Micah 2
1 A curse on the designers of evil, working on their beds! in the morning light they do it, because it is in their power.
Ahụhụ na-adịrị ndị na-eche ihe ọjọọ nʼobi ha, na ndị niile na-edina nʼakwa ha na-eche ajọ echiche. Mgbe chi bọrọ, ha na-arụzu ihe ha chepụtara, nʼihi na ikike imezu ya dị nʼaka ha.
2 They have a desire for fields and take them by force; and for houses and take them away: they are cruel to a man and his family, even to a man and his heritage.
Ha na-enwe anya ukwu nʼebe ubi ndị ọzọ dị, were ha nʼaka ike, na ụlọ dị iche iche, ha ewere ha nʼike. Ha na-ejikwa aka ike nara ndị mmadụ ụlọ ha, ha na-ezunara ha ihe nketa ha.
3 For this cause the Lord has said, See, against this family I am purposing an evil from which you will not be able to take your necks away, and you will be weighted down by it; for it is an evil time.
Nʼihi nke a, Onyenwe anyị na-asị, “Lee, ana m akwado ihe ọjọọ megide agbụrụ a, nke unu na-enweghị ike isite na ya wezuga onwe unu. Unu agaghị eji nganga na-ejegharịkwa, nʼihi na ọ ga-abụ oge ọjọọ.
4 In that day this saying will be said about you, and this song of grief will be made: The heritage of my people is measured out, and there is no one to give it back; those who have made us prisoners have taken our fields from us, and complete destruction has come to us.
Nʼụbọchị ahụ ha ga-akọcha unu, ha ga-abụrụ unu abụ iru ụjụ iji ya kọchaa unu na-asị, ‘Anyị abụrụla ndị lara nʼiyi, e kesaala ihe nnweta nke ndị m, ọ napụla m ha. O werela ubi anyị nyefee ha nʼaka ndị ahụ meriri anyị nʼagha.’”
5 For this cause you will have no one to make the decision by the measuring line in the meeting of the Lord.
Nʼihi ya, ọ dịkwaghị onye ga-afọdụ nʼetiti ọgbakọ nke Onyenwe anyị, onye ga-eji ihe ọtụtụ kee ala ahụ site nʼife nza.
6 Let not words like these be dropped, they say: Shame and the curse will not come to the family of Jacob!
Ndị amụma ha na-asị, “Unu ebukwala amụma.” “Unu ebukwala amụma banyere ihe ndị a, ihere agaghị eme anyị.”
7 Is the Lord quickly made angry? are these his doings? do not his words do good to his people Israel?
Ụdị ihe a o kwesiri okwukwu, gị ụlọ Jekọb? “Ntachiobi Onyenwe anyị ọ gwụla? Ihe ndị a ọ bụ otu o si eme?” “Ọ bụ na okwu m adịghị eme onye ụzọ ya ziri ezi mma?
8 As for you, you have become haters of those who were at peace with you: you take the clothing of those who go by without fear, and make them prisoners of war.
Ma ọ bụ unu na-ebili megide ndị m dịka ndị iro. Unu na-eyipụ ndị na-agafe agafe uwe ọma ha yi nʼahụ ha na-enweghị mmetụta, dịka a ga-asị na unu bụ ndị si nʼagha na-alọta.
9 The women of my people you have been driving away from their dearly loved children; from their young ones you are taking my glory for ever.
Unu na-achụpụ ndị inyom ndị m site nʼụlọ afọ ojuju ha. Ụmụ ha ka unu na-anapụ ngọzị m ruo mgbe ebighị ebi.
10 Up! and go; for this is not your rest: because it has been made unclean, the destruction ordered will come on you.
Bilienụ, pụọnụ, nʼihi na ebe a abụkwaghị ebe izuike, nʼihi na-emerụọla ya, e bibiela ya, o bibikwaala, ruo na-ịrụzi ya agaghị adị ire.
11 If a man came with a false spirit of deceit, saying, I will be a prophet to you of wine and strong drink: he would be the sort of prophet for this people.
Ọ bụrụ na otu onye abịa buoro unu amụma ụgha na-asị, ‘Aga m eburu unu amụma banyere mmanya na ihe ọṅụṅụ siri ike,’ ọ bụ onye amụma dị otu a ka ndị a chọrọ.
12 I will certainly make all of you, O Jacob, come together; I will get together the rest of Israel; I will put them together like the sheep in their circle: like a flock in their green field; they will be full of the noise of men.
“Aga m achịkọta unu niile, gị Jekọb, aga m akpọkọta ndị niile fọdụrụ nʼIzrel nʼotu ebe. Aga m akpọkọta ha dịka atụrụ nʼime ọgba anụ, dịka igwe ewu na atụrụ nʼebe ịta nri ya, ndị mmadụ ga-ejupụtakwa nʼebe ahụ.
13 The opener of the way will go up before them: forcing their way out they will go on to the doorway and out through it: their king will go on before them, and the Lord at their head.
Onye ahụ na-egbuwa ụzọ ga-anọ nʼihu na-edu ha. Ha ga-etipukwa ọnụ ụzọ ama ahụ, ma site na ya gafee. Eze ha ga-agabigakwa nʼihu ha, Onyenwe anyị ga-anọ nʼisi.”
