Micah 7
1 Alas for me! for I am become as gatherings of summer fruit, as gleaning-grapes in harvest, there is no cluster to eat, the first ripe fruit, my soul, craved.
Hankàñe amako! fa manahake i nipòk’ amo vokan’ asara fa natontoñeoy, tsy am-pirotorotom-baloboke ho haneñe; ndra valoham-boa hampilelalela ty fiaiko.
2 Perished is the man of lovingkindness out of the earth, and, upright among men, is there none, —they all, for bloodshed, lie in wait. Every man—for his brother, do they hunt as for one devoted to destruction.
Fa nifaoheñ’ an-tane atoy t’indaty mañori-Kake, tsy ao ty mahity am’ondatio; songa miampitse handrendreke lio, sindre mifañoroñe an-karato o mpirahalahio.
3 Of wickedness with both hands to make sure, the ruler, doth make demand—and the judge—for a recompense, —and, as for the great man, he, is putting into words the desire of his soul, So have they woven the net!
Fità-roe ty mahatafetetse o sata rati’eo; ipaia’ i roandriañey naho takea’ i mpizakay ty vokàñe; aboa’ ty bey ty fikitrohan-tro’e, vaho rarè’ iereo hitraoke.
4 The best of them, is as a sharp briar, and, the most upright, worse than a thorn hedge, The day of thy watchmen—of thy visitation, hath come, Now, shall be their confusion!
Hoe hìsatse ty soa am’iereo, hoe vovom-patike ty mahity ama’e; i andro ampitsatohe’o mpijilojiloy: tondroke ty fitilihañe azo; ho doboñe iereo henane zay.
5 Do not trust in a friend, do not put confidence in an associate, —from her that lieth in thy bosom, keep thou the doors of thy mouth;
Ko miato rañetse, ko mirampy aman-atehena; amy màndre añ’araña’o eoy, itaò o soñi’oo.
6 For, the son, treateth as foolish, the father, and, the daughter, riseth up against, her mother, the daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law, —The foes of a man, are the men of his own house.
Fa mañamavo an-drae’e ty ana-dahy, miatreatre an-drene ty anak’ ampela, ty vinanto-ampela aman-drafoza’e ampela; rafelahi’ondatio t’indaty añ’akiba’e ao.
7 But, I, for Yahweh, will watch, I will wait for the God of my salvation, —My God, will hear me.
Aa naho izaho, hitamà Iehovà; ho liñisako i Andrianañaharem-pandrombahakoy; hijanjiñe ahy t’i Andrianañahareko.
8 Do not rejoice, O mine enemy, against me, Though I fall, I shall rise again! Though I sit in darkness, Yahweh, is a light to me.
Ko mirebeke ahy, ry mpalaiñ’ ahio, ndra t’ie mikorovoke, mbe hitroatse; ndra mitobok’ añ’ieñe ao, Iehovà ro hazavàko.
9 The indignation of Yahweh, will I bear, for I have sinned against him, —until he take up my controversy, then will he do me justice, he will bring me forth to the light, I shall behold his righteousness.
Ho vavèko ty haviñera’ Iehovà amy t’ie nandilatse ama’e, ampara’ te ihalalia’e ho ahy, naho ampijadoña’e zakam-pañisohañe; ie hakare’e mb’an-kazavàm-b’eo, vaho ho treako ty havantaña’e.
10 So shall she who had been mine enemy fear, and shame, shall cover her, who used to say unto me—Where is Yahweh thy God? Mine own eyes, shall look upon her, Now, shall she become one to he trodden down, like the mire of the lanes.
Ho oni’ i rafelahikoy izay, vaho ho saroña’ ty hasalarañe ty nanao amako ty hoe: Aia t’Iehovà Andrianañahare’o? Ho sambae’ o masokoo, ie ho lialiàñe hoe fotak’ an-dalañe eo henane zay.
11 On the day for building thy walls, —on that day, far away shall be thy boundary:
Ho androm-pampitroarañe o kijoli’oo amy andro zay, hibolea’ i Hake mb’eo mbe’o.
12 The very day, that, against thee, shall one come from Assyria, and [from] the cities of Egypt; yea from Egypt, even unto the River, and from sea to sea, and from mountain to mountain:
Ho androm-pitotsahañ’ ama’o, boak’ Asore naho i Mitsraime, boake Mitsraime pak’amy sakay; eka, boak’an-driake pak’an-driake, vaho boak’am-bohitse pak’am-bohitse,
13 Though the land become a desolation, because of them that dwell therein, —by reason of the fruit of their doings.
Le ho koake i taney ty amo mpimone’eo, ho vale’ ty hatsivokaram-pitoloña’ iareo.
14 Shepherd thou thy people with thy rod, the flock of thine inheritance, Dwell thou alone, a jungle in the midst of a fruitful field, —Let them feed in Bashan and in Gilead, as in the days of age-past times.
Araho an-kobai’o ondati’oo, i lia-rain-dova’o rerek’ añ’ala ao, an-teñateñan-tane marorok’ aoy; andrazo mb’e Basane naho mb’e Gilade mb’eo iereo manahake tañ’andro haehae.
15 As in the days of thy coming forth out of the land of Egypt, will I shew him wonders.
Manahake tañ’andro nañakarako azo an-tane Mitsraime ao, le hampiboahako raha fanjaka.
16 Nations, shall see, that they may turn pale at all their valour, —they shall lay hand on mouth, their ears, shall be silent:
Ho oni’ o kilakila’ ondatio le ho salatse ndra te maozatse; hamihim-palie am-pitàñe vaho ho valagìñe an-dravembia.
17 They shall lick the dust like the serpent, Like the crawlers of the earth, shall they come quaking out of their fastnesses, —Towards Yahweh our God, shall they pay adoration, and shall fear because of thee.
Ie hitsela deboke hoe mereñe, hititititike t’ie miakatse an-kijoly ao hoe merembitike hirik’ an-tane ao; hangebahebake t’ie miheo mb’am’ Iehovà Andrianañaharentika, vaho hañeveñe ama’o iereo.
18 Who is a GOD like unto thee, taking away the iniquity—and passing over the transgression—of the remnant of his inheritance? He hath not held fast, perpetually, his anger, for, one who delighteth in lovingkindness, is he!
Ia t’i Andrianañahare hañirinkiriñe Azo, Mpañafa-kakeo, naho mampipoke ty fiolà’ o honkahonkan-dova’eo! Tsy tana’e nainai’e ty haviñera’e, vaho ifalea’e ty fiferenaiñañe.
19 He will again have compassion upon us, he will subdue our iniquities, —Thou wilt cast—into the depths of the sea—all their sins.
Hiferenaiña’e indraike tika, ho lialiàm-pandia’e o hakeon-tikañeo; Eka! hahifi’o an-driake lalek’ ao o tahi’ iareoo.
20 Thou wilt grant—the faithfulness to Jacob, the lovingkindness to Abraham, —which thou didst swear to our fathers, from the days of ancient time.
Ho tolora’o havantañañe t’Iakobe, naho fiferenaiñañe t’i Avrahame, i nifantà’o aman-droae’ay haehae izay.
