Mika 1
1 Ĩno nĩyo ndũmĩrĩri ya Jehova ĩrĩa yakinyĩrĩire Mika ũrĩa warĩ wa itũũra rĩa Moreshethu, ĩkoniĩ Samaria na Jerusalemu, hĩndĩ ya ũthamaki wa Jothamu, na wa Ahazu, na wa Hezekia, athamaki a Juda.
THE word of the Lord that came to Micah the Morasthite in the days of Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah, which he saw concerning Samaria and Jerusalem.
2 Atĩrĩrĩ, ta thikĩrĩriai inyuĩ andũ aya inyuothe; o nawe thĩ ta igua, na arĩa othe matũũraga kuo, nĩgeetha Mwathani Jehova arute ũira wa kũmũũkĩrĩra, o we Mwathani arĩ thĩinĩ wa hekarũ yake theru.
Hear, all ye people; hearken, O earth, and all that therein is: and let the Lord God be witness against you, the Lord from his holy temple.
3 Atĩrĩrĩ! Jehova nĩarooka oimĩte gĩikaro gĩake; araikũrũka arangĩrĩrie kũrĩa gũtũũgĩru gũkũ thĩ.
For, behold, the Lord cometh forth out of his place, and will come down, and tread upon the high places of the earth.
4 Irĩma itwekaga irĩ rungu rwake, nayo mĩkuru ĩgaatũkana; itwekaga ta mũhũra ũrĩ mwaki-inĩ, igaikũrũka ta maaĩ maikũrũkĩte na ihenya kĩgaragaro-inĩ.
And the mountains shall be molten under him, and the valleys shall be cleft, as wax before the fire, and as the waters that are poured down a steep place.
5 Ũndũ ũyũ wonekete nĩ ũndũ wa ũremi wa Jakubu, na nĩ ũndũ wa mehia ma nyũmba ya Isiraeli. Ũremi wa Jakubu-rĩ, nĩ ũrĩkũ? Githĩ ti Samaria? Kũndũ kũrĩa gũtũũgĩru kwa Juda-rĩ, nĩ kũ? Githĩ ti Jerusalemu?
For the transgression of Jacob is all this, and for the sins of the house of Israel. What is the transgression of Jacob? is it not Samaria? and what are the high places of Judah? are they not Jerusalem?
6 “Nĩ ũndũ ũcio, ngaatua Samaria hĩba ya mahiga, gũtuĩke kũndũ gwa kũhaandagwo mĩthabibũ. Nĩngaita mahiga marĩo mũkuru-inĩ na thikũrie mĩthingi yarĩo.
Therefore I will make Samaria as an heap of the field, and as plantings of a vineyard: and I will pour down the stones thereof into the valley, and I will discover the foundations thereof.
7 Mĩhianano yarĩo yothe nĩĩkoinangwo icunjĩ; nacio iheo ciothe cia hekarũ yarĩo icinwo na mwaki. Nĩngananga mĩhianano yothe yarĩo. Tondũ rĩonganirie iheo ciarĩo kuuma mũcaara wa ũmaraya, na igaatũmĩrwo rĩngĩ irĩ mũcaara wa kũrĩha maraya.”
And all the graven images thereof shall be beaten to pieces, and all the hires thereof shall be burned with the fire, and all the idols thereof will I lay desolate: for she gathered it of the hire of an harlot, and they shall return to the hire of an harlot.
8 Tondũ ũcio-rĩ, ngũrĩra na ngirĩke, na thiĩ ndĩ magũrũ matheri na ndĩ njaga. Ngũgirĩka o ta mbwe, na ndĩre ta ndundu.
Therefore I will wail and howl, I will go stripped and naked: I will make a wailing like the dragons, and mourning as the owls.
9 Nĩgũkorwo kĩronda kĩarĩo gĩtingĩhona; gĩũkĩte gĩgakinya Juda. Nĩgĩkinyĩte o kĩhingo‑inĩ kĩa andũ akwa, gĩgakinya Jerusalemu kuo kwene.
For her wound is incurable; for it is come unto Judah; he is come unto the gate of my people, even to Jerusalem.
10 Mũtikaheane ũhoro ũcio kũu Gathu, mũtikarĩre o na hanini. Ningĩ kũu Bethi-Ofara mwĩgaragariei rũkũngũ‑inĩ.
Declare ye it not at Gath, weep ye not at all: in the house of Aphrah roll thyself in the dust.
11 Inyuĩ andũ arĩa mũtũũraga Shafiri, thiĩi mũrĩ njaga na mũconokete. Andũ arĩa matũũraga Zaanani matingiuma itũũra rĩao. Narĩo itũũra rĩa Bethi-Ezeli no gũcaaya rĩracaaya, itũũra rĩu rĩtingĩhota gũkũgitĩra.
Pass ye away, thou inhabitant of Saphir, having thy shame naked: the inhabitant of Zaanan came not forth in the mourning of Beth-ezel; he shall receive of you his standing.
12 Andũ arĩa matũũraga Marothu-rĩ, menyogondaga nĩ ruo, o metereire ũteithio, nĩ ũndũ mwanangĩko ũikũrũkĩte kuuma kũrĩ Jehova, ũgakinya o kĩhingo-inĩ kĩa Jerusalemu.
For the inhabitant of Maroth waited carefully for good: but evil came down from the Lord unto the gate of Jerusalem.
13 Inyuĩ mũtũũraga Lakishi, ngaari cianyu cia ita ciohererei mbarathi. Nĩ inyuĩ mwatoonyirie Mwarĩ wa Zayuni mehia-inĩ, nĩgũkorwo ũremi wa Isiraeli woimanire na inyuĩ.
O thou inhabitant of Lachish, bind the chariot to the swift beast: she is the beginning of the sin to the daughter of Zion: for the transgressions of Israel were found in thee.
14 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio nĩmũkahe Moreshethu-Gathu iheo cia kuuganĩra ũhoro. Itũũra rĩa Akizibu no rĩa kũheenereria athamaki a Isiraeli.
Therefore shalt thou give presents to Moresheth-gath: the houses of Achzib shall be a lie to the kings of Israel.
15 Inyuĩ mũtũũraga Maresha nĩngamũrehithĩria mũndũ wa kũmũũkĩrĩra, amũtoorie. Ũrĩa we ũrĩ Riiri wa Isiraeli nĩagooka Adulamu.
Yet will I bring an heir unto thee, O inhabitant of Mareshah: he shall come unto Adullam the glory of Israel.
16 Enjwoi mĩtwe mũcakaĩre ciana cianyu iria mũkenagĩra; mwĩenjei kĩhara mũhaane ta nderi, nĩgũkorwo ciana icio cianyu nĩigatahwo.
Make thee bald, and poll thee for thy delicate children; enlarge thy baldness as the eagle; for they are gone into captivity from thee.
