< Micah 2 >

1 Alas for them who devise iniquity and work wickedness upon their beds, —in the light of the morning, they will execute it, for 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 Thus do they covet fields and seize them, and houses and take them away, —and so they oppress the master and his household, the man and 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 Yahweh, Behold me! devising, against this family, a calamity, —from which ye shall not remove your neck, neither shall ye walk loftily, for, a time of calamity, shall it be.
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 one take up against you a by-word, and lament a lamentable lamentation, saying—we are made, utterly desolate, the portion of my people, he passeth to others, —How doth he set me aside! To an apostate, our fields, doth he apportion.
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 Therefore, shalt thou have none to throw a measuring-line by lot, —in the convocation of Yahweh.
Ouinge, ke pacl se acn uh folokyang nu sin mwet lun LEUM GOD, ac fah wangin acn lun kutena suwos.
6 Do not sputter—So they sputter! They must not sputter as to these things, Must he not put away reproaches?
Mwet uh kaskas nu sik ac fahk, “Nimet luti nu sesr. Nimet fahk ma ingan nufon. God El ac tia aklusrongtenye kut.
7 O thou who art said to be the house of Jacob, Is the spirit of Yahweh, impatient? Or are, these, his doings? Are not, his words, pleasant to him who is upright in his walk?
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, against my people, as an enemy, he setteth himself, from off the robe, they tear away, the cloak, —from such as are passing by with confidence, as men averse 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 wives of my people, ye do even drive out, each from the house of her darlings, —from over her children, ye do take away mine ornament, as long as life shall last.
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 ye and depart, for, this, is not the place of rest, —Because it is defiled, it shall make desolate with a desolation that is ruthless.
Tuyak ac fahla liki acn inge. Wanginla nien molela yenu. Orekma koluk lowos arulana akfohkfokyela acn uh, pwanang ac fah sikiyukla.
11 If there be a man, who goeth after wind, and, falsehood, hath woven, [saying] —I will discourse to thee, concerning wine and strong drink, then shall he become a fountain of discourse unto 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 I will, surely assemble, O Jacob, all of thee, I will, surely gather, the remnant of Israel, at once, will I make them like sheep in distress, —Like a flock in the midst of its pasture, shall they hum with 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 One making a breach, hath gone up, before them, they have broken in, and passed through, and, by the gate, have departed, —and their king, hath passed through, before them, with, Yahweh, at their head!
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.
