< Micah 1 >

1 The word of the Lord, that came vnto Micah the Morashite in the dayes of Iotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah Kings of Iudah, which he sawe concerning Samaria, and Ierusalem.
Bara Yootaam, Aahaazii fi Hisqiyaas mootota Yihuudaa turan keessa dubbiin Waaqayyoo gara Miikiyaas namicha Mooresheet dhufe; kunis mulʼata inni waaʼee Samaariyaatii fi waaʼee Yerusaalem argee dha.
2 Heare, al ye people: hearke thou, O earth, and all that therein is, and let the Lord God be witnes against you, euen ye Lord from his holy Teple.
Yaa namoota, isin hundinuu dhagaʼaa; lafaa fi wantoonni ishee irra jiraattan hundinuu dhaggeeffadhaa; Waaqayyo Gooftichi, Gooftaan mana qulqullummaa isaa qulqulluu sana keessaa dhugaa isinitti baʼa.
3 For beholde, the Lord commeth out of his place, and will come downe, and tread vpon the hie places of the earth.
Kunoo! Waaqayyo iddoo jireenya isaatii dhufaa jira; inni gad dhufee iddoo ol kaʼaa lafaa irra ni ejjeta.
4 And the mountaines shall melt vnder him (so shall the valleys cleaue) as waxe before the fire, and as the waters that are powred downewarde.
Akkuma gagaa fuula ibiddaa dura jiruu, akkuma bishaan tabba irraa gad yaaʼuu tulluuwwan isa jalatti ni baqu; sululawwanis gargar baqaqu.
5 For the wickednes of Iaakob is all this, and for the sinnes of the house of Israel: what is the wickednes of Iaakob? Is not Samaria? and which are the hie places of Iudah? Is not Ierusalem?
Wanni kun hundi sababii dogoggora Yaaqoobiif, sababii cubbuu mana Israaʼeliif taʼe. Dogoggorri Yaaqoob maali? Samaariyaa mitii? Iddoon sagadaa Yihuudaa maali? Yerusaalem mitii?
6 Therefore I wil make Samaria as an heape of the fielde, and for the planting of a vineyard, and I will cause the stones thereof to tumble downe into the valley, and I will discouer the foundations thereof.
“Kanaafuu ani Samaariyaa tuullaa diigamaa, lafa wayinii itti dhaabbatan nan godha. Ani dhagaawwan ishee sululatti naqee, hundee ishee qullaa nan hambisa.
7 And all the grauen images thereof shalbe broken, and all the giftes thereof shalbe burnt with the fire, and all the idoles thereof will I destroy: for she gathered it of the hire of an harlot, and they shall returne to the wages of an harlot.
Waaqonni ishee tolfamoon hundinuu ni hurreeffamu; kennaawwan mana qulqullummaa ishee hundinuu ibiddaan gubamu; ani fakkii ishee hunda nan barbadeessa. Isheen gatii sagaagaltootaa irraa kennaa ishee walitti waan qabatteef, kennaan sun ammas gatii sagaagaltootaa taʼee ni deebiʼa.”
8 Therefore I will mourne and howle: I wil goe without clothes, and naked: I will make lamentation like the dragons, and mourning as the ostriches.
Sababii waan kanaatiif ani booʼee nan wawwaadha; ani miilla duwwaa fi qullaa nan deema. Ani akkuma waangoo iyyee, akkuma urunguu nan aada.
9 For her plagues are grieuous: for it is come into Iudah: the enemie is come vnto the gate of my people, vnto Ierusalem.
Madaan ishee waan hin fayyineef, Yihuudaattis darbeera. Karra saba koo dura gaʼeera; Yerusaalemittis dhufeera.
10 Declare ye it not at Gath, neither weepe ye: for the house of Aphrah roule thy selfe in the dust.
Isin waan kana Gaati keessatti hin dubbatinaa; gonkumaa hin booʼinaa. Beet Leʼafraatti, awwaara keessa gangaladhaa.
11 Thou that dwellest at Shaphir, go together naked with shame: she that dwelleth at Zaanan, shall not come forth in ye mourning of Beth-ezel: the enemie shall receiue of you for his standing.
Isin warri Shaafiir keessa jiraattan, qullaa fi qaaniidhaan darbaa. Warri Zanaan keessa jiraatan, gad hin baʼan. Beet Eezel booʼicha irra jirti; eegumsi ishee isin irraa fuudhameera.
12 For the inhabitant of Maroth wayted for good, but euill came from the Lord vnto the gate of Ierusalem.
Sababii balaan Waaqayyo biraa dhufee karra Yerusaalem iyyuu gaʼeef, warri Maaroot keessa jiraatan gargaarsa argachuuf wixxirfatu.
13 O thou inhabitant of Lachish, binde the charet to the beastes of price: she is the beginning of the sinne to the daughter of Zion: for the transgressions of Israel were found in thee.
Ati Laakkiish keessa kan jiraattu, fardeen gaariitti hidhadhu. Ati Intala Xiyooniif jalqaba cubbuu ti; dogoggorri Israaʼel siʼi keessatti argamaatii.
14 Therefore shalt thou giue presents to Moresheth Gath: the houses of Achzib shalbe as a lye to the Kings of Israel.
Kanaafuu ati Mooresheet Gaatiif kennaa kennita. Manneen Akziib mootota Israaʼeliif gowwoomsitoota taʼu.
15 Yet will I bring an heire vnto thee, O inhabitant of Mareshah, he shall come vnto Adullam, the glorie of Israel.
Ani warra Maareeshaa keessa jiraattanitti moʼataa tokko nan fida. Inni ulfina Israaʼel taʼe gara Adulaam ni dhufa.
16 Make thee balde: and shaue thee for thy delicate children: enlarge thy baldenesse as the eagle, for they are gone into captiuity from thee.
Sababii gadda ijoollee itti gammadduutiif jedhii mataa kee haaddadhu; akkuma goggocoroo mataa kee moleeffadhu; isaan boojuudhaan sirraa fudhatamuutii.
