< 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.
Ahụhụ na-adịrị ndị na-eche ihe ọjọọ nʼobi ha, na ndị niile na-edina nʼakwa ha na-eche ajọ echiche. Mgbe chi bọrọ, ha na-arụzu ihe ha chepụtara, nʼihi na ikike imezu ya dị nʼaka ha.
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.
Ha na-enwe anya ukwu nʼebe ubi ndị ọzọ dị, were ha nʼaka ike, na ụlọ dị iche iche, ha ewere ha nʼike. Ha na-ejikwa aka ike nara ndị mmadụ ụlọ ha, ha na-ezunara ha ihe nketa ha.
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.
Nʼihi nke a, Onyenwe anyị na-asị, “Lee, ana m akwado ihe ọjọọ megide agbụrụ a, nke unu na-enweghị ike isite na ya wezuga onwe unu. Unu agaghị eji nganga na-ejegharịkwa, nʼihi na ọ ga-abụ oge ọjọọ.
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!'”
Nʼụbọchị ahụ ha ga-akọcha unu, ha ga-abụrụ unu abụ iru ụjụ iji ya kọchaa unu na-asị, ‘Anyị abụrụla ndị lara nʼiyi, e kesaala ihe nnweta nke ndị m, ọ napụla m ha. O werela ubi anyị nyefee ha nʼaka ndị ahụ meriri anyị nʼagha.’”
5 Therefore, you rich people will have no descendants to divide up the territory by lot in the assembly of Yahweh.
Nʼihi ya, ọ dịkwaghị onye ga-afọdụ nʼetiti ọgbakọ nke Onyenwe anyị, onye ga-eji ihe ọtụtụ kee ala ahụ site nʼife nza.
6 “Do not prophesy,” they say. “They must not prophesy these things; reproaches must not come.”
Ndị amụma ha na-asị, “Unu ebukwala amụma.” “Unu ebukwala amụma banyere ihe ndị a, ihere agaghị eme anyị.”
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?
Ụdị ihe a o kwesiri okwukwu, gị ụlọ Jekọb? “Ntachiobi Onyenwe anyị ọ gwụla? Ihe ndị a ọ bụ otu o si eme?” “Ọ bụ na okwu m adịghị eme onye ụzọ ya ziri ezi mma?
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.
Ma ọ bụ unu na-ebili megide ndị m dịka ndị iro. Unu na-eyipụ ndị na-agafe agafe uwe ọma ha yi nʼahụ ha na-enweghị mmetụta, dịka a ga-asị na unu bụ ndị si nʼagha na-alọta.
9 You drive the women belonging to my people from their pleasant houses; you take my blessing from their young children forever.
Unu na-achụpụ ndị inyom ndị m site nʼụlọ afọ ojuju ha. Ụmụ ha ka unu na-anapụ ngọzị m ruo mgbe ebighị ebi.
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.
Bilienụ, pụọnụ, nʼihi na ebe a abụkwaghị ebe izuike, nʼihi na-emerụọla ya, e bibiela ya, o bibikwaala, ruo na-ịrụzi ya agaghị adị ire.
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.
Ọ bụrụ na otu onye abịa buoro unu amụma ụgha na-asị, ‘Aga m eburu unu amụma banyere mmanya na ihe ọṅụṅụ siri ike,’ ọ bụ onye amụma dị otu a ka ndị a chọrọ.
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.
“Aga m achịkọta unu niile, gị Jekọb, aga m akpọkọta ndị niile fọdụrụ nʼIzrel nʼotu ebe. Aga m akpọkọta ha dịka atụrụ nʼime ọgba anụ, dịka igwe ewu na atụrụ nʼebe ịta nri ya, ndị mmadụ ga-ejupụtakwa nʼebe ahụ.
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.
Onye ahụ na-egbuwa ụzọ ga-anọ nʼihu na-edu ha. Ha ga-etipukwa ọnụ ụzọ ama ahụ, ma site na ya gafee. Eze ha ga-agabigakwa nʼihu ha, Onyenwe anyị ga-anọ nʼisi.”
