< Micah 2 >

1 Woe to them that devise iniquity, And contrive evil upon their beds; When the morning is light, they practise it, Because it is in the power of their hand.
Ac mau fuka upaiya nu selos su oan na ngetnget ke fong, ac akoo in oru ma koluk. Toang na ke lotutang tok ah, elos orala ma koluk se elos akoo in oru fin mwesas nu selos.
2 They covet fields, and take them by violence; Houses, and take them from their owners. They defraud a man of his house; Yea, a man of his inheritance.
Elos fin mwel ima se, na elos sruokya. Ac elos fin mwet lohm se, elos eisla pac. Wangin acn lun mwet, ku mwe usru lun sou se, ac oan okak.
3 Therefore, thus saith Jehovah: Behold, against this race do I meditate evil. From which ye shall not remove your necks, nor lift up your heads; For it shall be a time of evil.
Na pa LEUM GOD El Fahk, “Nga akola in use ongoiya nu fowos, ac kowos fah tia ku in kaingkunla. Kowos ac sun ongoiya, na kowos fah tia sifil farengreng.
4 In that day shall this song be uttered concerning thee. And this sad lamentation be made: “We are utterly laid waste; He hath changed the portion of my people; How hath he torn it from me! He hath taken away and distributed our fields.”
Ke pacl sac, mwet uh ac mau sramsramkin kowos oana sie pupulyuk ke mwe ongoiya lulap, ac elos fah yuk on soko inge ke ma upa ma kowos sun uh: Kut arulana musalla! LEUM GOD El eisla acn sesr liki kut Ac sang nu selos su uskutla nu in sruoh.”
5 Behold, thou shalt have no one henceforth Who shall draw out a line for a portion, In the congregation of Jehovah.
Ouinge, ke pacl se acn uh folokyang nu sin mwet lun LEUM GOD, ac fah wangin acn lun kutena suwos.
6 “Prophesy not,” [[say they, ]] “O ye that prophesy!” If they prophesy not concerning these things, The shame will not depart.
Mwet uh kaskas nu sik ac fahk, “Nimet luti nu sesr. Nimet fahk ma ingan nufon. God El ac tia aklusrongtenye kut.
7 O ye that are called the house of Jacob, Is the spirit of Jehovah impatient? Are these his doings? Are not my words kind to him that walketh uprightly?
Ya kom nunku mu mwet Israel uh selngawiyuki? Ya wanginla mongfisrasr lun LEUM GOD? Ya pwaye El ac oru kain ouiya ingan? Ya El tia kaskas kulang nu sin mwet ma oru ma suwohs uh?”
8 But long since hath my people risen against me, as an enemy; Ye strip the mantle from the garment of those that pass by securely, as men returning from war.
A LEUM GOD El topuk ac fahk, “Kowos sroang orek anwuk nu sin mwet luk oana elos in mwet lokoalok lowos. Mukul su foloko liki mweun elos nunku mu elos wo ouiya sun lohm selos — elos tiana etu lah kowos muta soanelos in tuh pisrala nuknuk elos nukum uh.
9 The women of my people ye cast out from their pleasant abodes; Ye deprive their children forever of the glory which I gave them.
Kowos lusla mutan inmasrlon mwet luk liki acn selos su elos nunku yohk, ac kowos oru tuh tulik natulos in tia sifil eis mwe insewowo sik mwe tok.
10 Arise and depart; This land is not your rest! On account of its pollution shall it be wasted, And given to utter destruction.
Tuyak ac fahla liki acn inge. Wanginla nien molela yenu. Orekma koluk lowos arulana akfohkfokyela acn uh, pwanang ac fah sikiyukla.
11 If a man follow wind, and invent falsehood, and say, “I will prophesy to thee of wine and strong drink!” He will be the prophet for this people.
“Mwet inge lungkin kain mwet palu su foroht forma, sessesla ke kikiap ac kutasrik, ac fahk, ‘Nga palye mu ac fah arulana yohk wain ac mwe nim ku nimowos.’
12 Yet will I fully gather thee, O Jacob, I will surely assemble the residue of Israel! I will put them together like sheep in a fold; Like a flock in their fold shall they be in a tumult on account of the multitude of men.
“Tuh nga fah eiskowoseni nu sie, kowos mwet Israel nukewa su lula. Nga fah uskowoseni oana sheep su foloko nu in kalkal lalos uh. Acn suwos ac fah sifilpa sessesla ke mwet puspis, oana sie insroan mah su nwanala ke sheep.”
13 He that forceth a way goeth before them; They force their way, and pass through the gate, And go forth by it; And their king goeth before them, Even Jehovah at the head of them.
God El fah ikasla sie inkanek nu selos ac kololosla liki sruoh. Elos ac fah fokolla mutunpot ke siti uh ac sukosokla. LEUM GOD sifacna, su tokosra lalos, fah kololosla.
