< 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.
Wach Jehova Nyasaye mane obiro ne Mika ja-Moresheth e ndalo loch Jotham, Ahaz kod Hezekia Ruodhi mag Juda e fweny mane oneno kuom Samaria kod Jerusalem.
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.
Winjuru, yaye un ogendini duto. Chik iti yaye piny gi ji duto modakie iye, mondo Jehova Nyasaye mar oganda lweny obed janeno kuomu, mondo Ruoth Nyasaye otim kamano gie hekalu mare maler.
3 Behold, Jehovah cometh forth from his dwelling-place; He cometh down, and advanceth upon the high places of the earth.
Neuru! Jehova Nyasaye biro kowuok e kar dakne; olor piny kendo onyono kuonde ma otingʼore mag piny.
4 The mountains melt under him, And the valleys cleave asunder, Like wax before the fire, Like waters poured down a steep place.
Gode noleny e bwoye kendo holni nobarore kapogore koni gi koni, mana ka odok mobolie mach, kendo mana ka pi maburore koa ewi thur.
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?
Magi duto timore nikech bayo yo mar Jakobo, nikech richo mar dhood Israel. Bayo yo mar Jakobo to en angʼo? Donge en Samaria? Koso kama otingʼore mar Juda to kanye? Donge en Jerusalem?
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.
“Kuom mano analok Samaria obed pith mar yugi, kama ipidhoe mzabibu. Abiro olo kite mag dalano nyaka e holo kendo abiro weyo mise mage nono li.
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.
Gige mopa molamo ibiro toyo matindo tindo; kendo mich mag hekalu mochiwo ibiro wangʼ gi mach; abiro ketho kido mage molos duto. Nikech michgo nochoko koa e chudo mar ochot, omiyo koro ibiro ti kodgi kaka chudo mar ochot.”
8 Therefore I will wail and howl; I will go stripped and naked; I will wail like the jackal, And mourn like the ostrich.
Kuom mano, abiro ywak kendo dengo; abiro wuotho duk kod tienda nono. Anaywag ka ondiek manie thim kendo nadengi ka tula.
9 For her wound is mortal; It extendeth to Judah; It reacheth to the gate of my people, even to Jerusalem.
Nikech adhondene ok thiedhre; kata mana Juda adhondenego osemako. Masira osechopo nyaka e dhoranga joga, nyaka ei Jerusalem.
10 Tell it not in Gath! weep not in Acco! In Beth-Aprah roll yourselves in the dust!
Kik unyis jo-Gath wachni bende kik uywagi kata matin. E dala Beth Ofra ngʼielreuru e buru.
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.
Un joma odak Shafir kadhuru ka un duge kod wichkuot. Jogo modak Zanaan ok nowuog oko. Beth Ezel ni e kuyo nikech gima orite osemaye.
12 The inhabitant of Maroth mourneth for his goods, For evil came down from Jehovah to the gates of Jerusalem.
Joma odak Maroth chunygi chandore ka nigi rem mapek ka girito kony, nikech masira osebiro koa kuom Jehova Nyasaye mochopo nyaka dhoranga Jerusalem.
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.
Un joma odak Lakish tweuru fareseu e gecheu mag lweny. Un ema ne umiyo nyar Sayun odonjo e richo, nikech timbe jo-Israel maricho noa kuomu.
14 Therefore shalt thou resign the possession of Moresheth of Gath; The houses of Achzib shall disappoint the kings of Israel.
Emomiyo gouru oriti ne jo-Meresheth Gath, ok nochak ochungʼ kendo. Dala maduongʼ mar Akzib osewuondo ruodhi mag Israel.
15 A possessor will I bring to thee, O inhabitant of Mareshah; The glory of Israel shall flee to Adullam.
Un joma odak Maresha, abiro ketou e lwet wasiku mabiro loyou. Ruodh Israel biro pondo e rogo man Adulam.
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.
Lieluru wiyeu mapoth ka udengo nikech nyithindo muketo e chunyu ibiro mau miter e twech kaka wasumbini; keturu bondou mapoth mana ka achuth.
