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.
A word of YHWH that has been to Micah the Morashite in the days of Jotham, Ahaz, Hezekiah, kings of Judah, that he has seen 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, O peoples, all of them! Attend, O earth, and its fullness, And Lord YHWH is against you for a witness, The Lord from His holy temple.
3 Atĩrĩrĩ! Jehova nĩarooka oimĩte gĩikaro gĩake; araikũrũka arangĩrĩrie kũrĩa gũtũũgĩru gũkũ thĩ.
For behold, YHWH is going out from His place, And He has come down, And has trodden on high places of earth.
4 Irĩma itwekaga irĩ rungu rwake, nayo mĩkuru ĩgaatũkana; itwekaga ta mũhũra ũrĩ mwaki-inĩ, igaikũrũka ta maaĩ maikũrũkĩte na ihenya kĩgaragaro-inĩ.
The mountains have been melted under Him, And the valleys split themselves, As wax from the presence of fire, As waters cast down by a slope.
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 the high places of Judah? Is it 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.
“And I have set Samaria for a heap of the field, For plantations of a vineyard, And poured out into a valley her stones, And her foundations I uncover.
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 her carved images are beaten down, And all her wages are burned with fire, And all her idols I make a desolation, For from the wage of a harlot she gathered, and to the wage of a harlot they return.”
8 Tondũ ũcio-rĩ, ngũrĩra na ngirĩke, na thiĩ ndĩ magũrũ matheri na ndĩ njaga. Ngũgirĩka o ta mbwe, na ndĩre ta ndundu.
For this I lament and howl, I go spoiled and naked, I make a lamentation like dragons, And a mourning like daughters of an ostrich.
9 Nĩgũkorwo kĩronda kĩarĩo gĩtingĩhona; gĩũkĩte gĩgakinya Juda. Nĩgĩkinyĩte o kĩhingo‑inĩ kĩa andũ akwa, gĩgakinya Jerusalemu kuo kwene.
For mortal [are] her wounds, For it has come to Judah, It has come to a gate of My people—to Jerusalem.
10 Mũtikaheane ũhoro ũcio kũu Gathu, mũtikarĩre o na hanini. Ningĩ kũu Bethi-Ofara mwĩgaragariei rũkũngũ‑inĩ.
In Gath do not tell—in Acco do not weep, In Beth-Aphrah, roll yourself in 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 over for you, O inhabitant of Shaphir, Naked one of shame. The inhabitant of Zaanan has not gone out, The lamentation of Beth-Ezel takes from you its 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 has stayed for good, For calamity has come down from YHWH to 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.
Bind the chariot to a swift beast, O inhabitant of Lachish, The beginning of sin [is] she to the daughter of Zion, For in you have been found the transgressions of Israel.
14 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio nĩmũkahe Moreshethu-Gathu iheo cia kuuganĩra ũhoro. Itũũra rĩa Akizibu no rĩa kũheenereria athamaki a Isiraeli.
Therefore you give presents to Moresheth-Gath, The houses of Achzib become a lying thing to the kings of Israel.
15 Inyuĩ mũtũũraga Maresha nĩngamũrehithĩria mũndũ wa kũmũũkĩrĩra, amũtoorie. Ũrĩa we ũrĩ Riiri wa Isiraeli nĩagooka Adulamu.
Yet I bring the possessor to you, O inhabitant of Mareshah, The glory of Israel comes to Adullam.
16 Enjwoi mĩtwe mũcakaĩre ciana cianyu iria mũkenagĩra; mwĩenjei kĩhara mũhaane ta nderi, nĩgũkorwo ciana icio cianyu nĩigatahwo.
Make bald and shave, for your delightful sons, Enlarge your baldness as an eagle, For they have removed from you!
