Micah 7
1 Woe is me, for I am become as one that gleaneth in autumn the grapes of the vintage: there is no cluster to eat, my soul desired the firstripe figs.
Tsoka ine! Ndili ngati munthu wokunkha zipatso nthawi yachilimwe, pa nthawi yokolola mphesa; palibe phava lamphesa loti nʼkudya, palibe nkhuyu zoyambirira zimene ndimazilakalaka kwambiri.
2 The holy man is perished out of the earth, and there is none upright among men: they all lie in wait for blood, every one hunteth his brother to death.
Anthu opembedza atha mʼdziko; palibe wolungama ndi mmodzi yemwe amene watsala. Anthu onse akubisalirana kuti aphane; aliyense akusaka mʼbale wake ndi khoka.
3 The evil of their hands they call good: the prince requireth, and the judge is for giving: and the great man hath uttered the desire of his soul, and they have troubled it.
Manja awo onse ndi aluso pochita zoyipa; wolamulira amafuna mphatso, woweruza amalandira ziphuphu, anthu amphamvu amalamula kuti zichitike zimene akuzifuna, onse amagwirizana zochita.
4 He that is best among them, is as a brier: and he that is righteous, as the thorn of the hedge. The day of thy inspection, thy visitation cometh: now shall be their destruction.
Munthu wabwino kwambiri pakati pawo ali ngati mtengo waminga, munthu wolungama kwambiri pakati pawo ndi woyipa kuposa mpanda waminga. Tsiku limene alonda ako ananena lafika, tsiku limene Mulungu akukuchezera. Tsopano ndi nthawi ya chisokonezo chawo.
5 Believe not a friend, and trust not in a prince: keep the doors of thy mouth from her that sleepeth in thy bosom.
Usadalire mnansi; usakhulupirire bwenzi. Usamale zoyankhula zako ngakhale kwa mkazi amene wamukumbatira.
6 For the son dishonoureth the father, and the daughter riseth up against her mother, the daughter in law against her mother in law: and a man’s enemies are they of his own household.
Pakuti mwana wamwamuna akunyoza abambo ake, mwana wamkazi akuwukira amayi ake, mtengwa akukangana ndi apongozi ake, adani a munthu ndi amene amakhala nawo mʼbanja mwake momwe.
7 But I will look towards the Lord, I will wait for God my Saviour: my God will hear me.
Koma ine ndikudikira Yehova mwachiyembekezo, ndikudikira Mulungu Mpulumutsi wanga; Mulungu wanga adzamvetsera.
8 Rejoice not, thou, my enemy, over me, because I am fallen: I shall arise, when I sit in darkness, the Lord is my light.
Iwe mdani wanga, usandiseke! Ngakhale ndagwa, ndidzauka. Ngakhale ndikukhala mu mdima, Yehova ndiye kuwunika kwanga.
9 I will bear the wrath of the Lord, because I have sinned against him; until he judge my cause and execute judgment for me: he will bring me forth into the light, I shall behold his justice.
Ndidzapirira mkwiyo wa Yehova, chifukwa ndinamuchimwira, mpaka ataweruza mlandu wanga ndi kukhazikitsa chilungamo changa. Iye adzanditulutsa ndi kundilowetsa mʼkuwunika; ndidzaona chilungamo chake.
10 And my enemy shall behold, and she shall be covered with shame, who saith to me: Where is the Lord thy God? My eyes shall look down upon her: now shall she be trodden under foot as the mire of the streets.
Ndipo mdani wanga adzaona zimenezi nadzagwidwa ndi manyazi, iye amene anandifunsa kuti, “Ali kuti Yehova Mulungu wako?” Ndidzaona kugonjetsedwa kwake ndi maso anga; ngakhale tsopano adzaponderezedwa ngati matope mʼmisewu.
11 The day shall come, that thy walls may be built up: in that day shall the law be far removed.
Idzafika nthawi yomanganso makoma anu, nthawi yokulitsanso malire anu.
12 In that day they shall come even from Assyria to thee, and to the fortified cities: and from the fortified cities even to the river, and from sea to sea, and from mountain to mountain.
Nthawi imeneyo anthu adzabwera kwa inu kuchokera ku Asiriya ndi mizinda ya ku Igupto, ngakhale kuchokera ku Igupto mpaka ku Yufurate ndiponso kuchokera ku nyanja ina mpaka ku nyanja inanso kuchokera ku phiri lina mpaka ku phiri linanso.
13 And the land shall be made desolate, because of the inhabitants thereof, and for the fruit of their devices.
Dziko lapansi lidzasanduka chipululu chifukwa cha anthu okhala mʼdzikomo, potsatira zochita za anthuwo.
14 Feed thy people with thy rod, the flock of thy inheritance, them that dwell alone in the forest, in the midst of Carmel: they shall feed in Basan and Galaad according to the days of old.
Wetani anthu anu ndi ndodo yanu yowateteza, nkhosa zimene ndi cholowa chanu, zimene zili zokha mʼnkhalango, mʼdziko la chonde. Muzilole kuti zidye mu Basani ndi mu Giliyadi monga masiku akale.
15 According to the days of thy coming out of the land of Egypt I will shew him wonders.
“Ndidzawaonetsa zodabwitsa zanga, ngati masiku amene ndinawatulutsa mʼdziko la Igupto.”
16 The nations shall see, and shall be confounded at all their strength: they shall put the hand upon the mouth, their ears shall be deaf.
Mitundu ya anthu idzaona zimenezi ndipo idzachita manyazi, ngakhale ali ndi mphamvu zotani. Adzagwira pakamwa pawo ndipo makutu awo adzagontha.
17 They shall lick the dust like serpents, as the creeping things of the earth, they shall be disturbed in their houses: they shall dread the Lord our God, and shall fear thee.
Adzabwira fumbi ngati njoka, ngati zolengedwa zomwe zimakwawa pansi. Adzabwera akunjenjemera kuchokera mʼmaenje awo; mwamantha adzatembenukira kwa Yehova Mulungu wathu ndipo adzachita nanu mantha.
18 Who is a God like to thee, who takest away iniquity, and passest by the sin of the remnant of thy inheritance? he will send his fury in no more, because he delighteth in mercy.
Kodi alipo Mulungu wofanana nanu, amene amakhululukira tchimo ndi kuyiwala zolakwa za anthu otsala amene ndi cholowa chake? Inu simusunga mkwiyo mpaka muyaya koma kwanu nʼkuonetsa chikondi chosasinthika.
19 He will turn again, and have mercy on us: he will put away our iniquities: and he will cast all our sins into the bottom of the sea.
Inu mudzatichitiranso chifundo; mudzapondereza pansi machimo athu ndi kuponyera zolakwa zathu zonse pansi pa nyanja.
20 Thou wilt perform the truth of Jacob, the mercy to Abraham: which thou hast sworn to our fathers from the days of old.
Mudzakhala wokhulupirika kwa Yakobo, ndi kuonetsa chifundo chanu kwa Abrahamu, monga munalonjeza molumbira kwa makolo athu masiku amakedzana.
