Micah 7
1 Woe is me! For I am like one gathering summer fruit at the gleaning of the vineyard; there is no cluster to eat, no early fig that I crave.
Mayɛ mmɔbɔ! Mete sɛ aduaba tefoɔ a otwa berɛ akyi mekɔdi mpɛpɛ wɔ bobe turo mu; mennya bobe siaw na madi, borɔdɔma aba a ɛdi ɛkan a me kɔn dɔ nso, saa ara.
2 The godly man has perished from the earth; there is no one upright among men. They all lie in wait for blood; they hunt one another with a net.
Moapra Nyamefɛrefoɔ nyinaa afiri asase so. Anka ɔbaako a ɔtene mpo. Nnipa nyinaa tetɛ na wɔhwehwɛ sɛ wɔbɛka mogya agu; wɔsunsum wɔn ho wɔn ho mfidie.
3 Both hands are skilled at evil; the prince and the judge demand a bribe. When the powerful utters his evil desire, they all conspire together.
Nsa mmienu no nyinaa akokwa bɔneyɛ mu; sodifoɔ bisa akyɛdeɛ, ɔtemmufoɔ gye adanmudeɛ, wɔn a tumi wɔ wɔn nsa mu no yɛ deɛ wɔpɛ, wɔn nyinaa bɔ mu dwene amumuyɛ ho.
4 The best of them is like a brier; the most upright is sharper than a hedge of thorns. The day for your watchmen has come, the day of your visitation. Now is the time of their confusion.
Deɛ ɔyɛ wɔ wɔn mu no te sɛ hwerɛmo; deɛ ɔtene pa ara no, nkasɛɛ ban yɛ sene no. Wʼatɛmmuda no aso, ɛda a Onyankopɔn reba wo nsrahwɛ. Yei ne ɛberɛ a wɔn ani so bɛyɛ wɔn totɔtotɔ.
5 Do not rely on a friend; do not trust in a companion. Seal the doors of your mouth from her who lies in your arms.
Nnye obiara nni; mfa wo werɛ nhyɛ adamfo mu. Mpo ɔbaa a ɔda wo koko mu no to wo tɛkrɛma nnareka wɔ ne ho.
6 For a son dishonors his father, a daughter rises against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law. A man’s enemies are the members of his own household.
Ɔbabarima twiri nʼagya, Ɔbabaa sɔre tia ne maame, asebaa nso tia nʼase na onipa biara atamfoɔ bɛfiri ɔno ankasa ne fiefoɔ mu.
7 But as for me, I will look to the LORD; I will wait for the God of my salvation. My God will hear me.
Me deɛ, mede anidasoɔ hwɛ Awurade, Metwɛn me Nkwagyeɛ Onyankopɔn; na me Onyankopɔn bɛtie me.
8 Do not gloat over me, my enemy! Though I have fallen, I will arise; though I sit in darkness, the LORD will be my light.
Mma wʼani nnye, me ɔtamfoɔ! Mahwe ase deɛ, nanso mɛsɔre. Esum aduru me deɛ, nanso Awurade bɛyɛ me hann.
9 Because I have sinned against Him, I must endure the rage of the LORD, until He argues my case and executes justice for me. He will bring me into the light; I will see His righteousness.
Sɛ mayɛ bɔne atia no enti, Awurade abufuo bɛba me so, kɔsi sɛ ɔbɛka mʼasɛm ama me na wada me bembuo adi. Ɔde me bɛba hann no mu; na mɛhunu ne tenenee.
10 Then my enemy will see and will be covered with shame— she who said to me, “Where is the LORD your God?” My eyes will see her; at that time she will be trampled like mud in the streets.
Afei, mʼatamfoɔ bɛhunu na wɔn ani bɛwu, deɛ ɔsee me sɛ, “Ɛhe na Awurade wo Onyankopɔn no wɔ?” Mʼani bɛhunu nʼahweaseɛ; mpo seesei no, wɔbɛtiatia ne so te sɛ atɛkyɛ a ɛwɔ mmɔntene so.
11 The day for rebuilding your walls will come— the day for extending your boundary.
Ɛda a wɔbɛto wʼafasuo no bɛba, ɛda a wɔbɛtrɛ wʼahyeɛ mu.
12 On that day they will come to you from Assyria and the cities of Egypt, even from Egypt to the Euphrates, from sea to sea and mountain to mountain.
Ɛda no, nnipa bɛba wo nkyɛn firi Asiria ne Misraim nkuropɔn mu, mpo wɔbɛfiri Misraim akɔsi Eufrate afiri ɛpo akɔsi ɛpo ne bepɔ so akɔsi bepɔ so.
13 Then the earth will become desolate because of its inhabitants, as the fruit of their deeds.
Asase no bɛyɛ amanfo ɛsiane nnipa a wɔtete so ne wɔn nneyɛɛ enti.
14 Shepherd with Your staff Your people, the flock of Your inheritance. They live alone in a woodland, surrounded by pastures. Let them graze in Bashan and Gilead, as in the days of old.
Fa wo poma di wo nkurɔfoɔ anim, nnwan a wɔyɛ wʼagyapadeɛ no, a wɔn nko ara tete kwaeɛ mu wira frɔmfrɔm adidibea hɔ. Ma wɔn nnidi wɔ Basan ne Gilead sɛ tete nna no mu.
15 As in the days when you came out of Egypt, I will show My wonders.
“Mɛyɛ anwanwadeɛ akyerɛ wo, sɛdeɛ meyɛɛ nna a wofiri Misraim baeɛ mu no.”
16 Nations will see and be ashamed, deprived of all their might. They will put their hands over their mouths, and their ears will become deaf.
Aman bɛhunu wo na wɔn ani bɛwu, wɔn a tumi nyinaa afiri wɔn nsa no. Wɔde wɔn nsa bɛtuatua wɔn ano na wɔn aso bɛsisi.
17 They will lick the dust like a snake, like reptiles slithering on the ground. They will crawl from their holes in the presence of the LORD our God; they will tremble in fear of You.
Wɔbɛdi dɔteɛ sɛ awɔ, ne mmoa a wɔwea fam. Wɔde ahopopoɔ bɛfiri wɔn abɔn mu aba; wɔde suro bɛdane wɔn ho ama Awurade yɛn Onyankopɔn, na wɔbɛsuro wo.
18 Who is a God like You, who pardons iniquity and passes over the transgression of the remnant of His inheritance— who does not retain His anger forever, because He delights in loving devotion?
Hwan na ɔte sɛ wo, Onyankopɔn a wode bɔne kyɛ? Wo a wode agyanom asefoɔ nkaeɛ amumuyɛ kyɛ wɔn. Wʼabofuo nntena hɔ daa na mmom wʼani gye sɛ wobɛda mmɔborɔhunu adi.
19 He will again have compassion on us; He will vanquish our iniquities. You will cast out all our sins into the depths of the sea.
Wobɛhunu yɛn mmɔbɔ bio, wobɛtiatia yɛn bɔne so, na woato yɛn amumuyɛ agu ɛpo bunu mu.
20 You will show faithfulness to Jacob and loving devotion to Abraham, as You swore to our fathers from the days of old.
Wobɛyɛ nokwafoɔ ama Yakob na wahunu Abraham mmɔbɔ sɛdeɛ wokaa yɛn agyanom ntam teteete no.
