Micah 2
1 Woe [to] those devising iniquity, And working evil on their beds, In the morning light they do it, For their hand is—to God.
Baba na mi ame siwo ɖoa nu vɔ̃ɖi be yewoawɔ kple ame siwo ɖoa nu vɔ̃ɖi le woƒe abawo dzi. Ŋdi kanya la, wowɔa nu siwo woɖo elabena ŋusẽ le wo si be woawɔe.
2 And they have desired fields, And they have taken violently, And houses, and they have taken away, And have oppressed a man and his house, Even a man and his inheritance.
Ne agble dim wole la, woxɔnɛ sesẽtɔe; ne xɔ dim wole la, woxɔa eya hã kple akpasesẽ. Nenye be anyigba ɖeka alo xɔ ɖeka ma koe le amea si hã la, woxɔnɛ le esi. Ale mietea ŋu xɔa amea kple eƒe domenyinuwo siaa sesẽtɔe.
3 Therefore, thus said YHWH: “Behold, I am devising against this family calamity, From which you do not remove your necks, Nor walk loftily, for it [is] a time of evil.
Eya ta ale Yehowa gblɔe nye esi, “Meɖo gbegblẽ ɖe ame siawo ŋuti eye miate ŋu aɖe mia ɖokuiwo ɖa le gbegblẽ sia me o. Miate ŋu agazɔ dadatɔe o elabena anye ɣeyiɣi vɔ̃.
4 In that day [one] takes up for you an allegory, And he has wailed a wailing of woe, He has said, We have been utterly spoiled, The portion of my people He changes, How He moves toward me! To the backslider our fields He apportions.
Le ŋkeke ma dzi la, amewo aɖu fewu le mia ŋu, eye woadzi konyifaha sia na mi amenuɖiatɔe be: ‘Wotsrɔ̃ mi keŋkeŋ; hema nye dukɔ ƒe nunɔamesiwo. Yehowa xɔe le asinye. Ema míaƒe anyigbawo na ame siwo ɖe aboyo mí.’”
5 Therefore, you have no caster of a line by lot In the assembly of YHWH.
Eya ta ne ɣeyiɣi de be woadzidze nu ama anyigba la, ame aɖeke manɔ mía si le Yehowa ƒe asaɖa me amae na mí o.
6 You do not prophesy—they prophesy, They do not prophesy to these, It does not remove shame.
Woƒe Nyagblɔɖilawo gblɔ nam be: “Mègagblɔ nya ɖi tso nu siawo ŋuti o elabena ŋukpe mava mía dzi o.”
7 [Those] named the house of Jacob: Has the Spirit of YHWH been shortened? Are these His doings? Do My words not benefit the people that are walking uprightly?
O Yakob ƒe aƒe, aleke woagblɔ nya siae? “Ɖe Yehowa ƒe gbɔgbɔ ado dɔmedzoea? Ɖe esiawo tso egbɔa? “Ɖe nye nyawo mewɔa nyui na ame siwo lé mɔ dzɔdzɔe tsɔ oa?
8 And recently My people raise up as an enemy, You strip off the honorable ornament from the outer garment, From the confident passers by, You who are turning back from war.
Ke nye dukɔ tso ɖe ŋunye abe woƒe futɔ ene. Mieɖe awu xɔasiwo le ame siwo va le eme tsom le ŋutifafa me la ŋuti abe asrafo siwo tso aʋa gbɔ la ene.
9 The women of My people you cast out from its delightful house, From its sucklings you take away My honor for all time.
Mienya nyɔnu siwo le nye dukɔ me la le woƒe aƒe nyuiwo me. Miexɔ nye yayra le wo viwo si tegbee.
10 Rise and go, for this [is] not the rest, Because of uncleanness it corrupts, And corruption is powerful.
Mitso ne miadzo le afi sia, elabena esia menye dzudzɔƒe wònye na mi o; elabena wodo gu teƒe la, eye wogbãe, ale be womagate ŋu aɖɔe ɖo o.
11 If one is going [with] the wind, And [with] falsehood has lied: I prophesy to you of wine, and of strong drink, He has been the prophet of this people!
Ne alakpatɔ kple ameblela aɖe va gblɔ be magblɔ nya ɖi be, ‘Wain kple aha nabɔ na mi fũu’ la, eyae nye nyagblɔɖila si tɔgbi ame siawo lɔ̃na.”
12 I surely gather you, O Jacob, all of you, I surely bring together the remnant of Israel, Together I set it as the flock of Bozrah, As a drove in the midst of its pasture, It makes a noise because of man.
“O Yakob, magaƒo mia nu ƒu. Maƒo Israel ƒe ame mamlɛawo nu ƒu godoo. Maƒo wo nu ƒu abe alẽwo ene ɖe lãkpɔ me eye woanɔ abe alẽha le gbeɖuƒe ene.
13 The breaker has gone up before them, They have broken through, Indeed, they pass through the gate, Indeed, they go out through it, And their king passes on before them, And YHWH at their head!”
Ame si gbãa agbowo la adze ŋgɔ na wo eye woato agboawo me ado go. Woƒe fia adze ŋgɔ na wo eye Yehowa anye woƒe kplɔla.”
