< Micah 1 >

1 The word of the Lord that came to Micheas the Morasthite, in the days of Joathan, Achaz, and Ezechias, kings of Juda: which he saw concerning Samaria and Jerusalem.
Nke a bụ okwu Onyenwe anyị nke bịaara Maịka, onye Moreshet, nʼoge eze Jotam, Ehaz na Hezekaya, bụ ndị eze Juda. Ọhụ nke ọ hụrụ banyere Sameria na Jerusalem.
2 Hear, all ye people: and let the earth give ear, and all that is therein: and let the Lord God be a witness to you, the Lord from his holy temple.
Geenụ ntị, unu ndị mmadụ, unu niile, gee ntị, gị ụwa na ndị niile bi nʼime ya ka Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị gbaa akaebe megide unu, bụ Onyenwe anyị site nʼụlọnsọ ukwu ya.
3 For behold the Lord will come forth out of his place: and he will come down, and will tread upon the high places of the earth.
Lee! Onyenwe anyị na-abịa! O si nʼebe obibi ya na-abịa. Ọ na-abịa ma na-azọda ebe niile dị elu nke ụwa.
4 And the mountains shall be melted under him: and the valleys shall be cleft, as wax before the fire, and as waters that run down a steep place.
Ugwu ukwu niile na-agbaze nʼokpuru ụkwụ ya, ndagwurugwu niile na-agbawa, dịka abụba dị nso nʼọkụ, dịka mmiri si nʼebe dị elu na-asọdata
5 For the wickedness of Jacob is all this, and for the sins of the house of Israel. What is the wickedness of Jacob? is it not Samaria? and what are the high places of Juda? are they not Jerusalem?
Ihe ndị a bụ nʼihi njehie Jekọb, nʼihi mmehie niile nke ndị Izrel. Gịnị bụ njehie Jekọb? Ọ bụghị Sameria? Gịnịkwa bụ ebe dị elu nke Juda? Ọ bụghị Jerusalem?
6 And I will make Samaria as a heap of stones in the field when a vineyard is planted: and I will bring down the stones thereof into the valley, and will lay her foundations bare.
“Nʼihi ya, aga m eme ka Sameria ghọọ mkpọmkpọ ebe, ebe a na-akụ osisi vaịnị. Aga m awụnye nkume ya nʼime ndagwurugwu, mekwaa ka ntọala ya pụta ihe.
7 And all her graven things shall be cut in pieces, and all her wages shall be burnt with fire, and I will bring to destruction all her idols: for they were gathered together of the hire of a harlot, and unto the hire of a harlot they shall return.
Arụsị ha niile a pịrị apị ka a ga-akụjisi; onyinye niile a na-ewebata nʼụlọ arụsị ha ka a ga-akpọ ọkụ. Aga m ala arụsị niile ya a kpụrụ akpụ nʼiyi. Ebe ọ bụ na e si nʼaka ndị na-agba akwụna na-ewebata onyinye ndị a, a ga-eji ha kwụọ ụgwọ ịgba akwụna.”
8 Therefore will I lament and howl: I will go stripped and naked: I will make a wailing like the dragons, and a mourning like the ostriches.
Nʼihi nke a, aga m akwa akwa, tikwaa mkpu akwa. Aga m agbara ọtọ gbarakwa ụkwụ efu jegharịa. Aga m akpọ mkpu dịka nkịta ọhịa, tipụkwa ube akwa dịka ikwighịkwighị.
9 Because her wound is desperate, because it is come even to Juda, it hath touched the gate of my people even to Jerusalem.
Nʼihi na ọnya ya enweghị ngwọta, o rutela na Juda. O rutelarị ma nʼọnụ ụzọ ama nke ndị m, rukwaarị Jerusalem.
10 Declare ye it not in Geth, weep ye not with tears: in the house of Dust sprinkle yourselves with dust.
Unu ekwutela okwu ya na Gat; unu akwakwala akwa ọbụla. Tụrụọnụ onwe unu nʼuzuzu, unu ndị Bet-Ofra.
11 And pass away, O thou that dwellest in the Beautiful place, covered with thy shame: she went not forth that dwelleth in the confines: the House adjoining shall receive mourning from you, which stood by herself.
Gabiganụ nʼụzọ unu, unu ndị bi na Shafia. Nʼọnọdụ ịgba ọtọ na ihere unu, unu ndị bi na Zaanan abịakwala nso. Ndị Bet-Ezel na-eru ụjụ nʼihi na e wezugala ndị na-eche unu nche.
12 For she is become weak unto good that dwelleth in bitterness: for evil is come down from the Lord into the gate of Jerusalem.
Ndị bi na Marot nọ nʼoke ahụ mgbu na-eche ka ihe ọma bịa, nʼihi na mbibi esitela nʼaka Onyenwe anyị bịa, ruo nʼọnụ ụzọ ama Jerusalem
13 A tumult of chariots hath astonished the inhabitants of Lachis: it is the beginning of sin to the daughter of Sion, for in thee were found the crimes of Israel.
Unu ndị bi na Lakish kegidenụ ịnyịnya unu na-agba ọsọ nʼụgbọ agha. Ọ bụ nʼebe ahụ ka mmehie nwaada Zayọn malitere, nʼihi na mmehie Izrel na-eme ka a hụrụ nʼetiti unu.
14 Therefore shall she send messengers to the inheritance of Geth: the houses of lying to deceive the kings of Israel.
Ya mere, unu ga-enye Moreshet dị na Gat onyinye mgbe unu na-agbapụ ọsọ. Ụlọ Akzib ga-emesịa ghọọ ụlọ aghụghọ nye ndị eze Izrel.
15 Yet will I bring an heir to thee that dwellest in Maresa: even to Odollam shall the glory of Israel come.
Aga m akpọbata onye ga-emeri unu ndị bi na Maresha nʼagha. Ndị a na-asọpụrụ nke Izrel ga-agbabanye nʼAdulam.
16 Make thee bald, and be polled for thy delicate children: enlarge thy baldness as the eagle: for they are carried into captivity from thee.
Kpachaanụ isi unu nʼọnọdụ iru ụjụ nʼihi ụmụntakịrị ndị ahụ ihe ha masịrị unu, meenụ ka isi unu kwọchaa dịka isi udele, nʼihi na a ga-achụpụ ha site nʼebe unu nọ gaa mba ọzọ.
