Micah 1
1 The word of Jehovah that came to Micah the Morashtite in the days of Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah, which he saw concerning Samaria and Jerusalem.
Esiae nye gbedeasi si va na Mika, Moresitɔ la, tso Yehowa gbɔ. Gbedeasia va nɛ le Yada fiawo, Yotam, Ahaz kple Hezekia ŋɔli. Gbedeasia ku ɖe Samaria kple Yerusalem ŋuti, eye wòva nɛ le ŋutega me.
2 Hear, ye peoples, all of you. Hearken, O earth, and all who are in it, and let the Lord Jehovah be witness against you, the Lord from his holy temple.
Mi dukɔwo katã miɖo to nya sia, wò anyigba kple edzinɔlawo katã mise ɖa; Aƒetɔ Yehowa le eƒe gbedoxɔ kɔkɔe me eye wòtsɔ nya ɖe mia ŋuti!
3 For, behold, Jehovah comes forth out of his place, and will come down, and tread upon the high places of the earth.
Kpɔ ɖa Yehowa gbɔna tso eƒe nɔƒe! Eɖi tso dzi eye wòzɔ to kɔkɔƒewo le anyigba dzi.
4 And the mountains shall be melted under him, and the valleys shall be split, as wax before the fire, as waters that are poured down a steep place.
Towo lolõ ɖe eƒe afɔ te, eye balimewo ma le eŋgɔ abe ale si bosomi lolõnae le dzo gbɔ ene; abe ale si tsi sina ne wòle aga ɖim ene.
5 All this is for the transgression of Jacob, and for the sins of the house of Israel. What is the transgression of Jacob? Is it not Samaria? And what are the high places of Judah? Are they not Jerusalem?
Nu siawo katã le dzɔdzɔm ɖe Yakob ƒe aglãdzedze ta, ele dzɔdzɔm ɖe Israel ƒe aƒe ƒe nu vɔ̃wo ta. Nu kae nye Yakob ƒe aglãdzedzea? Ɖe menye Samariae oa? Nu kae nye Yuda ƒe vɔsaƒewo? Ɖe menye Yerusalem ye oa?
6 Therefore I will make Samaria as a heap of the field, and as places for planting vineyards. And I will pour down the stones of it into the valley, and I will uncover the foundations of it.
“Le esiawo ta la, mana Samaria nazu aƒedo, ale be woate ŋu ade waingble ɖe edzi gɔ̃ hã. Malɔ eƒe kpe gbagbãwo akɔ ɖe balime eye eƒe xɔwo ƒe agunu adze.
7 And all her graven images shall be beaten to pieces. And all her wages shall be burned with fire, and I will lay desolate all her idols. For she has gathered them from the wages of a harlot, and to the wage of a harlot they shall return.
Woagbã eƒe legbawo gudugudu eye woatɔ dzo nunana siwo woli kɔe ɖe eƒe trɔ̃xɔwo me. Ale matɔ dzo eƒe legbawo katã. Elabena gboloho wotsɔ ƒo wo nu ƒui eye gboloho woagazu.”
8 For this I will lament and wail. I will go stripped and naked. I will make a wailing like the jackals, and a lamentation like the ostriches.
Le esia ta mafa avi ado ɣli; maɖe amama azɔ afɔ ƒuƒlu. Maxlɔ̃ abe amegaxi ene, eye mafa konyi abe adzexe ene,
9 For her wounds are incurable. For it has come even to Judah. it reaches to the gate of my people, even to Jerusalem.
elabena Yuda ka abi makumaku. Abi la keke va ɖo nye dukɔ ƒe agbowo nu ke, va ɖo Yerusalem ŋutɔ gɔ̃ hã.
10 Tell it not in Gath. Weep not at all. I have rolled myself in the dust at Beth-le-aphrah.
Migaɖe gbeƒãe alo afa avi le Gat o. Ke mibliba mia ɖokuiwo ɖe ke me le Bet Ofra.
11 Pass away, O inhabitant of Shaphir, in nakedness and shame. The inhabitant of Zaanan has not come forth. The wailing of Beth-ezel shall take from you the stay of it.
Mi Safirtɔwo midzo le ŋukpe kple amamanɔnɔ me; mi Zaanantɔwo miadzo o. Bet Ezel le konyi fam eya ta sitsoƒe aɖeke mele esi na mi o.
12 For the inhabitant of Maroth waits anxiously for good, because evil has come down from Jehovah to the gate of Jerusalem.
Marotɔwo le mɔ kpɔm vevie be ŋu nyui aɖe ava ke, gake vevesese koe le wo lalam, elabena gbegblẽ tso Yehowa gbɔ va keke Yerusalem ƒe agbo nu.
13 Bind the chariot to the swift steed, O inhabitant of Lachish. She was the beginning of sin to the daughter of Zion, for the transgressions of Israel were found in thee.
Mi Lakistɔwo mitsi sɔwo ɖe miaƒe tasiaɖamwo ŋu. Wòe nye Zion nyɔnuvi ƒe nu vɔ̃ ƒe gɔmedzeƒe elabena wokpɔ Israel ƒe nu vɔ̃wo le mewò.
14 Therefore thou shall give a parting gift to Moresheth-gath. The houses of Achzib shall be a deceitful thing to the kings of Israel.
Eya ta miaklã ɖa tso Moreset Gat gbɔ. Akzib ƒe aƒe aflu Israel fiawo.
15 I will yet bring to thee, O inhabitant of Mareshah, him who shall possess thee. The glory of Israel shall come even to Adullam.
Mi ame siwo le Maresa, makplɔ aʋakɔ aƒu mi, woaɖu mia dzi, ale Israel ƒe ŋutikɔkɔe ava Adulam.
16 Make thee bald, and cut off thy hair for the sons of thy delight. Enlarge thy baldness as the vulture, for they have gone into captivity from thee.
Lũ ta kolikoli nàfa konyi elabena wokplɔ vi siwo gbɔ mèlɔ̃a nu le o la dzoe. Lũ ta wòanɔ abe akaga tɔ ene, elabena woakplɔ viwòwo ayi aboyo mee.
