Micah 7

1 Woe! to me for I have become like gathering of summer fruit like gleanings of [the] grape harvest there not [is] a cluster of grapes to eat early fig[s] it craves appetite my.

‌ʻOiau ʻeku mamahi! He ʻoku ou hangē kuo ʻosi ʻae tānaki ʻoe ngaahi fua ʻoe faʻahitaʻu mafana, hangē ko e toenga kālepi ʻoe toʻukai: ʻoku ʻikai ha fuhinga kālepi ke kai: naʻe holi hoku loto ki he ʻuluaki toʻukai.

2 He has perished [the] faithful from the land and [is] an upright [person] among humankind there not all of them for blood they lie in wait each brother his they hunt a net.

Kuo ʻauha ʻae kau māʻoniʻoni mei māmani: pea ʻoku ʻikai ha kau angatonu ʻi he kakai: ʻoku nau toitoi kotoa pē ki he toto; ʻoku nau taki taha tuli ʻa hono tokoua mo e kupenga.

3 [are] on Evil both hands to do [it] well the official [is] asking and the judge (for bribe *L(abh)*) and the great [person] [is] speaking [the] craving of self his he and they weave it.

Koeʻuhi ke nau fai fakamātoato ʻi he kovi ʻaki ʻae ongo nima ʻosi pe, ʻoku ʻeke ʻe he houʻeiki, pea ʻeke mo e fakamaau ki he meʻa foaki; pea mo e tangata māʻolunga ʻoku ne fakahā hono loto kovi pea pehē, ʻoku nau ʻufiʻufi ia.

4 Good person their [is] like a thorn-bush an upright [person] more than a thorn hedge [the] day of watchmen your punishment your it has come now it will be confusion their.

Ko e lelei lahi ʻiate kinautolu ʻoku hangē ko e ʻakau talatala pe: ko ia ʻoku fungani angatonu ʻoku māsila ʻi he ʻa talatala: ʻoku hoko mai ʻae ʻaho ʻo ho kau leʻo, pea mo ho ʻaʻahi; ko eni ʻe hoko ʻenau puputuʻu.

5 May not you believe in a neighbor may not you trust in a close friend from [she who] lies of bosom your guard [the] openings of mouth your.

‌ʻOua naʻa mou falala ki he kaumeʻa, ʻoua naʻa mou falala ki ha takimuʻa: leʻohi ʻae matapā ʻo ho ngutu, meiate ia ʻoku faʻaki ki ho fatafata.

6 For a son [is] treating with contempt a father a daughter [is] arising on mother her a daughter-in-law on mother-in-law her [are the] enemies of a person [the] people of own household his.

He ʻoku fakaongokoviʻi ʻe he foha ʻa ʻene tamai; ʻoku tuʻu hake ʻae taʻahine ki heʻene faʻē, ʻae taʻahine ʻi he fono, ki heʻene faʻē ʻi he fono; ko e ngaahi fili ʻoe tangata, ʻae kau tangata ʻi hono fale.

7 And I for Yahweh I will watch I will wait for [the] God of salvation my he will hear me God my.

Ko ia te u hanga kia Sihova; te u tatali ki he ʻOtua ʻo ʻeku fakamoʻui; ʻe fanongo mai kiate au ʻa hoku ʻOtua.

8 May not you rejoice O enemy my to me for I have fallen I will arise for I sit in darkness Yahweh [will be] light of me.

‌ʻOua naʻa ke viki kiate au, ʻe hoku fili: ʻo kau ka hinga te u toetuʻu hake: ʻo kau ka nofo ʻi he poʻuli, ʻe hoko ʻa Sihova ko e maama kiate au.

9 [the] indignation of Yahweh I will bear for I have sinned to him until that he will conduct case my and he will do justice my he will bring out me to the light I will look on righteousness his.

Te u kātaki ʻae houhau ʻo Sihova, he kuo u fai angahala kiate ia, ke ʻoua ke ne fakamatala maʻaku, mo fai ʻae fakamaau koeʻuhi ko au; te ne ʻomi au ki he maama, pea te u mamata ki heʻene māʻoniʻoni.

10 And she will see enemy my and it will cover her shame [she] who says to me where [is]? he Yahweh God your eyes my they will look on her now she will become a trampling place like [the] mud of [the] streets.

