Micah 7
1 Woe is me! for I am as when they have gathered the summer fruits, as the grape-gleanings of the vintage: [there is] no cluster to eat: my soul desired the first ripe fruit.
Mayɛ mmɔbɔ! Mete sɛ aduaba tefoɔ a otwa berɛ akyi mekɔdi mpɛpɛ wɔ bobe turo mu; mennya bobe siaw na madi, borɔdɔma aba a ɛdi ɛkan a me kɔn dɔ nso, saa ara.
2 The good [man] hath perished from the earth: and [there is] none upright among men: they all lie in wait for blood; they hunt every man his brother with a net.
Moapra Nyamefɛrefoɔ nyinaa afiri asase so. Anka ɔbaako a ɔtene mpo. Nnipa nyinaa tetɛ na wɔhwehwɛ sɛ wɔbɛka mogya agu; wɔsunsum wɔn ho wɔn ho mfidie.
3 That they may do evil with both hands earnestly, the prince asketh, and the judge [asketh] for a reward; and the great [man], he uttereth his mischievous desire: so they wrap it up.
Nsa mmienu no nyinaa akokwa bɔneyɛ mu; sodifoɔ bisa akyɛdeɛ, ɔtemmufoɔ gye adanmudeɛ, wɔn a tumi wɔ wɔn nsa mu no yɛ deɛ wɔpɛ, wɔn nyinaa bɔ mu dwene amumuyɛ ho.
4 The best of them [is] as a brier: the most upright [is sharper] than a thorn hedge: the day of thy watchmen [and] thy visitation cometh; now shall be their perplexity.
Deɛ ɔyɛ wɔ wɔn mu no te sɛ hwerɛmo; deɛ ɔtene pa ara no, nkasɛɛ ban yɛ sene no. Wʼatɛmmuda no aso, ɛda a Onyankopɔn reba wo nsrahwɛ. Yei ne ɛberɛ a wɔn ani so bɛyɛ wɔn totɔtotɔ.
5 Trust ye not in a friend, put ye not confidence in a guide: keep the doors of thy mouth from her that lieth in thy bosom.
Nnye obiara nni; mfa wo werɛ nhyɛ adamfo mu. Mpo ɔbaa a ɔda wo koko mu no to wo tɛkrɛma nnareka wɔ ne ho.
6 For the son dishonoreth the father, the daughter riseth up against her mother, the daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law; a man's enemies [are] the men of his own house.
Ɔbabarima twiri nʼagya, Ɔbabaa sɔre tia ne maame, asebaa nso tia nʼase na onipa biara atamfoɔ bɛfiri ɔno ankasa ne fiefoɔ mu.
7 Therefore I will look to the LORD; I will wait for the God of my salvation: my God will hear me.
Me deɛ, mede anidasoɔ hwɛ Awurade, Metwɛn me Nkwagyeɛ Onyankopɔn; na me Onyankopɔn bɛtie me.
8 Rejoice not against me, O my enemy: when I fall, I shall arise; when I sit in darkness, the LORD [will be] a light to me.
Mma wʼani nnye, me ɔtamfoɔ! Mahwe ase deɛ, nanso mɛsɔre. Esum aduru me deɛ, nanso Awurade bɛyɛ me hann.
9 I will bear the indignation of the LORD, because I have sinned against him, until he shall plead my cause, and execute judgment for me: he will bring me forth to the light, [and] I shall behold his righteousness.
Sɛ mayɛ bɔne atia no enti, Awurade abufuo bɛba me so, kɔsi sɛ ɔbɛka mʼasɛm ama me na wada me bembuo adi. Ɔde me bɛba hann no mu; na mɛhunu ne tenenee.
10 Then [she that is] my enemy shall see [it], and shame shall cover her who said to me, Where is the LORD thy God? my eyes shall behold her: now shall she be trodden down as the mire of the streets.
