< Micah 1 >
1 [the] word of Yahweh - which it came to Micah the Morasthite in [the] days of Jotham Ahaz Hezekiah [the] kings of Judah which he saw on Samaria and Jerusalem.
Yehova anayankhula ndi Mika wa ku Moreseti pa nthawi ya ulamuliro wa Yotamu, Ahazi ndi Hezekiya, mafumu a ku Yuda. Awa ndi masomphenya amene iye anaona onena za Samariya ndi Yerusalemu.
2 Hear O peoples all of them pay attention O earth and what fills it so may he become [the] Lord Yahweh in you a witness [the] Lord from [the] temple of holiness his.
Tamverani, inu anthu a mitundu yonse, mvetsera iwe dziko lapansi ndi okhala mʼmenemo, pakuti Ambuye Yehova achitira umboni wokutsutsani, Ambuye akuyankhula ali mʼnyumba yake yopatulika.
3 For here! Yahweh [is] about to go forth from place his and he will come down and he will tread on ([the] high places of *Q(k)*) [the] earth.
Taonani! Yehova akubwera kuchokera ku malo ake; Iye akutsika ndipo akuponda pa malo okwera a dziko lapansi.
4 And they will melt the mountains under him and the valleys they will be cleft like wax from before the fire like water poured out on a slope.
Mapiri akusungunuka pansi pake, ndipo zigwa zikugawikana ngati phula pa moto, ngati madzi ochokera mʼphiri.
5 [is] for [the] transgression of Jacob all this and for [the] sins of [the] house of Israel who? [is] [the] transgression of Jacob ¿ not [is it] Samaria and who? [are] [the] high places of Judah ¿ not [is it] Jerusalem.
Zonsezi ndi chifukwa cha cholakwa cha Yakobo, chifukwa cha machimo a nyumba ya Israeli. Kodi cholakwa cha Yakobo nʼchiyani? Kodi si Samariya? Kodi malo achipembedzo a Yuda ndi ati? Kodi si Yerusalemu?
6 And I will make Samaria into [the] heap of ruins of the field into a planting place of a vineyard and I will pour down to the valley stones its and foundations its I will uncover.
“Choncho Ine ndidzasandutsa Samariya kukhala bwinja, malo odzalamo mphesa. Miyala yake ndidzayitaya ku chigwa ndipo ndidzafukula maziko ake.
7 And all images its they will be crushed and all hire its they will be burned with fire and all idols its I will make a waste for from [the] hire of a prostitute it gathered [them] and to [the] hire of a prostitute they will return.
Mafano ake onse ndidzawaphwanyaphwanya; mphatso zake zonse ndidzazitentha ndi moto; ndidzawononga zifanizo zonse za milungu yake. Popeza analandira mphatso zake kuchokera ku malipiro a akazi achiwerewere, mphatsozonso zidzagwiritsidwa ntchito ndi ena ngati malipiro a akazi achiwerewere.”
8 On this I will lament and I will wail I will go (barefoot *Q(K)*) and naked I will make a lament like jackals and a mourning like [the] daughters of an ostrich.
Chifukwa cha zimenezi ine ndidzalira momvetsa chisoni; ndidzayenda wopanda nsapato ndi wamaliseche. Ndidzafuwula ngati nkhandwe ndi kulira ngati kadzidzi.
9 For [is] incurable wounds its for it has come to Judah it has reached to [the] gate of people my to Jerusalem.
Pakuti chilonda cha Samariya nʼchosachizika; chafika ku Yuda. Chafika pa chipata chenicheni cha anthu anga, mpaka mu Yerusalemu mwenimwenimo.
10 In Gath may not you tell at all may not you weep in Beth Leaphrah dust (roll yourself. *Q(K)*)
Musanene zimenezi ku Gati; musalire nʼkomwe. Mugubuduzike mu fumbi ku Beti-Leafura.
11 Pass on yourselves O inhabitant[s] of Shaphir nakedness shame not she came forth [the] inhabitant[s] of Zaanan [the] lament of Beth Ezel it will take from you standing ground its.
Inu anthu okhala ku Safiro, muzipita ku ukapolo muli amaliseche ndi amanyazi. Iwo amene akukhala ku Zanaani sadzatuluka. Beti-Ezeli akulira mwachisoni; chitetezo chake chakuchokerani.
12 For she is in anguish for good [the] inhabitant[s] of Maroth for it has come down calamity from with Yahweh to [the] gate of Jerusalem.
Anthu amene amakhala ku Maroti akubuwula ndi ululu, akuyembekezera thandizo, chifukwa Yehova wabweretsa tsoka, lafika mpaka pa chipata cha Yerusalemu.
13 Harness the chariot to the steed O inhabitant[s] of Lachish [was the] beginning of sin it for [the] daughter of Zion for in you they were found [the] transgressions of Israel.
Inu anthu okhala ku Lakisi mangani akavalo ku magaleta. Inu amene munayamba kuchimwitsa mwana wamkazi wa Ziyoni, pakuti zolakwa za Israeli zinapezeka pakati panu.
14 Therefore you will give parting gifts to Moresheth Gath [the] houses of Aczib [will become] a deceitful thing to [the] kings of Israel.
Chifukwa chake perekani mphatso zolawirana ndi a ku Moreseti Gati. Mzinda wa Akizibu udzaonetsa kunama kwa mafumu a Israeli.
15 Again the [one who] dispossesses I will bring to you O inhabitant[s] of Mareshah to (Adullam *L(abh)*) he will come [the] glory of Israel.
Ndidzabweretsa mgonjetsi kudzalimbana ndi inu okhala mu Maresa. Ulemerero wa Israeli udzafika ku Adulamu.
16 Make bald and shear on [the] children of delights your make large baldness your like eagle for they will go into exile from you.
Metani mipala mitu yanu kuonetsa kuti mukulirira ana anu amene mumawakonda; mudzichititse dazi ngati dembo, pakuti anawo adzatengedwa pakati panu kupita ku ukapolo.
