Micah 2
1 Woe to those who plan iniquity, to those who plan on their beds to do evil. In the morning light they do it because they have power.
Tsoka kwa amene amakonzekera chiwembu, kwa amene amakonzekera kuchita zoyipa usiku pa mabedi awo! Kukacha mmawa amakachitadi chifukwa ali ndi mphamvu zochitira zimenezo.
2 They desire fields and seize them; they desire houses and take them. They oppress a man and his house, a man and his inheritance.
Amasirira minda ndi kuyilanda, amasirira nyumba ndi kuzilanda. Amatenga nyumba ya munthu mwachinyengo, munthu mnzawo kumulanda cholowa chake.
3 Therefore Yahweh says this, “Look, I am about to bring disaster against this clan, from which you will not remove your necks. You will not walk arrogantly, for it will be an evil time.
Nʼchifukwa chake Yehova akuti, “Ine ndikukonzekera kubweretsa tsoka pa anthu awa, tsoka limene simudzatha kudzipulumutsa nokha. Inu simudzayendanso monyada, pakuti idzakhala nthawi ya masautso.
4 In that day men will sing a song about you, and lament with a wailing lamentation. They will sing, 'We Israelites are completely ruined; Yahweh changes the territory of my people. How can he remove it from me? He portions out our fields to traitors!'”
Tsiku limenelo anthu adzakuchitani chipongwe; adzakunyogodolani ndi nyimbo iyi yamaliro: ‘Tawonongeka kotheratu; dziko la anthu anga lagawidwa. Iye wandilanda! Wapereka minda yathu kwa anthu otiwukira.’”
5 Therefore, you rich people will have no descendants to divide up the territory by lot in the assembly of Yahweh.
Nʼchifukwa chake simudzakhala ndi munthu mu msonkhano wa Yehova kuti agawe dziko pochita maere.
6 “Do not prophesy,” they say. “They must not prophesy these things; reproaches must not come.”
Aneneri awo amanena kuti, “Usanenere! Usanenere ndi pangʼono pomwe zimenezi; ife sitidzachititsidwa manyazi.”
7 Should it really be said, house of Jacob, “Is the Spirit of Yahweh angry? Are these really his deeds?” Do not my words do good to anyone who walks uprightly?
Inu nyumba ya Yakobo, monga zimenezi ndi zoyenera kuzinena: “Kodi Mzimu wa Yehova wakwiya? Kodi Iye amachita zinthu zotere?” “Kodi mawu ake sabweretsa zabwino kwa amene amayenda molungama?
8 Lately my people have risen up like an enemy. You strip the robe, the garment, from those who pass by unsuspectingly, as soldiers return from war to what they think is safety.
Posachedwapa anthu anga andiwukira ngati mdani. Mumawavula mkanjo wamtengowapatali anthu amene amadutsa mosaopa kanthu, monga anthu amene akubwera ku nkhondo.
9 You drive the women belonging to my people from their pleasant houses; you take my blessing from their young children forever.
Mumatulutsa akazi a anthu anga mʼnyumba zawo zabwino. Mumalanda ana awo madalitso anga kosatha.
10 Get up and leave, for this is not a place where you can stay, because of its uncleanness; it is destroyed with complete destruction.
Nyamukani, chokani! Pakuti ano si malo anu opumulirapo, chifukwa ayipitsidwa, awonongedwa, sangatheke kuwakonzanso.
11 If someone comes to you in a spirit of falsehood and lies and says, “I will prophesy to you about wine and strong drink,” he would be considered to be a prophet for this people.
Ngati munthu wabodza ndi wachinyengo abwera nʼkunena kuti, ‘Ine ndidzanenera ndipo mudzakhala ndi vinyo ndi mowa wambiri, woteroyo adzakhala mneneri amene anthu awa angamukonde!’
12 I will surely assemble all of you, Jacob. I will surely gather the remnant of Israel. I will bring them together like sheep in a fold, like a flock in the midst of their pasture. There will be a loud noise because of the multitude of people.
“Inu banja la Yakobo, ndidzakusonkhanitsani nonse; ndidzawasonkhanitsa pamodzi otsala a ku Israeli. Ndidzawabweretsa pamodzi ngati nkhosa mʼkhola, ngati ziweto pa msipu wake; malowo adzadzaza ndi chinamtindi cha anthu.
13 Someone who breaks open their way for them will go ahead of them. They break through the gate and go out; their king will pass on before them. Yahweh will be at their head.
Amene adzawapulumutse adzayenda patsogolo pawo; iwo adzathyola chipata ndipo adzatuluka. Mfumu yawo idzawatsogolera, Yehova adzakhala patsogolo pawo.”