Afei, mʼatamfoɔ bɛhunu na wɔn ani bɛwu, deɛ ɔsee me sɛ, “Ɛhe na Awurade wo Onyankopɔn no wɔ?” Mʼani bɛhunu nʼahweaseɛ; mpo seesei no, wɔbɛtiatia ne so te sɛ atɛkyɛ a ɛwɔ mmɔntene so.
11 [In] the day that thy walls are to be built, [in] that day shall the decree be far removed.
Ɛda a wɔbɛto wʼafasuo no bɛba, ɛda a wɔbɛtrɛ wʼahyeɛ mu.
12 [In] that day [also] he shall come even to thee from Assyria, and [from] the fortified cities, and from the fortress even to the river, and from sea to sea, and [from] mountain to mountain.
Ɛda no, nnipa bɛba wo nkyɛn firi Asiria ne Misraim nkuropɔn mu, mpo wɔbɛfiri Misraim akɔsi Eufrate afiri ɛpo akɔsi ɛpo ne bepɔ so akɔsi bepɔ so.
13 Notwithstanding the land shall be desolate because of them that dwell in it, for the fruit of their doings.
Asase no bɛyɛ amanfo ɛsiane nnipa a wɔtete so ne wɔn nneyɛɛ enti.
14 Feed thy people with thy rod, the flock of thy heritage, who dwell solitarily [in] the wood, in the midst of Carmel: let them feed [in] Bashan and Gilead, as in the days of old.
Fa wo poma di wo nkurɔfoɔ anim, nnwan a wɔyɛ wʼagyapadeɛ no, a wɔn nko ara tete kwaeɛ mu wira frɔmfrɔm adidibea hɔ. Ma wɔn nnidi wɔ Basan ne Gilead sɛ tete nna no mu.
15 According to the days of thy departure from the land of Egypt will I show to him marvelous [things].
“Mɛyɛ anwanwadeɛ akyerɛ wo, sɛdeɛ meyɛɛ nna a wofiri Misraim baeɛ mu no.”
16 The nations shall see and be confounded at all their might: they shall lay [their] hand upon [their] mouth, their ears shall be deaf.
Aman bɛhunu wo na wɔn ani bɛwu, wɔn a tumi nyinaa afiri wɔn nsa no. Wɔde wɔn nsa bɛtuatua wɔn ano na wɔn aso bɛsisi.
17 They shall lick the dust like a serpent, they shall move out of their holes like worms of the earth: they shall be afraid of the LORD our God, and shall fear because of thee.
Wɔbɛdi dɔteɛ sɛ awɔ, ne mmoa a wɔwea fam. Wɔde ahopopoɔ bɛfiri wɔn abɔn mu aba; wɔde suro bɛdane wɔn ho ama Awurade yɛn Onyankopɔn, na wɔbɛsuro wo.
18 Who [is] a God like to thee, that pardoneth iniquity, and passeth by the transgression of the remnant of his heritage? he retaineth not his anger for ever, because he delighteth [in] mercy.
Hwan na ɔte sɛ wo, Onyankopɔn a wode bɔne kyɛ? Wo a wode agyanom asefoɔ nkaeɛ amumuyɛ kyɛ wɔn. Wʼabofuo nntena hɔ daa na mmom wʼani gye sɛ wobɛda mmɔborɔhunu adi.
19 He will turn again, he will have compassion upon us; he will subdue our iniquities; and thou wilt cast all their sins into the depths of the sea.
Wobɛhunu yɛn mmɔbɔ bio, wobɛtiatia yɛn bɔne so, na woato yɛn amumuyɛ agu ɛpo bunu mu.
20 Thou wilt perform the truth to Jacob, [and] the mercy to Abraham, which thou hast sworn to our fathers from the days of old.
Wobɛyɛ nokwafoɔ ama Yakob na wahunu Abraham mmɔbɔ sɛdeɛ wokaa yɛn agyanom ntam teteete no.
