< Micah 1 >

1 The word of Jehovah, which came to Micah, the Morasthite, in the days of Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah; which was revealed to him concerning Judah and Jerusalem.
Ty tsara’ Iehovà niheo amy Mikà nte-Moresete tañ’andro’ Iotame naho i Akhaze vaho Iekezkia mpanjaka’ Iehoda; i nioni’e ty amy Somerone naho Ierosalaimey.
2 Hear, all ye nations, Give ear, O earth, and all that is therein! The Lord, Jehovah, appeareth as a witness against you, The Lord from his holy palace.
Kila mijanjiña ry ondatio; mañaoña ry tane, naho ze hene ama’e ao; fa hanesek’ anahareo t’Iehovà Talè, i Talè boak’añ’Anjomba’e Masiñe.
3 Behold, Jehovah cometh forth from his dwelling-place; He cometh down, and advanceth upon the high places of the earth.
Heheke te miavotse i toe’ey t’Iehovà, hizotso mb’etoa, handialia o haboa’ ty tane toio.
4 The mountains melt under him, And the valleys cleave asunder, Like wax before the fire, Like waters poured down a steep place.
Hitranak’ ambane’e eo o vohitseo, naho ho vaky o vavataneo, manahake ty takafotse añatrefa’ ty afo eo, naho rano nadoandoañe am-piroroñañe.
5 For the transgression of Jacob is all this, And for the sin of the house of Israel. Where is the transgression of Jacob? Is it not at Samaria? And where are the high places of Judah? Are they not at Jerusalem?
Fonga ty amo fiolà’ Iakobeo, naho o tahi’ i anjomba’ Israeleio; Ino i hakeo’ Iakobey? Tsy i Somerone hao? Aia o ankaboa’ Iehodao? Tsy e Ierosalaime hao?
6 Therefore will I make Samaria a heap of stones in the field, A place for the planting of a vineyard; I will pour down her stones into the valley, And lay bare her foundations.
Aa le hanoeko fivotrim-porompotse an-tetek’ ao ty Somerone, ho tanem-bahe; naho haparatsiako am-bavatane ao o vato’eo, vaho haboako o mananta’eo.
7 All her graven images shall be beaten to pieces, And all the hire of her harlotry shall be burned with fire, And all her idols will I destroy. For from the hire of a harlot did she gather her ornaments, And to the hire of a harlot shall they return.
Ho demodemoheñe iaby o samposampo’eo, le ho forototoeñe añ’afo ao o nibanabanaeñe ama’eo; ho rotsaheko iaby o saren-drahare’eo, fa natonto’e an-tamben-karapilo, le hibalike ho tamben-tsimirirañe.
8 Therefore I will wail and howl; I will go stripped and naked; I will wail like the jackal, And mourn like the ostrich.
Aa le hangoihoy naho hikoiakoiake iraho, hihalo naho hibongy te handeha; hanao fitrèn-drimo vaho fandalàm-boron-tsatrañe.
9 For her wound is mortal; It extendeth to Judah; It reacheth to the gate of my people, even to Jerusalem.
Tsy lefe hahàñe o fere’eo, fa nandakake mb’e Iehoda ao; fa nahatakatse ty lalambei’ ondatikoo; Eka, pak’ e Ierosalaime ao.
10 Tell it not in Gath! weep not in Acco! In Beth-Aprah roll yourselves in the dust!
Ko taroñe’o e Gate añe, ko mirovetse; mivarimbariña an-davenok’ ao ty amy anjomba’ i Ofrày.
11 Pass on, thou inhabitant of Saphir, naked and in shame! The inhabitant of Zaanan no more goeth out; The grief of Beth-Azel denieth you an abode.
Mihelaña mb’eo ry mpimoneñe e Safire ao; ami’ty hameñaram-piboridaña’o; tsy lefe ty fivoratsaha’ o mpimone’ i Tsa’ananeo; mangololoike ty Bete’haetsele hasinta’e ama’o ty fijohaña’o.
12 The inhabitant of Maroth mourneth for his goods, For evil came down from Jehovah to the gates of Jerusalem.
Mifeak’ am-pitamàñe hasoa o mpimone’ i Maròteo fe nivotrak’ an-dalambei’ Ierosalaime eo boak’ am’ Iehovà ty hankàñe.
13 Bind the chariot to the courser, O inhabitant of Lachish! Thou wast the beginning of sin to the daughter of Zion; In thee were found the transgressions of Israel.
Feheo amo sareteo o soavalao, ry mpimone’ i Lakìse, ihe namototse ty hakeo’ i anak’ ampela’ i Tsioney, vaho nizoeñe ama’o o fiolà’ Israeleo.
14 Therefore shalt thou resign the possession of Moresheth of Gath; The houses of Achzib shall disappoint the kings of Israel.
Aa le ho banabanae’o ravoravom-piavotañe ty Moresete-Gate; ho famañahiañe amo mpanjaka’ Israeleo o anjomba’ i Akzìbeo.
15 A possessor will I bring to thee, O inhabitant of Mareshah; The glory of Israel shall flee to Adullam.
Mbore haseseko ama’o ty mpitavañe, ry mpimone’ i Maresà; himoak’ Adolame ao ty enge’ Israele.
16 Make thyself bald, cut off thy locks, for the children of thy love; Enlarge thy baldness like the eagle; For they have gone from thee into captivity.
Mipeaha irehe, miharata ty amo anake mahafale azoo; indrao ty hasola’o hifanahak’ ami’ty koáke, ie hieng’azo mb’an-drohy mb’eo.
