< Micah 1 >

1 Here is the message that the Lord gave to Micah of Moresheth at the time when Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah were kings of Judah. This is what he saw concerning Samaria and Jerusalem.
Ny tenin’ i Jehovah izay tonga tamin’ i Morastita tamin’ ny andro nanjakan’ i Jotama sy Ahaza ary Hezetia, mpanjakan’ ny Joda, dia ilay hitany ny amin’ i Samaria sy Jerosalema.
2 Listen, all the nations! Pay attention, everyone on earth! The Lord God testifies against you from the Lord's holy Temple.
Samia mihaino ianareo, ry firenena rehetra; Atongilano ny sofinareo, ry tany sy izay zavatra rehetra eo aminy; Ary aoka Jehovah Tompo no ho vavolombelona hanameloka anareo, Dia Jehovah avy ao amin’ ny tempoliny masìna.
3 Look! The Lord is coming, leaving his place and coming down, and is walking on the high places of the earth.
Fa, indro, Jehovah mivoaka avy ao amin’ ny fitoerany Ary midìna ka mandia ny havoana amin’ ny tany.
4 The mountains melt beneath him, the valleys burst apart, like wax in front of a fire, like water rushing down a slope. All this is happening because of the rebellion of the descendants of Jacob, the sins of the people of Israel.
Miempo ao ambaniny ny tendrombohitra, Ary mivava ny lohasaha, Tahaka ny savoka taninin’ ny afo, Sy tahaka ny rano akorotsaka eny amin’ ny hantsana.
5 What is the rebellion of the descendants of Jacob? Isn't it what is happening in Samaria? Where are the idolatrous high places of Judah? Aren't they right in Jerusalem?
Noho ny fahadisoan’ i Jakoba sy ny fahotan’ ny taranak’ Isiraely no isian’ izany rehetra izany. Iza no nahadiso an’ i Jakoba? Tsy Samaria va? Ary iza no fitoerana avon’ i Joda? Tsy Jerosalema va?
6 Therefore I will make Samaria a pile of rubble in a field, a place for planting vineyards. I will roll its stones down into the valley; I will lay bare its foundations.
Koa Samaria dia hataoko korontam-bato any an-tsaha Sy tany fambolem-boaloboka; Ary hakorotsako ho any an-dohasaha ny vatony, Ka haharihariko ny fanorenany.
7 All their carved idols will be smashed to pieces. All that was earned by their temple prostitutes will be burned. All of their idols will be destroyed, for what she collected through the earnings of temple prostitutes will be taken away and used to pay other temple prostitutes.
Hotorotoroina ny sampiny voasokitra rehetra, Ary hodorana amin’ ny afo ny tanginy rehetra, Sady hofoanako ny sampiny rehetra; Tangin’ ny vehivavy janga no nanangonany ireny, Ary hody ho tangin’ ny vehivavy janga indray izy.
8 Because of this I will weep and wail, I will walk barefoot and naked, and will howl like jackals and mourn like owls.
Koa izany no hitomaniako sy hidradradradrako, Ka handeha sady horobaina no mitanjaka aho; Hikaonkaona toy ny amboadia aho Ary hikiakiaka toy ny ostritsa.
9 Their wound cannot be healed, it has extended to Judah, and reached right to the gates of Jerusalem.
Fa tsy azo sitranina ny ferin’ i Samaria; Fa mihatra amin’ i Joda izany, Ary mahatratra ny vavahadin’ ny oloko aza, dia any Jerosalema.
10 Don't mention it in Gath; don't weep at all. People of Beth-le-aphrah, roll in the dust.
Aza ambaranareo any Gata izany, Aza mitomany akory! Mihosinkosina vovoka ao Beti-le-afra aho.
11 Leave, people of Shaphir, naked and ashamed. People of Zanaan don't come out. People of Beth Ezel mourn, for you have lost your support.
Mandehana mitanjaka mitondra henatra, ry mponina ao Safira; Tsy mivoaka ny mponina ao Zanana; Ny fisaonan’ i Beti-haezela no misakana anareo tsy hijanona ao.
12 The people of Maroth wait anxiously for relief, but disaster has come down from the Lord on the gate of Jerusalem.
Fa malahelo ny soa ny mponina ao Marota, Satria loza no efa nidina avy tamin’ i Jehovah ho ao am-bavahadin’ i Jerosalema.
13 Harness the team of horses to the chariot, you people of Lachish, because the sins of the people of Jerusalem began with you, for the sins of Israel were first found in you.
Fehezo amin’ ny soavaly haingam-pandeha ny kalesy, ry mponina ao Lakisy; Niandohan’ ny fahotan’ i Ziona zanakavavy iny, Fa tao aminao no nahitana ny fahadisoan’ Isiraely.
14 Send your goodbye gifts to Moresheth. The town of Achzib is a deception to the kings of Israel.
Koa izany no hanomezanao taratasy fisaorana ho an’ i Moresetagata; Ranotrambo ho an’ ny mpanjakan’ ny Isiraely ireo tranon’ i Akziba.
15 I will bring a conqueror to attack you, people of Moresheth. The leaders of Israel will go to Adullam.
Mbola hitondrako olon-kandova ianao. Ry mponina ao Maresa; Ho tonga hatrany Adolama aza ny voninahitr’ Isiraely.
16 Shave your heads, for the children you love will be taken away; make yourselves as bald as a vulture, for they will be exiled far away from you.
Miheteza sy mikakasa Noho ny zanakao nahafinaritra; Halehibiazo ny solanao ho toy ny an’ ny voltora, Fa lasan-ko babo niala taminao izy.
