Mikias 7
1 Asi-ak pay! Para kaniak ket kasla nalpasen iti panagaapit iti bunga a maapit iti kalgaw, kasta met ti matudtod a nabati nga ubas kadagiti kaubasan: Awanen ti masarakan a rinaay a prutas, ngem tarigagayak pay laeng dagiti umuna a naluom a bunga ti igos.
Alas for me! for I am become as one gathering straw in harvest, and as [one gathering] grape-gleanings in the vintage, when there is no cluster for me to eat the first-ripe fruit: alas my soul!
2 Napukawen ti nadiosan a tao iti daga; awanen ti nabati a nalinteg kadagiti tattao. Agsanebda amin a mangpatay iti sabali a tattao; anupen ti tunggal maysa ti kabsatna.
For the godly is perished from the earth; and there is none among men that orders [his way] aright: they all quarrel even to blood: they grievously afflict every one his neighbor:
3 Nalaingda nga agaramid iti kinaranggas: agdawat ti kuarta ti agturay, agdawat iti pasuksok ti ukom, ken ibagbaga ti nabileg a tao kadagiti dadduma a tattao dagiti kayatna a gun-oden. Ket agpanggepda iti dakes a sangsangkamaysa.
they prepare their hands for mischief, the prince asks [a reward], and the judge speaks flattering words; it is the desire of their soul:
4 Maiyarig iti siitan a mula dagiti kalaingan ken maiyarig iti naiyalad a siitan a mula ti kalilintegan kadakuada. Daytoy ti aldaw nga imballaag dagiti pagbanbantayenyo, ti aldaw iti pannakadusayo. Dimtengen ita ti pannakaburiborda.
therefore I will take away their goods as a devouring moth, and as one who acts by a [rigid] rule in a day of visitation. Woe, woe, your times of vengeance are come; now shall be their lamentations.
5 Saanka nga agtalek iti uray siasino a kaarubam, saanmo nga ited ti talekmo iti uray siasinoman a gayyem. Agannadka kadagiti isawsawangmo uray iti babai nga aggid-idda iti takiagmo.
Trust not in friends, and confide not in guides: beware of your wife, so as not to commit anything to her.
6 Ta saanen a dayawen ti anak a lalaki ti amana, tumakder ti anak a babai a maibusor iti inana, ken busoren ti manugang a babai ti katuganganna a babai. Dagiti kabusor ti tao ket dagiti tattao iti bukodna a balay.
For the son dishonors his father, the daughter will rise up against her mother, the daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law: those in his house [shall be] all a man's enemies.
7 Ngem no maipapan kaniak, kumitaak kenni Yahweh. Urayek ti Dios ti pannakaisalakanko; denggennakto ti Diosko.
But I will look to the Lord; I will wait upon God my Saviour: my God will listen to me.
8 Saandak a katawaan, dakayo a kabusorko. Kalpasan ti pannakatnagko, bumangonakto. Inton agtugawak iti kasipngetan, agbalinto ni Yahweh a silawko.
Rejoice not against me, mine enemy; for I have fallen [yet] shall arise; for though I should sit in darkness, the Lord shall be a light to me.
9 Gapu ta nagbasolak kenni Yahweh, lak-amek ti pungtotna agingga nga ikaluyanak, ken ukomennak. Ipannakto iti lawag, ket makitakto ti panangispalna kaniak iti kinalintegna.
I will bear the indignation of the Lord, because I have sinned against him, until he make good my cause: he also shall maintain my right, and shall bring me out to the light, [and] I shall behold his righteousness.
10 Ket makitanto dayta dagita kabusorko, ket mabainanto dagidiay nagkuna kaniak, “Sadino ti ayan ni Yahweh a Diosmo?” Kitaekto isuna; mabaddebaddekanto isuna a kasla pitak kadagiti kalsada.
And she that is mine enemy shall see it, and shall clothe herself with shame, who says, Where [is] the Lord your God? mine eyes shall look upon her: now shall she be for trampling as mire in the ways.
11 Dumtengto ti aldaw a panangpatakdermo kadagiti padermo; iti dayta nga aldaw, maipalawanto la unay dagiti beddengmo.
[It is] the day of making of brick; that day shall be your utter destruction, and that day shall utterly abolish your ordinances.
12 Iti dayta nga aldaw, umayto kenka dagiti tattaom, nga aggapu iti Asiria ken kadagiti siudad ti Egipto, manipud Egipto agingga iti dakkel a karayan, ti Euprates, manipud iti baybay agingga iti sabali a baybay, manipud iti bantay agingga iti dadduma bantay.
And your cities shall be levelled, and parted among the Assyrians; and your strong cities shall be parted from Tyre to the river, and from sea to sea, and from mountain to mountain.
13 Ket aglangalangto dagidiay a daga gapu kadagiti tattao nga agnanaed ita sadiay, gapu iti bunga dagiti aramidda.
And the land shall be utterly desolate together with them that inhabit it, because of the fruit of their doings.
14 Ipastormo dagiti tattaom babaen iti sarukodmo, ti arban a kas tawidmo. Uray no agnanaedda nga agwaywayas iti kabakiran ti Bantay Carmel, palubosam ida a mangan idiay Basan ken Galaad a kas idi punganay.
Tend your people with your rod, the sheep of your inheritance, those that inhabit by themselves the thicket in the midst of Carmel: they shall feed in the land of Basan, and in the land of Galaad, as in the days of old.
15 Kas kadagiti al-aldaw idi rimmuarkayo iti daga ti Egipto, ipakitakto kadakuada dagiti milagro.
And according to the days of your departure out of Egypt shall you see marvelous [things].
16 Makitanto dagiti nasion ti aramiden ni Yahweh ket mabainandanto gapu ta awan ti bilegda. Iyapputdanto dagiti imada kadagiti ngiwatda; agbalindanto a tuleng.
The nations shall see and be ashamed; and at all their might they shall lay their hands upon their mouth, their ears shall be deafened.
17 Dildilandanto ti tapok a kas iti uleg, kas kadagiti parsua nga agkarkaradap iti rabaw ti daga. Rummuardanto kadagiti rukibda a mabutbuteng; umasidegdanto a mabutbuteng kenka, O Yahweh a Diosmi, ket agbutengdanto gapu kenka.
They shall lick the dust as serpents crawling on the earth, they shall be confounded in their holes; they shall be amazed at the Lord our God, and will be afraid of you.
18 Siasino ti Dios a kas kenka, sika a mangikkat iti basol, sika a saan a mangikankano iti salungasing dagiti nabatbati a tattao a tawidmo? Saan nga agnanayon ti ungetmo gapu ta pagaayatmo nga ipakita kadakami ti kinapudnom iti tulagmo.
Who is a God like you, cancelling iniquities, and passing over the sins of the remnant of his inheritance? and he has not kept his anger for a testimony, for he delights in mercy.
19 Maasiankanto manen kadakami; ibaddebaddekmonto dagiti basolmi. Ibellengmonto iti lansad ti baybay dagiti amin a basbasolmi.
He will return and have mercy upon us; he will sink our iniquities, and they shall be cast into the depth of the sea, [even] all our sins.
20 Impaaymonto ti kinapudno kenni Jacob ken ti kinapudnom iti tulagmo kenni Abraham, a kas inkarim kadagiti kapuonanmi idi un-unana nga al-aldaw.
He shall give blessings truly to Jacob, and mercy to Abraam, as you sware to our fathers, according to the former days.
