Micah 7
1 Woe is me! for I am as in the gathering of the summer-fruits, as in the grape-gleanings of the vintage: there is no cluster to eat, no first-ripe fruit for which my soul longeth.
Mano kaka midhiero omaka malit! Chutho achalo ngʼat ma hulo e puoth mzabibu e ndalo oro. Onge olemb mzabibu mochokore ma dacham, ngʼope mokwongo chiek ma agombo bende onge.
2 The pious hath disappeared out of the land; and the upright among men there is none; all of them lie in wait for blood; they hunt every man his brother with a net.
Joma oluoro Nyasaye bende osetieki morumo e piny; ja-ratiro onge kata mana achiel modongʼ. Ji duto pondo karito mondo ochwer remo, moro ka moro manyo nyawadgi mondo odwodi.
3 For the evil of your hands you expect good? while the prince demandeth [bribes], and the judge acteth for pay; and the great man is only speaking the wilful pleasure of his soul: and so do they make a network [of wrong].
Lweteni duto ariyo olony e timo richo. Jatelo dwaro mich githuon, jangʼad bura kawo asoya, jogi maroteke chuno ji gi timo gigegi magidwaro, giduto kaachiel giwinjore e wachni.
4 The best of them is like a brier; the most upright is [sharper] than a thorn-hedge: the day of thy watchmen, thy punishment, is come; now shall be perplexity among them.
Joma nenore ni longʼo kuomgi; chalo gi kuth oriangʼ. Joma ikwano ni odimbore mogik eigi richo moloyo kuth chiedo. Odiechieng jorito mau osechopo, odiechiengʼ ma Nyasaye limoue. Ma e kinde ma ikeyoue.
5 Trust ye not in a friend, put ye not confidence in a confidant: from her that lieth in thy bosom guard the doors of thy mouth.
Kik igen kuom ngʼama odak e bathi kata osiepni kik iyiego. Wuo kitangʼ kata gi chiegi ma ugenorugo.
6 For the son disgraceth the father, the daughter riseth up against her mother, the daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law; a man's enemies are the men of his own house.
Nikech wuowi koro ochayo wuon mare, kendo nyako noked kod min mare; chi wuowi bende noked gi damare, wasik ngʼato nobed joode owuon.
7 But I—I will look unto the Lord; I will wait for the God of my salvation: my God will hear me.
Anto amanyo Jehova Nyasaye gi wangʼa ka an kod geno, arito Nyasaye ma Jawarna; kendo Nyasacha biro winja.
8 Rejoice not, O my enemy, over me: though I am fallen, I rise again: though I should sit in darkness, the Lord will be a light unto me.
In jasika kik inyiera kata obedoni asepodho to abiro chungʼ kendo! Kata obedo ni abet e mudho to Jehova Nyasaye biro doko lerna.
9 The indignation of the Lord will I bear, because I have sinned against him; until that he plead my cause, and execute justice for me: [when] he will bring me forth to the light, and I shall behold his righteousness.
Nikech aseketho e nyim Jehova Nyasaye ayie tingʼo mirimbe, nyaka chop oket kwayona kare, mi oyud ni aonge ketho. Obiro kela e ler mi ane adierane.
10 Then she that is my enemy will see it, and shame shall cover her, who said unto me, Where is the Lord thy God? My eyes shall complacently see her [suffer]: now shall she be trodden down as the mire of the streets.
Eka wasika none gima otimore mi ginipongʼ gi wichkuot, gin mane giwacho niya, “Ere Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachino?” Wangʼa none koselogi; kata mana sani ibiro nyon-gi piny, mana kaka chwodho inyono e yore manie dala.
11 The day that thy fences are to be built—that same day, the ordained, is yet far removed.
Odiechiengʼ migeroe ohinga mare biro chopo, en odiechiengʼ manoyarie tongʼni.
12 It is a day when men shall come to thee from Assyria, and the cities of Mazor, and from Mazor even to the river, and from sea to sea, and [from] mountain to mountain.
E odiechiengʼno ji nobi iri koa Asuria kod mier madongo mag Misri, koa chakre Misri nyaka Yufrate koa bath nam koni nyaka bath nam komachielo, kendo koa got koni nyaka got komachielo.
13 While the land [of the nations] shall be made desolate because of its inhabitants, for the fruit of their doings.
Piny biro dongʼ nono, nikech timbe maricho mag ji modak e iye.
14 Feed thy people with thy rod, the flock of thy heritage, which dwell in solitude in the wood, in the midst of Carmel: let them feed in Bashan and Gil'ad, as in the days of old.
Kwa jogi gi ludh odunga mari, kweth mag girkeni magi, modak kendgi ei bungu, e dier puothe momewo. Wegi gichiem Bashan gi Gilead mana kaka ndalo machon.
15 As in the days of thy coming out of the land of Egypt will I let them see marvelous things.
“Mana kaka ndalo mane ua Misri, abiro nyisogi timbena madongo miwuoro.”
16 Nations shall see and be ashamed of all their might: they shall lay their hand upon their mouth, their ears shall be deafened.
Ogendini biro nenogi mi wigi kuodi ka osemagi tekogi duto. Giniket lwetgi e dhogi kendo itgi biro dino.
17 They shall lick the dust like the serpent; like those that crawl on the earth, shall they come forth trembling out of their close places: unto the Lord our God shall they hasten in dread, and shall be afraid of thee.
Gibiro nangʼo lowo ka thuol, ka le malak gi bund-igi e buru. Gibiro wuok ka gia e kuondegi mag pondo ka gitetni. Gibiro lokore gidok ir Jehova Nyasaye, ma Nyasachwa, ka giluor kendo un bende gibiro luorou.
18 Who is a god like unto thee, pardoning iniquity, and forgiving transgression to the residue of his heritage? he retaineth not his anger for ever, because he delighteth in kindness.
En Nyasaye mane machalo kodi ma ngʼwono ne joge modongʼ, kendo weyonegi richogi? Iyi ok wangʼ nyaka chiengʼ, to imor mar kecho jogi.
19 He will again have mercy on us, he will suppress our iniquities; yea, thou wilt cast all their sins into the depths of the sea.
Ibiro kechowa kendo, ibiro nyono richowa e tiendi, kendo idir kethruokwa duto e bwo nam.
20 Thou wilt show faithfulness unto Jacob, and kindness unto Abraham, which thou hast sworn unto our fathers in the days of old.
Ibiro bedo ja-adiera ne Jakobo kendo ibiro kecho Ibrahim, kaka ne isingori kikwongʼori ne kwerewa, e ndalo machon.
