< Micah 7 >

1 Woe is me! for I am as when they have gathered the summer-fruits, as the grape-gleanings of the vintage. There is no cluster to eat; there is no early fruit [which] my soul desired.
Ègbé ni fún mi! Nítorí èmi sì dàbí ẹni tí ń kó èso ẹ̀ẹ̀rùn jọ, ìpèsè ọgbà àjàrà; kò sì ṣí odidi àjàrà kankan láti jẹ, kò sì ṣí àkọ́so ọ̀pọ̀tọ́ nítorí tí ebi ń pa mí.
2 The godly [man] hath perished out of the land, and there is none upright among men: they all lie in wait for blood, they hunt every man his brother with a net.
Àwọn olódodo sì ti kúrò ní ilẹ̀ náà, kò sì ṣí ẹnìkan tí ó ṣẹ́kù tí ó jọ olóòtítọ́; gbogbo wọn sì ń purọ́ ní dídúró nítorí ìtàjẹ̀ sílẹ̀, olúkúlùkù wọ́n sì ń fi àwọ̀n de arákùnrin rẹ̀.
3 Both hands are for evil, to do it well. The prince asketh, and the judge [is there] for a reward; and the great [man] uttereth his soul's greed: and [together] they combine it.
Ọwọ́ wọn méjèèjì ti múra tán láti ṣe búburú; àwọn alákòóso ń béèrè fún ẹ̀bùn, àwọn onídàájọ́ sì ń gba owó àbẹ̀tẹ́lẹ̀ alágbára sì ń pàṣẹ ohun tí wọ́n fẹ́, gbogbo wọn sì jùmọ̀ ń dìtẹ̀.
4 The best of them is as a briar; the most upright, [worse] than a thorn-fence. The day of thy watchmen, thy visitation is come; now shall be their perplexity.
Ẹni tí ó sàn jùlọ nínú wọn sì dàbí ẹ̀gún, ẹni tí ó jẹ́ olódodo jùlọ burú ju ẹ̀gún ọgbà lọ. Ọjọ́ àwọn olùṣọ́ rẹ̀ ti dé, àti ọjọ́ tí Ọlọ́run bẹ̀ ọ́ wò. Nísinsin yìí ní àkókò ìdààmú wọn.
5 Believe ye not in a companion, put not confidence in a familiar friend: keep the doors of thy mouth from her that lieth in thy bosom.
Ẹ má ṣe gba ọ̀rẹ́ kan gbọ́; ẹ má sì ṣe gbẹ́kẹ̀lé amọ̀nà kankan. Pa ìlẹ̀kùn ẹnu rẹ fún ẹni tí ó sùn ní oókan àyà rẹ.
6 For the son dishonoureth the father, the daughter riseth up against her mother, the daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law: a man's enemies are the men of his own household.
Nítorí tí ọmọkùnrin kò bọ̀wọ̀ fún baba rẹ̀, ọmọbìnrin sì dìde sí ìyá rẹ̀, aya ọmọ sí ìyá ọkọ rẹ̀, ọ̀tá olúkúlùkù ni àwọn ará ilé rẹ̀.
7 But as for me, I will look unto Jehovah; I will wait for the God of my salvation: my God will hear me.
Ṣùgbọ́n ní tèmi, èmi ní ìwòye ní ìrètí sí Olúwa, èmi dúró de Ọlọ́run olùgbàlà mi; Ọlọ́run mi yóò sì tẹ́tí sí mi.
8 Rejoice not against me, O mine enemy: though I fall, I shall arise; when I sit in darkness, Jehovah shall be a light unto me.
Má ṣe yọ̀ mí, ìwọ ọ̀tá mi. Bí mó bá ṣubú, èmi yóò dìde. Nígbà tí mo bá jókòó sínú òkùnkùn Olúwa yóò jẹ́ ìmọ́lẹ̀ fún mi.
9 I will bear the indignation of Jehovah — for I have sinned against him — until he plead my cause, and execute judgment for me: he will bring me forth to the light; I shall behold his righteousness.
Nítorí èmi ti dẹ́ṣẹ̀ sí i, èmi yóò faradà ìbínú Olúwa, títí òun yóò ṣe gba ẹjọ́ mi rò, tí yóò sì ṣe ìdájọ́ mi. Òun yóò sì mú mi wá sínú ìmọ́lẹ̀; èmi yóò sì rí òdodo rẹ̀.
