< Micah 7 >

1 Woe is me, for I am as the sommer gatherings, and as the grapes of the vintage: there is no cluster to eate: my soule desired the first ripe fruites.
Ahụhụ dịrị m! Adị m ka onye na-achịkọta mkpụrụ osisi vaịnị nʼọkọchị, mgbe a ghọkọtachara mkpụrụ dị nʼubi vaịnị. O nweghị ụyọkọ mkpụrụ vaịnị ọbụla fọdụrụ nke e nwere ike ịta, o nwekwaghị mkpụrụ fiig buru ụzọ chaa nke agụ ya na-agụsị m ike
2 The good man is perished out of the earth, and there is none righteous among men: they all lye in wayte for blood: euery man hunteth his brother with a net.
Ndị ezi omume agwụla nʼụwa, ọ dịkwaghị otu onye na-eme ihe ziri ezi fọdụrụ. Ha niile na-echere oghere ịkwafu ọbara, ha ji ụgbụ na-achụta nta, onye ọbụla na-achụ ụmụnne ya.
3 To make good for the euil of their hands, the prince asked, and the iudge iudgeth for a reward: therefore the great man he speaketh out the corruption of his soule: so they wrapt it vp.
Ọrụ nke aka ha abụọ na-arụpụta nke ọma bụ ajọ omume. Onyeisi na-ana onyinye, onye ọkaikpe na-eri ngarị, ndị dị ike na-atụpụta ihe masịrị ha, si otu a na-akpagbu eziokwu.
4 The best of them is as a brier, and the most righteous of them is sharper then a thorne hedge: the day of thy watchmen and thy visitation commeth: then shalbe their confusion.
Onye nke kachasị ibe ya ịdị mma nʼime ha dịka uke. Onye nke na-eme ihe ziri ezi nʼime ha jọrọ njọ karịa ogige ogwu. Ma ugbu a, ụbọchị Chineke na-eleta gị abịala, ụbọchị ahụ ndị nche gị na-akụ ekwe ịdọ aka na ntị. Ugbu a bụ oge ihe ịgba gharịị nye ha.
5 Trust ye not in a friend, neither put ye confidence in a counseller: keepe the doores of thy mouth from her that lyeth in thy bosome.
Ekwenyerela onye agbataobi gị, atụkwasịla onye bụ ezi enyi gị obi. Kpachara anya gị, nʼihe gbasara okwu ọnụ gị, ọbụla dị nʼebe nwunye gị nọ.
6 For the sonne reuileth the father: ye daughter riseth vp against her mother: the daughter in lawe against her mother in lawe, and a mans enemies are the men of his owne house.
Nʼihi na nwa na-elelị nna ya anya. Nwa nwanyị na-ebili megide nne ya. Nwunye nwa megidekwa nne di ya, ndị iro mmadụ bụ ndị ezinaụlọ ya.
7 Therefore I will looke vnto the Lord: I will waite for God my Sauiour: my God will heare me.
Ma mụ onwe m, ana m ele Onyenwe anyị anya nʼihi inyeaka ya. Eji m olileanya na-echere Chineke Onye nzọpụta m. Chineke m ga-anụ olu m.
8 Reioyce not against me, O mine enemie: though I fall, I shall arise: when I shall sit in darkenesse, the Lord shalbe a light vnto me.
Achịkwala m ọchị gị onye iro m. Mgbe m dara, aga m ebilitekwa. Mgbe m nọ nʼime ọchịchịrị, Onyenwe anyị nʼonwe ya ga-abụ ihe m.
9 I will beare the wrath of the Lord because I haue sinned against him, vntill he pleade my cause, and execute iudgement for me: then will he bring me foorth to the light, and I shall see his righteousnesse.
Nʼihi na m emehiela megide ya, aga m anabatara onwe m ahụhụ nke ọnụma Onyenwe anyị, tutu ruo mgbe ọ ga-ekpe ikpe m, mee ka m guzosie ike. Ọ ga-akpọpụta m nʼìhè; aga m elekwasịkwa ezi omume ya anya.
10 Then she that is mine enemie, shall looke vpon it, and shame shall couer her, which said vnto me, Where is the Lord thy God? Mine eyes shall behold her: now shall she be troden downe as the myre of the streetes.
