Michaeas 2
1 They meditated troubles, and wrought wickedness on their beds, and they put it in execution with the daylight; for they have not lifted up their hands to God.
Nnome nka wɔn a wɔfa amumɔyɛ ho adwene, wɔn a wɔbɔ pɔw bɔne wɔ wɔn mpa so! Wɔsɔre anɔpa kodi dwuma no, efisɛ wɔwɔ tumi sɛ wɔyɛ.
2 And they desired fields, and plundered orphans, and oppressed families, and spoiled a man and his house, even a man and his inheritance.
Wɔn ani bere mfuw, na wogye. Na afi nso wɔfa. Wɔde nyansakorɔn gye nkurɔfo afi, na wɔn agyapade nso wogye.
3 Therefore thus says the Lord; Behold, I devise evils against this family, out of which you shall not lift up your necks, neither shall you walk upright speedily: for the time is evil.
Enti, sɛnea Awurade se ni, “Meredwene amanehunu a etia saa nkurɔfo yi ho na worentumi nyi wo ho mfi mu. Worentumi nnantew ahantan so bio, efisɛ ɛbɛyɛ bere bɔne.
4 In that day shall a parable be taken up against you, and a plaintive lamentation shall be uttered, saying, We are thoroughly miserable: the portion of my people has been measured out with a line, and there was none to hinder him so as to turn him back; your fields have been divided.
Saa da no, nnipa bɛserew mo. Wɔde saa awerɛhow dwom yi bedi mo ho fɛw se: ‘wɔasɛe yɛn koraa; wɔakyekyɛ me nkurɔfo ahode mu. Ogye fi me nsam! Na ɔde yɛn mfuw ma akɔnkɔnsafo.’”
5 Therefore you shall have no one to cast a line for the lot.
Enti morennya obi wɔ Awurade asafo mu a ɔde ntontobɔ bɛkyɛ asase no.
6 Weep not with tears in the assembly of the Lord, neither let [any] weep for these things; for he shall not remove the reproaches,
“Monnhyɛ nkɔm,” saa na wɔn nkɔmhyɛfo no ka. “Monnhyɛ saa nneɛma yi ho nkɔm; animguase rento yɛn.”
7 who says, The house of Jacob has provoked the Spirit of the Lord; are not these his practices? Are not the Lord's words right with him? and have they not proceeded correctly?
Mo Yakobfi, so wɔnka se, “Awurade Honhom nni boasetɔ ana? Ɔyɛ nneɛma a ɛte sɛɛ ana? “Ne nsɛm nyɛ nea nʼakwan teɛ no yiye ana?
8 Even beforetime my people withstood [him] as an enemy against his peace; they have stripped off his skin to remove hope [in] the conflict of war.
Akyiri no me nkurɔfo asɔre te sɛ ɔtamfo. Moworɔw ntade pa fi wɔn a wɔretwa mu a ɛmfa mo ho, ma wɔyɛ te sɛ asraafo a wofi akono.
9 The leaders of my people shall be cast forth from their luxurious houses; they are rejected because of their evil practices; draw you near to the everlasting mountains.
Mopam mmea a wɔwɔ me nkurɔfo mu fi wɔn afi afɛɛfɛ mu. Mugye me nhyira fi wɔn mma nsam afebɔɔ.
10 Arise you, and depart; for this is not your rest because of uncleanness: you have been utterly destroyed;
Sɔre, fi ha kɔ! Ha nyɛ faako a wɔhome, efisɛ ho agu fi, Wɔasɛe no, na ɛrenyɛ yiye bio.
11 you have fled, no one pursuing [you: your] spirit has framed falsehood, it has dropped on you for wine and strong drink. But it shall come to pass, [that] out of the dropping of this people,
Sɛ ɔtorofo ne ɔdaadaafo ba bɛka se, ‘Mɛhyɛ nkɔm ama moanya nsa bebree a’ ɔbɛyɛ odiyifo a saa nkurɔfo yi pɛ.”
12 Jacob shall be completely gathered with all [his people: ] I will surely receive the remnant of Israel; I will cause them to return together, as sheep in trouble, as a flock in the midst of their fold: they shall rush forth from amongst men through the breach made before them:
“Mɛboaboa mo nyinaa ano Yakob; nokware mɛka Israel nkae no nyinaa abɔ mu. Mɛka wɔn abɔ mu te sɛ nguan a wogu nguannan mu, te sɛ nguankuw a wɔwɔ adidibea; nnipa bɛhyɛ beae hɔ manyamanya.
13 they have broken through, and passed the gate, and gone out by it: and their king has gone out before them, and the Lord shall lead them.
Nea obue ɔkwan no bedi wɔn anim; wobebu apon no na wɔafi akɔ. Wɔn Hene no bɛsen adi wɔn anim, Awurade bɛyɛ wɔn ti.”
