Micah 7
1 Wanginla finsrak luk! Nga oana sie mwet masrinsral su tia ku in konauk fokinsak ulun sak uh, ac wangin pac grape ke oa in grape uh. Grape nukewa ac fig emwem nukewa kinkinla tari.
I'm totally miserable! I've become like someone trying to glean summer fruit after the grape harvest is over. I can't find any grapes to eat, and there are no early figs that I love.
2 Wanginna sie mwet suwohs lula fin acn uh, wangin sie su inse pwaye nu sin God. Mwet nukewa suk pacl fal in orek akmas. Elos suk na in oru koluk nu sin mwet Israel wialos.
All the good people in the country are gone, there's no one who does right left anywhere. Everyone is looking to murder others; they try to trap even their own brothers.
3 Elos nukewa mwet na pisrla in oru ma koluk. Mwet fulat ac mwet nununku soano in oasr mol nu selos meet liki elos fah oru ma kunalos. Mwet pweyen uh elos fahk ma elos kena kac, na mwet kol ingan insese nu kac ac tukeni orek pwapa lukma.
They are experts at evil; both officials and judges ask for bribes; the powerful demand their evil desires; and they scheme together to get what they want.
4 Finne mwet su srulun wo ac lulalfongiyuk inmasrlolos, a elos mwet lusrongten oana mah uh. Len sac summa tari ke God El ac kalyei mwet uh, oana ke El tuh sensenkakinulos meet ke pusren mwet palu. Inge elos arulana fohsak.
Even the best of them is like a thorny bush, the most honest like a thorn hedge. Your day of judgment that was announced by the prophets, your time of punishment, has arrived. You'rethrown into complete confusion.
5 Nimet lulalfongi mwet tulan lom ku mwet kawuk lom. Liyaung ma kom fahk, finne nu sin mutan kiom.
Don't trust a neighbor, don't rely on a friend. Watch what you say even to the one who lies in your arms.
6 In pacl inge tulik mukul nutin papa uh oru papa uh oana mwet lalfon, ac tulik mutan uh supangkas nu sin nina kialos uh, ac mutan fusr akukuin nu sin nina talupalos. Mwet lokoalok lun sie mwet pa mwet na in sou lal sifacna.
For a son treats his father with contempt; a daughter opposes her mother, and a daughter-in-law her mother-in-law. Your enemies are members of your own family.
7 Tusruktu nga fah tawi na LEUM GOD; nga fah tupan God, mweyen nga lulalfongi lah El ac moliyula. God luk El fah porongeyu.
But as for me, I look to the Lord. I will wait for the God who saves me. My God will hear me.
8 Wangin sripa mwet lokoalok lasr in niankusri kut. Kut ne ikori, tuh kut ac fah sifilpa tuyak. Kut ne oasr in lohsr in pacl inge, tuh LEUM GOD El kalem lasr.
Don't gloat over me, my enemies! Even though I fall, I will rise again. Though I sit in darkness, the Lord is my light.
9 Kut tuh oru ma Koluk lain LEUM GOD, na pa inge kut enenu in muteng kasrkusrak lal ke kitin pacl. Tusruktu ke saflaiya El ac fah loangekut ac akwoyela ma koluk su tuh orek nu sesr. El ac fah uskutme nu ke kalem. Kut fah moul ac liye ke El ac molikutla.
I will endure the Lord's anger because I have sinned against him. But after that he will argue my case and give me justice. He will bring me into the light and I will see his integrity.
10 Na mwet lokoalok lasr fah liye ma inge ac mwekinla — nuna mwet lokoalok pacna su tuh isrun kut ac fahk, “Pia sruk LEUM GOD se lowos an?” Kut ac fah liye ke kutangyukla elos, ac lolongyuki oana fohk furarrar inkanek uh.
Then my enemies will see it and cover their faces in shame for taunting me, asking, “Where is the Lord your God?” With my own eyes I will see what happens to them; they will be trodden down like mud in the streets.
11 Mwet Jerusalem, pacl in sifilpa musai pot in siti uh summa. In pacl sac acn lowos ac fah akyokyeyukelik.
On that day it will be time to build your walls. On that day your boundaries will be extended.
12 Mwet lowos fah folokeni nu yuruwos liki acn nukewa — liki acn Assyria layen kutulap, liki Egypt layen eir, liki acn nukewa apunla Infacl Euphrates, liki meoa ac fineol yen loessula uh.
On that day people will come from Assyria and the cities of Egypt, from Egypt to the Euphrates River, from sea to sea, from mountain to mountain.
13 Tusruktu faclu ac fah ekla sie acn mwesis ke sripen ma koluk lalos su muta fac.
But the rest of the earth will become desolate because of what those who live there have done.
14 LEUM GOD, kom in oana sie shepherd nu sin mwet lom, mwet su kom sulela. Elos finne muta mukaimtal insak uh, oasr na ima wowo raunelosla. Lela elos in som mongo in ima wowo lun Bashan ac Gilead, oana ke elos tuh oru in pacl meet ah.
Protect your people with your shepherd's rod. Take care of your flock, your special people, who live alone in the wilderness and in cultivated land. Let them feed in Basham and Gilead as they did long ago.
15 Orek mwenmen nu sesr, LEUM GOD, in oana ke kom tuh oru in len ingo ke kom uskutme liki acn Egypt.
Like the time when you left the land of Egypt, I will do miracles for you.
16 Mutanfahl puspis ac fah liye ma inge ac arulana mwekinla kac, finne yohk ku lalos. Elos fah kaliya oallos ac fonosya insraclos ke sripen elos toasrla.
The nations will see, and they will be humiliated despite their strength. They will cover their mouths with their hands, and their ears shall become deaf.
17 Elos fah orak infohk uh oana wet uh. Ke sripen sangeng lalos elos ac rarrar ac tuku liki pot ku lalos, ac forla nu sin LEUM GOD lasr.
They will lick the dust like snakes; they will be like the creepy-crawlies of the earth. They will come trembling from their fortresses to meet the Lord our God, fearful and afraid before him.
18 Wangin sie pac god oana kom, O LEUM GOD. Kom nunak munas ke ma koluk lun mwet lom su painmoulla. Kom tia sruokya kasrkusrak lom nwe tok, ac kom insewowo in fahkak nu sesr lungse kawil lom.
Who is a God like you who forgives sin and passes over the rebellion of those who are left of his special people? You do not remain angry forever because you delight in showing faithful love.
19 Kom ac fah sifilpa pakoten nu sesr. Kom fah futungya ma koluk lasr nu ye niom, ac supweya nu yen loallana in meoa uh!
You will have compassion on us again. You will tread our sins under your feet, and you will throw our sins into the depths of the sea.
20 Kom fah akkalemye oaru ac lungse kawil lom nu sin mwet lom, mwet in fwil natul Abraham ac Jacob, oana ke kom wuleang nu sin mwet matu lasr pacl loes somla ah.
You will give your trustworthy truth to the people of Jacob, your faithful love to the people of Abraham, as you promised our forefathers long ago.
