Mika 2
1 Kaĩ andũ arĩa mathugundaga waganu, o acio meciiragia maũndũ mooru marĩ ũrĩrĩ, marĩ na haaro-ĩ! Rũciinĩ gwakĩa mekaga o ũguo, tondũ hinya wa gwĩka ũguo marĩ naguo.
Woe to those who devise iniquity and work evil on their beds! When the morning is light, they practice it, because it is in the power of their hand.
2 Macumĩkagĩra mĩgũnda makamĩtunyana, na makeerirĩria nyũmba magacioya na hinya. Maheenagia mũndũ makamũtunya mũciĩ wake, makaheenia mũndũ wao, makamũtunya igai rĩake.
They covet fields and seize them, and houses, then take them away. They oppress a man and his house, even a man and his heritage.
3 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio, Jehova ekuuga atĩrĩ: “Nĩndĩrathugunda mwanangĩko wa gũũkĩrĩra andũ aya, ũrĩa mũtakahota kwĩhonokia. Mũtigacooka gũthiiaga na mwĩtĩĩo, nĩgũkorwo ihinda rĩu nĩ rĩa mũtino.
Therefore Yahweh says: “Behold, I am planning against these people a disaster, from which you will not remove your necks, neither will you walk haughtily, for it is an evil time.
4 Mũthenya ũcio andũ nĩmakamũthekerera; na mamũnyũrũrie na rwĩmbo rũrũ rwa kĩrĩro, maine atĩrĩ, ‘Tũrĩ anange biũ; indo cia andũ akwa nĩngayane. Nĩacieheretie kuuma kũrĩ niĩ! Aragaya mĩgũnda iitũ kũrĩ andũ arĩa matũkunyanagĩra.’”
In that day they will take up a parable against you, and lament with a doleful lamentation, saying, ‘We are utterly ruined! My people’s possession is divided up. Indeed he takes it from me and assigns our fields to traitors!’”
5 Nĩ ũndũ mũtigakorwo na mũndũ o na ũmwe kĩũngano-inĩ kĩa Jehova wa kũgaya ithaka na ũndũ wa gũcicuukĩra mĩtĩ.
Therefore you will have no one who divides the land by lot in Yahweh’s assembly.
6 Anabii ao moigaga atĩrĩ, “Mũtikarathe ũhoro. Tigagai kũratha ũhoro ũkoniĩ maũndũ maya; gĩconoko gĩtigatũkinyĩrĩra.”
“Don’t prophesy!”—they prophesy— “Don’t prophesy about these things. Disgrace won’t overtake us.”
7 Ningĩ nĩ kwagĩrĩire kũũranagio atĩrĩ, wee nyũmba ya Jakubu: “Kaĩ Roho wa Jehova arĩ mũrakaru? We no eke maũndũ ta macio?” “Githĩ ciugo ciakwa itigunaga mũndũ ũrĩa ũthiiaga na mĩthiĩre mĩrũngĩrĩru?
Shall it be said, O house of Jacob, “Is Yahweh’s Spirit angry? Are these his doings? Don’t my words do good to him who walks blamelessly?”
8 Ica‑ikuhĩ‑rĩ, andũ akwa maarahũkĩte magatuĩka ta thũ. Mũtunyaga andũ arĩa mahooreire nguo ciao cia goro, mũgatunya ehĩtũkĩri arĩa marahĩtũka matekũmaka, o acio matakoragwo na meciiria ma mbaara na inyuĩ.
But lately my people have risen up as an enemy. You strip the robe and clothing from those who pass by without a care, returning from battle.
9 Mũingataga andũ‑a‑nja a andũ akwa kuuma mĩciĩ yao ĩrĩa mĩega. Mũgatunya ciana ciao kĩrathimo gĩakwa nginya tene.
You drive the women of my people out from their pleasant houses; from their young children you take away my blessing forever.
10 Ũkĩrai mũthiĩ, mwehere! Nĩgũkorwo gĩikaro gĩkĩ ti kĩo kĩhurũko kĩanyu, tondũ nĩgĩthaahie, kĩanangĩtwo ũndũ gĩtangĩcookererio.
Arise, and depart! For this is not your resting place, because of uncleanness that destroys, even with a grievous destruction.
11 Mũndũ wa maheeni na ũtaaragia ma angĩũka oige atĩrĩ, ‘Ndaamũrathĩra gũkorwo na ndibei na njoohi nyingĩ,’ ũcio nĩwe ũngĩtĩkĩrĩka nĩ andũ aya!
If a man walking in a spirit of falsehood lies, saying, “I will prophesy to you of wine and of strong drink,” he would be the prophet of this people.
12 “Atĩrĩrĩ, inyuĩ andũ a Jakubu, ti‑itherũ nĩngamũcookanĩrĩria, inyuothe, o na inyuĩ matigari ma Isiraeli nĩngamũrehe hamwe. Ngamarehe hamwe ta ngʼondu irĩ kiugũ, matuĩke ta rũũru rwa mbũri rũrĩ ũrĩithio-inĩ waruo; nakĩo kĩrĩndĩ kĩa andũ kĩiyũre kuo.
I will surely assemble all of you, Jacob. I will surely gather the remnant of Israel. I will put them together as the sheep of Bozrah, as a flock in the middle of their pasture. They will swarm with people.
13 Mũhingũri njĩra, nĩakambata arĩ mbere yao; nao nĩmakamomora kĩhingo moime nja. Mũthamaki wao nĩakoimagara arĩ mbere yao, Jehova amatongoretie.”
He who breaks open the way goes up before them. They break through the gate, and go out. Their king passes on before them, with Yahweh at their head.