Pea ʻe toki mamata ai ʻa hoku fili, pea ʻe ʻufiʻufi ʻi he mā ʻaia naʻe pehē mai kiate au, ‘Komaʻā Sihova ko ho ʻOtua?’ ʻE sio ʻa hoku mata kiate ia: ko eni, ʻe malaki hifo ia ʻo hangē ko e pelepela ʻi he ngaahi hala.

11 A day to build walls your a day that it will be far a boundary.

‌ʻI he ʻaho ko ia ʻe langa ho ngaahi ʻā, ʻi he ʻaho ko ia ʻe hiki ke mamaʻo ʻae fono.

12 A day that and to you someone will come from Assyria and [the] cities of Egypt and from Egypt and to [the] River and sea from sea and mountain the mountain.

‌ʻI he ʻaho ko ia ʻe haʻu ia, ʻio, kiate koe mei ʻAsilia, pea mei he ngaahi kolo kuo teu, pea mei he potu mālohi ʻo aʻu ki he vaitafe, pea mei he tahi ki he tahi, pea mei he moʻunga ki he moʻunga.

13 And it will become the earth a desolation on inhabitants its from [the] fruit of deeds their.

Ka neongo ia ʻe lala ʻae fonua koeʻuhi ko kinautolu ʻoku nofo ai, ko e fua ʻo ʻenau faianga.

14 Shepherd people your with rod your [the] flock of inheritance your [who] dwell alone a forest in [the] midst of a garden-land let them graze Bashan and Gilead like [the] days of antiquity.

Fafangaʻi ʻa hoʻo kakai ʻaki ʻae meʻa tā, ʻae kakai ʻo ho tofiʻa, ʻaia ʻoku nofo ngaongao ʻi he vao ʻakau ʻi he lotolotonga ʻo Kameli: tuku ke nau kai ʻi Pesani mo Kiliati, ʻo hangē ko e ngaahi ʻaho ʻi muʻa.

15 Like [the] days coming out you from [the] land of Egypt I will show him wonders.

“ʻO fakatatau mo e ngaahi ʻaho ʻo hoʻo haʻu mei he fonua ko ʻIsipite, te u fakahā kiate ia, ʻae ngaahi meʻa fakaofo.”

16 They will see nations so they may be ashamed from all strength their they will put a hand on a mouth ears their they will be deaf.

‌ʻE mamata ʻe he ngaahi puleʻanga, pea te nau ofo ʻi heʻenau mālohi kotoa pē: te nau ʻai honau nima ki honau ngutu; ʻe tuli ʻa honau telinga.

17 They will lick up dust like snake like [things which] crawl of [the] earth they will quake from strongholds their to Yahweh God our they will be in dread and they may be afraid from you.

Te nau ʻemo ʻae efu, hangē ha ngata, te nau ngaolo mei honau ngaahi luo hangē ko e kelemutu ʻoe fonua: te nau manavahē kia Sihova ko hotau ʻOtua, pea te nau ilifia koeʻuhi ko koe.

18 Who? [is] a God like you [who] forgives iniquity and [who] passes over transgression to [the] remnant of inheritance his not he keeps hold of for ever anger his for [is one] desirous of covenant loyalty he.

Ko hai ha ʻOtua ʻoku hangē ko koe, ke fakamolemole ʻae hia, pea ke laka atu ʻi he angahala ʻi he toenga ʻo hono tofiʻa? ʻOku ʻikai te ne maʻu ʻa hono houhau ʻo taʻengata, he ʻoku ne fiefia ʻi he ʻaloʻofa.

19 He will return he will have compassion on us he will subdue iniquities our so you may cast in [the] depths of [the] sea all sins their.

‌ʻE toe foki mai ia, te ne manavaʻofa kiate kitautolu; te ne ikuʻi ʻetau ngaahi hia; pea te ke lī ʻenau ngaahi angahala kotoa pē, ki he loloto ʻoe tahi.

20 You will give faithfulness to Jacob covenant loyalty to Abraham which you swore to fathers our from days of antiquity.

Te ke fakapapau ʻae moʻoni kia Sēkope, pea mo e ʻaloʻofa kia ʻEpalahame, ʻaia naʻa ke fuakava ki heʻemau ngaahi tamai talu mei he ngaahi ʻaho ʻi muʻa.
