Micah 2
1 Woe to you who devise useless things and who work evil in your beds. In the morning light, they undertake it, because their hand is against God.
Mano kaka nobed malit ne joma chano timo richo, ka giriere e kitendinigi! Gokinyi ka chiengʼ wuok to gichopo chenrogi nikech gin gi teko mar timo kamano.
2 And they have desired fields and have taken them by violence, and they have stolen houses. And they have made false accusations against a man and his house, a man and his inheritance.
Gigombo puothe gi udi mag ji kendo gikawogi githuon. Giwuondo ngʼato ma gimaa dalane kendo kata anywolagi bende gimayo girkeni magi.
3 For this reason, thus says the Lord: Behold, I devise an evil against this family, from which you will not steal away your necks. And you will not walk in arrogance, because this is a most wicked time.
Emomiyo Jehova Nyasaye wacho kama: “Achano kelo chandruok ne jogi maonge ngʼama notony. Ok unuchak uwuothi gi ngʼayi nikech enobed kinde mar masira.
4 In that day, a parable will be taken up about you, and a song will be sung with sweetness, saying: “We have been devastated by depopulation.” The fate of my people has been altered. How can he withdraw from me, when he might be turned back, he who might tear apart our country?
E ndalono ji nogou ngero; kendo ginichuognu wer malit mar kuyo ni: ‘Osetiekwa chuth, mwanduwa osepog jomoko nono. Eri omayowagi! Opogo puothewa ne joma ndhogowa.’”
5 Because of this, there will be for you no casting of the cord of fate in the assembly of the Lord.
Kuom mano ok unubed gi ngʼato kata achiel e chokruok mar Jehova Nyasaye ma nogo ombulu kipogo lowo.
6 Do not speak by saying, “It will not drop on these ones; shame will not embrace them.”
Jonabi mag-gi wacho niya, “Kik ukor wach. Kik ukor wach kuom gigi; wichkuot ok nomakwa.”
7 The house of Jacob says, “Has the Spirit of the Lord been weakened, or are such things his thoughts?” Are not my words good for him who walks uprightly?
Yaye od Jakobo, inyalo wacho niya: “Bende Roho mar Jehova Nyasaye dikechi? Bende dotim gik ma kamago?” “Donge wechena timo maber ne ngʼatno ma yorene oriere?
8 But, to the contrary, my people have risen up in opposition. You have lifted the cover from the undergarment, and those who passed by harmlessly, you have converted into war.
E ndalogi, joga oselokore wasik ji. Ulonyo oko lewni ma nengogi tek kuom joma kadho ka ok udewo, mana ka joma odwogo oa e lweny.
9 You have evicted the women among my people from their delicate houses. You have taken my praise forever from their little ones.
Umonjo monde joga kendo uriembogi e miechgi mabeyo. Umayogi chuth gweth ma asegwedhogo nyithindgi.
10 Rise and depart, for there is no relief for you here. Because of its uncleanness, it will be corrupted with a most wicked decay.
Auru malo, dhiuru kucha! Nikech kae ok en kar yweyo maru, nimar odwanyore, kendo okethore ma ok nyal kony.
11 I wish that I were not a man who has breath, and that I rather spoke a lie. I will drop it down to you in wine and in drunkenness. And it will be this people on whom it will rain down.
Ka ja-miriambo ma jawuond obiro kawacho niya, ‘Abiro koronu wach mondo ubed gi divai gi kongʼo mangʼeny,’ to ngʼat makamano ema bedo janabi ma jogi ohero!
12 I will gather together in a congregation all of you, Jacob. I will lead together as one, the remnant of Israel. I will set them together like a flock in the fold, like a sheep in the midst of the sheep pen. They will cause a tumult before the multitude of men.
“Abiro chokou un duto ma ok orem, yaye joka Jakobo; abiro kelo jo-Israel modongʼ kaachiel ma ok orem. Anakelgi kaachiel ka rombe manie abila, kendo kaka jamni manie lek. Kanyo nopongʼ gi ji.
13 For he will ascend, opening the way before them. They will separate, and they will cross the gate and enter through it. And their king will pass by, before their very eyes, and the Lord will be at their head.
Jal mayawo yore modinore nodhi nyimgi kotelonegi. Ginimuom rangach mi gitony. Ruodhgi nokwong okadh kotelonegi. Jehova Nyasaye notelnegi.”
