< Mikias 2 >
1 Asi pay dagiti agpanggep iti kinadakes, dagiti adda iti pagiddaanda nga agpangpanggep nga agaramid iti dakes. Aramidenda dagitoy iti agsapa gapu ta addaanda iti pannakabael.
Woe to them that devise iniquity and work evil upon their beds! When the morning is light they practise it, because it is in the power of their hand.
2 Tarigagayanda dagiti talon ket agawenda dagitoy; tarigagayanda dagiti balay ket alaenda dagitoy. Irurumenda ti tao ken ti balayna, ti tao ken ti tawidna.
And they covet fields, and take them by violence; and houses, and take them away; and they oppress a man and his house, even a man and his heritage.
3 Ngarud, kastoy ti kuna ni Yahweh: “Kitaem, mangiyegak iti didigra iti daytoy a puli, ket saankayonto a makalisi. Saankayonton a magna a sipapalangguad, ta dakesto dayta a tiempo.
Therefore thus saith Jehovah: Behold, against this family do I devise an evil, from which ye shall not remove your necks; neither shall ye walk haughtily: for it is an evil time.
4 Iti dayta nga aldaw, agkantanto dagiti kabusoryo iti maipapan kadakayo, ket agdung-awkayonto nga addaan panagasug. Kantaendanto, 'Dakami nga Israelita, nadadaelkamin a naminpinsan; binaliwanen ni Yahweh ti territoryo dagiti tattaok. Alaenna kadi met daytoy kaniak? Imbunongna dagiti talonmi kadagiti mangliliput!”'
In that day shall they take up a proverb concerning you, and lament with a doleful lamentation, [and] say, We are utterly spoiled: he hath changed the portion of my people: how hath he removed it from me! He hath distributed our fields to the rebellious.
5 Ngarud, dakayo a nababaknang, awanto ti kaputotanyo nga umawat iti daga a kas bingayna iti pannakaibunong ti daga iti gimong ni Yahweh.
Therefore thou shalt have none that shall cast the measuring line upon a lot, in the congregation of Jehovah.
6 “Saanka nga agipadto,” kunada. “Masapul a saanda nga ipadtoda dagitoy a banbanag; saan nga umay ti pannakaibabain.”
Prophesy ye not, they prophesy. If they do not prophesy to these, the ignominy will not depart.
7 Rumbeng kadi a kastoy ti kunayo, O balay ni Jacob, “Makaunget kadi ti espiritu ni Yahweh? Pudno kadi a dagitoy ti aramidna?” Saan kadi a nasayaat dagiti sasaok iti siasinoman nga agar-aramid iti nalinteg?
O thou [that art] named the house of Jacob, Is Jehovah impatient? are these his doings? Do not my words do good to him that walketh uprightly?
8 Iti nabiit pay, bimmusor dagiti tattaok a kasla maysa a kabusor. Ussobenyo ti kagay, ti kawes dagiti aglabas a mangpanpanunot a natalgeddan, a kas dagiti soldado a naggapu iti gubat nga iti pagarupda ket natalgeddan.
But of late my people is risen up as an enemy: ye strip off the mantle with the garment from them that pass by securely, that are averse from war.
9 Pinapanawyo dagiti babbai a tattaok kadagiti napintas a balayda; innalayo ti bendisionko kadagiti annakda iti agnanayon.
The women of my people do ye cast out from their pleasant houses; from their young children do ye take away my magnificence for ever.
10 Tumakderkayo ket pumanawkayo, ta saan a daytoy ti lugar a mabalinyo a pagyanan, gapu iti kinarugitna; naan-anay a nadadael daytoy.
Arise ye, and depart; for this is not the resting-place, because of defilement that bringeth destruction, even a grievous destruction.
11 No adda umay kadakayo nga addaan iti espiritu iti kinamanaginkukuna ken kinaulbod ket kunana, “Agipadtoak kadakayo maipapan iti arak ken naingel a mainum,” ket isuna ti kayatyo nga agbalin a profetayo.
If a man walking in wind and falsehood do lie, [saying, ] I will prophesy unto thee of wine and of strong drink, he shall be the prophet of this people.
12 Siguradoek nga ummongenkayonto amin, O Jacob. Siguradoek nga ummongekto dagiti nabatbati iti Israel. Pagtitiponekto ida a kasla karnero iti koral, a kas iti arban iti tengnga ti pagarabanda. Addanto ti napigsa nga ariwawa gapu iti adu a tattao.
I will surely assemble, O Jacob, the whole of thee; I will surely gather the remnant of Israel; I will put them together as sheep of Bozrah, as a flock in the midst of their pasture: they shall make great noise by reason of [the multitude of] men.
13 Addanto ti mangilukat iti dalanda nga isu iti umuna kadakuada. Luktanda ti ruangan ket rimmuarda; lumabasto ti arida iti sangoananda. Ni Yahweh ti mangidaulonto kadakuada.
One that breaketh through is gone up before them: they have broken forth, and have passed on to the gate, and are gone out by it; and their king passeth on before them, and Jehovah at the head of them.
