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.
The word of Jehovah that came to Micah the Morasthite in the days of Jotham, Ahaz, [and] Hezekiah, kings of Judah, which 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.
Hear, ye peoples, all of you; hearken, O earth, and all that is therein: and let the Lord Jehovah be witness against you, the Lord from his holy temple!
3 Neuru! Jehova Nyasaye biro kowuok e kar dakne; olor piny kendo onyono kuonde ma otingʼore mag piny.
For behold, Jehovah cometh forth out of his place, and will come down, and tread upon 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.
And the mountains shall be melted under him, and the valleys shall be cleft, as wax before the fire, as waters poured down a steep place.
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?
For the transgression of Jacob is all this, and for the sins of the house of Israel. Whence is the transgression of Jacob? is it not [from] Samaria? And whence are the high places of Judah? are they not [from] 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 will I make Samaria as a heap of the field, as plantings of a vineyard; and I will pour down the stones thereof into the valley, and I will lay bare the foundations thereof.
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.”
And all her graven images shall be beaten to pieces, and all her harlot-gifts shall be burned with fire, and all her idols will I make a desolation; for of the hire of a harlot hath she gathered [them], and to a harlot's hire shall they return.
8 Kuom mano, abiro ywak kendo dengo; abiro wuotho duk kod tienda nono. Anaywag ka ondiek manie thim kendo nadengi ka tula.
For this will I lament, and I will howl; I will go stripped and naked: I will make a wailing like the jackals, and mourning like the ostriches.
9 Nikech adhondene ok thiedhre; kata mana Juda adhondenego osemako. Masira osechopo nyaka e dhoranga joga, nyaka ei Jerusalem.
For her wounds are incurable; for it is come even unto Judah, it reacheth unto the gate of my people, even to Jerusalem.
10 Kik unyis jo-Gath wachni bende kik uywagi kata matin. E dala Beth Ofra ngʼielreuru e buru.
Tell it not in Gath, weep not at all; at Beth-le-aphrah roll thyself 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.
Pass away, inhabitress of Shaphir, in nakedness [and] shame. The inhabitress of Zaanan is not come forth for the lamentation of Beth-ezel: he will take from you its shelter.
12 Joma odak Maroth chunygi chandore ka nigi rem mapek ka girito kony, nikech masira osebiro koa kuom Jehova Nyasaye mochopo nyaka dhoranga Jerusalem.
For the inhabitress of Maroth waited anxiously for good; but evil hath come down from Jehovah unto 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.
Bind the chariot to the swift steed, O inhabitress of Lachish: she was the beginning of sin to the daughter of Zion; for in thee were found the transgressions of Israel.
14 Emomiyo gouru oriti ne jo-Meresheth Gath, ok nochak ochungʼ kendo. Dala maduongʼ mar Akzib osewuondo ruodhi mag Israel.
Therefore shalt thou give parting-gifts to Moresheth-Gath: the houses of Achzib shall be a lie 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 yet bring unto thee an heir, O inhabitress of Mareshah; the glory of Israel shall come even unto 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.
Make thee bald, and poll thee for the children of thy delights; enlarge thy baldness as the eagle, for they are gone into captivity from thee.
