< 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 Yahweh which came unto Micah the Morashtite, in the days of Jotham, Ahaz, Hezekiah, kings of Judah, —of which he had vision concerning Samaria, 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 ye peoples, all of you, Hearken, O earth and the fulness thereof, —and let My Lord Yahweh be among you for a witness, My Lord out of his holy temple.
3 Kitaenyo, rummuar ni Yahweh iti ayanna; bumaba isuna ket rumekenna dagiti pagdaydayawan dagiti pagano iti rabaw ti daga.
For lo! Yahweh, coming forth out of his place, —that he may descend, and march along 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.
Then shall the mountains be melted beneath him, and, the valleys, be cleft, —as wax before the fire, as waters poured out in 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, —Whose is the transgression of Jacob? Is it not Samaria’s? And whose is the sin of Judah? Is it not 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 of Samaria a heap in a field, the plantings in a vineyard, —and I will pour down, into the valley, her stones, and, her foundations, will I lay bare;
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.”
And, all her images, shall be beaten in pieces, and, all her rewards for unchastity, shall be burned in the fire, and, all her idols, will I make a desolation, —for, out of the reward of unchastity, she gathered [them], and, unto the reward of unchastity, 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.
For this cause, will I lament and howl, I will go stript and bare, —I will make a lamentation, like the wild dogs, and a mourning, like ostriches.
9 Ngamin, saanen a maagasan dagiti sugatna, ta nakagtengdan idiay Juda. Nakadanondan iti ruangan dagiti tattaok, iti Jerusalem.
For dangerous are her wounds, —for she hath come as far as Judah, she hath reached as far as the gate of my people, as far as Jerusalem.
10 Saanyo nga ibagbaga idiay Gat ti maipapan iti daytoy; saankayo nga agsangit. Agtulidtulidak iti katapukan idiay Bet-Afra.
In Gath, do not tell, in Accho, do not weep, —in Beth-l’aphrah, roll yourselves in 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 thou over (for you), thou inhabitress of Shaphir, of disgraceful disclosure, —the inhabitress of Zaanan, hath not gone forth, at the lamentation of Beth-ezel, shall he take from you his station,
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.
Though the inhabitress of Maroth waited for blessing, —yet there came down calamity from Yahweh, to the gate 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 steed, O inhabitress of Lachish, —the beginning of sin, was she to the daughter of Zion, for, in thee, have been 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 give a dismission, against Moresheth-gath, —The houses of Achzib, served for a deception to 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.
The time shall yet be when, the heir, I will bring unto thee, O inhabitress of Mareshah, —as far as Adullam, shall enter the glory of Israel.
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 thee bald, and cut off thy hair, for the children of thy pleasures, —enlarge thy baldness, like a vulture, for they are exiled from thee.
