< 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.
Hankàñe amo mpikilily hatsivokarañeo, o mikitro-draha an-tihi’eo! Ie berabera andro le mañeneke kanao am-pità’ iareo ty haozarañe.
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.
Mihañe teteke, le mitavañe, naho anjomba, le minday; aa le forekekè’ iereo ty fokontokoñe rekets’ i akiba’ey, vaho t’indaty naho i lova’ey.
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.
Aa le hoe ty nafè’ Iehovà: Inao, safirieko hekoheko ty fifokoañe toy, le tsy haha-votso-bozoñ’ ama’e nahareo, vaho ko mañavelo an-drengevoke; fa ho san-kankàñe.
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.”
Amy andro zay le handrazan-drehake ty ama’o iereo, naho handala am-pirovetañe ty hoe: Vata’e rotsake zahay; novae’e ty anjara’ ondatikoo, akore ty nanintaha’e amako! Tsy ho navaha’e o tete’aio? te mone zarae’e.
5 Behold, thou shalt have no one henceforth Who shall draw out a line for a portion, In the congregation of Jehovah.
Aa le tsy eo ty hikozozotse talim-panjeheañe an-kitsapak’ ami’ty valobohò’ Iehovà ho azo.
6 “Prophesy not,” [[say they, ]] “O ye that prophesy!” If they prophesy not concerning these things, The shame will not depart.
Ko mitaroñe, hoe ty taroñe’ iareo; Tsy hitaroña’iareo o raha zao, tsy mone ho salareñe.
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?
Hoe ty volañeñe ry anjomba’ Iakobe, Tsy mahaliñe hao t’i Arofo’ Iehovà? Sata’e hao rezao? Tsy mahasoa ty mpañavelo an-kavantañañe hao o volakoo?
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.
Fe nitroatse ho rafelahy omale ondatikoo; endahe’ areo ty sarimbo reketse ty akanjo’ ondaty mitoañe am-panintsiñañeo, o mimpoly boak’añ’alio.
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.
Ampisitahe’ areo o rakemba’ ondatikoo; songa boak’ añ’anjomba’e soa fihamiñe; asinta’ areo amo keleia’ iareoo kitro-katroke ty engeko.
10 Arise and depart; This land is not your rest! On account of its pollution shall it be wasted, And given to utter destruction.
Miongaha! Akia! fa tsy fitofà’ areo ty atoy; i haloera’ey ty maharotsake am-pandrotsahañe mitivontivoñe.
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.
Naho teo ty mpañorike tioke naho vande, nandañitse ami’ty hoe: Hitaroñe divay naho toake ama’ areo iraho, ie ty hatao mpilañoñe am’ondaty retoañe.
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.
Toe havoriko irehe, ry Iakobe, ihe iaby; toe hatontoko ty sengaha’ Israele; hatraoko hoe añondry am-piandrazañe ao; manahake ty lia-raik’ an-golobo’e ao; higoreongoreoñe ty am’ondatio.
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.
Miakatse aolo’ iareo mb’eo t’i Mpampiboroboñake; miboroboñake mb’eo iereo, mivavatse mb’an-dalambey naho miakatse añe; vaho miary aolo mb’eo ty Mpanjaka’ iareo, Iehovà ty mpiaolo’ iareo.
