Micah 1
1 The word of the LORD that came to Micah the Morasthite in the days of Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah, which he saw concerning Samaria and Jerusalem.
Ĩno nĩyo ndũmĩrĩri ya Jehova ĩrĩa yakinyĩrĩire Mika ũrĩa warĩ wa itũũra rĩa Moreshethu, ĩkoniĩ Samaria na Jerusalemu, hĩndĩ ya ũthamaki wa Jothamu, na wa Ahazu, na wa Hezekia, athamaki a Juda.
2 Hear, all you people; hearken, O earth, and all that therein is: and let the Lord GOD be witness against you, the LORD from his holy temple.
Atĩrĩrĩ, ta thikĩrĩriai inyuĩ andũ aya inyuothe; o nawe thĩ ta igua, na arĩa othe matũũraga kuo, nĩgeetha Mwathani Jehova arute ũira wa kũmũũkĩrĩra, o we Mwathani arĩ thĩinĩ wa hekarũ yake theru.
3 For, behold, the LORD comes forth out of his place, and will come down, and tread upon the high places of the earth.
Atĩrĩrĩ! Jehova nĩarooka oimĩte gĩikaro gĩake; araikũrũka arangĩrĩrie kũrĩa gũtũũgĩru gũkũ thĩ.
4 And the mountains shall be molten under him, and the valleys shall be cleft, as wax before the fire, and as the waters that are poured down a steep place.
Irĩma itwekaga irĩ rungu rwake, nayo mĩkuru ĩgaatũkana; itwekaga ta mũhũra ũrĩ mwaki-inĩ, igaikũrũka ta maaĩ maikũrũkĩte na ihenya kĩgaragaro-inĩ.
5 For the transgression of Jacob is all this, and for the sins of the house of Israel. What is the transgression of Jacob? is it not Samaria? and what are the high places of Judah? are they not Jerusalem?
Ũndũ ũyũ wonekete nĩ ũndũ wa ũremi wa Jakubu, na nĩ ũndũ wa mehia ma nyũmba ya Isiraeli. Ũremi wa Jakubu-rĩ, nĩ ũrĩkũ? Githĩ ti Samaria? Kũndũ kũrĩa gũtũũgĩru kwa Juda-rĩ, nĩ kũ? Githĩ ti Jerusalemu?
6 Therefore I will make Samaria as an heap of the field, and as plantings of a vineyard: and I will pour down the stones thereof into the valley, and I will discover the foundations thereof.
“Nĩ ũndũ ũcio, ngaatua Samaria hĩba ya mahiga, gũtuĩke kũndũ gwa kũhaandagwo mĩthabibũ. Nĩngaita mahiga marĩo mũkuru-inĩ na thikũrie mĩthingi yarĩo.
7 And all the graven images thereof shall be beaten to pieces, and all the hires thereof shall be burned with the fire, and all the idols thereof will I lay desolate: for she gathered it of the hire of an harlot, and they shall return to the hire of an harlot.
Mĩhianano yarĩo yothe nĩĩkoinangwo icunjĩ; nacio iheo ciothe cia hekarũ yarĩo icinwo na mwaki. Nĩngananga mĩhianano yothe yarĩo. Tondũ rĩonganirie iheo ciarĩo kuuma mũcaara wa ũmaraya, na igaatũmĩrwo rĩngĩ irĩ mũcaara wa kũrĩha maraya.”
8 Therefore I will wail and wail, I will go stripped and naked: I will make a wailing like the dragons, and mourning as the owls.
Tondũ ũcio-rĩ, ngũrĩra na ngirĩke, na thiĩ ndĩ magũrũ matheri na ndĩ njaga. Ngũgirĩka o ta mbwe, na ndĩre ta ndundu.
9 For her wound is incurable; for it has come unto Judah; he has come unto the gate of my people, even to Jerusalem.
Nĩgũkorwo kĩronda kĩarĩo gĩtingĩhona; gĩũkĩte gĩgakinya Juda. Nĩgĩkinyĩte o kĩhingo‑inĩ kĩa andũ akwa, gĩgakinya Jerusalemu kuo kwene.
10 Declare all of you it not at Gath, weep all of you not at all: in the house of Aphrah roll yourself in the dust.
Mũtikaheane ũhoro ũcio kũu Gathu, mũtikarĩre o na hanini. Ningĩ kũu Bethi-Ofara mwĩgaragariei rũkũngũ‑inĩ.
11 Pass all of you away, you inhabitant of Saphir, having your shame naked: the inhabitant of Zaanan came not forth in the mourning of Bethezel; he shall receive of you his standing.
Inyuĩ andũ arĩa mũtũũraga Shafiri, thiĩi mũrĩ njaga na mũconokete. Andũ arĩa matũũraga Zaanani matingiuma itũũra rĩao. Narĩo itũũra rĩa Bethi-Ezeli no gũcaaya rĩracaaya, itũũra rĩu rĩtingĩhota gũkũgitĩra.
12 For the inhabitant of Maroth waited carefully for good: but evil came down from the LORD unto the gate of Jerusalem.
Andũ arĩa matũũraga Marothu-rĩ, menyogondaga nĩ ruo, o metereire ũteithio, nĩ ũndũ mwanangĩko ũikũrũkĩte kuuma kũrĩ Jehova, ũgakinya o kĩhingo-inĩ kĩa Jerusalemu.
13 O you inhabitant of Lachish, bind the chariot to the swift beast: she is the beginning of the sin to the daughter of Zion: for the transgressions of Israel were found in you.
Inyuĩ mũtũũraga Lakishi, ngaari cianyu cia ita ciohererei mbarathi. Nĩ inyuĩ mwatoonyirie Mwarĩ wa Zayuni mehia-inĩ, nĩgũkorwo ũremi wa Isiraeli woimanire na inyuĩ.
14 Therefore shall you give presents to Moreshethgath: the houses of Achzib shall be a lie to the kings of Israel.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio nĩmũkahe Moreshethu-Gathu iheo cia kuuganĩra ũhoro. Itũũra rĩa Akizibu no rĩa kũheenereria athamaki a Isiraeli.
15 Yet will I bring an heir unto you, O inhabitant of Mareshah: he shall come unto Adullam the glory of Israel.
Inyuĩ mũtũũraga Maresha nĩngamũrehithĩria mũndũ wa kũmũũkĩrĩra, amũtoorie. Ũrĩa we ũrĩ Riiri wa Isiraeli nĩagooka Adulamu.
16 Make you bald, and poll you for your delicate children; enlarge your baldness as the eagle; for they are gone into captivity from you.
Enjwoi mĩtwe mũcakaĩre ciana cianyu iria mũkenagĩra; mwĩenjei kĩhara mũhaane ta nderi, nĩgũkorwo ciana icio cianyu nĩigatahwo.
