Maika 1
1 Hanki ama nanekea Ra Anumzamo'ma, Moreseti kumateti ne' Maikama ami'neana, Jotamu'ma, Ahasi'ma, Hezekaia'ma hu'za Juda mopare'ma kinima maniterema hu'za aza kafu ramimpi Sameria kumate'ene Jerusalemi kumate'ma fore hania zamofo naneke Maikana asmi'ne.
[I am] Micah. I am from [the town of] Moresheth [in Judah]. Yahweh gave me these [messages in] visions about Samaria and Jerusalem during the time when Jotham, [and then] Ahaz, and [then] Hezekiah, were the kings of Judah.
2 Maka ama mopafima mani'naza vahe'mota ama nanekea nentahinke'za, Ama mopa agofetu'ma me'nea zantami motanena tamagesa ante'neta antahiho. Ra Anumzamo'a ruotage'ma hu'nea mono moma'afi mani'neno, menina keaga huneramante.
You people everywhere on the earth, pay attention to this [DOU]! Yahweh our God is accusing you from his holy temple [in heaven].
3 Hagi antahiho! Ra Anumzamo'a agrama nemania tra'a monafinka atreno ne-eankino ama mopafima havi anumzantamimofoma mono'ma hunentaza za'za agonaramimpi agia eme regahie.
He will come down [from heaven] and walk on the tops of the highest mountains.
4 Ana'ma hanigeno'a agonaramimo'a tinkna huno agiafina maramara nehanigeno, agupo moparamimo'a runetanenigeno, kragefe'nea masavema teze'zema hiaza hanigeno, agonaramintegati timo'ma vazi hagagino uramiaza huno aguporega vugahie.
[It will be as though] the mountains will melt under his [feet] like [SIM] wax [melts] in front of a fire, and like [SIM] water [disappears] when it rushes/flows down into a valley.
5 Hanki ama ana zama fore'ma haniana na'ankure, Israeli vahe'ene Juda vahe'mo'zama Anumzamofo nanekema eri tre'za kumi'ma hu'naza zanku huno fore hugahie. Maka Israeli vahe'mo'za kumira hu'nazankino, iza ana knazana erigahie? Ugagota ran kuma Sameria kuma'mo ana knazana erisanigeno, Juda vahe'mo'zama havi anumzante'ma mono'ma hunentaza kumara iga me'ne? E'i Jerusalemi kumakino agra'a knazana erigahie.
Those things will happen because of the terrible sins [DOU] that the people [MTY] of Israel, [the descendants of] Jacob, have committed. But it was [RHQ] [the people of] Samaria [city who persuaded all the people of] Israel to sin, and it was [RHQ] because the people of Jerusalem [set up altars to worship their gods] that [the other people of] Judah [were persuaded to worship idols on] their hilltops.
6 Ana hu'neanki'na nagra Ra Anumzamo'na Sameria kumara eri haviza hanugeno kugusopamo'ma hihi huno mareriaza hugahie. Ana hanugeno ana kumapi mopamo'a pehe hanige'za anampina waini hoza antegahaze. Ana nehu'na kuma keginamofo have ramina ahefaragu vazisanugeno agupofinke'za uramisigeno, keginama retrure'za tro'ma hu'naza tramo'a amate megahie.
So Yahweh will cause Samaria to become a heap [of rubble/ruins]; [it will be only] a field for planting vineyards. He will cause the stones of its [buildings] to roll down into the valley, and the foundations [of the buildings] will be uncovered.
7 Samaria kumapima havi anumzamofo amema'ama antreta tro'ma hunte'nazana ru takohu osi osi hunetre'na, havi anumzante'ma mono'ma hunentaza nompima, mizama eri'naza zama eme ante'naza zantamina tevemo tefanane hugahie. Ama ana zantamima mizama se'nazana, monko zama nehaza vahe'ma miza sezamante'naza zagoreti miza se'naza zantamine. Ana hu'neanki'za ana zantamina eri'za ru moparega vu'za monko avu'ava zama nehaza vahe ome mizase zamantegahaze.
All the idols in Samaria will be smashed, and the gifts [given to prostitutes at the temples of their idols] will be destroyed in a fire. And because people paid prostitutes there, [their enemies will take away those idols and sell them] to get money to pay to prostitutes [in other countries].
8 E'ina hu'negu nagra Maika'na tusi nasunku hu'na zavira nete'na, navatetira kukena hate netre'na nagia nonena ontani vano hugahue. Afi kramo'ma hiaza hu'na krafa huna vano nehu'na, mananinkna nama, ostritsimo'ma hiaza hu'na zavira tegahue.
