Micah 2
1 Woe vnto them, that imagine iniquitie, and worke wickednesse vpon their beddes: when the morning is light they practise it because their hande hath power.
Nnome nka wɔn a wɔfa amumɔyɛ ho adwene, wɔn a wɔbɔ pɔw bɔne wɔ wɔn mpa so! Wɔsɔre anɔpa kodi dwuma no, efisɛ wɔwɔ tumi sɛ wɔyɛ.
2 And they couet fields, and take them by violence, and houses, and take them away: so they oppresse a man and his house, euen man and his heritage.
Wɔn ani bere mfuw, na wogye. Na afi nso wɔfa. Wɔde nyansakorɔn gye nkurɔfo afi, na wɔn agyapade nso wogye.
3 Therefore thus saieth the Lord, Beholde, against this familie haue I deuised a plague, whereout yee shall not plucke your neckes, and ye shall not go so proudly, for this time is euill.
Enti, sɛnea Awurade se ni, “Meredwene amanehunu a etia saa nkurɔfo yi ho na worentumi nyi wo ho mfi mu. Worentumi nnantew ahantan so bio, efisɛ ɛbɛyɛ bere bɔne.
4 In that daye shall they take vp a parable against you, and lament with a dolefull lamentation, and say, We be vtterly wasted: hee hath changed the portion of my people: how hath he taken it away to restore it vnto mee? he hath deuided our fieldes.
Saa da no, nnipa bɛserew mo. Wɔde saa awerɛhow dwom yi bedi mo ho fɛw se: ‘wɔasɛe yɛn koraa; wɔakyekyɛ me nkurɔfo ahode mu. Ogye fi me nsam! Na ɔde yɛn mfuw ma akɔnkɔnsafo.’”
5 Therefore thou shalt haue none that shall cast a corde by lot in the Congregation of the Lord.
Enti morennya obi wɔ Awurade asafo mu a ɔde ntontobɔ bɛkyɛ asase no.
6 They that prophecied, Prophecie ye not. They shall not prophecie to them, neither shall they take shame.
“Monnhyɛ nkɔm,” saa na wɔn nkɔmhyɛfo no ka. “Monnhyɛ saa nneɛma yi ho nkɔm; animguase rento yɛn.”
7 O thou that art named of the house of Iaakob, is the Spirite of the Lord shortened? are these his workes? are not my wordes good vnto him that walketh vprightly?
Mo Yakobfi, so wɔnka se, “Awurade Honhom nni boasetɔ ana? Ɔyɛ nneɛma a ɛte sɛɛ ana? “Ne nsɛm nyɛ nea nʼakwan teɛ no yiye ana?
8 But hee that was yesterday my people, is risen vp on the other side, as against an enemie: they spoyle the beautifull garment from them that passe by peaceably, as though they returned from the warre.
Akyiri no me nkurɔfo asɔre te sɛ ɔtamfo. Moworɔw ntade pa fi wɔn a wɔretwa mu a ɛmfa mo ho, ma wɔyɛ te sɛ asraafo a wofi akono.
9 The women of my people haue ye cast out from their pleasant houses, and from their childre haue ye taken away my glorie continually.
Mopam mmea a wɔwɔ me nkurɔfo mu fi wɔn afi afɛɛfɛ mu. Mugye me nhyira fi wɔn mma nsam afebɔɔ.
10 Arise and depart, for this is not your rest: because it is polluted, it shall destroy you, euen with a sore destruction.
Sɔre, fi ha kɔ! Ha nyɛ faako a wɔhome, efisɛ ho agu fi, Wɔasɛe no, na ɛrenyɛ yiye bio.
11 If a man walke in the Spirit, and would lie falsely, saying, I wil prophecie vnto thee of wine, and of strong drinke, he shall euen be the prophet of this people.
Sɛ ɔtorofo ne ɔdaadaafo ba bɛka se, ‘Mɛhyɛ nkɔm ama moanya nsa bebree a’ ɔbɛyɛ odiyifo a saa nkurɔfo yi pɛ.”
12 I will surely gather thee wholy, O Iaakob: I will surely gather the remnant of Israel: I will put them together as the sheepe of Bozrah, euen as the flocke in the mids of their folde: the cities shall be full of brute of the men.
“Mɛboaboa mo nyinaa ano Yakob; nokware mɛka Israel nkae no nyinaa abɔ mu. Mɛka wɔn abɔ mu te sɛ nguan a wogu nguannan mu, te sɛ nguankuw a wɔwɔ adidibea; nnipa bɛhyɛ beae hɔ manyamanya.
13 The breaker vp shall come vp before them: they shall breake out, and passe by the gate, and goe out by it, and their King shall goe before them, and the Lord shalbe vpon their heades.
Nea obue ɔkwan no bedi wɔn anim; wobebu apon no na wɔafi akɔ. Wɔn Hene no bɛsen adi wɔn anim, Awurade bɛyɛ wɔn ti.”
