Mika 3
1 Eye megblɔ be: “Miɖo to, mi Yakob ƒe kplɔlawo. Mi ame siwo le Israel ƒe aƒe dzi ɖum. Miawoe wòdze be mianya nyui tso vɔ̃ gbɔ
Lapho-ke mina ngathi, “Lalelani lina bakhokheli bakoJakhobe, lina babusi bendlu yako-Israyeli. Ukulunga akumelanga likwazi na,
2 gake miawo boŋue gbe nu le nyui gbɔ eye mielɔ̃ vɔ̃. Mievuvu ayi le nye amewo ŋu ye mievuvu lã le woƒe ƒuwo ŋuti.
lina elizonda okuhle lithande okubi; elixebula isikhumba ebantwini bami lenyama emathanjeni abo;
3 Mieɖu nye amewo katã ƒe lã, vuvu ayi le wo ŋuti, gbã ƒu ɖe lãme na wo eye miefli wo abe ale si woflia adelã dea zee ene.”
lina elibadla inyama abantu bami, lihlubule isikhumba sabo lichoboze lamathambo abo abe yizicucu; elibaqumaquma njengenyama yepani, lanjengenyama yembiza?”
4 Ekema woado ɣli ayɔ Yehowa gake matɔ na wo o eye aɣla eƒe mo ɖe wo ɖe nu vɔ̃ si wowɔ la ta.
Lapho-ke bazakhala kuThixo, kodwa kayikubaphendula. Ngalesosikhathi uzabafihlela ubuso bakhe ngenxa yobubi ababenzileyo.
5 Ale Yehowa gblɔe nye esi: “Mi nyagblɔɖila siwo kplɔa nye amewo tranae; ne ame aɖe na nu wo, woɖu la, wodoa ŋutifafa nɛ; ke ne ame aɖe mena nu wo o la, wohoa aʋa ɖe eŋuti.
Nanku okutshiwo nguThixo: “Okunjengabaphrofethi, abedukisa abantu bami, umuntu angabapha ukudla, bamemezela ‘ukuthula’ nxa engabaphi balungisela ukumhlasela ngempi.
6 Zã ado aƒo xlã mi eye miegale ŋutega kpɔ ge o; viviti atsyɔ mia dzi eye Mawu ƒe gbe mava na mi o. Ɣe aɖo to ɖe mia dzi eye ŋkeke ado viviti na mi.
Ngakho ubusuku buzakwehlela phezu kwenu, kungekho mibono, kanye lomnyama, kungekho kuhlahlula. Ilanga lizabatshonela abaphrofethi, losuku luzakuba mnyama kubo.
7 Miaƒe nukpɔlawo aɖu ŋukpe eye woado ŋukpe miaƒe nukalawo. Woatsɔ asi atsyɔ mo elabena gbe aɖeke metso Mawu gbɔ na wo o.”
Ababonisayo bazayangeka labahlahluli babe lenhloni. Bonke bazamboza ubuso babo ngoba kungelampendulo evela kuNkulunkulu.”
8 Ke nye la, ŋusẽ yɔ menye taŋtaŋ, Yehowa ƒe Gbɔgbɔ le dzinye eya ta matsɔ dzɔdzɔenyenye kple ŋusẽ aɖe gbeƒã Yakob ƒe nu tovowo wɔwɔ kple Israel ƒe nu vɔ̃.
Kodwa mina ngiphiwe amandla, loMoya kaThixo, lokulunga kanye lesibindi, ukuba ngitshele uJakhobe ukona kwakhe lo-Israyeli isono sakhe.
9 Miɖo tom, mi Yakob ƒe aƒe ƒe kplɔlawo kple mi ame siwo le Israel ƒe aƒe dzi ɖum. Mi ame siwo gbe nu le dzɔdzɔenyenye gbɔ eye mietrɔa gbo nu siwo katã le dzɔdzɔe.
Zwanini lokhu lina bakhokheli bendlu kaJakhobe, lani babusi bendlu ka-Israyeli, eleyisa ukulunga lihlanekele konke okuqondileyo;
10 Mi ame siwo tu Zion ɖe ʋukɔkɔɖeanyi dzi kple Yerusalem ɖe vɔ̃ɖinyenye dzi.
elakha iZiyoni ngokuchitha igazi; leJerusalema ngobubi.
11 Miaƒe kplɔlawo xɔa zãnu hafi drɔ̃a ʋɔnu. Miaƒe nunɔlawo fiaa nu ɖe ga si woaxɔ ta eye miaƒe Nyagblɔɖilawo gblɔa nya ɖi ɖe ga ta gake woziɔna ɖe Yehowa ŋu gblɔna be: “Yehowa le mia dome eya ta vɔ̃ aɖeke mawɔ mí o.”
Abakhokheli bayo bahlulela ngokufunjathiswa, abaphristi bayo bafundisela inhlawulo, labaphrofethi bayo baphrofithela imali; ikanti bathembele kuThixo njalo bathi, “Kanti uThixo kakho phakathi kwethu na? Akulancithakalo engasehlela.”
12 Miawo ta woaŋlɔ Zion abe agble ene, Yerusalem azu glikpo gã ɖeka eye to si dzi gbedoxɔ le la azu togbɛ si zu ave.
Ngakho-ke ngenxa yenu, iZiyoni izalinywa njengensimu, iJerusalema izakuba yinqwaba yemfucuza, intaba yethempeli ibe yindunduma eyande izixukwana.
