her, who used to say unto me—Where is Yahweh thy God? Mine own eyes, shall look upon her, Now, shall she become one to he trodden down, like the mire of the lanes.
11 Odiechiengʼ migeroe ohinga mare biro chopo, en odiechiengʼ manoyarie tongʼni.
On the day for building thy walls, —on that day, far away shall be thy boundary:
12 E odiechiengʼno ji nobi iri koa Asuria kod mier madongo mag Misri, koa chakre Misri nyaka Yufrate koa bath nam koni nyaka bath nam komachielo, kendo koa got koni nyaka got komachielo.
The very day, that, against thee, shall one come from Assyria, and [from] the cities of Egypt; yea from Egypt, even unto the River, and from sea to sea, and from mountain to mountain:
13 Piny biro dongʼ nono, nikech timbe maricho mag ji modak e iye.
Though the land become a desolation, because of them that dwell therein, —by reason of the fruit of their doings.
14 Kwa jogi gi ludh odunga mari, kweth mag girkeni magi, modak kendgi ei bungu, e dier puothe momewo. Wegi gichiem Bashan gi Gilead mana kaka ndalo machon.
Shepherd thou thy people with thy rod, the flock of thine inheritance, Dwell thou alone, a jungle in the midst of a fruitful field, —Let them feed in Bashan and in Gilead, as in the days of age-past times.
15 “Mana kaka ndalo mane ua Misri, abiro nyisogi timbena madongo miwuoro.”
As in the days of thy coming forth out of the land of Egypt, will I shew him wonders.
16 Ogendini biro nenogi mi wigi kuodi ka osemagi tekogi duto. Giniket lwetgi e dhogi kendo itgi biro dino.
Nations, shall see, that they may turn pale at all their valour, —they shall lay hand on mouth, their ears, shall be silent:
17 Gibiro nangʼo lowo ka thuol, ka le malak gi bund-igi e buru. Gibiro wuok ka gia e kuondegi mag pondo ka gitetni. Gibiro lokore gidok ir Jehova Nyasaye, ma Nyasachwa, ka giluor kendo un bende gibiro luorou.
They shall lick the dust like the serpent, Like the crawlers of the earth, shall they come quaking out of their fastnesses, —Towards Yahweh our God, shall they pay adoration, and shall fear because of thee.
18 En Nyasaye mane machalo kodi ma ngʼwono ne joge modongʼ, kendo weyonegi richogi? Iyi ok wangʼ nyaka chiengʼ, to imor mar kecho jogi.
Who is a GOD like unto thee, taking away the iniquity—and passing over the transgression—of the remnant of his inheritance? He hath not held fast, perpetually, his anger, for, one who delighteth in lovingkindness, is he!
19 Ibiro kechowa kendo, ibiro nyono richowa e tiendi, kendo idir kethruokwa duto e bwo nam.
He will again have compassion upon us, he will subdue our iniquities, —Thou wilt cast—into the depths of the sea—all their sins.
20 Ibiro bedo ja-adiera ne Jakobo kendo ibiro kecho Ibrahim, kaka ne isingori kikwongʼori ne kwerewa, e ndalo machon.
Thou wilt grant—the faithfulness to Jacob, the lovingkindness to Abraham, —which thou didst swear to our fathers, from the days of ancient time.
