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 gatherings of summer fruit, as gleaning-grapes in harvest, there is no cluster to eat, the first ripe fruit, my soul, craved.
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.
Perished is the man of lovingkindness out of the earth, and, upright among men, is there none, —they all, for bloodshed, lie in wait. Every man—for his brother, do they hunt as for one devoted to destruction.
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.
Of wickedness with both hands to make sure, the ruler, doth make demand—and the judge—for a recompense, —and, as for the great man, he, is putting into words the desire of his soul, So have they woven the net!
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.
The best of them, is as a sharp briar, and, the most upright, worse than a thorn hedge, The day of thy watchmen—of thy visitation, hath come, Now, shall be their confusion!
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.
Do not trust in a friend, do not put confidence in an associate, —from her that lieth in thy bosom, keep thou the doors of thy mouth;
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, treateth as foolish, the father, and, the daughter, riseth up against, her mother, the daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law, —The foes of a man, are the men of his own house.
7 Ngem no maipapan kaniak, kumitaak kenni Yahweh. Urayek ti Dios ti pannakaisalakanko; denggennakto ti Diosko.
But, I, for Yahweh, will watch, I will wait for the God of my salvation, —My God, will hear me.
8 Saandak a katawaan, dakayo a kabusorko. Kalpasan ti pannakatnagko, bumangonakto. Inton agtugawak iti kasipngetan, agbalinto ni Yahweh a silawko.
Do not rejoice, O mine enemy, against me, Though I fall, I shall rise again! Though I sit in darkness, Yahweh, is 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.
The indignation of Yahweh, will I bear, for I have sinned against him, —until he take up my controversy, then will he do me justice, he will bring me forth to the light, 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.
So shall she who had been mine enemy fear, and shame, shall cover her, who used to say unto me—Where is Yahweh thy God? Mine own eyes, shall look upon her, Now, shall she become one to he trodden down, like the mire of the lanes.
11 Dumtengto ti aldaw a panangpatakdermo kadagiti padermo; iti dayta nga aldaw, maipalawanto la unay dagiti beddengmo.
On the day for building thy walls, —on that day, far away shall be thy boundary:
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.
The very day, that, against thee, shall one come from Assyria, and [from] the cities of Egypt; yea from Egypt, even unto 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.
Though the land become a desolation, because of them that dwell therein, —by reason 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.
Shepherd thou thy people with thy rod, the flock of thine inheritance, Dwell thou alone, a jungle in the midst of a fruitful field, —Let them feed in Bashan and in Gilead, as in the days of age-past times.
15 Kas kadagiti al-aldaw idi rimmuarkayo iti daga ti Egipto, ipakitakto kadakuada dagiti milagro.
As in the days of thy coming forth out of the land of Egypt, will I shew him wonders.
16 Makitanto dagiti nasion ti aramiden ni Yahweh ket mabainandanto gapu ta awan ti bilegda. Iyapputdanto dagiti imada kadagiti ngiwatda; agbalindanto a tuleng.
Nations, shall see, that they may turn pale at all their valour, —they shall lay hand on mouth, their ears, shall be silent:
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 like the serpent, Like the crawlers of the earth, shall they come quaking out of their fastnesses, —Towards Yahweh our God, shall they pay adoration, and shall fear because of thee.
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 unto thee, taking away the iniquity—and passing over the transgression—of the remnant of his inheritance? He hath not held fast, perpetually, his anger, for, one who delighteth in lovingkindness, is he!
19 Maasiankanto manen kadakami; ibaddebaddekmonto dagiti basolmi. Ibellengmonto iti lansad ti baybay dagiti amin a basbasolmi.
He will again have compassion upon us, he will subdue our iniquities, —Thou wilt cast—into the depths of the sea—all their 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.
Thou wilt grant—the faithfulness to Jacob, the lovingkindness to Abraham, —which thou didst swear to our fathers, from the days of ancient time.
