Micah 2
1 Woe to those who devise iniquity and plot evil on their beds! At morning’s light they accomplish it because the power is in their hands.
Tsoka kwa amene amakonzekera chiwembu, kwa amene amakonzekera kuchita zoyipa usiku pa mabedi awo! Kukacha mmawa amakachitadi chifukwa ali ndi mphamvu zochitira zimenezo.
2 They covet fields and seize them; they take away houses. They deprive a man of his home, a fellow man of his inheritance.
Amasirira minda ndi kuyilanda, amasirira nyumba ndi kuzilanda. Amatenga nyumba ya munthu mwachinyengo, munthu mnzawo kumulanda cholowa chake.
3 Therefore this is what the LORD says: “I am planning against this nation a disaster from which you cannot free your necks. Then you will not walk so proudly, for it will be a time of calamity.
Nʼchifukwa chake Yehova akuti, “Ine ndikukonzekera kubweretsa tsoka pa anthu awa, tsoka limene simudzatha kudzipulumutsa nokha. Inu simudzayendanso monyada, pakuti idzakhala nthawi ya masautso.
4 In that day they will take up a proverb against you and taunt you with this bitter lamentation: ‘We are utterly ruined! He has changed the portion of my people. How He has removed it from me! He has allotted our fields to traitors.’”
Tsiku limenelo anthu adzakuchitani chipongwe; adzakunyogodolani ndi nyimbo iyi yamaliro: ‘Tawonongeka kotheratu; dziko la anthu anga lagawidwa. Iye wandilanda! Wapereka minda yathu kwa anthu otiwukira.’”
5 Therefore, you will have no one in the assembly of the LORD to divide the land by lot.
Nʼchifukwa chake simudzakhala ndi munthu mu msonkhano wa Yehova kuti agawe dziko pochita maere.
6 “Do not preach,” they preach. “Do not preach these things; disgrace will not overtake us.”
Aneneri awo amanena kuti, “Usanenere! Usanenere ndi pangʼono pomwe zimenezi; ife sitidzachititsidwa manyazi.”
7 Should it be said, O house of Jacob, “Is the Spirit of the LORD impatient? Are these the things He does?” Do not My words bring good to him who walks uprightly?
Inu nyumba ya Yakobo, monga zimenezi ndi zoyenera kuzinena: “Kodi Mzimu wa Yehova wakwiya? Kodi Iye amachita zinthu zotere?” “Kodi mawu ake sabweretsa zabwino kwa amene amayenda molungama?
8 But of late My people have risen up like an enemy: You strip off the splendid robe from unsuspecting passersby like men returning from battle.
Posachedwapa anthu anga andiwukira ngati mdani. Mumawavula mkanjo wamtengowapatali anthu amene amadutsa mosaopa kanthu, monga anthu amene akubwera ku nkhondo.
9 You drive the women of My people from their pleasant homes. You take away My blessing from their children forever.
Mumatulutsa akazi a anthu anga mʼnyumba zawo zabwino. Mumalanda ana awo madalitso anga kosatha.
10 Arise and depart, for this is not your place of rest, because its defilement brings destruction— a grievous destruction!
Nyamukani, chokani! Pakuti ano si malo anu opumulirapo, chifukwa ayipitsidwa, awonongedwa, sangatheke kuwakonzanso.
11 If a man of wind were to come and say falsely, “I will preach to you of wine and strong drink,” he would be just the preacher for this people!
Ngati munthu wabodza ndi wachinyengo abwera nʼkunena kuti, ‘Ine ndidzanenera ndipo mudzakhala ndi vinyo ndi mowa wambiri, woteroyo adzakhala mneneri amene anthu awa angamukonde!’
12 I will surely gather all of you, O Jacob; I will collect the remnant of Israel. I will bring them together like sheep in a pen, like a flock in the midst of its pasture— a noisy throng.
“Inu banja la Yakobo, ndidzakusonkhanitsani nonse; ndidzawasonkhanitsa pamodzi otsala a ku Israeli. Ndidzawabweretsa pamodzi ngati nkhosa mʼkhola, ngati ziweto pa msipu wake; malowo adzadzaza ndi chinamtindi cha anthu.
13 One who breaks open the way will go up before them; they will break through the gate, and go out by it. Their King will pass through before them, the LORD as their leader.
Amene adzawapulumutse adzayenda patsogolo pawo; iwo adzathyola chipata ndipo adzatuluka. Mfumu yawo idzawatsogolera, Yehova adzakhala patsogolo pawo.”