10 And mine enemy shall see [it], and shame shall cover her which said unto me, Where is Jehovah thy God? Mine eyes shall behold her; now shall she be trodden down, as the mire of the streets.
Nígbà náà ni ọ̀tá mi yóò rí i ìtìjú yóò sì bo ẹni tí ó wí fún mi pé, “Níbo ni Olúwa Ọlọ́run rẹ wà?” Ojú mi yóò rí ìṣubú rẹ̀; nísinsin yìí ni yóò di ìtẹ̀mọ́lẹ̀ bí ẹrẹ̀ òpópó.
11 In the day when thy walls shall be built, on that day shall the established limit recede.
Ọjọ́ tí a ó mọ odi rẹ yóò dé, ọjọ́ náà ni àṣẹ yóò jìnnà réré.
12 In that day they shall come to thee from Assyria and the cities of Egypt, and from Egypt to the river, and from sea to sea, and from mountain to mountain.
Ní ọjọ́ náà àwọn ènìyàn yóò wá sọ́dọ̀ rẹ láti Asiria àti ìlú ńlá Ejibiti àní láti Ejibiti dé Eufurate láti Òkun dé Òkun àti láti òkè ńlá dé òkè ńlá.
13 But the land shall be desolate because of them that dwell therein, for the fruit of their doings.
Ilẹ̀ náà yóò di ahoro fún àwọn olùgbé inú rẹ̀, nítorí èso ìwà wọn.
14 Feed thy people with thy rod, the flock of thine inheritance, dwelling alone in the forest, in the midst of Carmel: let them feed in Bashan and Gilead, as in the days of old.
Fi ọ̀pá rẹ bọ́ àwọn ènìyàn, agbo ẹran ìní rẹ, èyí tí ó ń dágbé nínú igbó ní àárín Karmeli. Jẹ́ kí wọn jẹun ní Baṣani àti Gileadi bí ọjọ́ ìgbàanì.
15 — As in the days of thy coming forth out of the land of Egypt, will I shew them marvellous things.
“Bí i ọjọ́ tí ó jáde kúrò ní Ejibiti wá, ni èmi yóò fi ohun ìyanu hàn án.”
16 — The nations shall see, and be ashamed for all their might: they shall lay [their] hand upon [their] mouth, their ears shall be deaf.
Orílẹ̀-èdè yóò rí i, ojú yóò sì tì wọ́n, nínú gbogbo agbára wọn. Wọn yóò fi ọwọ́ lé ẹnu wọn, etí wọn yóò sì di.
17 They shall lick dust like the serpent; like crawling things of the earth, they shall come trembling forth from their close places. They shall turn with fear to Jehovah our God, and shall be afraid because of thee.
Wọn yóò lá erùpẹ̀ bí ejò, wọn yóò sì jáde kúrò nínú ihò wọn bí ekòló. Wọn yóò bẹ̀rù Olúwa Ọlọ́run wa, wọn yóò sì bẹ̀rù nítorí rẹ̀.
18 Who is a God like unto thee, that forgiveth iniquity, and passeth by the transgression of the remnant of his heritage? He retaineth not his anger for ever, because he delighteth in loving-kindness.
Ta ni Ọlọ́run bí rẹ̀, ẹni tí ó dárí ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ jì, tí ó sì fojú fo ìrékọjá èyí tókù ìní rẹ̀? Kì í dúró nínú ìbínú rẹ̀ láéláé nítorí òun ní inú dídùn sí àánú.
19 He will yet again have compassion on us, he will tread under foot our iniquities: and thou wilt cast all their sins into the depths of the sea.
Òun yóò tún padà yọ́nú sí wa; òun yóò tẹ àwọn ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ wa mọ́lẹ̀, yóò sì fa gbogbo àìṣedéédéé wa sínú ibú Òkun.
20 Thou wilt perform truth to Jacob, loving-kindness to Abraham, which thou hast sworn unto our fathers, from the days of old.
Ìwọ yóò fi òtítọ́ hàn sí Jakọbu ìwọ yóò sì fi àánú hàn sí Abrahamu, bí ìwọ ṣe búra fún àwọn baba wa láti ọjọ́ ìgbàanì.
