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.
Terrible things will happen to you who lie awake at night, planning to do wicked things. You get up at dawn, and you do those things, [as soon as] you are able to do them.
2 Tarigagayanda dagiti talon ket agawenda dagitoy; tarigagayanda dagiti balay ket alaenda dagitoy. Irurumenda ti tao ken ti balayna, ti tao ken ti tawidna.
You want fields [that belong to other people], so you seize them; you also take their houses. You cheat people to get their homes, taking away the property that belongs to their families.
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, this is what Yahweh says: “I will cause you people to experience disasters, and you will not be able to escape [MTY] from them. You will no [longer] walk around proudly, because when those things happen, it will be a time of much trouble for you.
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!”'
At that time, [your enemies] will make fun of you; they will ridicule you by singing this sad song about you: ‘We are completely ruined; Yahweh is taking our land/fields from us, and he will give it to those who will capture us.’”
5 Ngarud, dakayo a nababaknang, awanto ti kaputotanyo nga umawat iti daga a kas bingayna iti pannakaibunong ti daga iti gimong ni Yahweh.
So [when it is the time for the land to be given back to you] people who belong to Yahweh, there will be no one [MTY] who will be able to (cast lots/throw marked stones) to determine which land belongs to whom.
6 “Saanka nga agipadto,” kunada. “Masapul a saanda nga ipadtoda dagitoy a banbanag; saan nga umay ti pannakaibabain.”
The people [who heard me say that] replied to me, “Do not prophesy such things! Do not say that [Yahweh] is going to humiliate us [by causing us to experience disasters]!”
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?
But you people [MTY] of Israel should not [RHQ] talk like that! The Spirit of Yahweh will certainly not [RHQ] be patient [with people who say such things]! People who continually do things that are righteous will certainly [RHQ] like/appreciate what I say.
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 Yahweh says], “[Recently] my people have been acting toward me like an enemy. When soldiers return from fighting [against their enemies], you [rich people refuse to return the coats of those poor soldiers who have borrowed money from you] [and given you their coats to guarantee that they will pay back the money that they borrowed from you]. [It is as though] you are waiting to forcefully take their coats off their backs!
9 Pinapanawyo dagiti babbai a tattaok kadagiti napintas a balayda; innalayo ti bendisionko kadagiti annakda iti agnanayon.
You have forced women to leave their nice homes, and you have stolen from their children forever the (blessings/good things) that I wanted to give them.
10 Tumakderkayo ket pumanawkayo, ta saan a daytoy ti lugar a mabalinyo a pagyanan, gapu iti kinarugitna; naan-anay a nadadael daytoy.
[So] get up and leave [here]! This is not a place where you can rest [and be safe/protected], because you have (defiled it/caused it to be a place that I hate); it will be completely destroyed.
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.
[You people want] a prophet who will lie to you, saying ‘I will preach [that you should drink] plenty of wine and [other] alcoholic drinks!’ That is the [kind of] prophet who [would please] you.”
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.
“[But some day], you descendants of Jacob, you Israeli people who have survived, I will bring you back [from (exile/other countries)], I will gather you together like [SIM] [a shepherd gathers his] sheep from the pasture into a pen [DOU]; there will be many of you in your land/country.
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.
Your leader will enable them to leave the countries where they have been exiled; he will lead them out of the gates [of their enemies’ cities], [back to your own country]. Your king will lead them; [it is I], Yahweh, who will be their king!”
