Micah 7
1 I'm totally miserable! I've become like someone trying to glean summer fruit after the grape harvest is over. I can't find any grapes to eat, and there are no early figs that I love.
Lozako! fa efa tonga toy ny fiotazam-boankazo aho Sy toy ny fitsimponam-boaloboka, Tsy misy salohy hohanina, Na aviavy mialin-taona, izay irin’ ny fanahiko,
2 All the good people in the country are gone, there's no one who does right left anywhere. Everyone is looking to murder others; they try to trap even their own brothers.
Lany tsy misy amin’ ny tany intsony ny tsara fanahy; Eny, tsy misy olo-marina ao amin’ ny olombelona; Samy manotrika handatsa-drà avokoa izy, Eny, mihaza ny rahalahiny amin’ ny harato izy rehetra.
3 They are experts at evil; both officials and judges ask for bribes; the powerful demand their evil desires; and they scheme together to get what they want.
Vonona hanao ratsy ny tànany; Mila ny mpanapaka, Azon-kolikoly ny mpitsara, Ary ny lehibe milaza ny fitsiriritan’ ny fanahiny, Koa izany no entiny mandrarirary azy.
4 Even the best of them is like a thorny bush, the most honest like a thorn hedge. Your day of judgment that was announced by the prophets, your time of punishment, has arrived. You'rethrown into complete confusion.
Na dia ny tsara indrindra ao aminy aza dia toy ny roy, Ary na dia ny mahitsy indrindra ao aminy aza dia ratsy noho ny fefy tsilo; Avy ny andron’ ny tilinao, izay hamaliana anao; Amin’ izany dia vao ho very hevitra ianao.
5 Don't trust a neighbor, don't rely on a friend. Watch what you say even to the one who lies in your arms.
Aza matoky namana ianareo, Aza mahazo am-po izay sakaiza mahazatra; Fa ambeno ny varavaran’ ny vavanao na dia amin’ izay andefimandrinao aza.
6 For a son treats his father with contempt; a daughter opposes her mother, and a daughter-in-law her mother-in-law. Your enemies are members of your own family.
Fa ny zanakalahy manamavo ny rainy, Ny zanakavavy mitsangan-kanohitra ny reniny, Ary ny vinantovavy hanohitra ny rafozani-vavy; Ary ny ankohonan’ ny olona ihany no fahavalony.
7 But as for me, I look to the Lord. I will wait for the God who saves me. My God will hear me.
Fa izaho kosa dia hanandrandra an’ i Jehovah, Eny, hiandry an’ Andriamanitry ny famonjena ahy aho; Andriamanitro no hihaino ahy.
8 Don't gloat over me, my enemies! Even though I fall, I will rise again. Though I sit in darkness, the Lord is my light.
Aza mifaly ahy, ry fahavaloko, Fa na dia lavo aza aho, mbola hiarina ihany; Raha mitoetra ao amin’ ny maizina aho, Dia Jehovah no fahazavana ho ahy.
9 I will endure the Lord's anger because I have sinned against him. But after that he will argue my case and give me justice. He will bring me into the light and I will see his integrity.
Ny fahatezeran’ i Jehovah dia hiaretako ihany, Fa efa nanota taminy aho, Ambara-pandahany ny teniko Sy hanomezany rariny ho ahy; Hamoaka ahy ho amin’ ny mazava Izy, Ka ho faly aho mahita ny fahamarinany.
10 Then my enemies will see it and cover their faces in shame for taunting me, asking, “Where is the Lord your God?” With my own eyes I will see what happens to them; they will be trodden down like mud in the streets.
Dia hahita izany ilay fahavaloko ka hosaronan-kenatra, Dia ilay nanao tamiko hoe: Aiza Izay Jehovah Andriamanitrao? Ho faly mahita azy ny masoko; Ankehitriny dia ho fanitsakitsaka toy ny fotaka eny an-dalambe izy.
11 On that day it will be time to build your walls. On that day your boundaries will be extended.
He ny andro hananganana ny mandanao! Amin’ izany andro izany dia hitarina ny faritra.
12 On that day people will come from Assyria and the cities of Egypt, from Egypt to the Euphrates River, from sea to sea, from mountain to mountain.
Amin’ izany andro izany koa dia hanatona anao ny olona Avy any Asyria sy avy any amin’ ny tanànan’ i Egypta, Eny, hatrany Egypta ka hatramin’ ny Ony, Ary hatramin’ ny ranomasina ka hatramin’ ny ranomasina, Ary hatramin’ ny tendrombohitra ka hatramin’ ny tendrombohitra.
13 But the rest of the earth will become desolate because of what those who live there have done.
Nefa ho lao ny tany noho ny amin’ ny mponina eo aminy, Dia noho ny vokatry ny asany.
14 Protect your people with your shepherd's rod. Take care of your flock, your special people, who live alone in the wilderness and in cultivated land. Let them feed in Basham and Gilead as they did long ago.
Ny tehinao no ento miandry ny olonao, Dia ny ondry lovanao, Izay monina mitokana, dia any an’ ala ao an-tampon’ i Karmela; Aoka handrasana any Basana sy Gileada ireny Toy ny tamin’ ny andro taloha ela.
15 Like the time when you left the land of Egypt, I will do miracles for you.
Toy ny tamin’ ny andro nivoahanao avy tany amin’ ny tany Egypta No hanehoako azy zava-mahagaga.
16 The nations will see, and they will be humiliated despite their strength. They will cover their mouths with their hands, and their ears shall become deaf.
Hahita izany ny jentilisa, Ka hahamenatra azy ny heriny rehetra; Hitampim-bava izy, Ho tonga marenina ny sofiny.
17 They will lick the dust like snakes; they will be like the creepy-crawlies of the earth. They will come trembling from their fortresses to meet the Lord our God, fearful and afraid before him.
Hilelaka ny vovoka toy ny menarana izy; Hiala amin-kovitra avy ao amin’ ny fiarovany mafy tahaka ny biby mikisaka amin’ ny tany izy; Jehovah Andriamanitsika dia hohatoniny amin-kovitra, Eny, hatahotra Anao izy.
18 Who is a God like you who forgives sin and passes over the rebellion of those who are left of his special people? You do not remain angry forever because you delight in showing faithful love.
Iza no Andriamanitra tahaka Anao, Izay mamela heloka Sady mandalo ny fahadisoan’ ny sisa amin’ ny lovany? Tsy mitana ny fahatezerany ho mandrakizay Izy, Fa tia famindram-po.
19 You will have compassion on us again. You will tread our sins under your feet, and you will throw our sins into the depths of the sea.
Hamindra fo amintsika indray Izy Ka hanitsakitsaka ny fahotantsika, Eny, harianao ho any amin’ ny ranomasina lalina ny fahotany rehetra.
20 You will give your trustworthy truth to the people of Jacob, your faithful love to the people of Abraham, as you promised our forefathers long ago.
Hanefa fahamarinana ho an’ i Jakoba Hianao Sy famindram-po ho an’ i Abrahama, Dia ilay nianiananao tamin’ ny razanay hatramin’ ny andro taloha ela.
