< Micah 2 >
1 Woe to you that devise that which is unprofitable, and work evil in your beds: in the morning light they execute it, because their hand is against God.
Ègbé ni fún àwọn tí ń gbèrò àìṣedéédéé tí wọ́n sì ń ṣiṣẹ́ ibi lórí ibùsùn wọn! Nígbà tí ojúmọ́ bá mọ́, wọn yóò gbé e jáde nítorí ó wà ní agbára wọn láti ṣe é.
2 And they have coveted fields, and taken them by violence, and houses they have forcibly taken away: and oppressed a man and his house, a man and his inheritance.
Wọ́n sì ń ṣe ojúkòkòrò oko, wọ́n sì fi agbára wọn gbà wọ́n, àti àwọn ilé, wọ́n sì gbà wọ́n. Wọ́n sì ni ènìyàn àti ilẹ̀ rẹ̀ lára àní ènìyàn àti ohun ìní rẹ̀.
3 Therefore thus saith the Lord: Behold, I devise an evil against this family: from which you shall not withdraw your necks, and you shall not walk haughtily, for this is a very evil time.
Nítorí náà, Olúwa wí pé: “Èmi ń gbèrò ibi sí àwọn ìdílé wọ̀nyí, nínú èyí tí wọn kì yóò le è gba ara wọn là. Ìwọ kì yóò sì lè máa rìn ní ìgbéraga mọ́, nítorí yóò jẹ́ àkókò ibi.
4 In that day a parable shall be taken up upon you, and a song shall be sung with melody by them that say: We are laid waste and spoiled: the portion of my people is changed: how shall he depart from me, whereas he is returning that will divide our land?
Ní ọjọ́ náà ni ẹnìkan yóò pa òwe kan sí yín; wọn yóò sì pohùnréré ẹkún kíkorò pé: ‘Ní kíkó a ti kó wọn tán; Olúwa ti pín ohun ìní àwọn ènìyàn mi; Ó ti mú un kúrò lọ́dọ̀ mi! Ó fi oko wa lé àwọn ọlọ̀tẹ̀ lọ́wọ́.’”
5 Therefore thou shalt have none that shall cast the cord of a lot in the assembly of the Lord.
Nítorí náà, ìwọ kò ní ní ẹnìkankan tí yóò ta okùn nínú ìjọ Olúwa, tí yóò pín ilẹ̀ nípa ìbò.
6 Speak ye not, saying: It shall not drop upon these, confusion shall not take them.
“Ẹ má ṣe sọtẹ́lẹ̀,” ni àwọn wòlíì wọn wí. “Ẹ má ṣe sọtẹ́lẹ̀ nípa nǹkan wọ̀nyí; kí ìtìjú má ṣe le bá wa.”
7 The house of Jacob saith: Is the spirit of the Lord straitened, or are these his thoughts? Are not my words good to him that walketh uprightly?
Ṣé kí á sọ ọ́, ìwọ ilé Jakọbu: “Ǹjẹ́ ẹ̀mí Olúwa ha ń bínú bí? Ǹjẹ́ iṣẹ́ rẹ ha nìwọ̀nyí?” “Ǹjẹ́ ọ̀rọ̀ mi kò ha ń ṣe rere fún ẹni tí ń rìn déédé bí?
8 But my people, on the contrary, are risen up as an enemy: you have taken away the cloak off from the coat: and them that passed harmless you have turned to war.
Láìpẹ́ àwọn ènìyàn mi dìde bí ọ̀tá sí mi. Ìwọ bọ́ aṣọ ọlọ́rọ̀ kúrò lára àwọn tí ń kọjá lọ ní àìléwu, bí àwọn ẹni tí ó padà bọ̀ láti ojú ogun.
9 You have cast out the women of my people from their houses, in which they took delight: you have taken my praise for ever from their children.
Ẹ̀yin sì lé obìnrin àwọn ènìyàn mi kúrò nínú ilé ayọ̀ wọn, ẹ̀yin sì ti gba ògo mi, kúrò lọ́wọ́ àwọn ọmọ wọn láéláé.
10 Arise ye, and depart, for there is no rest here for you. For that uncleanness of the land, it shall be corrupted with a grievous corruption.
Ẹ dìde, kí ẹ sì máa lọ! Nítorí èyí kì í ṣe ibi ìsinmi yín, nítorí tí a ti sọ ọ́ di àìmọ́ yóò pa yín run, àní ìparun kíkorò.
11 Would God I were not a man that hath the spirit, and that I rather spoke a lie: I will let drop to thee of wine, and of drunkenness: and it shall be this people upon whom it shall drop.
Tí òpùrọ́ àti ẹlẹ́tàn bá wà tí wọ́n sì wí pé, ‘Èmi yóò sọtẹ́lẹ̀ fún ọ nípa ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀ wáìnì àti ọtí líle,’ òun ni yóò tilẹ̀ ṣe wòlíì àwọn ènìyàn wọ̀nyí!
12 I will assemble and gather together all of thee, O Jacob: I will bring together the remnant of Israel, I will put them together as a flock in the fold, as the sheep in the midst of the sheepcotes, they shall make a tumult by reason of the multitude of men.
“Èmi yóò kó gbogbo yín jọ, ìwọ Jakọbu; Èmi yóò gbá ìyókù Israẹli jọ. Èmi yóò kó wọn jọ pọ̀ gẹ́gẹ́ bí àgùntàn nínú agbo ẹran, gẹ́gẹ́ bí ọ̀wọ́ ẹran nínú agbo wọn, ibẹ̀ yóò sì pariwo nítorí ọ̀pọ̀ ènìyàn.
13 For he shall go up that shall open the way before them: they shall divide, and pass through the gate, and shall come in by it: and their king shall pass before them, and the Lord at the head of them.
Ẹni tí ó ń fọ ọ̀nà yóò lọ sókè níwájú wọn; wọn yóò fọ láti ẹnu ibodè, wọn yóò sì jáde lọ. Àwọn ọba wọn yóò sì kọjá lọ níwájú wọn, Olúwa ni yóò sì ṣe olórí wọn.”
