Micah 2
1 Woe [to] those devising iniquity, And working evil on their beds, In the light of the morning they do it, For their hand is — to God.
Tsoka kwa amene amakonzekera chiwembu, kwa amene amakonzekera kuchita zoyipa usiku pa mabedi awo! Kukacha mmawa amakachitadi chifukwa ali ndi mphamvu zochitira zimenezo.
2 And they have desired fields, And they have taken violently, And houses, and they have taken away, And have oppressed a man and his house, Even 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, thus said Jehovah: Lo, I am devising against this family evil, From which ye do not remove your necks, Nor walk loftily, for a time of evil it [is].
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 doth [one] take up for you a simile, And he hath wailed a wailing of woe, He hath said, We have been utterly spoiled, The portion of my people He doth change, How doth He move toward me! To the backslider our fields He apportioneth.
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, thou hast no caster of a line by lot In the assembly of Jehovah.
Nʼchifukwa chake simudzakhala ndi munthu mu msonkhano wa Yehova kuti agawe dziko pochita maere.
6 Ye do not prophesy — they do prophesy, They do not prophesy to these, It doth not remove shame.
Aneneri awo amanena kuti, “Usanenere! Usanenere ndi pangʼono pomwe zimenezi; ife sitidzachititsidwa manyazi.”
7 Doth the house of Jacob say, 'Hath the Spirit of Jehovah been shortened? Are these His doings?' Do not My words benefit the people that is walking 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 And yesterday My people for an enemy doth raise himself up, From the outer garment the honourable ornament ye strip off, From the confident passers by, Ye who are turning back from war.
Posachedwapa anthu anga andiwukira ngati mdani. Mumawavula mkanjo wamtengowapatali anthu amene amadutsa mosaopa kanthu, monga anthu amene akubwera ku nkhondo.
9 The women of My people ye cast out from its delightful house, From its sucklings ye take away My honour to the age.
Mumatulutsa akazi a anthu anga mʼnyumba zawo zabwino. Mumalanda ana awo madalitso anga kosatha.
10 Rise and go, for this [is] not the rest, Because of uncleanness it doth corrupt, And corruption is powerful.
Nyamukani, chokani! Pakuti ano si malo anu opumulirapo, chifukwa ayipitsidwa, awonongedwa, sangatheke kuwakonzanso.
11 If one is going [with] the wind, And [with] falsehood hath lied: 'I prophesy to thee of wine, and of strong drink,' He hath been the prophet of 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 do surely gather thee, O Jacob, all of thee, I surely bring together the remnant of Israel, Together I do set it as the flock of Bozrah, As a drove in the midst of its pasture, It maketh a noise because of man.
“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 Gone up hath the breaker before them, They have broken through, Yea, they pass through the gate, Yea, they go out through it, And pass on doth their king before them, And Jehovah at their head!
Amene adzawapulumutse adzayenda patsogolo pawo; iwo adzathyola chipata ndipo adzatuluka. Mfumu yawo idzawatsogolera, Yehova adzakhala patsogolo pawo.”
