< Micah 2 >

1 Terrible things will happen to you who lie awake at night, planning to do wicked things. You get up at dawn, and you do those things, [as soon as] you are able to do them.
Amo mae golale sidagane esala wadela: i hou hamomusa: ilegelalebe dunu ilia da se bagade nabimu! Soge da hadigila dasea, ilia da hamomu dibi ba: sea, ilia da ili wadela: i hou hamomusa: ilegei amo defele hamosa.
2 You want fields [that belong to other people], so you seize them; you also take their houses. You cheat people to get their homes, taking away the property that belongs to their families.
Ilia da soge lamusa: dawa: sea, ilia da amo soge ilia suguli lasa. Ilia da diasu lamusa: dawa: sea, ilia da amo diasu lasa. Dunu afae ea sosogo amola liligi da noga: le dialebe da hamedafa ba: sa.
3 Therefore, this is what Yahweh says: “I will cause you people to experience disasters, and you will not be able to escape [MTY] from them. You will no [longer] walk around proudly, because when those things happen, it will be a time of much trouble for you.
Amaiba: le Hina Gode da amane sia: sa, “Na da dilima gugunufinisisu hou dilima imunusa: ilegelala, amasea dilia da amoga hobeale masunu logo hamedafa ba: mu. Dilia da dilisu fawane bidi hamosu ganodini esalebe ba: mu, amasea dilia da hahawane hidala ahoasu amo bu hame hamomu.
4 At that time, [your enemies] will make fun of you; they will ridicule you by singing this sad song about you: ‘We are completely ruined; Yahweh is taking our land/fields from us, and he will give it to those who will capture us.’”
Amo esoha da doaga: sea, dunu ilia da gugunufinisisu hou dilima doaga: i, dunu eno gugunufinisisu hou dawa: digima: ne ilima adodolalumu, amola ilia dilima hamoi amo dadawa: lu, heawini goe gesami hea: mu; “Nini da dafawanedafa wadela: lesi dagoi. Hina Gode da ninia soge amo lale fasi. Amalu amo soge, bu ninima hohonosu dunu amo iligili iasi dagoi.”
5 So [when it is the time for the land to be given back to you] people who belong to Yahweh, there will be no one [MTY] who will be able to (cast lots/throw marked stones) to determine which land belongs to whom.
Amaiba: le, soge amo da bu Hina Gode Ea fidafa dunu ilima bu imunu esoha doaga: sea, dunu afae diliga da amo soge amoga afae hame lamu.
6 The people [who heard me say that] replied to me, “Do not prophesy such things! Do not say that [Yahweh] is going to humiliate us [by causing us to experience disasters]!”
Dunu ilia da nama olelelala, agoane sia: sa, “Ninima mae olelema! Amo huluane mae olelema! Gode da nini gogosiama: ne hame hamomu!
7 But you people [MTY] of Israel should not [RHQ] talk like that! The Spirit of Yahweh will certainly not [RHQ] be patient [with people who say such things]! People who continually do things that are righteous will certainly [RHQ] like/appreciate what I say.
Dilia dawa: lobada, Isala: ili fi dunu da aligima: ne gagabui amoha esalabala? Hina Gode Ea asaboi hou amo da yolebela: ? E da dafawane amo se iasu liligi hahamoma: bela: ? E da moloidafa hamobe dunu ilima asigili hame sia: nanabela: ?”
8 [But Yahweh says], “[Recently] my people have been acting toward me like an enemy. When soldiers return from fighting [against their enemies], you [rich people refuse to return the coats of those poor soldiers who have borrowed money from you] [and given you their coats to guarantee that they will pay back the money that they borrowed from you]. [It is as though] you are waiting to forcefully take their coats off their backs!
Hina Gode da dabe sia: sa, “Dilia da Na dunuma ha lai agoane doagala: sa! Dunu ilia da gegenanu ili diasuga buhagibiba: le ilia da gaga: i dagoi amane dadawa: dudala, be amoga dilia da ilia anegagi abula amo ilia baligidu wamolamusa: oulelefula.
9 You have forced women to leave their nice homes, and you have stolen from their children forever the (blessings/good things) that I wanted to give them.
Dilia da na fi dunu ilia uda amo huluane ili hanai soge amoga esalu, amo oule sese ahoa, amola dilia da Na eso huluane hahawane fidisu hou amo Na da ilia manoma hamoi, amo lale fasi dagoi.
10 [So] get up and leave [here]! This is not a place where you can rest [and be safe/protected], because you have (defiled it/caused it to be a place that I hate); it will be completely destroyed.
Wa: legadole masa! Goeguda: da gaga: su hamedafa gala! Dilia da wadela: le hamobeba: le, Na da amo soge gugunufinisimusa: ilegei dagoi!
11 [You people want] a prophet who will lie to you, saying ‘I will preach [that you should drink] plenty of wine and [other] alcoholic drinks!’ That is the [kind of] prophet who [would please] you.”
Amo dunu ilia da ogogole olelesu balofede dunu hanai gala. Agoai balofede da agoane ba: lala, “Na ba: laloba amo waini hano da dilia moma: ne, hano agoane ai masunu.
12 “[But some day], you descendants of Jacob, you Israeli people who have survived, I will bring you back [from (exile/other countries)], I will gather you together like [SIM] [a shepherd gathers his] sheep from the pasture into a pen [DOU]; there will be many of you in your land/country.
Be Na fi dunu! Na da dili Isala: ili hame bogoi esalebe dunu amo dili gilisilisimu. Sibi da ilia gagoiga buhagibi, amo defele Na da dili gagadole, dilia sogega bu oule masunu. Sibi da gisi noga: i sogebi amogai gilisibi defele, dilia soge da dunu bagohamedafa amoga nabai ba: mu.”
13 Your leader will enable them to leave the countries where they have been exiled; he will lead them out of the gates [of their enemies’ cities], [back to your own country]. Your king will lead them; [it is I], Yahweh, who will be their king!”
Gode da Ea fidafa ilia buhagima: ne logo doasimu. Ilia mugululi asi amo fisili, Gode Hi da ilima bisili gadili oule masunu. Ilia da moilai logo holei fili asili, hahawane udigili masunu. Ilia Hina Bagade, Hina Gode Hisu, da ili bisili gadili oule masunu.
