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.
Warra daba karoorfatan kanneen siree isaanii irra ciisanii hammina yaadaniif wayyoo! Sababii waan kana hojjechuun humna isaanii jala jiruuf isaan ifa bariitiin kaʼanii waan sana hojjetu.
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.
Isaan lafa qotiisaa kajeelanii qabatu; manneenis akkasuma kajeelanii fudhatu. Isaan gowwoomsaadhaan mana namaa, dhaala isaas ni fudhatu.
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.
Kanaafuu Waaqayyo akkana jedha; “Kunoo ani balaa isin jalaa baʼuu hin dandeenye tokko saba kanatti fiduuf karoorfadheen jira. Isin siʼachi of tuulummaadhaan jiraachuu hin dandeessan; yeroon kun yeroo rakkinaa taʼaatii.
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.’”
Bara sana keessa namoonni isinitti gaʼisu; akkana jedhaniis faaruu booʼichaa kanaan isinitti qoosu; ‘Nu guutumaan guutuutti barbadoofneerra; qabeenyi saba kootiis gargar qooddatameera. Inni narraa fudhata! Lafa qotiisaa keenya warra nu moʼataniif kenna.’”
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.
Kanaafuu ati nama ixaadhaan lafa qoodu tokko illee waldaa Waaqayyoo keessaa hin qabaattu.
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]!”
Raajonni isaanii, “Isin raajii hin dubbatinaa; waaʼee waan kanaa raajii hin dubbatinaa; salphinni nutti hin dhufu” jedhu.
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.
Yaa mana Yaaqoob, “Wanni kun akkana jedhamuu qabaa? Hafuurri Waaqayyoo obsa hin qabuu? Inni waan akkasii ni hojjetaa?” “Nama karaan isaa qajeelaa taʼeef dubbiin koo waan gaarii hin hojjetuu?
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!
Sabni koo akka diinaatti kaʼeera. Isin namoota yaaddoo malee achiin darban kanneen duulaa galaa jiran irraa uffata baafattu.
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.
Isin dubartoota saba kootii manneen isaanii babbareedoo keessaa ariitu. Eebba koos bara baraan ijoollee isaanii irraa fudhattu.
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.
Kaʼaatii asii deemaa! Iddoon kun lafa boqonnaa keessanii miti; isheen xurooftee diigamtee baddeerti.
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.”
Namni sobaa fi gowwoomsaan tokko yoo dhufee, ‘Ani waaʼee daadhii wayiniitii fi dhugaatii cimaa raajii siif nan dubbadha’ jedhe; inni raajii saba kanaa taʼa!
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.
“Yaa Yaaqoob, ani dhugumaan isin hunda walitti nan qaba; ani hambaa Israaʼel walitti nan fida. Ani akkuma hoolota gola keessaatti, akkuma bushaayee lafa dheedaa jiraniitti walitti isaan nan fida; lafti sunis tuuta namaatiin guutamti.
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!”
Inni cabsee karaa baasu fuula isaanii dura deema; isaan cabsanii karraan baʼu. Mootiin isaanii isaan dura baʼa; Waaqayyo fuula isaanii dura deema.”
