< Mikias 1 >

1 Daytoy ti sao ni Yahweh nga immay kenni Mikias a taga-Moreset kadagiti al-aldaw da Jotam, Ahaz ken Hezekias, nga ar-ari ti Juda, ti sao a naimatanganna maipapan iti Samaria ken Jerusalem.
The word of Jehovah, which came to Micah, the Morasthite, in the days of Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah; which was revealed to him concerning Judah and Jerusalem.
2 Dumngegkayo, dakayo amin a tattao. Dumngegka, O daga, ken ti isu-amin nga adda kenka. Agsaksi koma ti Apo a ni Yahweh a maibusor kenka, ti Apo manipud iti nasantoan a templona.
Hear, all ye nations, Give ear, O earth, and all that is therein! The Lord, Jehovah, appeareth as a witness against you, The Lord from his holy palace.
3 Kitaenyo, rummuar ni Yahweh iti ayanna; bumaba isuna ket rumekenna dagiti pagdaydayawan dagiti pagano iti rabaw ti daga.
Behold, Jehovah cometh forth from his dwelling-place; He cometh down, and advanceth upon the high places of the earth.
4 Malunag dagiti bantay iti babaenna; marunaw dagiti turod a kasla allid iti sangoanan ti apuy, kasla danum a naibuyat iti derraas.
The mountains melt under him, And the valleys cleave asunder, Like wax before the fire, Like waters poured down a steep place.
5 Gapu amin dagitoy iti panagsukir ni Jacob, ken gapu kadagiti basol ti balay ti Israel. Ania ti makagapu iti panagsukir ni Jacob? Saan kadi a ti Samaria? Ania ti makagapu nga adda dagiti lugar a pagdaydayawan idiay Juda? Saan kadi a ti Jerusalem?
For the transgression of Jacob is all this, And for the sin of the house of Israel. Where is the transgression of Jacob? Is it not at Samaria? And where are the high places of Judah? Are they not at Jerusalem?
6 “Pagbalinekto ti Samaria a gabsuon dagiti nadadael iti tay-ak, a kas iti lugar a pagmulaan laeng iti ubas. Paitulidkonto dagiti bato ti pasdekna idiay tanap; pagparangekto dagiti pundasionna.
Therefore will I make Samaria a heap of stones in the field, A place for the planting of a vineyard; I will pour down her stones into the valley, And lay bare her foundations.
7 Maburakto dagiti amin a kinitikitan a ladawanna, ken mapuoranto dagiti amin a sagsagut kenkuana. Dadaelekto dagiti amin a didiosenna. Agsipud ta inurnongna dagitoy a sagut iti panagbalangkantisna, ket maisublidanto a kas tangdan ti maysa a balangkantis.”
All her graven images shall be beaten to pieces, And all the hire of her harlotry shall be burned with fire, And all her idols will I destroy. For from the hire of a harlot did she gather her ornaments, And to the hire of a harlot shall they return.
8 Daytoyto ti makagapu iti panagdung-aw ken panagladingitko; magnaak a sakasaka ken lamolamo. Agtaguobak a kas iti atap nga aso ken agdung-awak a kas iti kullaaw.
Therefore I will wail and howl; I will go stripped and naked; I will wail like the jackal, And mourn like the ostrich.
9 Ngamin, saanen a maagasan dagiti sugatna, ta nakagtengdan idiay Juda. Nakadanondan iti ruangan dagiti tattaok, iti Jerusalem.
For her wound is mortal; It extendeth to Judah; It reacheth to the gate of my people, even to Jerusalem.
10 Saanyo nga ibagbaga idiay Gat ti maipapan iti daytoy; saankayo nga agsangit. Agtulidtulidak iti katapukan idiay Bet-Afra.
Tell it not in Gath! weep not in Acco! In Beth-Aprah roll yourselves in the dust!
11 Lumabaskayo, agnanaed iti Sapir, a silalamolamo ken nakababain. Saan a rummuar dagiti agnanaed iti Zaanan. Agdungdung-aw ti Bet-Ezel ta awanen ti salaknibda.
Pass on, thou inhabitant of Saphir, naked and in shame! The inhabitant of Zaanan no more goeth out; The grief of Beth-Azel denieth you an abode.
12 Ta agur-uray a sigagagar dagiti agnanaed iti Marot iti naimbag a damag, gapu ta indissuoren ni Yahweh ti didigra kadagiti ruangan ti Jerusalem.
The inhabitant of Maroth mourneth for his goods, For evil came down from Jehovah to the gates of Jerusalem.
13 Dakayo nga agnanaed iti Lakis, ipakoyo dagiti karuahe iti bunggoy dagiti kabalioyo. O Lakis, sika ti nangruggian iti basol ti anak a babai ti Sion, ta nasarakan kenka dagiti panagsalungasing ti Israel.
Bind the chariot to the courser, O inhabitant of Lachish! Thou wast the beginning of sin to the daughter of Zion; In thee were found the transgressions of Israel.
14 Isu a mangtedkanto iti sagut a pammakada iti Moreset-Gat; upayento ti ili ti Akzib dagiti ari ti Israel.
Therefore shalt thou resign the possession of Moresheth of Gath; The houses of Achzib shall disappoint the kings of Israel.
15 Dakayo nga agnanaed iti Maresa, iyegkonto kadakayo ti mangtagikua kadakayo. Mapanto aglemmeng dagiti mangidadaulo ti Israel iti kueba ti Adullam.
A possessor will I bring to thee, O inhabitant of Mareshah; The glory of Israel shall flee to Adullam.
16 Juda, kuskosam ta ulom ken pukisam ta buokmo para kadagiti annakmo a pakaay-ayoam. Agpakalboka a kas iti agila, ta maipanawto a kas balud dagiti annakmo.
Make thyself bald, cut off thy locks, for the children of thy love; Enlarge thy baldness like the eagle; For they have gone from thee into captivity.
