Micah 1
1 In pacl ma Jotham, ac Ahaz, ac Hezekiah elos tuh tokosra lun acn Judah, LEUM GOD El sang kas inge nu sel Micah, su sie mwet in siti srisrik Moresheth. LEUM GOD El ikasla nu sel Micah kalmen ma inge nukewa ke Samaria ac Jerusalem.
This is the word of the LORD that came to Micah the Moreshite in the days of Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah—what he saw regarding Samaria and Jerusalem:
2 Lohng ma se inge, kowos mutanfahl nukewa; Porongo ma se inge, kowos nukewa su muta fin faclu! LEUM GOD Fulatlana El ac fah kaskas lain kowos. Lipsre! El kaskas liki Tempul lal inkusrao me.
Hear, O peoples, all of you; listen, O earth, and everyone in it! May the Lord GOD bear witness against you, the Lord from His holy temple.
3 LEUM GOD El tuku liki acn mutal sel. El fah oatui ac fahsr fin mangon eol uh.
For behold, the LORD comes forth from His dwelling place; He will come down and tread on the high places of the earth.
4 Na eol uh ac fah kofelik ye nial Oana kiris ma oan ke e uh. Ma inge ac fah kahkla nu infahlfal uh, Oana kof uh ke sororla pe eol uh.
The mountains will melt beneath Him, and the valleys will split apart, like wax before the fire, like water rushing down a slope.
5 Ma inge nukewa ac sikyak mweyen mwet Israel elos orekma koluk ac tunyuna lain God. Tunyuna lun Israel ac sisi nu fin su? Nu fin Samaria sifacna, siti fulat selos! Ac su ac eis mwatan alu nu ke ma sruloala in acn Judah? Jerusalem sifacna!
All this is for the transgression of Jacob and the sins of the house of Israel. What is the transgression of Jacob? Is it not Samaria? And what is the high place of Judah? Is it not Jerusalem?
6 Ouinge LEUM GOD El fahk, “Nga fah kunausla Samaria tuh in oana sie yol in ma musalla in acn turangang, yen grape uh yok we. Nga fah okoala eot musalsal lun siti uh nu infahlfal uh, ac oru tuh in wangin ma oan fin pwelung lun siti sac.
Therefore I will make Samaria a heap of rubble in the open field, a planting area for a vineyard. I will pour her stones into the valley and expose her foundations.
7 Ma sruloala nukewa ma saok sin mwet we ac fah fokfoki nu ke ip srisrik, ac ma nukewa ma itukyang nu sin mutan ma kosro in tempul lul ma sruloala ac eis molo kac fah isisyak ke e. Mwe alyalu saya nukewa ac fah orala sie yol in ma sisila. Samaria el tuh eisani molin mutan kosro uh in akkasrupye fokin acn uh, a inge mwet lokoalok lun Samaria ac fah usla ma inge ac sang nu sin mutan kosro ke tempul lun ma sruloala in acn saya.”
All her carved images will be smashed to pieces; all her wages will be burned in the fire, and I will destroy all her idols. Since she collected the wages of a prostitute, they will be used again on a prostitute.
8 Na Micah el fahk, “Ke sripa se inge nga ac fah mwemelil ac eoksra. Nga ac fah koflufolla foroht forma, ac tia loeyuk niuk, in akkalemye asor luk. Nga fah wowoyak oana kosro inima, ac mwemelil oana pusren sie kakowa ke fong.
Because of this I will lament and wail; I will walk barefoot and naked. I will howl like a jackal and mourn like an ostrich.
9 Kinet ke Samaria tiana ku in mahla, ac Judah el apkuran in sun pac luman keok sacna. Mwe ongoiya sun tari mutunpot lun Jerusalem, acn su mwet luk muta we.”
For her wound is incurable; it has reached even Judah; it has approached the gate of my people, as far as Jerusalem itself.
10 Nimet fahk nu sin mwet lokoalok lasr in acn Gath lah kutangyukla kut. Nimet lela elos in liye ke kowos tung. Mwet in Beth Leaphrah, kowos ipippip infohk uh in akkalemye inse toasr lowos!
Do not tell it in Gath; do not weep at all. Roll in the dust in Beth-leaphrah.
11 Kowos mwet Shaphir, kowos ac som nu in sruoh, koflufol ac mwekin. Elos su muta in Zaanan tiana ku in ilme liki siti selos. Pacl se kowos lohng pusren tung in acn Bethezel, kowos ac etu na lah wangin nien wikla we.
Depart in shameful nakedness, O dwellers of Shaphir. The dwellers of Zaanan will not come out. Beth-ezel is in mourning; its support is taken from you.
12 Mwet Maroth elos tawi ac tupan in kasreyuk elos, mweyen LEUM GOD El oru tuh ongoiya lulap apkuranyang nu Jerusalem.
For the dwellers of Maroth pined for good, but calamity came down from the LORD, even to the gate of Jerusalem.
13 Kowos su muta in Lachish, kapriya horse an nu ke chariot an. Kowos etai ma koluk lun Israel, pwanang Jerusalem oru pac ma koluk.
Harness your chariot horses, O dweller of Lachish. You were the beginning of sin to the Daughter of Zion, for the transgressions of Israel were found in you.
14 Ac kowos mwet Judah, wilkasla nu sin acn Moresheth Gath. Ac fah wangin kasru lun siti srisrik Achzib nu sin tokosra lun Israel.
Therefore, send farewell gifts to Moresheth-gath; the houses of Achzib will prove deceptive to the kings of Israel.
15 Mwet Mareshah, LEUM GOD El fah eiskowosyang nu inpoun mwet lokoalok, su ac fah sruokya acn in muta lowos. Mwet kol lun Israel fah som ac wikla in sie luf in acn Adullam.
I will again bring a conqueror against you, O dweller of Mareshah. The glory of Israel will come to Adullam.
16 Mwet Judah, kalla aunsifowos in asor ke tulik kowos kuloi. Koala insifowos in mangsrasrala oana sifen won vulture uh, mweyen tulik nutuwos ac fah utukla liki kowos nu in sruoh.
Shave yourselves bald and cut off your hair in mourning for your precious children; make yourselves as bald as an eagle, for they will go from you into exile.
