Michaeas 1
1 And the word of the Lord came to Michaeas the son of Morasthi, in the days of Joatham, and Achaz, and Ezekias, kings of Juda, concerning what he saw regarding 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 [these] words, you people; and let the earth give heed, and all that are in it: and the Lord God shall be among you for a testimony, the Lord out of his holy habitation.
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 will go 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 shaken under him, and the valleys shall melt like wax before the fire, and as water rushing down a declivity.
Irĩma itwekaga irĩ rungu rwake, nayo mĩkuru ĩgaatũkana; itwekaga ta mũhũra ũrĩ mwaki-inĩ, igaikũrũka ta maaĩ maikũrũkĩte na ihenya kĩgaragaro-inĩ.
5 All these [calamities are] for the transgression of Jacob, and for the sin of the house of Israel. What is the transgression of Jacob? [is it] not Samaria? and what is the sin of the house of Juda? [is it] 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] a store-house of the fruits of the field, and [as] a planting of a vineyard: and I will utterly demolish her stones, and I will expose her foundations.
“Nĩ ũndũ ũcio, ngaatua Samaria hĩba ya mahiga, gũtuĩke kũndũ gwa kũhaandagwo mĩthabibũ. Nĩngaita mahiga marĩo mũkuru-inĩ na thikũrie mĩthingi yarĩo.
7 And they shall cut in pieces all the graven images, and all that she has hired they shall burn with fire, and I will utterly destroy all her idols: because she has gathered of the hires of fornication, and of the hires of fornication has she amassed [wealth].
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 shall she lament and wail, she shall go barefooted, and [being] naked she shall make lamentation as [that] of serpents, and mourning as of the daughters of sirens.
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 plague has become grievous; for it has come even to Juda; and has reached to 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 You that are in Geth, exalt not yourselves, and you Enakim, do not rebuild from [the ruins of] the house in derision: sprinkle dust [in the place of] your laughter.
Mũtikaheane ũhoro ũcio kũu Gathu, mũtikarĩre o na hanini. Ningĩ kũu Bethi-Ofara mwĩgaragariei rũkũngũ‑inĩ.
11 The inhabitant of Sennaar, fairly inhabiting her cities, came not forth to mourn for the house next to her: she shall receive of you the stroke of grief.
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 Who has begun [to act] for good to her that dwells in sorrow? for calamities have come down from the Lord upon the gates 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 [even] a sound of chariots and horsemen: the inhabitants of Lachis, she is the leader of sin to the daughter of Sion: for in you were found the transgressions of Israel.
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 he cause men to be sent forth as far as the inheritance of Geth, [even] vain houses; they are become vanity 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 until they bring the heirs, O inhabitant of Lachis: the inheritance shall reach to Odollam, [even] the glory of the daughter of Israel.
Inyuĩ mũtũũraga Maresha nĩngamũrehithĩria mũndũ wa kũmũũkĩrĩra, amũtoorie. Ũrĩa we ũrĩ Riiri wa Isiraeli nĩagooka Adulamu.
16 Shave your hair, and make yourself bald for your delicate children; increase your widowhood as an eagle; for [your people] are gone into captivity from you.
Enjwoi mĩtwe mũcakaĩre ciana cianyu iria mũkenagĩra; mwĩenjei kĩhara mũhaane ta nderi, nĩgũkorwo ciana icio cianyu nĩigatahwo.
