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.
Ko e folofola ʻa Sihova ʻaia naʻe hoko kia Maika, ko e tangata Molesi, ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho ʻo Sotami, mo ʻAhasi, mo Hesekaia, ko e ngaahi tuʻi ʻo Siuta, ʻaia naʻa ne mamata ai naʻe kau ki Samēlia mo Selūsalema.
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.
Fanongo ʻakimoutolu ʻae kakai kotoa pē; fakafanongo ʻe māmani, mo ia kotoa pē ʻoku ʻi ai: pea tuku ke talatalaakiʻi ʻakimoutolu ʻe he ʻEiki ko e ʻOtua, ko e ʻEiki mei hono fale tapu.
3 For beholde, the Lord commeth out of his place, and will come downe, and tread vpon the hie places of the earth.
He vakai, ʻoku hāʻele mai ʻa Sihova mei hono potu, pea te ne hāʻele mai mo tuʻu ʻi he potu māʻolunga ʻo māmani.
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.
Pea ʻe vela ʻo vai ʻae ngaahi moʻunga ʻi lalo ʻiate ia, pea ʻe mafahi ʻae ngaahi teleʻa, hangē ko e pulu ʻi he ʻao ʻoe afi, pe hangē ko e vai ʻoku lilingi ʻi ha potu tahifohifo.
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?
“ʻOku hoko ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni, koeʻuhi ko e angahala ʻa Sēkope, pea koeʻuhi ko e ngaahi hia ʻae fale ʻo ʻIsileli. Ko e hā ʻae angahala ʻa Sēkope? ʻIkai ko Samēlia? Pea ko e hā ʻae ngaahi potu Māʻolunga ʻo Siuta? ʻIkai ko Selūsalema?
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.
Ko ia te u ngaohi ʻa Samēlia ke hangē ha puke ʻoe ngoue, pea hangē ko e ngaahi vaʻa ʻakau ʻoku tō ʻi he ngoue vaine: pea te u lilingi ʻae ngaahi maka ʻo ia ki he teleʻa, pea te u fakahā ʻa hono ngaahi tuʻunga.
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.
Pea ko e ngaahi tamapua kuo tongi ʻi ai, ʻe laiki, pea ko e ngaahi totongi kotoa pē ʻo ia, ʻe tutu ʻaki ʻae afi, pea ko e ngaahi tamapua ko ia te u fakalala: he naʻa ne tānaki ia mei he totongi ʻoe muitau, pea ʻe foki ia ki he totongi ʻoe muitau.”
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.
Ko ia te u tangilāulau mo ʻioho, te u ʻalu veteki pe mo telefua: te u tangi ʻo hangē ha fanga siakali, pea tangi mamahi ʻo hangē ko e fanga lulu.
9 For her plagues are grieuous: for it is come into Iudah: the enemie is come vnto the gate of my people, vnto Ierusalem.
He ko hono lavea ʻoku taʻefaʻafakamoʻui; he kuo hoko ia ʻo aʻu ki Siuta, kuo ne hoko ki he matapā ʻo hoku kakai, ʻio, ki Selūsalema.
10 Declare ye it not at Gath, neither weepe ye: for the house of Aphrah roule thy selfe in the dust.
ʻOua naʻa fakahā ia ʻi Kati, ʻoua ʻaupito naʻa mou tangi: ʻi he fale ʻo ʻAfala, ke ke tekefili ʻi he efu.
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.
Mole atu ʻa koe ʻoku nofo ʻi Safila, mo e mā ʻa ho telefua: naʻe ʻikai ke hū mai ʻae kakai ʻo Senani ʻi he tangi ʻa Petesili; te ne maʻu meiate kimoutolu ʻa hono tuʻunga.
12 For the inhabitant of Maroth wayted for good, but euill came from the Lord vnto the gate of Ierusalem.
He naʻe tatali ʻamanaki pe ki he lelei ʻae kau nofo ʻi Maloti: ka naʻe hoko ʻae kovi meia Sihova, ki he matapā ʻo Selūsalema.
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.
ʻE! ʻA koe ʻoku nofo ʻi Lakisi, noʻotaki ʻae saliote ki he manu veʻe vave: ko e kamataʻanga ia ʻoe angahala ki he ʻofefine ʻa Saione: he ko e ngaahi angahala ʻa ʻIsileli, naʻe ʻilo ʻiate koe.
14 Therefore shalt thou giue presents to Moresheth Gath: the houses of Achzib shalbe as a lye to the Kings of Israel.
Ko ia te ke ange ʻae ngaahi foaki ki Molesiti-Kati: ʻe hoko ʻae ngaahi fale ʻo ʻAkisipi, ko e loi ki he ngaahi tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli.
15 Yet will I bring an heire vnto thee, O inhabitant of Mareshah, he shall come vnto Adullam, the glorie of Israel.
Ka te u ʻomai ha foha hoko kiate koe, ʻa koe ʻoku nofo ʻi Malesa: te ne haʻu ki ʻAtulami, ko e nāunau ʻo ʻIsileli.
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.
Fakatekefua mo kosi koe, koeʻuhi ko hoʻo fānau fakapelepeleʻi; fakalahi ho tula hangē ko e ʻikale; he kuo nau ʻalu ki he pōpula meiate koe.
