< Micah 2 >

1 Woe to them that devise iniquity and work evil upon their beds! When the morning is light they practise it, because it is in the power of their hand.
Lozan’ izay mamoron-keloka sy misaintsain-dratsy ao am-pandriany! Ary nony maraina ny andro, dia manatanteraka izany izy, Satria manan-kery ny tànany.
2 And they covet fields, and take them by violence; and houses, and take them away; and they oppress a man and his house, even a man and his heritage.
Ary mitsiriritra saha izy ka maka izany an-keriny, Sy trano koa ka mahalasa azy; Ary mampahory olona mbamin’ ny ankohonany izy, Dia ny olona mbamin’ ny lovany.
3 Therefore thus saith Jehovah: Behold, against this family do I devise an evil, from which ye shall not remove your necks; neither shall ye walk haughtily: for it is an evil time.
Koa izao no lazain’ i Jehovah: Indro, mamorona loza hamelezana ity firenena ity Aho, Izay tsy hahazoanareo hanafaka ny vozonareo, Ka tsy handeha miandranandrana ianareo, Satria andro mampahory izany.
4 In that day shall they take up a proverb concerning you, and lament with a doleful lamentation, [and] say, We are utterly spoiled: he hath changed the portion of my people: how hath he removed it from me! He hath distributed our fields to the rebellious.
Amin’ izany andro izany no hanaovana oha-teny handatsana anareo, Ka hitomaniana sy hidradradradrana hoe: Efa levona izao! Eny, hiteny izy hoe: Fongana tokoa isika; Ataony fanakalo zavatra ny anjaran’ ny oloko; Endrey! afindrany hiala amiko izany! Samy zarainy ho an’ ny mpiodina avy ny tanintsika!
5 Therefore thou shalt have none that shall cast the measuring line upon a lot, in the congregation of Jehovah.
Koa tsy hisy aminao hanenjana famolaina akory hanaovana filokana Ao amin’ ny fiangonan’ i Jehovah.
6 Prophesy ye not, they prophesy. If they do not prophesy to these, the ignominy will not depart.
Aza miteniteny ianareo, hoy ny fiteniteniny; Aoka tsy hiteniteny ny amin’ ireto izy, Tsy hita lany ny fanalam-baraka ataony!
7 O thou [that art] named the house of Jacob, Is Jehovah impatient? are these his doings? Do not my words do good to him that walketh uprightly?
He! izany teny izany! Ry taranak’ i Jakoba, Malaky tezitra va ny Fanahin’ i Jehovah? Ireto va no asa fanaony? Tsy mahasoa izay mandeha mahitsy va ny teniko?
8 But of late my people is risen up as an enemy: ye strip off the mantle with the garment from them that pass by securely, that are averse from war.
Vao omaly no omaly no nitsanganan’ ny oloko ho fahavalo; Hendahanareo hiala eo amin’ ny lamba ny kapôtin’ izay mandeha tsy manana ahiahy, Dia izay tsy tia ady.
9 The women of my people do ye cast out from their pleasant houses; from their young children do ye take away my magnificence for ever.
Ny vehivavy eo amin’ ny oloko dia roahinareo hiala amin’ ny tranony mahafinaritra; Esorinareo hiala mandrakizay amin’ ny zanany madinika ny voninahitro.
10 Arise ye, and depart; for this is not the resting-place, because of defilement that bringeth destruction, even a grievous destruction.
Mitsangàna, ka mialà (Fa tsy eto no fitsaharana), Satria misy fahalotoana mahatonga fandringanana eto, eny, fandringanana mafy.
11 If a man walking in wind and falsehood do lie, [saying, ] I will prophesy unto thee of wine and of strong drink, he shall be the prophet of this people.
Raha misy manaraka ny rivotra sy ny lainga ka mandainga hoe: Hitori-teny’ aminao ny amin’ ny divay sy ny zava-mahamamo aho, Dia izy no ho mpitori-tenin ity firenena ity.
12 I will surely assemble, O Jacob, the whole of thee; I will surely gather the remnant of Israel; I will put them together as sheep of Bozrah, as a flock in the midst of their pasture: they shall make great noise by reason of [the multitude of] men.
Hamory anareo rehetra tokoa Aho, ry Jakoba, Ary hanangona ny sisa amin’ ny Isiraely tokoa, Hakambako toy ny ondry any amin’ ny vala izy, Toy ny ondry andiany ao amin’ ny tany fiandrasana; Hitabataba izy noho ny hamaroan’ ny olona.
13 One that breaketh through is gone up before them: they have broken forth, and have passed on to the gate, and are gone out by it; and their king passeth on before them, and Jehovah at the head of them.
Ny mpanabanga miakatra eo alohany, Manabanga izy ka mandroso ho eo amin’ ny vavahady, Dia mivoaka eo aminy; Ny mpanjakany mandroso eo alohany, Ary Jehovah no mitarika azy.
