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.
Neno la Bwana lilimjia Mika, Mmoreshethi, wakati wa utawala wa Yothamu, Ahazi na Hezekia, wafalme wa Yuda; ufunuo aliouona kuhusu Samaria na 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.
Sikieni, enyi mataifa, enyi nyote, sikilizeni, ee dunia na wote mliomo ndani yake, ili Bwana Mwenyezi ashuhudie dhidi yenu, Bwana kutoka Hekalu lake takatifu.
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.
Tazama! Bwana anakuja kutoka mahali pake; anashuka na kukanyaga mahali palipoinuka juu pa dunia.
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.
Milima inayeyuka chini yake na mabonde yanagawanyika kama nta mbele ya moto, kama maji yatiririkayo kasi kwenye mteremko.
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.
Yote haya ni kwa sababu ya kosa la Yakobo, ni kwa sababu ya dhambi za nyumba ya Israeli. Kosa la Yakobo ni lipi? Je, sio Samaria? Je, mahali pa juu pa Yuda pa kuabudia miungu ni nini? Je, sio 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.
“Kwa hiyo nitaufanya Samaria kuwa lundo la kokoto, mahali pa kuotesha mizabibu. Nitayamwaga mawe yake katika bonde na kuacha wazi misingi yake.
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.
Sanamu zake zote zitavunjwa vipande vipande; zawadi zake zote za Hekalu zitachomwa kwa moto; nitaharibu vinyago vyake vyote. Kwa kuwa alikusanya zawadi zake kutokana na ujira wa kahaba, nazo zitatumika tena kulipa mishahara ya kahaba.”
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.
Kwa ajili ya hili nitalia na kuomboleza; nitatembea bila viatu na tena uchi. Nitabweka kama mbweha na kuomboleza kama bundi.
9 For [is] incurable wounds its for it has come to Judah it has reached to [the] gate of people my to Jerusalem.
Kwa sababu jeraha lake halitibiki; limekuja Yuda. Limefika hasa kwenye lango la watu wangu, hata Yerusalemu kwenyewe.
10 In Gath may not you tell at all may not you weep in Beth Leaphrah dust (roll yourself. *Q(K)*)
Usiliseme hili huko Gathi; usilie hata kidogo. Huko Beth-le-Afra gaagaa mavumbini.
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.
Piteni mkiwa uchi na wenye aibu, ninyi mkaao Shafiri. Wale waishio Saanani hawatatoka nje. Beth-Eseli iko katika maombolezo; kinga yake imeondolewa kwako.
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.
Wale waishio Marothi wanagaagaa kwa maumivu wakingoja msaada, kwa sababu maangamizi yamekuja kutoka kwa Bwana, hata katika lango la 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.
Enyi mkaao Lakishi, fungeni farasi kwenye magari ya vita. Mlikuwa chanzo cha dhambi kwa Binti Sayuni, kwa kuwa makosa ya Israeli yalikutwa kwako.
14 Therefore you will give parting gifts to Moresheth Gath [the] houses of Aczib [will become] a deceitful thing to [the] kings of Israel.
Kwa hiyo utaipa Moresheth-Gathi zawadi za kuagana. Mji wa Akzibu utaonyesha wazi udanganyifu kwa wafalme wa 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.
Nitawaleteeni atakayewashinda ninyi mnaoishi Maresha. Yeye aliye utukufu wa Israeli atakuja 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.
Nyoeni nywele zenu katika kuomboleza kwa ajili ya watoto wenu mnaowafurahia; jifanyieni upara kama tai, kwa kuwa watawaacha na kwenda uhamishoni.
