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.
Misery is mine! Indeed, I am like one who gathers the summer fruits, as gleanings of the vineyard. There is no cluster of grapes to eat. My soul desires to eat the early fig.
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.
The godly man has perished out of the earth, and there is no one upright among men. They all lie in wait for blood; every man hunts his brother with a net.
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.
Their hands are on that which is evil to do it diligently. The ruler and judge ask for a bribe. The powerful man dictates the evil desire of his soul. Thus they conspire together.
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 like a brier. The most upright is worse than a thorn hedge. The day of your watchmen, even your visitation, has come; now is the time of 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.
Don’t trust in a neighbor. Don’t put confidence in a friend. With the woman lying in your embrace, be careful of the words of your 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 dishonors the father, the daughter rises up against her mother, the daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law; a man’s enemies are the men of his own house.
7 Ngem no maipapan kaniak, kumitaak kenni Yahweh. Urayek ti Dios ti pannakaisalakanko; denggennakto ti Diosko.
But as for me, I will look to Yahweh. 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.
Don’t rejoice against me, my enemy. When I fall, I will arise. When I sit in darkness, Yahweh will 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 Yahweh, because I have sinned against him, until he pleads my case and executes judgment for me. He will bring me out to the light. I will see 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.
Then my enemy will see it, and shame will cover her who said to me, “Where is Yahweh your God?” My eyes will see her. Now she will be trodden down like the mire of the streets.
11 Dumtengto ti aldaw a panangpatakdermo kadagiti padermo; iti dayta nga aldaw, maipalawanto la unay dagiti beddengmo.
A day to build your walls! In that day, he will extend your 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.
In that day they will come to you from Assyria and the cities of Egypt, and from Egypt even to the River, and from sea to sea, and mountain to mountain.
13 Ket aglangalangto dagidiay a daga gapu kadagiti tattao nga agnanaed ita sadiay, gapu iti bunga dagiti aramidda.
Yet the land will be desolate because of those who dwell therein, for 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 your people with your staff, the flock of your heritage, who dwell by themselves in a forest. Let them feed in the middle of fertile pasture land, in Bashan and Gilead, as in the days of old.
15 Kas kadagiti al-aldaw idi rimmuarkayo iti daga ti Egipto, ipakitakto kadakuada dagiti milagro.
“As in the days of your coming out of the land of Egypt, I will show them 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 will see and be ashamed of all their might. They will lay their hand on their mouth. Their ears will be deaf.
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 will lick the dust like a serpent. Like crawling things of the earth, they will come trembling out of their dens. They will come with fear to Yahweh our God, and will be afraid because 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, who pardons iniquity, and passes over the disobedience of the remnant of his heritage? He doesn’t retain his anger forever, because he delights in loving kindness.
19 Maasiankanto manen kadakami; ibaddebaddekmonto dagiti basolmi. Ibellengmonto iti lansad ti baybay dagiti amin a basbasolmi.
He will again have compassion on us. He will tread our iniquities under foot. You will cast all their sins into the depths of the sea.
20 Impaaymonto ti kinapudno kenni Jacob ken ti kinapudnom iti tulagmo kenni Abraham, a kas inkarim kadagiti kapuonanmi idi un-unana nga al-aldaw.
You will give truth to Jacob, and mercy to Abraham, as you have sworn to our fathers from the days of old.