Because [Samaria will be destroyed], I will weep and wail. I will walk around (barefoot/without any sandals on my feet) and naked. I will howl like a jackal/wolf and screech like an owl,
9 Na'ankure nagri vahemokizmi namumo'a teganigara osu'neankino, ana namumo'a takaureno Juda vahete'enena nevie. Ana namumo'a Jerusalemi kumamofo rankafantera vuteno, agu'a ufreno eri haviza hu'ne.
because Samaria will be completely destroyed [MET]; nothing can save that city. But the same thing will happen to Judah! [It is as though the enemy army] has [already] reached the city gates of Jerusalem, [the main city where] my people [live].
10 Ama ana zankura huamara huta Gati kumapima nemaniza vahera ozamasamiho. Ana nehuta magore huta tamavunura otreho. Hagi Bet-Leafra kumate'ma nemaniza vahemota tamasunku nehuta, kugusopafi maseta rukrahe krahe hiho.
Do not tell that to [our enemies] in Gath [city in Philistia]! Do not cry, [lest the people there find out what is happening]! [Instead, just] roll in the dirt in Beth-Leaphrah [because the name of that town means ‘house of dust].’
11 Hanki Safiri kumapima nemaniza vahe'mota, tamagazegu nehuta tamavatera kukena omanesiaza kina vahe kna huta ru moparega viho. Za'anani kumapima nemaniza vahe'mo'za kuma zamimofo vihufintira atre'za atioramigahaze. Ana nehuta zavi krafama hanazana Bet-Ezeli kumapi vahe'mo'zama eme tamazama osnaza zanku anara hugahaze.
You people who live in Shaphir [town, whose name means ‘beautiful],’ naked and ashamed, you will be taken [to another country]. [You people in] Beth-Ezel [town] should mourn, [because] no one from Zaanan [town, whose name means ‘one who goes out],’ will go out to help you.
12 Maroti kumapima nemaniza vahe'mo'za tusi zamatafi nemani'za, ina zupa knare zana fore hugahie nehu'za avega antete'za manigahaze. Na'ankure ama ana knazamo'a Ra Anumza mofontegati e'neankino, Jerusalemi kumamo'enena ama ana knazana erigahie.
[The name of] Maroth [town sounds like ‘bitterness];’ everyone there is anxiously waiting for good things to happen to them, but good things will not happen to them; instead, terrible things are about to happen to them, and it will soon happen at the gates of Jerusalem.
13 Hanki Lakisi kumapima nemaniza vahe'mota karisiramina erita hosi afutamire rente vaganereta, anampi takaureta koro freho. Na'ankure Juda mopafima me'nea ranra kuma tamimpintira Israeli vahera zamavaririta tamagra esera keontahi avu'ava zana nehuta, Jerusalemi kumapima nemaniza vahera zamavareta kumipina ufre'naze.
You people of Lachish [city, whose name sounds like ‘team],’ hitch your horses to pull the chariots [in which you can ride to flee from your enemies]. The Israeli people rebelled against Yahweh, and you (imitated them/did the same evil things that they did), and that caused the people of Jerusalem [IDM] to start sinning, too.
14 E'ina hu'negu Juda vahemota, Moreset-Gati kumate'ma nemaniza vahekura tamasunku huta huso'e hunezamanteta musezana tre zamanteho. Na'ankure ana kumara ru vahe'mo'za erisanageno tamagri kumara mago'enena omanegahie. Hanki Aksibi kumapima nemaniza vahe'mo'za Israeli kini vahera karunage hu'za rezamavataga nehu'za zamaza osugahaze.
[You people of Judah], send a farewell gift to [the people] of Moresheth [town], [because their enemies will soon destroy it]. [The name of the town Aczib means ‘deception],’ and the kings of Israel [will soon find out that the people of that town] will deceive them.
15 Hanki Moreseti kumapima nemaniza vahera, Nagra Anumzamo'na tamagri ha' vahera huzmantesuge'za e'za, ha' eme huramante'za tamagri kumara eri nafa'a hugahaze. Ana hanage'za Israeli ranra kva vahe'mo'za koro fre'za Adulamu ran kumatega vugahaze.
[The name of your town of] Mareshah [means ‘conqueror],’ and Yahweh will [soon] send someone to conquer your town. [It will be necessary for] the great/glorious leaders of Israel to go [and hide in the cave at] Adullam [city].
16 Juda vahe'mota tamagrama tamavesi nezamantaza mofavre nagatamina, ame hu'za hanare'za vugahazanki tamasunku hunezamanteta tamaseni tamazokara vazagategahaze. Na'ankure mofavre nagatamima zamavare'za afete moparegama kinafima vanaza zanku huta tamaseni tamazokara vazagate atresageno fankimofo kokovite azoka'ma omaneaza huno tamanuntera tamazokara omanegahie.
[You people of Judah], shave your heads [while you will be mourning], because your children whom you love will [soon] be (exiled/forced to leave you and go to another country).