Mgbe ahụ, ndị iro m ga-ahụ, ihere ga-ekpuchi onye ahụ sịrị m, “Olee ebe Onyenwe anyị Chineke gị ahụ nọ.” Aga m eji anya m hụ mgbe ọ ga-ada, ọ bụladị dịka e si na-azọ ya ụkwụ, dịka apịtị dị nʼokporoụzọ.
11 This is ye day, that thy walles shalbe built: this day shall driue farre away the decree.
Ụbọchị a ga-ewugharị mgbidi gị niile na-abịa; ụbọchị a ga-eme ka oke ala gị saa mbara.
12 In this day also they shall come vnto thee from Asshur, and from the strong cities, and from the strong holdes euen vnto the riuer, and from Sea to Sea, and from mountaine to mountaine.
Nʼụbọchị ahụ, ha ga-abịakwute gị, site na Asịrịa ruo na obodo niile nke Ijipt, sitekwa nʼIjipt ruo Yufretis, site nʼosimiri ruo osimiri, sitekwa nʼugwu ruo nʼugwu.
13 Notwithstanding, the lande shall be desolate because of them that dwell therein, and for the fruites of their inuentions.
Ma ụwa ga-aghọ ebe tọgbọrọ nʼefu nʼihi ndị bi nʼime ya, iji kwụọ ha ụgwọ ihe ọjọọ niile ha mere.
14 Feed thy people with thy rod, the flocke of thine heritage (which dwell solitarie in the wood) as in the middes of Carmel: let them feede in Bashan and Gilead, as in olde time.
Were mkpanaka gị zụọ ndị gị, bụ igwe ewu na atụrụ nke ihe nketa gị, ndị bi naanị ha nʼoke ọhịa, nʼebe ịta nri nke ahịhịa ndụ jupụtara. Kwere ka ha taa ahịhịa ndụ nke Bashan, na nke Gilead, dịka na mgbe ochie.
15 According to the dayes of thy comming out of the lande of Egypt, will I shewe vnto him marueilous things.
“Dịka nʼụbọchị ahụ unu sitere nʼIjipt pụta, aga m egosi ha ọrụ ịtụnanya m niile.”
16 The nations shall see, and be confounded for all their power: they shall lay their hande vpon their mouth: their eares shall be deafe.
Mba dị iche iche ga-ahụ ya, ihere ga-emekwa ha, nʼime ịdị ike ha niile. Ha ga-ekpuchi aka nʼọnụ ha, ntị ga-echikwa ha.
17 They shall licke the dust like a serpent: they shall mooue out of their holes like wormes: they shalbe afraide of the Lord our God, and shall feare because of thee.
Ha ga-aracha aja dịka agwọ, na dịka anụ dị iche iche, nke na-akpụ akpụ nʼala. Ha ga-eji ịma jijiji si nʼebe ha e wusiri ike pụta. Nʼihi egwu ha, ha ga-abịakwute Onyenwe anyị bụ Chineke anyị. Ha ga-atụkwa egwu gị.
18 Who is a God like vnto thee, that taketh away iniquitie, and passeth by the transgression of the remnant of his heritage! He reteineth not his wrath for euer, because mercie pleaseth him.
Onye bụ chi ahụ dịka gị, nke na-agbaghara ma na-ehichapụ mmehie na njehie nke ndị fọdụrụ afọdụ nʼetiti ihe nketa gị? Ị naghị anọgide na-ewe iwe ruo mgbe ebighị ebi, kama ị bụ onye ọ na-atọ ụtọ inwe obi ebere.
19 He will turne againe, and haue compassion vpon vs: he will subdue our iniquities, and cast all their sinnes into the bottome of the sea.
Ọ ga-emekwara anyị ebere ọzọ. Ọ ga-azọdakwa mmehie anyị nʼokpuru ukwu ya, Ị ga-atụbakwa mmehie anyị niile nʼebe dịkarịsịrị omimi nke oke osimiri.
20 Thou wilt perfourme thy trueth to Iaakob, and mercie to Abraham, as thou hast sworne vnto our fathers in olde time.
Ị ga-egosi Jekọb ntụkwasị obi, gosikwa Ebraham ịhụnanya gị, dịka ị ṅụọrọ nna nna anyị ha nʼiyi, site na mgbe ochie.
