< Micah 2 >

1 Woe to them that devise iniquity, and work evil upon their beds! when the morning is light, they practise it, because it is in the power of their hand.
Lozan’ izay mamoron-keloka sy misaintsain-dratsy ao am-pandriany! Ary nony maraina ny andro, dia manatanteraka izany izy, Satria manan-kery ny tànany.
2 And they covet fields, and take them by violence; and houses, and take them away: so they oppress a man and his house, even a man and his heritage.
Ary mitsiriritra saha izy ka maka izany an-keriny, Sy trano koa ka mahalasa azy; Ary mampahory olona mbamin’ ny ankohonany izy, Dia ny olona mbamin’ ny lovany.
3 Therefore thus saith the LORD; Behold, against this family do I devise an evil, from which ye shall not remove your necks; neither shall ye go haughtily: for this time is evil.
Koa izao no lazain’ i Jehovah: Indro, mamorona loza hamelezana ity firenena ity Aho, Izay tsy hahazoanareo hanafaka ny vozonareo, Ka tsy handeha miandranandrana ianareo, Satria andro mampahory izany.
4 In that day shall one take up a parable against you, and lament with a grievous lamentation, and say, We are utterly wasted: he hath changed the portion of my people: how hath he removed it from me! turning away he hath divided our fields.
Amin’ izany andro izany no hanaovana oha-teny handatsana anareo, Ka hitomaniana sy hidradradradrana hoe: Efa levona izao! Eny, hiteny izy hoe: Fongana tokoa isika; Ataony fanakalo zavatra ny anjaran’ ny oloko; Endrey! afindrany hiala amiko izany! Samy zarainy ho an’ ny mpiodina avy ny tanintsika!
5 Therefore thou shalt have none that shall cast a cord by lot in the congregation of the LORD.
Koa tsy hisy aminao hanenjana famolaina akory hanaovana filokana Ao amin’ ny fiangonan’ i Jehovah.
6 Prophesy ye not, say they to them that prophesy: they shall not prophesy to them, that they shall not take shame.
Aza miteniteny ianareo, hoy ny fiteniteniny; Aoka tsy hiteniteny ny amin’ ireto izy, Tsy hita lany ny fanalam-baraka ataony!
7 O thou that art named the house of Jacob, is the spirit of the LORD shortened? are these his doings? do not my words do good to him that walketh uprightly?
He! izany teny izany! Ry taranak’ i Jakoba, Malaky tezitra va ny Fanahin’ i Jehovah? Ireto va no asa fanaony? Tsy mahasoa izay mandeha mahitsy va ny teniko?
8 Even of late my people hath risen up as an enemy: ye pull off the robe with the garment from them that pass by securely as men averse to war.
Vao omaly no omaly no nitsanganan’ ny oloko ho fahavalo; Hendahanareo hiala eo amin’ ny lamba ny kapôtin’ izay mandeha tsy manana ahiahy, Dia izay tsy tia ady.
9 The women of my people have ye cast out from their pleasant houses; from their children have ye taken away my glory for ever.
Ny vehivavy eo amin’ ny oloko dia roahinareo hiala amin’ ny tranony mahafinaritra; Esorinareo hiala mandrakizay amin’ ny zanany madinika ny voninahitro.
10 Arise ye, and depart; for this is not your rest: because it is polluted, it shall destroy you, even with a grievous destruction.
Mitsangàna, ka mialà (Fa tsy eto no fitsaharana), Satria misy fahalotoana mahatonga fandringanana eto, eny, fandringanana mafy.
11 If a man walking in the spirit and falsehood doth lie, saying, I will prophesy to thee of wine and of strong drink; he shall even be the prophet of this people.
Raha misy manaraka ny rivotra sy ny lainga ka mandainga hoe: Hitori-teny’ aminao ny amin’ ny divay sy ny zava-mahamamo aho, Dia izy no ho mpitori-tenin ity firenena ity.
12 I will surely assemble, O Jacob, all of thee; I will surely gather the remnant of Israel; I will put them together as the sheep of Bozrah, as the flock in the midst of their fold: they shall make great noise by reason of the multitude of men.
Hamory anareo rehetra tokoa Aho, ry Jakoba, Ary hanangona ny sisa amin’ ny Isiraely tokoa, Hakambako toy ny ondry any amin’ ny vala izy, Toy ny ondry andiany ao amin’ ny tany fiandrasana; Hitabataba izy noho ny hamaroan’ ny olona.
13 The breaker is come up before them: they have broken up, and have passed through the gate, and have gone out by it: and their king shall pass before them, and the LORD on the head of them.
Ny mpanabanga miakatra eo alohany, Manabanga izy ka mandroso ho eo amin’ ny vavahady, Dia mivoaka eo aminy; Ny mpanjakany mandroso eo alohany, Ary Jehovah no mitarika azy.
