< 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: so 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 Yhwh; Behold, against this family do I devise an evil, from which ye shall not remove your necks; neither shall ye go haughtily: for this time is evil.
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 one take up a parable against you, and lament with a doleful lamentation, and say, We be utterly spoiled: he hath changed the portion of my people: how hath he removed it from me! turning away he hath divided our fields.
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 a cord by lot in the congregation of Yhwh.
6 “Saanka nga agipadto,” kunada. “Masapul a saanda nga ipadtoda dagitoy a banbanag; saan nga umay ti pannakaibabain.”
Prophesy ye not, say they to them that prophesy: they shall not prophesy to them, that they shall not take shame.
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 the spirit of Yhwh straitened? 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.
Even of late my people is risen up as an enemy: ye pull off the robe with the garment from them that pass by securely as men 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 have ye cast out from their pleasant houses; from their children have ye taken away my glory 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 your rest: because it is polluted, it shall destroy you, even with a sore 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 the spirit and falsehood do lie, saying, I will prophesy unto thee of wine and of strong drink; he shall even 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, all of thee; I will surely gather the remnant of Israel; I will put them together as the sheep of Bozrah, as the flock in the midst of their fold: 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.
The breaker is come up before them: they have broken up, and have passed through the gate, and are gone out by it: and their king shall pass before them, and Yhwh on the head of them.
